Although Narcissa nodded, she still said with a worried look on her face:
"That being said, the Crouch family is no less powerful than our Malfoy family. However, the witch party still knows such a huge secret of the Crouch family clearly. Just thinking about it makes people shudder."
Hearing his wife's words, Lucius was silent for a while. Then, Lucius gently held Narcissa's hands and said slowly:
"Don't think too much, dear. Now that things have come to this, we can only move forward firmly. Even if not for ourselves, then for Draco! Besides, if you can't beat them, then join them. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Hearing Lucius' words, Narcissa sighed and said slowly, "I hope that this time, we are on the right side!"
In the following days, the entire British wizarding world was in turmoil, with all kinds of news flying around, making it difficult to keep up.
On the day after the Gringotts incident, all the newspapers published the news that the Wizarding Party had attacked Gringotts, reminding wizards all over Britain of the battle at the British Ministry of Magic in London two years ago. The Wizarding Party was still the same Wizarding Party.
But compared to the last battle at the British Ministry of Magic, this time, there were two people whose names were hailed as heroes by all newspapers, including the Daily Prophet.
The first one is naturally Harold, who has already become famous. It can be said that with the help of this Gringotts incident, Harold's reputation among civilian wizards has reached a peak. Perhaps his popularity is even higher than that of the current British Minister of Magic Fudge.
The other one is Thomas Revel, the director of the Floo Network Office of the British Ministry of Magic! With the support of the British Ministry of Magic, Thomas Revel's name frequently appeared on the front pages of major newspapers.
Another even more shocking news was that Harold publicly questioned the security of Gringotts in Diagon Alley, outside the door of Gringotts, and announced that he would establish the Central Bank of the Wizarding World.
A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Harold's words shocked many wizards. After all, for many wizard families, storing their family's Galleons in Gringotts has been a habit for several worlds.
Now it is really difficult for them to change this habit.
However, Harold's blueprint for the future of the central bank of the wizarding world is truly fascinating.
Apart from anything else, as long as you deposit Galleons in the new central bank of the wizarding world, not only will there be no fees, but you will also get interest. This has attracted the attention of many ordinary wizarding families.
Just when the British wizarding world was buzzing with discussions, a breaking news was first reported by the Daily Prophet: the Ministry of Magic intended to halt the establishment of Harold's new bank in order to prevent the peace between wizards and goblins from being broken.
When this news came out, it immediately aroused opposition from wizards.
Such is human nature. Many wizards who were originally on the sidelines reacted most violently after hearing the news.
Although these wizards have not yet made up their minds whether to deposit their Galleons in the new bank, after all, although the interest promised by Harold is very attractive, many people still have doubts.
At this moment, in the British Ministry of Magic, Fudge covered his forehead, looking at the people in the Ministry of Magic who were in chaos below, and he couldn't help but feel for the first time that people's morale was scattered and the team was difficult to lead.
Arthur Weasley, the head of the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic, was standing at his seat, expressing passionately that the new bank established according to Harold's idea could solve the problem of poverty among wizards to a great extent.
Arthur himself was also very emotional, almost crying, when he said: "Everyone, you all know the situation in my family! I have seven children, seven children!"
"If Mr. Harlot's bank can really be established and run as he envisioned, I can keep a portion of my salary every month and deposit it in the bank to earn interest. In this way, I won't have to worry about not being able to buy textbooks for my children before school starts!"
"Besides, if all else fails, I can temporarily borrow some Galleons from the bank. At least I want to be able to buy all the textbooks for the children! Later, I can use my monthly salary to repay the loan!"
"I can't imagine why you would object to such a good bank? Do you really want me to borrow money from you every year when the Hogwarts school starts?!"
After hearing what Arthur Weasley said, many wizards present tried hard not to laugh out loud, but they had to admit that Arthur's words were very convincing. After all, the entire British Ministry of Magic knew about the situation in Arthur's family.
At this moment, even Fudge couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Arthur Weasley nodded around to express his gratitude and was very satisfied with his performance.
Arthur felt that his speech was entirely from the perspective of those poor wizarding families and was absolutely free of personal opinions!
As for his son, Bill Weasley resigned from Gringotts for safety reasons and left. He immediately received an invitation from Haroldt to become the head of curse breakers at the Central Bank of the Wizarding World. This had nothing to do with his remarks!
Just when Arthur was very satisfied with his speech, he saw his immediate superior, Barty Crouch, the current Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the British Ministry of Magic, slowly stood up.
Barty Crouch glanced at Arthur, then said calmly: "Arthur, I am actually very envious of your family. Although you may be a little poor sometimes, at least you are a happy family reunited together!"
At this point, Barty Crouch turned to look at Fudge, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, but he still said, "Minister Fudge, I believe you understand what Gringotts means to the goblins. If we really allow Harold to open a new bank and openly confront the goblins, it is very likely to trigger a new goblin rebellion!"
"We are already facing the threat of the Witch Party. If we go to war with the goblins again, I'm afraid that many Aurors in our British Ministry of Magic will never have the chance to go home for dinner! Their parents, their wives, and their children will never see them again!"
“So, I am against the establishment of a new bank!”
