Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

In the restaurant at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Harry Potter was holding a copy of the Daily Prophet and reading the news on it.From the time he saw the headline on the front page until he read the reissue of the last edition, Harry's brows were always furrowed and never let go.

A green flame rose from the fireplace in the dining room, and then a figure with a backpack emerged from the flames.

"Good morning, Harry" Hermione who came to 12 Grimmauld Place greeted Harry happily.

"Good morning, Hermione." Harry put down the newspaper in his hand, "How was your holiday?"

"I lived a very fulfilling life." Hermione replied cheerfully while cleaning off the ashes from her body with her wand, "I never thought that my family's investment a few months ago would bring us a small building with a good location. Today my parents and I are busy converting this building into a private hospital."

Immediately afterwards, Hermione blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah to design and plan their own property.

Seeing Hermione talking so excitedly, Harry was ashamed to tell her that the income of her family's investment was based on the blood of goblins and wizards.At the same time, he was also worried that Hermione would set up another "Fairy Rights Promotion Association". If this was the case, Harry could only persuade her to give up this idea of ​​being an enemy of the whole world.

After Hermione finished speaking, Harry wanted to ask her a question.Unexpectedly, as soon as Hermione finished speaking, she found the newspaper that Harry had just read these days on the table, so she sat on the edge of the table at home, picked up the newspaper and said, "I don't have time to read the Daily Prophet these days." , let me see what's in the news recently."

As soon as she picked up today's newspaper, when she saw the headlines on the front page, Hermione's expression changed to o, and this expression lasted for nearly 10 minutes.

"What's going on?" After reading the headlines on the front page, Hermione pointed to the newspaper report on the meeting of the Ministry of Magic Finance Directors and Central Bank Governors in New York, as well as Narcissa Malfoy in the news photo. Harry.

"As you can see," Harry said after shrugging.

"Why does the Ministry of Magic have a central bank?" Hermione asked Harry somewhat uncertainly, "In the world of wizards, isn't there only one Gringotts Bank?"

"Hermione" Harry said cautiously so that the following news would not irritate her, "Gringotts Gringotts is already in the hands of wizards."

"How could this be?" Hermione shouted in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that the goblins will rebel again?"

When Hermione finished speaking, she turned over the newspapers from the previous few days on the table, trying to find news about goblins and Gringotts.

When she picked up a newspaper and read the news on the front page, she opened her mouth in surprise.

The headline on the front page of this newspaper read Lucius Malfoy's cursed young Auror's family hated his country and killed him in the Ministry of Magic.

The next piece of news, the headline is London mutiny, open fire on each other, the four armies besieged the Death Eaters, and vowed to collect blood debts for the dead goblins.

In addition, the other news on the front page are headlines that look extremely scary, such as the disappearance of Harry Potter, fear of disaster, the house arrest of several directors, rumors of the death of the Dark Lord and Diagon Alley's empty city, etc. .

"What's going on here?" Hermione continued to ask Harry, the headlines alone showed how unreliable the news was.

"This is the goblin rebellion that happened a few days ago." Harry looked at the news about himself and replied with pouted lips, "They attacked and controlled the Daily Prophet the night before the newspaper was released, and then concocted a This newspaper. As a result, before noon that day, the goblin rebellion in the whole of England was suppressed."

"My God, what the hell is going on?" Faced with this situation, Hermione was a little confused.

Harry took the stack of newspapers and found the Christmas Day issue.

Then he dug out a newly released youth magazine from it, and handed them to Hermione together.

"Look for yourself," said Harry, "it's all about Goblins and Gringotts, the Daily Prophet is about what happened on Christmas Eve, and there's an analysis of this series of events in youth magazines." article."

After Hermione took the newspapers and magazines, she sat at the dining table and read them intently. Harry could only call Kreacher and ask him to carry Hermione's luggage into the room and put them away.

In the Daily Prophet issued on December 12, the headline photo on the front page was Voldemort who did not look back at the explosion.The ensuing photographs and reports of the killing and looting at Gringotts that night took up half the pages of the papers that day.

Needless to say the Gringotts gate exploded, the hall riddled with holes, the business hall strewn with corpses, and the blood-stained floor; it is also needless to say that wizards in black robes killed goblins in their rooms, and crazy wizards ransacked every room. In the office, the nimble Voldemort suddenly rushed from the front door to the sky.The windbreaker Voldemort wore alone crushed Hermione's three views into powder.

Like reviewing the contents of the textbook at the end of the term, Hermione read the whole report carefully with [-] points, and carefully read every photo in the newspaper three times.

"Harry, there must be a big secret behind this matter." After putting down the newspaper, Hermione said to Harry seriously, "I think this is part of a huge conspiracy of the Death Eaters."

Harry didn't answer, just pointed to the youth magazines on the table.

Hermione opened the magazine. In the table of contents, she saw that the main contents of this issue were the analysis of the various classes in the magical society, the seriousness of goblins and economic problems, the characteristics of the current economic situation, questions about Gringotts and Some estimates about the current international situation and other articles that analyze the downfall of Gringotts from a deep level.

At first, Hermione thought that these articles were written by someone Zhang, but when she saw the author's name, she found that it was the blond Veela who used to pester Harry and Percy for interviews in Hogsmeade name.At this time, Hermione suddenly remembered something, picked up the Daily Prophet just now, and found that the report that fully recorded "Crystal Night" was also written by her.But at this moment, she was in no mood to pay attention to the author. There were too many monsters in the world, so it was not surprising that one or two popped up from time to time.

Just as Hermione was seriously reading the magazine, the fireplace in the dining room lit up with a green flame again, and this time it was the whole family of the Weasley family.As soon as they stepped out of the fireplace, they saw Hermione sitting at the table concentrating on the magazine, and they all consciously lowered their voices.Then Ron took out his wand and "biu" a sound-blocking spell to Hermione, saying, "This way we won't disturb her."

"Harry, where's Black?" asked Mrs. Weasley, "is he not here today?"

The corner of Harry's mouth twitched, and he replied: "He often ran out these days, and then came back with a smell of perfume all over his body. When he came back last time, there were lipstick marks on his neck. He didn't come back last night."

Mrs. Weasley's mouth twitched like Harry's, not knowing what to say.

After saying hello, Harry found that Percy had also come, but his face was very dark, as if someone owed him hundreds of thousands of gold coins and hadn't paid them back.

"Percy, why do you look so bad?" Harry asked strangely.

Percy didn't want to talk to Harry, so he waved his hand to show that he was fine.

"Harry, is Mr. Zhang here?" Mr. Weasley asked.

"No." Harry shook his head, "Is he coming?"

Mr. Weasley nodded and replied: "Yes, he informed Lupine that after lunch today, before you return to Hogwarts, you will have a meeting with the Order of the Phoenix."

"He'll be there when lunch is ready," said Ron confidently from the sidelines.
