Chapter 578 Rita's Information
Gringotts wanted William to be a pickpocket, but he was reluctant to bring out good things.
Goblins are stingy, among their values:
You only have the right to use the things you sell. After the person dies, they must be returned and cannot be transferred.
Therefore, good things like the Gryffindor sword must not be taken out.
After taking out a few treasures, there are more silver candlesticks, goblets, and even silver tableware from the fifteenth century.
What does William want this thing for, lighting candles with a silver candlestick?
Sir, times have changed!
Will William only use electricity at home?Aren't electric lights better than wax paper?Isn't a heater more comfortable than a fireplace?
There are also silver plates, which normal people use this kind of thing at home?
William said he preferred porcelain.
This kind of worthless, but seemingly ostentatious thing is attractive to those wizards, but William is completely indifferent.
He just bought some weapons, armor, and some jewels and jewelry that were so beautiful that Hermione couldn't take his eyes off them.
A million galleons were paid for this.
This is completely unimaginable for normal wizards, but it is simple for William.
Anyway, it's not my own money, so I don't feel bad when I spend it.
The goblin still owes more than 300 million yuan... William decided to take it slowly.
Those good things... need to be squeezed out little by little.
Things like Garen don't need much, and when the magic stone is refined, how much gold is there... Magic items are more important.
After leaving Gringotts, William and Hermione were going to pick up their dresses.
There will be a Yule Ball during the Triwizard Tournament, and the school has told you to bring your own dress.
Who knew that the gate of Gringotts was already surrounded by wizard reporters.
I don't know who released the wind, Stark and Granger are here.
"Mr. Stark, what do you think of the Ministry of Magic press conference this morning?"
"Mr. Stark, why are you absent? Are you dissatisfied with Minister Fudge?"
"Miss Granger, did the Ministry of Magic invite you? Are they dissatisfied with witches?"
"..."
It sounds like an old boxer, the kind with superb boxing skills.
Neither William nor Hermione spoke.
The last time I casually answered reporters' questions in the camp, I said:
The attackers were Death Eaters who escaped justice.
The next day, the newspaper spread rumors: Mr. Stark believed that there was a big mistake in the Ministry of Magic, and many Death Eaters were deliberately let go.
"You keep silent, are you threatened by the Ministry of Magic?" a reporter shouted.
"Don't be afraid, we are all your backing! If you have anything to say, just tell us! We won't say it!"
William grabbed Hermione's arm and Disapparated directly in full view.
No one cares about 'minors can't use magic outside of school'.
What the two of them had done made everyone deliberately ignore one point.
If you really want to talk like this, should you kill the lake monster, or save the kidnapped wizard?
Everyone is a little excited, as long as the photos are taken, I will go back to write the manuscript:
Shock!The Ministry of Magic blackmails Stark into keeping his mouth shut.
Not a word!Stark and Granger are afraid that they will be dissatisfied with Minister Fudge.
William appeared on the street corner, and Hermione suddenly reached out and grabbed a beetle from his shoulder.
The beetle showed a flattering expression and kept nodding.
"Let's go, find a place where no one is around." William glanced at Rita, and Apparated again.
……
……
The Leaky Cauldron, in a certain room.
The three sat down at the table.
"How about it, is my report okay?" Rita tugged at her crocodile leather bag.
"Didn't I say that? You are not allowed to write reports about me and Hermione." William said in a cold tone.
"But... the whole incident cannot get around the two of you at all.
Besides, most of the things I wrote are still facts, only a small part has undergone artistic processing. "
Rita fixed her eyes on William, straightened her curly hair, and took out parchment and a quill from the crocodile leather handbag.
But seeing William's face, he put it on the table again, raised his hand and surrendered:
"If I don't write it, someone will distort the report. Let's see... Tomorrow morning, the newspaper will report that Fudge and the two of you are at odds.
Make sure you don't let me report truthfully, I can be regarded as a clear stream in the industry..."
