After all, they were breaking into Gringotts, so her most commonly used Levitation Charm definitely couldn't be used anymore.
Using a Levitation Charm again would be too conspicuous and arrogant. What would be the difference between that and directly standing out and saying that Amanda was the one who broke into Gringotts?
With this thought in mind, Amanda gently waved her wand and cast an Explosion Charm.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out. Amanda had chosen the best timing to cast the spell, calculating it so that the Goblins in Gringotts would just be running out, allowing this Explosion Charm to take them all out at once.
At the same time, there was still some distance between them, ensuring the Goblins' safety and preventing her single Explosion Charm from wiping out all the Goblins in Gringotts, which would lead to Goblins becoming an endangered species in the British Wizarding World.
"Let's go."
Amanda turned around and said to the others. Hermione, Harry, and Ron immediately stopped talking to each other, cooperating to constantly counter the Aurors' magic, while also making them suffer continuous casualties. They followed Amanda, fighting as they entered Gringotts.
Before entering Gringotts, Amanda took one last look at the Aurors. The fact that they could last this long against Hermione and the other two meant they had some skill.
She just didn't know how good their eyesight was.
It wasn't until he watched Amanda and the four of them enter Gringotts that the leading Auror on the scene hurriedly reached out and pressed down on his subordinate's wand-holding hand.
He shook his head at him, signaling him not to fight anymore.
"Captain, what's wrong? Why aren't we fighting?"
The Auror known as the Captain looked at the Auror who asked him this question and felt a headache coming on. "You only know how to cast spells, but you don't use your brain, do you?"
He raised his hand and lightly patted the back of his subordinate's head, unable to hold back any longer.
"What do you mean, use my brain?" The Auror, who was inexplicably patted, rubbed his head and looked innocently at the Captain.
Another Auror standing nearby looked helpless, patted the dust off his body, and decided to remind him himself, lest the Captain be angered into fainting by this kid later.
"Did You-Know-Who come today?"
"No." The young Auror shook his head.
"Then did Headmaster Dumbledore come to break into Gringotts?"
"Certainly not." The young Auror immediately denied it. How could Headmaster Dumbledore possibly do such a thing!
"Then that's that," his companion said, looking at him speechlessly. "You think You-Know-Who didn't come, Headmaster Dumbledore didn't come, and who else in the entire British Wizarding World has the ability to paralyze all of Gringotts with a single spell? Can an ordinary Death Eater do it?"
It was no exaggeration to say that if an ordinary Death Eater could possess such strength, then the Aurors truly wouldn't need to fight. The British Wizarding World, no, the entire Wizarding World, would belong to the Death Eaters.
"It's Lin— mmph..."
The Auror Captain covered his mouth and shook his head at him, "Just know it, no need to say it out loud."
"Mmm-hmm." The young Auror nodded to show he understood, and the Auror Captain finally let go.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
The Auror Captain looked at Gringotts, covered in smoke and dust, and raised his wand, waving it at his unconscious colleagues on the ground, making them float up.
"Send our people to St Mungos. What else can we do? That person came to break into Gringotts, and brought three others. You don't need to think to know who they are."
"This posture clearly indicates they're here to do something. We just need to put up a bit of resistance and show the outsiders we tried."
"Are we really going to stay here and cause trouble?" Were they tired of living? What was Amanda's strength, and what was theirs?
Not to mention that Amanda was not at all short of Galleons, so she must have come to do something. Even if Amanda really needed Galleons and robbed Gringotts six times a week.
Given Amanda's strength, they would have to give her a thumbs up while resisting, telling her that she robbed well, robbed wonderfully, and taught the Goblins a lesson for the Wizards of the Wizarding World.
They had vented their anger for the Wizards of the Wizarding World, after all, if it weren't for those Pure-blood families.
Who hadn't been looked down upon by Goblins in Gringotts?
Entering the interior of Gringotts, Amanda's gaze quickly fell on a small door at the very back of the main hall. She led Hermione and the other two towards it.
