Chapter 537 The Legend Falls
·
Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
This was Glenn's plan - to cover up the source of the theft from Gringotts.
After the Forgetting Curse was cast one by one, he returned to Bellatrix's appearance again, watching the goblins stand up with confused eyes.
"I'm really sorry, Mrs. Lestrange," the goblin supervisor immediately put on a respectful expression, "There is a small problem with the anti-thief waterfall. We mistakenly thought that someone broke into the vault and caused you inconvenience. We are extremely sorry. beg to be excused."
"No need to say this," Glenn said coldly, "Don't worry, I don't have that much free time to argue with your Gringotts senior officials. The premise is that you don't waste any more time and send me out quickly."
"Yes, yes!" The supervisor nodded repeatedly and greeted quickly, "Bode, send Mrs. Lestrange away quickly!"
The young goblin's eyes were slightly dazed, but he subconsciously didn't ask any more questions. He honestly took out the jingle piece and walked towards the place where the rail car stopped.
The way back would not pass through the Thief-proof Falls, so naturally there would be no further disturbances. Glenn returned to the magnificent Gringotts Hall smoothly and left safely with the Horcrux Golden Cup in his pocket.
It was Glenn's only experience in so many years that he was able to steal something from Gringotts and then have it given away respectfully by the goblins.
He opened the map vigilantly and confirmed that there were no hostile forces with red names within a few hundred meters, and then walked out of the door with confidence.
At this time, nearly half an hour had passed since the Death Eaters left. Glenn needed to return to Hogwarts as soon as possible. If nothing else happened, the Death Eater army would have already assembled by this time.
But before that, he had another thing to do - completely destroy Hufflepuff's Gold Cup.
In order to prevent the Horcrux from attracting the attention of the residents of Diagon Alley, he thought of a perfect place to go.
Walking along the outer wall of Gringotts and walking a short distance towards Knockturn Alley, you will see a dark red brick wall in front of you.
Glenn looked up and down, and his eyes fell on a stone brick that was obviously more worn.He lightly kicked the brick, and soon there was a "click-click-click" sound of the bricks rubbing against the wall.
Soon, a low arched doorway appeared in front of him.
This is the place where Glenn first caught Mundungs a few years ago. It was also a favorite place for thieves back then. However, with the rise of Carmichael's second-hand store, this small corner has long been abandoned. for a long time.
Such a small place that almost no one cares about is perfect for processing Horcruxes.
Glenn found a dusty stone table and didn't bother to clean it. He took the gold cup out of his pocket and placed it on the table.
The soul fragments inside seemed to feel a strong sense of danger. Even if they were not opened, they still trembled slightly.
"Hiss...hiss..."
Glenn took out the basilisk fangs and spoke softly using his Parselmouth ability.
A faint red light flashed, the gold cup shook gently, the gem eyes on the badger-shaped relief blinked like a creature, and a cloud of dark gray smoke drifted out from it.
Just like the crown and the locket, even under such circumstances, it still maintains a strong survival instinct.
Of course, Glenn, who was in a hurry, didn't bother to see what kind of pie it could draw. He didn't wait for the gray mist to condense into a solid form, and immediately raised his fangs without hesitation and stabbed downwards with all his strength.
"No!!!"
Just like when every Horcrux was destroyed, a piercing scream erupted from the golden cup, stinging Glenn's eardrums, but this could not cause any substantial damage, nor could it prevent the fact of being destroyed.
The gray mist that had not had time to change in mid-air exploded into sparks all over the sky with a bang. As the breeze blew by, it slowly extinguished. The golden cup also lost the ancient magic that kept it as clean as new, and the gem eyes dimmed instantly. , only an ugly, charred wound was left, and a black liquid as thick as blood slowly dripped out.
Regardless of admiring the masterpiece, Glenn picked up the broken gold cup and threw it into his pocket. He then took out Fox's feathers and squeezed them in his hand.
There was a clear cry, the fire flickered, and the dazzling golden red phoenix
Floating away.
"We should go back, Fox." Glenn placed his hand on the phoenix's feathers and said softly.
After a while, Glenn opened the door to the Room of Requirement and quietly came to the corridor.It was clearly curfew time, but Hogwarts was unexpectedly brightly lit, and bursts of hurried footsteps could be heard from the distant stairs.
If nothing else, so far, the plan is going quite smoothly.
Following the noisy voices, Glenn went down the spiral staircase and soon arrived at the auditorium.Many students have gathered here, most of them with blank faces, sitting at long tables in their respective colleges discussing quietly, and a few of them were only wearing pajamas.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Glenn quickly came to Qiu's side, pulled up a stool and sat down.Even though she knew the plan in advance, she seemed as disoriented as everyone else at Slughorn's dinner.
"Something happened!" Eddie said with obvious panic on his face, "Where did you go?"
"What's wrong?" Glenn pretended not to know, "I thought the party was too boring, so I just wandered around in the corridor."
He was efficient enough. From the time he left the Slug Club dinner to the time he destroyed the gold cup and returned to Hogwarts, it only took more than half an hour, so even with all calculations, this reason barely made sense.
"I'm afraid we're in trouble..." Eddie looked at Slughorn, who was running back and forth with a pale face, and lowered his voice and said, "Something happened to Dumbledore!"
"What? How is this possible?" Glenn looked in disbelief and exclaimed under his breath.
"Really..." Eddie squeezed his hand hard, unable to hide his fear, "A lot of people saw it, just from Slughorn's window... We watched helplessly as he fell from the tower above. Go down..."
"This is impossible..." Glenn muttered to himself as if he was absent-minded as he continued to act.
Not long after, several deans walked into the auditorium side by side with heavy steps. Of course, Professor Snape was not among them.
Looking along the long Slytherin table, Draco was not among them either.
Professor McGonagall walked up to the podium under the gaze of all the young wizards, and came to stand next to the owl candlestick that Dumbledore used to use to speak.She pursed her lips tightly at the moment, and her bun, which was always meticulously combed in the past, looked loose and messy.
There was obvious hesitation in her eyes, and she even looked a little at a loss like the students. It was obvious that what happened tonight was not what she expected.
"Please be quiet..." She said with some difficulty, "We have a very important news to tell you..."
After the Forgetting Curse was cast one by one, he returned to Bellatrix's appearance again, watching the goblins stand up with confused eyes.
"I'm really sorry, Mrs. Lestrange," the goblin supervisor immediately put on a respectful expression, "There is a small problem with the anti-thief waterfall. We mistakenly thought that someone broke into the vault and caused you inconvenience. We are extremely sorry. beg to be excused."
