Wentworth looked at Lockhart, who was standing in front of him with a flattering smile on his face, and said unhappily:
"I hope you can give me a good enough reason to sacrifice sleep, otherwise..."
Before Wentworth finished speaking, Lockhart hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wentworth, saying, "A letter from Auston Greengrass. Everything is ready. Our bank can open at any time!"
After hearing Lockhart's words, Wentworth took the letter from Auston and said in surprise:
"So fast? They are very efficient!"
Lockhart smiled and said:
"With Lucius's collaboration, the British Ministry of Magic gave the green light, and we are the Great Sagaron, so the speed is naturally fast!"
Wentworth read Austin's letter carefully. The letter stated that the bank would also be located in Diagon Alley, and would be taller and larger than Gringotts. Fudge had also agreed to transfer the funds of the British Ministry of Magic from Gringotts to the newly opened Central Bank of the Wizarding World.
At the same time, Lockhart leaned close to Wentworth's ear and whispered: "Young Master..."
But just as Lockhart opened his mouth, Wentworth frowned, looked at Lockhart and said:
"Who told you to call me that?!"
Lockhart licked his cheeks and said, "Auston and the others all call you that. I think I should also..."
But before Lockhart could finish his words, Wentworth interrupted him again and said unhappily: "I don't want your feelings, I want my feelings! Want to join the Witch Party? Prove your worth first!"
Afterwards, Wentworth returned the letter to Lockhart and turned to leave. Lockhart quickly followed Wentworth and asked:
"Auston also asked me to ask you, at the opening ceremony..."
Wentworth waved his hand and said first: "No, I'm a good student at Hogwarts. Studying makes me happy. You guys can handle this kind of trivial matter!"
Hearing Wentworth's words, Lockhart nodded repeatedly. This was exactly what he wanted. After all, if Wentworth really went, would it be his turn to be in the limelight?
But after walking a dozen meters, Wentworth found that Lockhart was still following him. Wentworth couldn't help but stop and said unhappily:
"Anything else?"
Lockhart smiled flatteringly and said:
"Well, my little master, if I really become the president of the central bank of the wizarding world, then Hogwarts..."
Wentworth curled his lips in disdain and said, "Go with peace of mind. Everyone will definitely organize a grand farewell party for you!"
Hearing Wentworth's words, Lockhart immediately said with a bright smile: "Hehe... I don't feel comfortable saying that! Haha..."
And the fact is indeed just as Wentworth said, when the news came that Lockhart was about to leave Hogwarts and go to Diagon Alley to serve as the president of the central bank of the wizarding world, the whole Hogwarts fell into a sea of joy, which showed that everyone had been suffering for a long time.
After expressing his regret, Dumbledore did not even try to persuade Lockhart to stay, but immediately announced that he would hold a farewell dinner for Lockhart.
Shortly after Lockhart left, The Daily Prophet brought news of the opening of the Central Bank of the Wizarding World. In the photo, Lockhart was still showing his iconic smile.
Afterwards, Lockhart gave full play to his packaging and marketing talents, and the Central Bank of the Wizarding World quickly became the hottest topic in the wizarding world.
When the first person applied for a seven-day short-term deposit and received the first interest from the Central Bank of the Wizarding World, the entire conservative wizarding world was instantly in an uproar!
The wizards found that if they put Galleons in the Central Bank of the Magical World, they would not only not charge them money, but also give them money! This made the wizards who were used to paying to keep their property in Gringotts choose to take out the Galleons in Gringotts and deposit them in the Central Bank of the Magical World.
Even so, Gringotts' income was also greatly affected due to the drastic decrease in the number of wizards saving money.
At this moment, in the secret prison cell of Gringotts, the chief goblin elder of Gringotts was telling Raphael, who was imprisoned there, about the changes that had taken place in recent times with an expressionless face.
After listening to the Great Elder's story, Raphael sighed and said, "They...are planning to uproot Gringotts!"
A trace of regret flashed across the face of the goblin elder, but it was gone in a flash, and then he said to Raphael:
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Raphael nodded heavily and said, "Yes! There is only one way!"
Hearing that Raphael actually had a solution, the Goblin Elder was also stunned, and then he quickly opened his mouth to ask.
Raphael looked into the eyes of the goblin elder and said word by word:
"The best way is to join if you can't defeat them! We can also learn from the practices of the Central Bank of the Magic World..."
However, before Raphael could finish his words, the Goblin Elder flatly rejected him: "This is impossible! How can the thousands of years of tradition of Gringotts be broken so easily? In history, there have been people who wanted to challenge Gringotts, but after so many years, they have all disappeared in the long river of history, but Gringotts will live forever!"
Hearing the words of the Great Elder, Raphael sighed and shook his head, saying, "Times have changed, Great Elder. Now..."
However, before Raphael could open his mouth to persuade him, the goblin elder waved his hand and said:
"Stop talking! We are now in Hogsmeade Village and have made some discoveries. Once we find what we want, these won't be a problem!"
After saying that, the Goblin Elder strode away.
At this time, Raphael had a surprised expression on his face. Then, looking at the back of the great elder leaving, Raphael roared:
"Great Elder! You can't do that, Great Elder! You are leading us goblins to our own death, Great Elder!"
However, no matter how much Raphael shouted, only his voice could be heard in the dark world.
At this time, Wentworth, who had finally finished his third semester, was happily packing his things, preparing to take the Hogwarts Express back to London.
At this moment, Dumbledore walked into Wentworth's bedroom and said, "Wentworth, are you done packing?"
When Wentworth saw that it was Dumbledore, he immediately said very respectfully: "Everything has been packed, Headmaster. It won't delay our departure."
Hearing Wentworth's answer, Dumbledore nodded with great satisfaction and continued:
"Remember to bring some thick clothes, it's quite cold there!"
Wentworth: "Don't worry, Headmaster, I'm...wait a minute...Headmaster Dumbledore, I'm going back to London...right?"
Dumbledore widened his eyes, looked at Wentworth and said:
"Didn't I tell you I was taking you to Austria?"
