Chapter 43 - I Didn't Even Know I Was Going to Act, So Who Else Could Have Known?

When Charle thought of this condition, the first thing that came to mind was the Millennial Basilisk in the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets.

An ancient magical creature that had lived for a thousand years. While it was uncertain if there was any knowledge passed down similar to Dragon or Mermish languages, the Basilisk's Death Gaze itself held immense value for deduction.

It would likely serve as material for deducing the Killing Curse, saving a significant amount of points needed for the deduction.

If he continued deducing this way, Charle might even be able to deduce an Area of Effect Killing Curse!

However, the Basilisk would have to wait until he entered Hogwarts before he could make any plans. He couldn't get it right now.

Moreover, besides the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, Charle didn't really have any good methods against such large magical creatures at the moment.

The power of Basic Transfiguration was indeed insufficient against a Basilisk.

Considering the magic resistance of the Basilisk Scales and skin, the Laser Spell might not be able to kill it quickly either.

Once the battle dragged on, the risk would be very high. The Basilisk's venom and gaze were too deadly.

Furthermore, if the commotion was too big, it might attract Dumbledore's attention.

Charle didn't want to take such risks, so obtaining Basilisk Blood would require careful planning.

But besides Basilisk Blood, there seems to be another option, one that's even more suitable than the Basilisk...

And the opportunity to obtain it is coming soon.

In Charle's mind, the dragon guarding the vault beneath Gringotts in the original story appeared.

It was a Ukrainian Ironbelly. From the description in the original story, its size was enormous, and even its scales showed signs of aging, indicating its extreme age.

If he obtained its blood, after Animagus transformation, he would likely gain the Dragon language inheritance within its bloodline!

A strange glint flashed in Charle's eyes.

He had already been eyeing Gringotts, planning to take advantage of Quirrell and Voldemort's intrusion into Gringotts to make a fortune.

But after the huge gains in Knockturn Alley, this idea had somewhat faded.

Now, however, it seemed he had to go to Gringotts.

The dragon blood from this dragon was too tempting for Charle.

However, in the original story, Quirrell and Voldemort seemed to have entered Gringotts through means like the Imperius Curse, without causing too much commotion. It's highly likely they didn't fight that dragon.

If that's the case, getting dragon blood might be a bit troublesome.

Dragon skin and scales could weaken spells. Charle's methods were very effective against ordinary wizards, but besides the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, he wasn't confident he could definitely break the fire dragon's defense.

After all, he was only eleven years old, and his magic power was always a weakness.

But precisely because of this, the allure of Magical Animagus was even greater for Charle.

The magic power of magical creatures was much stronger than that of young wizards.

In terms of absolute destructive power, Charle's wizard form, unless he used the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, really couldn't compare to his Magical Animagus state.

This made Charle even more determined to obtain the fire dragon blood beneath Gringotts. This would be his biggest trump card!

After a moment of thought, Charle murmured softly.

It seems this time, I really can't let Quirrell and Voldemort break in too easily.

I need to make a bigger commotion and use Voldemort's hand to get the dragon blood.

As for how to do it, Charle already had an idea.

The next moment, he used his Full Animagus transformation.

But this time, instead of transforming into an animal, he changed his appearance and build, just like Tonks' Metamorphmagus ability, directly becoming another person.

It was a thin figure, with a pale complexion and a somewhat timid expression. The most noticeable feature was the large turban wrapped around his head.

That's right, Charle had transformed into Quirrell!

To make it even more realistic, Charle even transformed the face of Voldemort on the back of Quirrell's head!

After doing all this, a smile played on Charle's lips.

He slowly walked through Diagon Alley in the dead of night, arriving outside the closed gates of Gringotts.

With a wave of his wand, a letter turned into a paper airplane and flew towards Gringotts.

Then, without any delay, Charle Apparated away.

The loud crack of Apparition disturbed the nighttime silence of Gringotts. The goblins who were still counting money rushed out, full of vigilance.

The leading goblin saw the paper airplane on the ground. After opening it, he saw the writing inside.

"I have heard that Gringotts holds countless treasures and yearn for them. The moon is exceptionally bright tonight, and I shall come under its light to enter Gringotts and take its treasures."

"—The Holy Thief of the Wizarding World."

Upon seeing this letter, the goblins of Gringotts showed expressions of anger.

"A thief, a despicable, arrogant thief!"

"He actually openly challenged our Gringotts, saying he would break in and steal?!"

The leading goblin looked at the guards responsible for guarding Gringotts.

"Did you see who left this letter?"

The sentry quickly replied.

"It was too dark, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could tell he was wearing a large hood."

As soon as he said this, the leading goblins said coldly.

"Raise the security measures for the underground vaults to the highest level during this period."

"Also, everyone pay attention. If you see someone wearing a large hood coming to Gringotts, it's very likely a thief scouting the place."

A fierce look appeared in their eyes.

"At that time, we'll pretend not to know, lure him into the underground vault, and then kill him."

"Provoking Gringotts? He must pay with his life!"

...

Meanwhile, in a room, Quirrell's eyes widened at an order from Voldemort.

"Master, we're going to break into Gringotts tomorrow?"

"Isn't that too hasty?"

Voldemort said coldly.

"Are you questioning my decision?"

"Let me tell you, I've had enough of this life. That damned Dumbledore, I need to regain my physical body as soon as possible and show him a thing or two!"

Then, considering that only Quirrell was available at the moment, Voldemort still explained to him.

"Of course, it is a bit hasty, but you must know that if even you can't imagine I'll break into Gringotts tomorrow, then how could anyone else know?"

"Great successes are often achieved under haste."

"The goblins of Gringotts will definitely not be prepared at all tomorrow!"

Quirrell thought about it and quickly praised Voldemort's wisdom.

"As expected of the Master, truly far-sighted. We will definitely succeed in one fell swoop with tomorrow's operation!"

"Once the Philosopher's Stone is in hand and the Master regains his physical body, what is Dumbledore?"

"And that hateful little wizard, Charle, will also crawl at the Master's feet!"