"Thank you so much, it's time to give you a Pulitzer Prize." William sneered.
"How's the Ministry?" Hermione poured William and herself a cup of tea.
"It's a mess."
Seeing that Hermione didn't pour it for herself, Rita curled her lips and did it herself.
She would have preferred to drink Firewhiskey.
"For a whole week, people sent yelling letters. Complaining about the safety of the World Cup.
It is hoped that the Ministry of Magic will compensate them for their damaged property. "
Rita smiled badly: "I also wrote to say that I lost something, not many, just a dozen pages of wish list."
"If you two need anything, hurry up and place an order, maybe the Ministry of Magic will compensate you.
Mundungus Fletcher filed a claim that he lost his tent with twelve bedrooms and jacuzzi...”
Neither William nor Hermione spoke, but raised their glasses at the same time and took a sip of tea.
His movements and demeanor were surprisingly consistent, and he almost snorted disdainfully in his nose.
How much do you two know each other to do the same thing?
Rita, who was accidentally stuffed with dog food, couldn't help but said sourly:
"Well, Mr. Rich, Multi-billion, and Miss Yijinren, there is no shortage of Garen at all..."
She put her arms around William's shoulders and came close to kissing his face with her mouth.
She took a deep breath and asked affectionately, "Let me tell you something, how much Galleon did you earn this World Cup?"
A quill and parchment floated in the air again.
Hermione's wand waved, and they burned violently.
Rita immediately restrained her smile and shut up.
After dealing with each other for so long, she can be considered to have estimated the bottom line of William and Hermione.
Something irrelevant, or roughly true to the situation, neither of them minded Rita reporting.
For example, when she was talking to the United States at the time, she wrote a fairly informative report in Venice, but she was not warned.
But if they make it up, or inquire about privacy, both of them will be angry.
"Is there anything else strange going on at the Ministry?" William asked, putting down his glass.
"Yes... Neither Crouch nor Bagman attended today's press conference." Rita quickly took out the photos of the press conference from her bag.
"Crouch said he was sick..."
"Ill?" William frowned.
On the night of the kidnapping, he saw Crouch's name appear on the map with his own eyes.
But after rushing in, a fire broke out. He was busy saving people, and finally went to look for it, but he didn't see Crouch.
Thinking about it... he should have taken advantage of the chaos and fled.After all, he was caught by Death Eaters, and his face was really embarrassing.
At this time, it was probably just pretending to be sick.
"What happened to Ludo?" Hermione asked curiously.
"He's sick too." Rita sneered.
"But it must be a lie, he is a veteran liar, if he has something to do with you, you must stay away.
You don't know him, this World Cup..."
"The goblin owes 25 Galleons," said Hermione. "And with leprechaun gold."
"...Well, Miss Informed already knows." Rita was a little disappointed.
"Is there any other interesting information?" Hermione grinned. "Otherwise we won't pay."
Always relying on the beetle as a threat is actually not very reliable, and it is easy to accumulate resentment.
Since William asked Rita to work hard to inquire about information, he would pay wages as appropriate.
Rita thought for a while and said, "Hogwarts held the Triwizard Tournament..."
"understood."
"...Mad-Eye Moody became your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
"I heard Professor McGonagall mention it."
"Then..." Rita searched her stomach, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Bagman was beaten."
"Huh?" William looked up.
Rita's spirit was lifted, and she immediately said: "In fact, he not only owes money to the goblin, but also secretly sits in the farm, and owes a lot of money to wizards."
"Someone broke into his house and tried to force him to pay back the money..." Rita gloated:
"The yard was blown up, and finally the Ministry of Magic came, but they didn't catch the attackers.
According to Bagman, goblins may have been involved as well. "
William narrowed his eyes.This information is really nothing.
He owed so much money and wanted to be an old man.Being chased is a normal thing.
William even suspected that this was directed and acted by Ludo... the purpose was to let Auror protect him.
But as Rita said... Ludo is not worthy of sympathy.