She raised her hand and cast another Explosion Charm. With the deafening explosion, Gringotts shook violently twice more before the Aurors left.
Amanda led the way into the cart, and the three of them, Hermione, also got in.
As the cart sped downwards, Amanda also took out the list of Pure-blood families' Death Eaters that had not yet been inspected.
At the same time, she nodded slightly to Ron, "Help me check if anything is missing."
Ron nodded, leaned over and looked for a few seconds, then shook his head. "Nothing is missing. You and Hermione have organized it very comprehensively."
"That's good," Amanda nodded in satisfaction. "Next, we'll search vault by vault."
As her voice fell, the cart, carrying the four of them, passed through a waterfall. Amanda looked up at the top of the waterfall.
This waterfall could clearly detect and eliminate Polyjuice Potion. It seemed that Gringotts' methods were quite good against stealthy intruders.
But against intruders like them, who didn't need to be stealthy, Gringotts was clearly overwhelmed, wasn't it?
It wasn't until the cart, after a long journey, stopped deep underground in Gringotts that the four of them, Amanda, jumped out of the car.
Because Voldemort's most core Death Eaters were all from Pure-blood families, their vaults should obviously be in the deepest part of Gringotts.
As they continued forward, Amanda and the others heard deafening roars, which grew louder the further they walked.
After turning a corner, all four of them, including Amanda, couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"I always thought the rumors about Dragons guarding Gringotts were just legends. I didn't expect them to be true."
Ron murmured as he looked at the Dragon in front of him, then showed a look of pity when he saw its scarred scales and blind eyes.
"Hagrid told me before that there were Dragons under Gringotts," Harry said softly, then silently added in his heart.
And he felt that now was not the time to pity this Dragon, because they were, by Merlin, about to pass by this Dragon!
"Some rumors aren't unfounded," Amanda said calmly, as if what stood before her wasn't a Dragon, but merely a slightly larger salamander.
Holding her wand, she stepped forward slowly to stand beside Amanda, "But some rumors, once confirmed, can bring trouble."
"For example, Gringotts," Hermione narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the Dragon in front of her. "Illegally raising Dragons underground in a densely populated area like Diagon Alley, without reporting it to the Ministry of Magic, and abusing the Dragon—any one of these is enough to get these Goblins in a lot of trouble."
"After we get out, I'll make Gringotts pay dearly."
"Mm, good job, Hermione."
Amanda said casually, then turned her head and pecked Hermione's cheek.
Harry and Ron were almost speechless watching this scene. Seriously, you two are truly bold and skilled.
Where were they, and what were they doing? And you two could still be affectionate?
The Dragon's nose across from them was almost nudging their faces!
Of course, Amanda hadn't forgotten where she was or what she was doing. After kissing Hermione's cheek, she turned her head to look at the Dragon.
She extended her left hand in a gesture as if to caress the Dragon, and the next moment, a purple spell erupted with a roar.
With a loud bang, the massive Dragon instantly went limp and fell asleep on the ground.
The two boys present watched this scene in silence, merely swallowing their saliva.
Was that a Stupefy? If that Stupefy were used on a person... that person would be shattered, wouldn't they? They definitely would!
Withdrawing her left hand, Amanda's gaze turned to Harry and Ron. Although she was wearing a mask, she could still sense that these two seemed to be thinking some rather unpleasant thoughts.
Never mind, weren't they always like this? It helped liven the mood.
The subsequent actions were even more straightforward. Amanda led Hermione and the other two to a series of vaults. After confirming the corresponding vault numbers, she fiercely clenched her right hand.
A metallic wail sounded, and half of the series of vault doors in front of the four were directly twisted by Amanda and casually thrown backward.
These already twisted and deformed vault doors tumbled and crashed against the wall with a thud.
"Check them one by one, and remember, absolutely, absolutely do not touch anything inside."
"According to a book written by a human who once worked at Gringotts, items in vaults of this level in Gringotts have a Gemino Curse placed on them."
"Once touched, you will be overwhelmed by endless replicas."
