126. The down-and-out Delacour family (please subscribe!)
The arrogant little fat man saw that the goblin was so respectful to Dunn, and the look in Dunn's eyes immediately became a little uncomfortable.
"Ment your name!"
In the face of the unreasonable request of the little fat man, Dunn did not need to speak, and the two fairies in uniform jumped out first.
"Don't be so rude to Gringotts' esteemed guests!
"Honorable guest, as long as you order, we will drive this rude fellow out immediately!"
Dunn knew that the two goblins were taking the opportunity to get revenge on the little fat man, but when it came to teaching people, he always liked to do it himself.
Otherwise, how can you teach the other party a lesson?
A wand suddenly appeared in Dunn's hand.
"Shut the throat tongue!"
Little Fatty, including the two goblins, never thought that Dunn would really dare to do it in Gringotts, and it was too late when he reacted.
"Nine Five Seven" The little fat man who was hit by a white light clutched his neck in pain and wanted to speak, but found that his tongue was tightly stuck to his upper jaw, and he could only make a series of whining sounds.
Furious, he charged straight at Dunn.
The two goblins hurried forward to hold him down.
The tuxedo-clad leprechaun who had just accompanied Dunn out of the VIP room walked over quickly and asked what happened to the two leprechauns.
The two fairies answered truthfully.
The tuxedo fairy told them to let go of the little fat man first and turned to look at Dunn.
"Dignified guests, no action is allowed in Gringotts, otherwise—"
Dunn interrupted directly.
"A fine, right?
The tuxedo fairy was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly.
That's exactly what Gringotts' rules do.
Who made the goblin born to love money like life?
"If I pay double the fine, can I beat him again, and you'll hold him down for me?"
The tuxedo fairy froze directly.
Before he could answer, the little fat man, whose mouth was covered by the curse, shrank back in fright.
The most unpromising thing was that he actually hid behind Furong and Gabriel.
How arrogant I was when I scolded the two women as dirty mixed races, how cowardly they were now.
Surprisingly, Gabriel, who had not wiped away her tears and Furong, actually kept the little fat man behind her and stared at Dunn with a vigilant expression.
Hermione quickly stepped between the two parties and explained that it was a misunderstanding.
Many guests in the hall looked this way, and they were at the door of the VIP room again, which made the tuxedo fairy very embarrassed.
He didn't want any fines now, just begged Dunn to put his wand away quickly.
"Dear guest, I have already investigated the matter. The Delacour family was indeed our Gringotts VIP customer before, but not long ago, the head of the Delacour family, Mr. William, will deposit a large amount of money in his account. Some of the money was withdrawn."5
"Although the Delacour family still has some land and manor contracts pledged with us, the French Ministry of Magic has just announced that all wizards who have fled the country, especially the French wizards who have come to England, have all their properties frozen and confiscated. ."
"The current Delacour family has no property other than a few thousand gold Galleons in the account, so they can no longer enjoy VIP treatment."
The little fat man hid behind Furong and groaned for a while, but Furong could only stand up.
"Those who surrendered are not qualified to freeze the assets of the Delacour family!
The tuxedo goblin shrugged, saying she couldn't help it.
Except for the "upstarts" like the Corleone family who are keen to save money, for any pure-blood wizard family, land and manor properties are the bulk of the family's wealth.
But it is a pity that fixed assets such as land and manor cannot be moved. After France was defeated, the French wizards in exile naturally lost the ownership of these wealth.
Gringotts did not freeze the money in the accounts of these French wizards, not because the goblins were kind, but because the war had not yet been decided.
Although the rising Dark Lord has swept across Europe, his ambition to dominate Europe cannot be realized without defeating the British Ministry of Magic.
In the end, no matter who wins, they have to go to Gringotts to save money anyway.
Of course, the fairies don't have to rush to stand in line.
Dunn glanced at the three of Hermione.
"Are you going to stay here or go back with me?"
Both Harry and Ronald had embarrassed expressions on their faces.
On the one hand, they all looked down on the little fat man named Louie, but on the other hand, they couldn't really leave Fleur and Gabriel behind......
Hermione stepped forward and whispered a few words in Fleur's ear.
Furong hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.
She turned around and explained to Gabriel and Louis in French.
Gabrielle always listened to Fleur, but the little fat Louie learned that Fleur was going to take him with Dunn and shook his head desperately, not sure what to say.
Furong had no choice but to warn the little fat man with a stern face.
Either go with them or stay here alone.
There is no third way.
Fatty Louie is forced to compromise.
He pointed to his speechless mouth, whimpering.
Hermione guessed that Fleur, Gabriel and Louie had an "extraordinary" relationship, and took the initiative to plead with Dunn.
Dunn shrugged regretfully.
"I invented this spell to make some people shut up obediently, and didn't even think about removing the spell. After six hours, the spell will be lifted automatically.
The little fat man was furious and screamed at Dunn.
Dunn looked at Hermione earnestly and said, "See? I don't think he's learned his lesson at all, six hours is too short, better six hours!
Little Fatty Louie was so frightened that he immediately retracted behind Furong, not daring to make any more sound.
3.1
The two sides reached a "happy" consensus, and everyone followed Dunn back to Hogsmeade Village.
Walking out of Gringotts, Dunn found Fleur and the others with two house-elves and a little girl in a dirty robe.
The little fat man looked at the little girl with more disgust than he looked at the two house-elves.
The three of Hermione also noticed the little girl, and Fleur explained that she was the adopted daughter of a groom of the Delacour family and escaped with them.
Fleur saw that she was pitiful, and she was about the same age as Louis, so she decided to keep her as a maid for Louis.
Seeing that Hermione was about to argue with her immediately, Fleur stopped her first.
"Hermione, I know what you're trying to say. Can I explain it to you when we find a safe place to live?"
