Chapter 937

A few hours ago, a huge fire dragon escaped from Gringotts' underground vaults, according to the on-site Ministry of Magic experts, it was an adult Ukrainian iron belly (see the third edition of "Monsters from the Depths of Gringotts" for more information on this fire dragon), and its sudden appearance caused the Gringotts hall to be almost destroyed. According to incomplete statistics, at least six wizards have been killed in this completely unpredictable disaster (is it really unpredictable?) for more insider information, see the seventh edition of "The Secrets of Gringotts' Underground Depths"), including three Gringotts wizard guards and three wizards who came to conduct business......"

Hermione picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip, then read on:

"-After this unfortunate disaster, the Department of Magical Accident Disasters and the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control immediately sent personnel to the scene to deal with it-"

The huge photo of the event in the newspaper is very eye-catching: a huge dragon head is in the center of the photo, the iron chain around the neck is wrapped seven times, the precious dragon's blood is bleeding all over the ground, and a black leather shoe is stepping on it in the lower right corner of the photo. 23

"The Ukrainian iron belly, which does not know how to escape, has been confirmed dead, and there are still a lot of questions about this incident until the results of further investigation are available. "

"Could this have been done by the mystery man?" Ron glanced at Harry, "I remember you said it when we were in first year......"

"That time it was the Philosopher's Stone. Harry shook his head, "Not this time. "

"Was this dragon killed by someone from the Ministry of Magic?" Ron leaned closer to the newspaper to take a closer look.

"No, it was strangled. Hermione tapped on the newspaper for photos of the event, "See the chain around the dragon's neck? There's a rock behind it, and it's stuck in the depths of the mine, and the dragon keeps climbing up, and it's strangled to death." "

Harry and Ron looked at each other, both of them thinking the answer was a bit funny.

"The dragon will be strangled?"

"If it's a healthy fire dragon, it's probably not, but this ...... Obviously not healthy. Hermione flipped through the pages of the newspaper, "Look at this picture - look at the dragon's neck. "

The dragon in the event photo is motionless, as the chains around its neck have been unchained, revealing a smooth but scarred neck.

"It doesn't have scales!" Harry's glasses weren't for nothing, and he quickly figured out what was wrong.

"But...... How could a dragon not have scales?" Ron asked Harry, who had seen dragons before, and was impressed by the dragons at the Triwizard Tournament.

"Because it never lived like a normal fire dragon—" said Hermione, flipping to the third page of the paper, "it says that this Ukrainian iron belly was bought by the goblins of Gringotts shortly after it hatched, and it has been tethered to the depths of Gringotts ever since, used to protect the wizard's property. "

"But what does that have to do with the fact that it doesn't have scales?" Ron was a proper wizard, but Harry kind of understood.

"Hermione, you mean, this fire dragon grew up in a very bad environment, causing it to stunt?"

Harry felt he had a lot of say in this, having been stunted by eating Dudley's leftovers and living in cramped stairwells as a child, and when he walked into Hogwarts he was a chick compared to his peers.

"Without the protection of dragon scales, the dragon's neck would be much more fragile, and it strangled itself alive. Hermione's sympathy was offended again, and at the same time she began to make up for a while, "This poor fire dragon must have been unable to stand the abuse and chose to run away, but its luck was not good. Maybe we should improve the survival of the fire dragon......"

"We?"

"Wait!"

Harry and Ron had seen such a scene, and they had managed to get out of that awkward situation.

"You're not going to vomit and make a dragon protection society, are you?" said Ron's voice.

"Hermione, that's a fire dragon, there's a difference between it and a house-elf. "Harry is much more tactful than Ron.

"There's a difference? I can't see it. Hermione began to flip through the newspaper again, "See, this fire dragon has never seen the sky since it was born, and it has never flown before, it is chained like a dog, and the purpose is to guard the witches' property!"

"Then why don't you start a dog protection society? I think it's much easier than protecting the dragon. "

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Harry hurriedly interrupted.

"Sirius said that personal coffers are not guarded by dragons, and only those of pure-blood families have that kind of power. Is there any mention of the vault from which the dragon escaped? "

Sure enough, the name "Voldemort" still works. Hermione didn't bother arguing with Ron and began to flip through the newspaper quickly.

"No," Hermione shook her head, "none of the reports mentioned anything about it, just the vague words of escaping from the depths of the vault, and I noticed that there were no elves in the report, not even a report relaying the elves, which was obviously intriguing. "[]

"What does this mean?"

This shows that there is something else going on here. Hermione gave Ron a blank look, after all this time, he still couldn't use his brain.

"The goblins are in charge of Gringotts, and there is no goblin speaking in the whole report, not even paraphrasing, which is quite unreasonable, there must be something 433 that has been covered up. "

This urgent report from the Daily Prophet was sent out before dinner, and now almost all wizards are talking about the "fire dragon escape" that happened in Gringotts this afternoon. The students of Hogwarts, whether they subscribe to the Daily Prophet or not, now know the news. The evening banquet in the auditorium was filled with people, and the students gathered together to read the newspaper, and did not even eat, just to talk about events that had not been encountered in decades.

The repercussions of the Gringotts Fire Dragon Escape were devastating. Gringotts is located in Diagon Alley, and Diagon Alley is in the heart of London......! None of the officials at the Ministry of Magic dared to think further. You must know that some time ago, there was a scene where the Dementors made a big fuss in London, and now the finishing work has not been completed, so if the fire dragon also runs out to join in the fun...... It's another extremely serious magic leak.

What most wizards don't know is that the Ministry of Magic is currently in full swing negotiating with the goblins of Gringotts in order to find out how many dragons there are underground in Gringotts, and what to do with them. This kind of thrilling thing is enough for one time, and no one dares to guarantee that the next dragon will be unlucky enough to strangle itself to death.

As the initiator, Solim was reading a book in the dormitory with a calm face, and the Ministry of Magic was willing to wipe his ass, which was a good thing in Solim's opinion.
