Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Chapter 314 Good Temper

"So boring..."

On the balcony, Gella was nestled in a wicker hanging chair, drawing out her complaints to Thea in a sticky, whiny tone.

Thea looked up at the sound and saw the other woman's long skirt hanging down, swaying gently with the swing chair.

With a subtle, effortless spell, Thea successfully pulled up the other woman's skirt before saying, "We'll be able to leave in a few days."

"real?!"

Gella suddenly sat up straight, and the skirt she had just pulled up spread out all over the floor again.

Thea: "…………"

Thea frowned slightly, but her tone was gentle, "After all, it's my engagement party, I can't just not participate at all."

Gella didn't pay much attention to the hidden murderous intent in Thea's tone; anyone who had been imprisoned for so long would be angry.

"So what are we going to do?"

Gellar spoke of his inclusion with an air of utter self-righteousness.

You'll find out in a few days.

Thea didn't want to talk about it, and Gella didn't ask any further. She turned around and started thinking about which dress she should wear on which day she went out.

Seeing that Gella had quieted down, Thea put down the book she was holding.

He also began to close his eyes and ponder.

How can I quickly achieve a face that is impervious to swords and spears?

Thea was a little troubled.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Finally, the day to go out arrived. Gella got up early in the morning to dress up and was as excited as a husky being let out for a walk.

So...we...are going to be together?

At the main entrance, Gella pointed at the three people, including herself, with a strange expression.

"Yes."

Thea on the far left ruthlessly stamped this fact.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just a bodyguard on this trip, you two don't need to worry about me!"

Little Barty on the far right didn't seem to care about Gella's odd behavior; he just grinned and seemed to want to raise his hand to show that he didn't mean to bother her.

Hearing Little Barty's words, Gella was disappointed that her and Thea's trip had been disturbed, but she could only force a smile and exchange a few pleasantries with Little Barty.

Just then, Thea spoke up.

"Let's add a few more people; it'll be more lively with more people."

Gella: "???"

For a moment, Gellar thought Draco and the others were still there.

Little Barty was also taken aback by Thea's request, but still turned around and went back to call for help.

Soon, one Death Eater after another emerged.

Looking at the large group of people in front of her, Gella: "..."

We're supposed to be shopping, not causing trouble, right?

Gella looked at her questioningly, but Thea avoided her gaze.

She never said they were going shopping!

Thea: "Full of Justification.JPG"

Gella: "…………"

Gella: "...Having you is truly my blessing!"

Thea: "Hehe..."

When a group of men in black robes stood in unison at the entrance of Gringotts, Gellar no longer wanted to recall the expressions on the faces of those around him.

How to describe it?

It's probably an understatement to say that it's like a mouse seeing a cat.

“Thea…” Gella’s pretty face was tense, her lips barely moving, “Tell me honestly, are we really not here to rob a bank today?”

"no!"

Under the sunlight, Thea's words were firm and powerful, but Gella felt a bad premonition for no reason.

Thea: Can you call it robbery when it comes to things done by intellectuals?

While Gella was in a daze, Thea had already begun skillfully deploying her troops.

"You few, stand guard at the door,"

"You guys go through the back door."

"You, that's right, the rest of you, surround this street!"

"By the way, did you bring any communication fireworks?"

"It's the kind of setup where you open it and someone comes to your aid!"

Gella: "…………"

Gella was speechless at this point; all she felt she needed was a truckload of oxygen cylinders.

After everything was arranged, Thea turned her head to look at Little Barty.

Should we bring him along?

It looks quite intimidating...

But... it still counts...

Before Thea could speak, Little Barty interjected, "How about I wait for you outside?"

"……Can."

Thea was surprised that the other party didn't come along, but then she understood when she thought about the bunch of human surveillance cameras around them.

"Let's go?"

Thea stretched out her hand towards Gai.

Gellar hesitated for a moment, then shook his hand.

Fight!

With the resolve to die in battle, Gellar stepped onto the Gringotts steps.

Gringotts was built in a very grand and imposing manner, and its towering buildings often kept the poor out at first glance.

Thea lifted her skirt and stepped onto the stairs, the sharp tailoring making the fighting spirit behind her seem almost tangible.

As the two walked, a time filled with greed, money, and desire gradually unfolded before them.

"I need to borrow money."

Standing in front of the high counter, Thea's expression remained unchanged. Although it was just four simple words, she managed to convey the force of confiscating property.

The fairy behind the counter: "..."

"Dear Miss Black, how much do you intend to borrow?"

The fairy spoke in a flattering tone, her large, copper-bell-shaped eyes full of calculation. As she spoke, her hands moved swiftly, frantically working on the abacus on the counter.

As the abacus beads clattered together, Thea smiled slightly, "The more the better."

The moment those four words were uttered, it was as if oil had been poured on a hot fire.

In an instant, all the fairies in the hall turned to look at the two of them. After seeing their faces clearly, their fiery gazes almost made Gella feel like she was being roasted alive.

"Miss Black, I can offer you the lowest interest rate when you borrow money from me!!!"

"Miss Black, I can lend you 10 Galleons!!!"

"I can give you 1... no! 3 years interest-free!!!"

“I can…”

“I can give you…”

In that instant, Gellar felt as if she wasn't in Gringotts, but rather that her soul had left her body and landed at a disco.

The fairy's shrill, piercing voice, coupled with her eyes that were almost red with greed, made Gella involuntarily close her eyes in discomfort.

"Peng!"

What interrupted all of this was the chandelier overhead.

The huge crystal chandelier fell unexpectedly with a deafening sound, and the moment it hit the ground, fragments of the chandelier shot out in all directions.

The commotion alerted the Death Eaters outside the door, and within a few breaths, the goblins who had just been hot-blooded were firmly subdued by the men in black robes.

The scene was left in a mess and a tense atmosphere.

In the silence, Thea spoke softly.

"This chandelier isn't very good quality."

Upon hearing this, the fairy gritted her teeth and looked warily at the black-robed man blocking Thea's way.

Damn it, if she weren't... I would definitely make her pay for ten or eight chandeliers!

“You’re not qualified to be in charge.”

Faced with Thea's harsh words, Gella expected the fairies to erupt, but she never expected them to...

"Good good!"

"Miss Blake, please wait a moment. I'll have the supervisor come right away!"

"Call all the supervisors over here, not one less!"

Thea's demanding request was once again met with the fairy's extraordinary humility.

Gella: "…………Dazed and confused (JPG)"

"Are they really that good-tempered?"

Gella couldn't help but ask.

“No,” Thea said with a sarcastic smile.

"If I weren't surnamed Blake, I'd most likely be kicked out before I even finished my second sentence."

"He might also be killed when the chandelier falls, probably for the reason of: attempting to rob Gringotts."

"It's not that they have good tempers, it's just that I can bring them enough benefits in exchange for their services."