Nodding solemnly, Amanda and the other three began the process of searching vault by vault.
"These Death Eaters are really rich," Ron remarked, looking at the vaults filled with Galleons and various treasures.
"Indeed," Hermione agreed. "After this battle ends and Voldemort is completely dead, the Ministry of Magic must reclaim all the wealth of these Death Eaters. The modernization of various items in the Wizarding World also needs funding."
It couldn't be that all the expenses of the Wizarding World had to be borne by her Amanda alone. Amanda had already paid enough Galleons.
It was time for these Death Eaters, who had caused trouble in the British Wizarding World, to make some compensation. The contents of their vaults would barely count as their reparations.
"I think that's a great idea," Ron echoed.
"I think we should tell them this in front of the Death Eaters,"
Harry even proposed a more ruthless idea, "to see if their minds truly only contain Voldemort and their pure-blood supremacy."
"If they hear this news and aren't angry or moved by it, then it proves that their minds only contain Voldemort and pure-blood supremacy, which means they are foolish."
"If they get angry after hearing this news, then it proves that their minds contain more than just Voldemort and pure-blood supremacy, which means they are not loyal to their own master."
Harry's statement made the other three present involuntarily give him a thumbs up. When it came to being sharp-tongued, he was the best.
This was truly something not everyone could compare to.
Harry merely shrugged in response, saying nothing else. He felt he was just speaking the truth.
Upon finding Bellatrix Lestrange's vault, Amanda smiled and pointed to the very back of the vault.
"Found it. As expected, a Horcrux would be bestowed by Voldemort upon a Death Eater other than Malfoy, and then placed in their vault."
Following the direction of Amanda's finger, Hermione's body trembled when she saw the Golden Cup. She stiffly turned her head to Amanda.
"This, this wouldn't be Lady Hufflepuff's Golden Cup, would it?"
"Uh," Amanda's smile also stiffened for a moment, then she nodded, "Yes, this is Mum's Golden Cup."
"Mum will definitely be angry... Rowena Mum will definitely be even angrier."
Looking at the Golden Cup in the vault, Amanda took a deep breath, then waved her wand and directly threw a self-created fire spell inside.
The flames instantly consumed everything in the vault and finally melted the Golden Cup. Listening to its piercing shriek, Amanda confirmed that the Horcrux was completely destroyed, then lightly waved her wand again to extinguish the flames.
"Good, another Horcrux destroyed," Harry said faintly, looking down at the Molten Gold flowing in the vault.
"Seriously, I've always wanted to say, shouldn't things like Horcruxes be as inconspicuous and hard to find as possible?"
Ron turned to his three companions, "So why didn't Voldemort just make sand into Horcruxes and scatter them in the desert?"
"Because no Dark Wizard capable of making Horcruxes would have your temperament, Ron."
Amanda turned and led the way back in the direction they came, speaking as she walked.
"Every Dark Wizard capable of creating Horcruxes is someone whose mind and personality have been profoundly affected by Dark Arts over the years."
"Arrogance and irritability are inevitable. Few Dark Wizards can truly control Dark Arts and avoid these influences; most are controlled by Dark Arts in reverse."
"Even if such people were to create Horcruxes, how could they willingly let their Horcrux be just an ordinary grain of sand?"
"Even if they knew it would be safer, that it would be more impossible for anyone to discover their Horcruxes, they would absolutely never do it."
"It's like, 'How could such an ordinary object bear my powerful soul?' That kind of thought."
"Ugh..." Ron couldn't help but shiver. "That sounds a bit disgusting."
"Because you're not a Dark Wizard," Amanda shrugged noncommittally, stepping out of the passage first and looking at the massive Dragon before them.
"Now all that's left is to get out." Hermione gently rubbed her wand, looking at the iron chains on the Dragon's feet, eager to try.
"Harry, Ron, you two climb onto the Dragon's back first. Hermione and I will deal with these chains, and then we'll need you to pull us up."
"No problem." Harry and Ron nodded, and before the Dragon woke up, they quickly climbed onto its back.
