A-New-War-On-Horizon? (IV) [Chapter 294]

~~Malfoy Manor~~

Harry heard everything Connie had to tell him and if he was being honest, he wanted to kiss the woman right then and there… He had been looking for an excuse to start a War with Goblins and now he had one. He didn’t even wait to consider that he was already involved in a War. After all, it was no longer a War.

The only reason Voldemort and his merry band of psychopaths were still alive and kicking was because he desired it to be so… If he wanted, he could finish the man at any time. All of his Horcruxes were destroyed except for the Ravenclaw’s Diadem and Harry was already planning to grab the thing before midnight.

At this point, he was basically bullying the man since he wanted to drown Voldemort in despair before finally finishing him off, or doing something even more horrible to him, just like Tonks suggested… Harry decided that he needed to have a chat with Hela and see if they could come up with something really horrible for the man…

“You can’t be serious! If we do this then it is going to be the end of us!” Harry was broken out of his pleasant thoughts by Narcissa. “All of our gold is in Gringotts vaults. If we do this then they are simply going to seize our vaults!” Narcissa snapped really unhappy about the prospect of attacking the Goblins.

Harry gave her a weird look… Was she really worried about something like that? Narcissa noticed the incredulous look and huffed in irritation. “Don’t look at me like that. They have control over your Family accounts. Accounts that you can’t access yet. They are going to seize those too” Narcissa explained.

“Can’t you, I don’t know, empty all of your vaults before shit hits the fan?” Tonks asked, looking frustrated. It was clear that Harry wanted to attack the Goblins, so she was already supporting the idea even without realizing what she was already doing.

Narcissa simply rolled her eyes at young Metamorphmagus… Sometimes, she was jealous of the girl’s naivety. “They would never allow that… That would come up with some asinine reason to prevent me from withdrawing all of our fortunes from their vaults” Narcissa waved her hand dismissively in the air.

It would be like kicking a hornet’s nest and she wanted to avoid such a course of action…

“That’s more of a reason why we need to do this!!” Connie exclaimed, unable to stop herself from snapping at the piebald Witch. Here she was, willing to sacrifice her whole career and probably her life, but the Malfoy matriarch was worried about their riches. Can’t she see the bigger picture?

“Don’t be a fool! You might be comfortable with the idea of losing all of your life savings, but I am not. I refuse to lose everything I have over something like this! So what if the Ministry falls? So what if this country starts crumbling? We could simply rebuild somewhere anew!” Narcissa retorted heatedly. She was getting tired of this.

Yes, the Goblins held too much power over them. Narcissa didn’t like that and she admitted that they needed to be culled before they could rise from their station, but not at the cost of her fortune… There was no way in hell she was going to sacrifice all of her fortune over something so foolishly righteous.

“Why you–!!” Connie began while glaring at the older Witch, but she was cut off by Harry when he raised his hand and used his Magic to silence both Narcissa and Connie.

“That’s enough of you two” Harry said calmly, but there was a dangerous glint in his eyes. Narcissa didn’t need to be told twice and even though Connie was angry, there was nothing she could do in front of him. “Narcissa, I can understand where you are coming from, but I agree with Connie. They hold too much power over us because they have our gold. They need to be dealt with as soon as possible” Harry calmly explained.

“But our vaults-” Narcissa began to speak, but this time, sounding way more subdued.

“Yes, I have my Family vaults too as you pointed out” Harry nodded his head in agreement. “You know how much I love my gold and I would be damned if I let those filthy buggers take what belongs to me” Harry calmly explained. “Do you have the statements of your accounts?” Harry asked.

The Goblins could seize their accounts all they wanted, but he would simply seize them back… The Goblins respected power, right? He would show them overwhelming power…

“Uh… Yes, I do” Narcissa admitted weirdly. “What are you planning to do?” Narissa asked, starting to feel nervous. She was aware of how Harry tended to deal with his problems and since he considered the Goblins to be a problem, he would be planning to crush them with his overwhelming power.

However, the problem was that the Goblins were extremely proud beings… They would refuse to surrender and Harry would simply keep on killing them until they surrendered or all of them were dead. Narcissa didn’t like the Goblins, after all, she considered those creatures to be beneath her station but she didn’t want all of them to die.

Sometimes, Harry could be just as terrifying as Voldemort… Narcissa immediately noticed Harry dangerously narrowing his eyes on her and she immediately decided to abandon her line of thoughts. Narcissa was many things, but being stupid was not one of her traits. She decided that self-preservation was way more important than the survival of the Goblin race.

If they decided to be stupid then their death was not on her…

“I don’t appreciate you comparing me to him, but I guess you are right… I can be sometimes like him” Harry mused as his form relaxed. However, Narcissa was still stiff as a board… She had seen Harry lash out ruthlessly while looking as calm as possible. “No need to be so stiff, Narcissa” Harry said calmly, but Narcissa still refused to relax.

Harry simply shrugged and decided to ignore her… “I am planning to do something the Wixen should have done long ago” Harry admitted with a smile…
