aug 22, 2028 - Goblin Riots as Cirque de Sorcieres perform.
Description:
Le Cirque de Sorcières performs in Diagon Alley. Following reports of Goblins removing money from the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, a riot breaks out. Aurors from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement are noted to have attempted to protect the Goblins from rioters, unaware of the Goblins' illegal possession of wands. By the end of the riot, it becomes clear that the Goblins of Gringotts have emptied the bank of all currency, immediately provoking a financial crisis. Minister for Magic Alyssa Merriweather announces her resignation the same evening.Added to timeline:
