Return of the Black Rose - Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Dumbledore’s anger After making sure all of his property from Order Headquarters was collected by the elves Dumbledore apparated to Hogwarts. He stalked up to his office where he sat for moment eating a few lemon drops before reading the mail waiting on his desk. Mr. Dumbledore, You owe the Black Estate 27,000 galleons and 5 sickles for the rental of 9 tomes on Wards and two magical tracking devices.

What exactly have the two of you been planning?” Dumbledore replies quietly after realizing that the Goblin was able to hear their conversation, “Not now Arthur not here!
