-Grim Jaw POV-
Account manager Grim Jaw was in his office, analyzing the return investments of the bank's largest customers the Black and Mustang accounts.
The economy of Magical Britain was in a state of recession. The brainless Death Eaters had not realized just how killing all muggleborns could affect their businesses.
The muggleborn made up 80% of their population, while purebloods only made up 5%. It showed how their inbreeding affected their minds, as most of them had invested in the domestic market and they were seeing a rapid decline in financial returns.
He hoped that the foolish wizards of the Ministry of Magic would get rid of the Dark Lord as soon as possible. That business would return to normal. But at last it did not.
Of course, the black market was flourishing, but that could be put to an end only through the Ministry. There was nothing Gringotts could do about that
The goblins had taken a stand of neutrality, to not get involved. After all, this was a wizard's war. They had no stake in who won, but that didn't mean they wouldn't like to get rid of the Dark Lord and let business go back to normal. If things went too far.
Some of their more reasonable customers had listened to their sound advice and had invested abroad. Magical Britain was closed to the rest of the world. Everyone knew that the Ministry was compromised by the dark lord's followers.
Because of them having Dumbledore, Magical Britain felt superior and utterly destroyed all diplomatic relations with every single magical country in the world.
The I.C.W. Knowing that the war could spill over. Had sealed off Magical Britain by increasing the numbers of their Auror force, and magical law enforcement personnel on patrol.
They had also strengthened the magical sensor net around their borders. Their forces capture every magical leaving both magical and muggle transport. Questioning them, if the I.C.W. agents discovered they were Death Eaters or allies of theirs, they were executed.
The I.C.W. are waiting for Magical Britain to royally Fuck up. Breaking the statute of secrecy, to step in and wipe every purebloods and half-bloods to start over with the muggleborn.
They all had had enough of the British and their Ministry's arrogance, it also didn't help that they kept producing dark lords. The latest two dark Lords were Voldemort and Grindelwald.
The only reason Gringotts still stood was because goblins regulated the economy internationally. The stupid wizards wrote in their history that the goblins lost the war.
Does giving the race you fought, one of the most bloody wars, control over your financial system too, sound like they lost the war?
The goblins have always been warriors, we just switched our swords for quills becoming outstanding bankers and our wards are such that theft is near impossible.
It wasn't their fault if the dumb wizards never read what is put in front of them. Arrogance or stupidity? He's not one to decide for them if they get cheated out of their money.
The Dark Lord knew he couldn't antagonize the goblins without risking a complete economic shutdown. Therefore, he had left Gringotts alone.
That still didn't mean that Voldemort hadn't tried to take over the bank. Several wizards were operating as security at the entrance and in the marble hall to ensure that their targets couldn't get in.
Crack!
Grim Jaw broke his quill in response to the killing heading his way. Picking up his battle axe with surprising speed for someone his old age, he prepared with a smile hopping for a good death in battle.
He took an offensive position, only to be surprised when the door opened revealing that it was Roy Mustang.
Grim Jaw was about to drop his guard, but as Roy stepped in. His instincts were telling him no matter how hard he fought, he was going to die.
Gulping, Grim Jaw knew he had to do, the one thing every goblin hated to do. To discuss terms in reaching an agreement or a compromise. Just saying those words felt like acid was flowing through his veins.
"Welcome, Mr. Mustang, you don't need to prove your identity before we begin our meeting."
Grim Jaw said sweating from Roy's killing pressure.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Mustang?"
"I don't want to waste your time, so I'll come directly to the point. Why is my castle not finished yet!"
Roy said gritting his teeth in rage.
"I had it commissioned for my family, who were murdered by Death Eaters not a few hours ago!"
"So tell me! WHO! FUCKED! UP!"
As he shouted, Roy's magic kept spilling from him, making him appear like an XXXXX creature.
Grim Jaw's mind ran like a supercomputer, processing the castle contract and figuring out why it wasn't done weeks ago.
'God damm Death Eaters!'
'What the Fuck, were the idiots in charge of construction doing?'
'Reading through the report of the construction sector, it was all damming. If anyone bothered to read the records, they would discover how they were slowing progress on the castle construction, stealing time and money.'
Grim Jaw had to force down a groan. This was pretty much a nightmare for Gringotts and could cause other customers to move their money to another bank, especially the Blacks and Mustang.
He finally found the fools responsible for the theft, Gringotts couldn't leave imbeciles like them in charge and risk another incident. They needed someone actually competent to take their place.
Gringotts is a strong institution, but the bank was not stupid enough to cause mistrust among its customers. All they needed to do was deal with the ones responsible, dealing with the real threat.
Ten minutes later the three responsible for the delay were brought in chains. Two goblins and one of their wizard curse breaker, we're delaying the work to overcharge Roy for more of their work.
"What will Gringotts do with them, Grim Jaw? And is losing them isn't going to hurt your business?"
Roy asked wondering whether they would get their comeuppance.
"Not even slightly, they weren't good employees anyway, getting caught stealing in Gringotts never ends well in the long run. We have enough clients even without them."
"The three of them will be put to work in our mines, for 50 years, to pay for their discretion. Don't worry Mr. Mustang, no one ever escapes our mines."
Grim Jaw said, with his toothy grin
"Not good enough, Grim Jaw!"
Roy answered in a rage, snapping his fingers. Igniting the three in a flash fire, with very few screams, the fire engulfed them.
All the tissue of their body had been burned to cinders. When they touched the body to inspect them, they turned into flying ashes directly.
Grim Jaw and the other goblins present finally understood the impending danger, that Roy was giving off.
But still, he couldn't let his actions, be let off scott-free. Roy had just stolen the chance of Gringotts instilling the punishment on the three criminals.
Before they can tell him anything. Roy dropped three 5-ounce gold bars, changing the mood of all the goblins.
They came to an agreement to finish the castle construction in two days. Having their strongest wards and their nastiest offensive wards installed for no extra charge.
Roy also commissioned a small fortune to Gringotts to permanently expand the inside of the island to the size of Australia.
Similar to the expansion charm of Diagon Alley. And had the island heavily warded with only two entrances.
The first is a kill zone in an underground tunnel near his castle. The second entrance was at the coast miles from the castle.
Roy left Gringotts, with the goblins having a new respect for him. As he stepped outside he received a system alert.
