The morning light is faint, and the east is about to dawn.
The long and torturous night has just passed, and there is a touch of gray-green sunlight in the pale gold, which is still unable to evaporate the thin clouds and mist in the air.
Woo, woo, woo!
A line of thick white smoke curled up into the sky with three or two clouds floating in it, and three whistles that penetrated the sky tore through the silence that enveloped Diagon Alley.
Wow!
The deserted Diagon Alley suddenly woke up from the silence.
On the central cobblestone road, two rows of closed shops suddenly opened wide, and a batter wearing a gray windbreaker and a solemn expression came out of each shop.
The well-trained beaters stood upright in front of the shops, holding magic wands, and their sharp eyes did not miss any disturbance on the street in front of them.
Whoosh!
The whistle of the train was still echoing in the sky above Diagon Alley. Over there at the Diagon Alley station, about thirty thugs riding broomsticks suddenly took off.
After flying to a position about two hundred feet above the ground, this batch of strikers stopped climbing.
They quickly adjusted their formation in mid-air and lined up horizontally, with a distance of almost two hundred feet between them.
After the formation stabilized, this team of batters posted in the sky began to advance slowly.
With the main road as the central axis, a carpet-like high-altitude inspection of Diagon Alley began.
The chill that filled the air in the morning made the queue of horse-drawn carriages lined up on the street start to stir uneasily.
"Mr. Shacklebolt——"
An Auror hurriedly emerged from the Leaky Cauldron pub that had been temporarily requisitioned. Under the gaze of many colleagues, he ran quickly Head towards the majestic white building of Gringotts and stay under the marble stairs.
"How's it going?"
Kingsley, standing in the middle of a group of people, immediately cast his gaze at the Auror.
"The Department of Transportation has begun to seal off all the fireplaces in Diagon Alley. From now on, no one can reach here through the Floo Network."
Kingsley's expression was solemn. Relaxing a bit, he raised his wand and fired a cluster of blue fireworks into the sky.
Not long after, four fireworks shot up into the sky from the four corners of a huge rectangular area.
"The anti-Apparition spell has been deployed——"
Kingsley turned to look at the man standing next to him with a cane, and the blue magic eyes in his eyes swept over Alastor swept away,
"This is the anti-Apparition spell improved by himself from the teaching department of Amosta. Whether it is the teleportation magic of goblins or house elves, it will not It works."
"Amosta always does things right!"
Alastor smiled hoarsely,
"But still Don't take it lightly. If I were a Death Eater, I would choose to do it on the road!"
Kingsley nodded and suddenly sighed,
"I have never experienced such a big action by the ministry. If last time I meant that the mysterious man had just started to operate in the magical world, At that time, if the ministry had such determination, the mysterious man might not have caused such great harm."
"Albus did send a warning to the ministry at that time, but no one took it seriously. ——"
Arastor said disdainfully,
"Bones is the only one who has been the Minister of Magic in recent times!"
"Minister Bones will be pleased to hear you say that, Alastor-"
Shrouded in the dark door, Sirius and Remus walked out side by side, with Tonk behind them. Si, Beer et al.
Remus said with a smile, then looked at his watch and narrowed his eyes,
"I think it's time, Kingsley."
< p>"Then let's get started."Kingsley said, raising his wand into the air a second time, sending out a stream of green fireworks.
The chill in the air in Diagon Alley went even further, as suffocating as a taut bowstring.
The Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors standing at the door stepped aside, and the goblins of Gringotts escorted the floating boxes out of the hall.
Each wooden box is as big as two or three Hogwarts student suitcases. When it falls on the carriage, it will make a heart-stopping heavy crash.
At first sight of clear blue, a thick cloud slowly drifted from the sky above what I originally thought would be a nice weather, covering the sky above Diagon Alley.
Since managing the learning machine workshop for Amosta, Remus has finally escaped from his previous precarious life, and quickly entered the upper reaches of the European wizarding world.
But Remus, who had seen a lot of wealth, couldn't help but show a bit of surprise when he saw the treasure chests being loaded onto the carriage one after another, like a mountain spring!
"Whose vault is this?"
Remus was speechless and turned to look at Kingsley.
"The first batch to be transported was the vaults of the Carrow brothers, Antonin Dolohov, and Travers——"
Kingsley said,
"The second batch belongs to Rozier, Selwyn, and Avery, and the others are in the third batch."
"The descendants of these pure-blood wizard families The level of wealth is beyond my imagination--"
Remus shook his head, filled with emotion.
"They are not the richest group of people -"
Sirius looked indifferent,
"I am still studying. At that time, my father took me to the Black family's vault, and the amount of gold here was not as good as that in that vault."
"Oh, I never quite figured it out——"
Bill looked at those boxes and said slightly melancholy,
"How did they give themDid you get so much gold yourself? "
"Extremely exacting and plundering——"
Sirius showed contempt,
"You must know that the real wealth of these ancient families is not these. gold.
But they monopolize the workshops that ordinary people need in their lives, which can bring them endless wealth. The vast majority of ordinary people in the magic world have been giving these all their lives. Working in the family's industry has been like this for centuries-"
Even if the goblin was very efficient in transporting gold, it still took more than twenty minutes to transport these more than one hundred large wooden boxes. , treasures worth no less than two million gold galleons were loaded onto the carriage.
"According to the plan, I will lead the Aurors to escort the first train--"
Gold. Sly looked at Alastor with a solemn expression
“You will be responsible for the second column, Alastor. "
"Don't worry, Kingsley--"
Alastor's nose twitched,
"I won't let those despicable Death Eaters There is an opportunity! "
The heavy carriage filled with wooden boxes rolled across the cobblestone road, leaving two clear marks on the ground.
"Tsk, tsk--"
Looking at the convoy gradually going away, Tonks sighed in admiration,
"I wonder what the ministry will do with such a large sum of gold? "
"I heard Amosta mention it-"
Sirius shrugged,
"He seemed to be asking Bones The minister suggested increasing the salaries of ministry employees. "
The excitement and excitement turned Tonks' hair into a beautiful orange-red color,
"A salary increase, oh, this is really great, I have wanted to give it to myself for a long time Get a broomstick! "
"That will have to wait until you survive this day! "
Alastor roared unhappily,
"Always be vigilant! "
Looking at Tonks who was disapproving, Remus said gently,
" Alastor is right, Tonks, Voldemort can't just sit back and watch Minila. He would lose all face if he took his Death Eaters' gold. ”
“But it’s unlikely that the Death Eaters will take action in Diagon Alley, isn’t it? "
Tonks said briskly,
"This is the most tightly protected place during the entire transportation process. The Ministry has eliminated all ways to teleport to Diagon Alley. It is unlikely that they will take action in London. Amosta is guarding King's Cross Station. According to me, they are most likely to take action halfway -"
"Don't underestimate the cunning of the mysterious man. ! ”
Alastor limped down the marble steps in front of the door and stood on the street patrolling back and forth.
The beaters and proud men of the Ministry of Magic were guarding the streets. Half of them will follow Kingsley to escort the first train.
The rest will be divided into half to follow the Order of the Phoenix.people escorted the second train.
The last part will follow the bounty wizard hired by the ministry to escort the third train.
The carriage procession that transported the gold to the station returned to the gate of Gringotts.
With the last sharp whistle that pierced the sky, the first train finally set off. (End of this chapter)
