A/N- I didn't realize how much I would have shifted the original storyline by saving Dobby... so this chapter is going to be something different (I think). So if it seems odd that's why.

Diana was outside, sitting on the porch as she read Sleeping Beauty again. She hadn't really given much thought on what was upcoming. She knew that this wasn't going to be easy, she'd known that since the beginning but something inside her changed after the Mikaelson's had come to save her. She had hope, which was odd seeing as the past few months she'd lost every trace of it.

Diana then walked back inside and saw her friends walking down the stairs. "Any luck with the Goblin?" Diana asked, "barely" Ron replied. "I was thinking about the sword and how Bellatrix seemed over the edge about how we had gotten it. She kept asking what else I had stolen from her vault, and seeing as I didn't steal anything I never answered. What if the reason she was so desperate to know what else we stole was because something very valuable is in there, maybe something that could be used against a certain antagonist" Diana said, Hermione grinned and nodded.

"You think there's a Horcrux in her vault?" Ron asked. "It makes sense that there would be. We need to go and find out for ourselves" Harry said, as he turned to Hermione for her opinion, "when has Diana ever been wrong? This is definitely on the right track. I say we go for it" she said.

"Okay, yes, we've located another Horcrux, but how are we supposed to destroy it?" Ron asked, turning to Harry. "I haven't figured that part out yet" Harry responded, he then changed the subject momentarily, "I'm going to go ask Ollivander some questions" he said, Ron and Hermione following him back up the stairs.

"Bonjour, Diana Bennett. Cela fait longtemps que je ne t'ai pas vu. J'aurais aimé que tu sois au mariage, eh bien, avant qu'il ne soit attaqué" Fleur said as she walked up to Diana. Fleur remembered Diana from the Triwizard tournament, and quite frankly she preferred Diana over Ginny or Hermione seeing as those two were never the nicest with her.

"J'aurais adoré venir mais je n'ai jamais eu d'invitation... mais ça fait plaisir de te revoir Fleur" Diana replied, Fleur looked somewhat confused, "did I say something incorrectly? I haven't spoken French in a while" Diana said.

"No, no, it's not that. Your French is perfect. It's just, I remember writing you an invitation to the wedding. Yours was actually one of the first ones I wrote" Fleur told Diana, who seemed to be surprised at this information.

A moment of silence passed before Fleur got up and walked away, leaving Diana in her thoughts once again. "I suppose I'll have to kill him before he finds me" Diana heard Harry say as he walked out of the room Ollivander had been in.

Diana held up a single piece of hair. "You're sure that's her's?" Hermione asked, "positive" Diana responded. "Now the question is, who's turning into Bellatrix?" Ron asked, looking at the two girls, who exchanged glances.

"Seeing as Diana got tortured because of me, I'll do it" Hermione said. "Are you sure you're going to be able to play a villain?" Harry asked Hermione, who shot him a glare. "Don't doubt me" Hermione said.

With that Hermione drank the Polyjuice potion that she had brewed, and waited for it to take effect. Once it did she looked identical to Bellatrix Lestrange, which made Ron feel uneasy. "Well? How do I look?" Hermione asked her friends.

"Like a sociopath" Harry said while Ron said "hideous". Diana rolled her eyes and then turned to the Goblin, "you can give that to Hermione to hold, alright Griphook?" Diana said, to which the Goblin glared at her as he handed Hermione the sword, which she put in her never ending bag.
