Seeing Andy retract his wand, Hermione hurriedly asked, "Andy, where is the last Horcrux?"
"The Gringotts."
Andy raised an eyebrow and said, "The last Horcrux is Hufflepuff's Golden Cup...it was hidden in the vault of Gringotts by Bellatrix Lestrange."
"Er...who is she?" Hermione frowned.
With Voldemort's comeback, the list of Death Eaters was no longer classified information.
In theory, the Death Eaters who could get to hold the Horcruxes should all be the elite of the Death Eater faction, the craziest Death Eaters who were absolutely loyal to Voldemort.
But Hermione had never heard of this name before.
"Hmm..."
Andy pondered for a moment and said with a troubled expression, "I killed that one."
Hermione: "..."
"Hiss—Ahhh!"
Harry covered his forehead and screamed in agony.
He felt as if his forehead had been torn apart, and the immense pain made him wish he could faint immediately.
But Harry knew that he had to stay conscious.
"Andy... in the Gringotts... is a golden cup..." Harry said between gasps, struggling to endure the pain.
"I already know," Andy said calmly.
"What now?" Hermione asked.
"You stay here and look after Harry…"
Andy answered without missing a beat, "I can't delay any longer; I'll go first."
After saying this, to prevent a melodramatic scene like 'I'm going too' from happening, Andy directly used Apparition to disappear from the spot.
***
The Gringotts Bank is a white building located at the junction of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.
It is run by a group of goblins, who have built vaults underground that only they can open and take contents from.
Due to the goblins' rebellions and the trust issues within the wizarding community, many wizards are willing to store their gold and silver treasures in the Goblin's Vault.
To be honest, when Andy first saw this scene in the film, he always felt that J.K. Rowling was hinting at something.
After all...the only bank in the wizarding world is run by goblins, and no matter how you look at it, this just doesn't make sense.
But it happened.
If you say it's not ironic, Andy won't believe it.
But no matter what the truth is, Andy's only goal today is to break in!
Dressed in a black cloak and wearing a Death Eater mask, Andy's figure appeared out of thin air at the entrance to Gringotts.
Thanks to his rapid growth over the past two years, Andy no longer needed to use Polyjuice Potion to change his appearance when disguised as a Death Eater.
Moreover, Andy felt that everyone would be able to guess his identity once he showed off his true power.
After all, there were only a handful of wizards in the wizarding world who possessed enough power to break into the Gringotts Bank. A simple elimination process would easily lead to the correct answer.
As for the issue of his identity being discovered...
To be honest, Andy didn't care.
With the display of the powerful force just once, everyone can live in peace.
After today, the goblins will definitely blame the attack on the Death Eaters; they will actively help Andy cover up his identity.
Because Voldemort will die.
And Andy will live!
As long as they don't want to antagonise Andy, they will never reveal the truth. Because, since Andy could break in here once, he can break in a second and third time.
Even if Andy were to appear without a mask, the goblin would claim that someone had used Polyjuice Potion to impersonate Andy.
Of course, this requires a precondition.
That is – Andy must break into the Gringotts Bank with overwhelming power!
Walking into the Gringotts Bank, Andy looked around.
The goblins still worked hard, as if they were unaffected by the situation in the wizarding world, still sitting there recording every flow of assets.
The goblin sitting in the middle looked up from his busy work, and after a moment of confusion, he frowned and said, "Death Eater, you've come to the wrong place; this is..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a cold chill swept through the entire Gringotts Hall.
The floor, walls, windows, tables, chairs, and ceiling... everything was covered in a layer of white frost. Of course, that included the hard-working goblins.
Andy walked slowly towards the goblin who had spoken before, acting as if he were in no hurry.
"Imperio." Andy recited the incantation.
As the white frost disintegrated, the goblin shivered and looked at Andy with a dazed expression in his eyes.
Andy ordered, "Take me to Bellatrix Lestrange's vault."
It took about five seconds for the goblin to speak. "I need the key to the vault."
Andy raised an eyebrow.
Was his thought still frozen?
As for the key to the vault...
Andy asked, "Can't you open the vault without the key?"
When withdrawing money from the Gringotts Bank, all you need to do is take out the key. However, for vaults with a higher security level, an authorised goblin must touch the door.
Andy had done some research into this.
Once an outsider touches the door of the vault, no matter who that person is, they will be sucked in and become trapped inside.
Not only that, inside the vault, the summoning charm cannot be used, and the items inside have been enchanted with Flagrante and Gemino Curses.
If a thief lays hands on any of the valuables without authorisation, their hands will be burned, and the valuables will be duplicated. These duplicates are worthless, and if the thief continues to touch the valuables, they will be crushed and scorched to death by the duplicates.
Relatively speaking, the security measures at the Gringotts Bank are quite satisfactory.
"Of course not!"
The goblin said matter-of-factly, "No one can steal any valuables from Gringotts."
Andy frowned slightly.
For the time being, the only way to get the key was to wait for the Death Eaters to come.
They certainly would have the key to the vault in their possession.
If he could just get the key, he could easily open the vault door and destroy the Horcrux inside.
But there was a problem.
Once the Death Eaters saw that Andy couldn't open the vault door, they would flee with the key.
It would obviously be easier for them to protect the key and leave than to fight Andy for the Horcrux.
So...
There's only one other way.
The Fiendfyre Curse!
There's nothing in this world that the Fiendfyre Curse can't reduce to ashes. And if there is, just cast another Fiendfyre Curse.
"Take me to her vault," Andy commanded.
Under the control of the Imperius Curse, the goblin respectfully led Andy to the underground vault.
But as an employee of the Gringotts Bank, he still proudly reminded Andy, "Gringotts has the world's most powerful security measures. Without the key, the vault door can never be opened."
"You must not have tried the Fiendfyre Curse...right?" Andy laughed.
Goblin: "..."
Who would use the Fiendfyre Curse to destroy the vault door!
Aren't you afraid that the treasures inside will also be incinerated?
