Who robbed Gringotts?

[Groo]

News article in the Daily Prophet

yesterday, in the most daring piece of robbery to have taken place in the history of wizardkind, the Gringotts Bank was robbed of two thousand galleons by wizards/witches unknown.

the robbers could have been anybody visiting Diagon Alley in the past few days. no clues found so far....

the Ministry has asked for the help of detectives to investigate this matter.

anyone interested to investigate this daring robbery?? search for clues, interrogate suspects and catch the culprit??

btw, all those in the vicinity of Gringotts on that fateful day have been asked by the Ministry to visit this thread

[Dumbledores Master]

It wasnt me no sir never me sir course not sir *high pitched voice* eeeee no sir OK just wanted to clarify that it wasnt ME.

[Liquid Ice]

I was just about to say it could be dumbledores master! He has robbed my establishment recently! Hmmmm.... I wouldnt mind helping!

[Dumbledores Master]

exactly it was when I robbed LI that robbery happened so it couldn`t a been me. Sorry for robbing you. Nice ice-cream though

[Groo]

Dumbledore's Master your records are against you. your alibi will be crosschecked but till then

YOU ARE SUSPECT NO 1
* gives DM a piercing look *
Dammit, whats the use? i dont know Legilimency

Liquid Ice , the Ministry would gladly hire you as an auror but you have to prove that you have nothing to do with this matter first. can you submit some proofs to the ministry?

[Dumbledores Master]

No I DIDNAE IF I DID I WOULDNT HAVE COME IN HERE SAYING I HAD ALREADY ROBBED FLOREAN FORTESCUES AND TRIED TO HELP YOU FIND THE CULPRIT!!!!!!!!!

[tiggirl]

I'm definitly willing to help. I'm the manager of Gringott's but I was out of the office at the time of the robbery. I returned only to find my goblins stunned with no recollection of what happened. The ministry has, so far, been unable to offer any assistance in finding the thief, which brings me here.

[Liquid Ice]

*Goes over to tiggirl and gives her a reassuring hug* We're gonna find who robbed gringots, cos you stopped dumblebores master from getting away with all my ice cream! *Flexes muscles*

I am already an auror actually, but I do have an alibi, I was in Florean Fortiscues stopping DM from robbing it, and pinkyprincess andd tiggirl were both there so you can ask them, then after tiggirl left for the ofice I was writing ice cream recipes, pinkyprincess was still there if you want to ask her.

*walks by the interrogators trying to not be seen*

[Groo]

* sees NOBBY trying to slink away *
Hold it there Mister! noone can leave Diagon Alley till the criminals have been found! we have to interrogate you as well
1. where were you at the exact time of the crime?
2. Did you notice anyone suspicious near Gringotts?

LIQUID ICE, The Ministry has assigned you this case! go and strike terror in the hearts of evildoers! why dont you call pinkyprincess in here as well since she might have noticed something. and also interrogate everyone who you find nearby the scene of the crime and search for clues

TIGGIRL , since you are the manager of Gringotts your witness will be of infinite importance. can you just prod the goblins under you for some recollection? also if you find any clue hand it over to the officers in charge. some questions
1. who visited Gringotts that day?

DUMBLEDORE MASTER, i got it! you werent the actual criminal, but you were an accomplice! you robbed Florean Frotescue to cause a diversion so that your friends could go and rob Gringotts
the law will catch up with them soon! you will be kept under surveillance

(* lol *)

[tiggirl]

*smiles gratefully at liquid ice*

Thanks. As far as I know, the only one's, aside from my goblins, who were in the bank was:

Me
pprincess
nobby
moonstone
dumbledors master

Moonstone opened an account and nobby was helping me clean. DM also opened an account although come to think of it, he seemed anxious to get it out of his hands and into a vault . . .

*pauses for a moment, lost in thought* You know, I really should get back to the office and investigate this further, I'll send an owl should I find anything.

Oooh thanks, now I feel important!

Hem hem now dumbledores master, the special investigations squad have reason to believe you were in some way connected with the robbery and are worthy of suspicion anyway because you have a criminal record. SO....Ill be needing a thorough account of your movements on the day of the robbery.

Groo, might we consider using some truth potions if things get out of hand? Just for emergencies you know.....

[Groo]

nice idea! truth potions might come handy

* goes around the crime scene with a magnifying glass *
hey look! a clue!
* picks up a wand lying in a shadowy corner *

now whose wand is this?? hmm..
priori incantem
* a ghost like image of a stunned goblin floats in the sky *
looks like this was a wand of one of the criminals! tiggirl do you remember this wand?
hmm maybe we have to check the wand stores...

Liquid Ice, tiggirl have you found any clues?

[Dumbledores Master]

Firstly that gold was from a transaction in my apothecary (ask female-alien) and the other 500 was my own. What did you think I live without money?

[Liquid Ice]

A stunned goblin! Thats very intresting! Of course its MOST likely to come from gringotts BUT dumbledores master dropped dungbombs in my shop and I summoned a troop of goblins to clear them up! So.... could be....

*Begins to scrutinise the floor for more clues* Aha! *Stoops to pick up something* A vault key!
