Mischievous Glint | George Weasley

Chapter 58

Harry, Griphook and I positioned ourselves under the invisibility cloak while Hermione and Ron walked in their disguise. They both kept walking and were greeted by a lot of people.

Ron and Hermione turned towards the street with Harry, Griphook and I hovering behind, undetected.

Then we approached Gringotts. I could tell Hermione, as Bellatrix was nervous. The bank was in pin drop silent when we got there. Only the sound of Hermione's boots was heard clicking on the floor.

"Ahem." Hermione mimicked a cough but it was too low for the Goblin at the front. "I wish to enter my vault."

"Identification?" The Goblin asked not looking at her.

"I hardly think that would be necessary." Hermione stated and made a serious face staring at the Goblin. He slowly looked at her then realized.

"Madam Lestrange!" He cried and then got up from his seat.

"I don't like to be kept waiting." She added.

He then returned with the head of the bank and assessed her over and over, quizzically.

"Madam Lestrange, would you mind presenting your wand?" He asked.

"And why should I do that?" She asked.

"It's the banks policy. I'm sure you understand given the current climate." He replied politely.

"No! I most certainly do not understand." Hermione shrieked.

"I'm afraid I must insist." The Goblin said.

I undetectably peaked my wand out then shot the 'Imperius' curse on the Goblin's. The spell hit his face and he took a deep breath. His face stretched into a smile and spoke.

"Very well Madam Lestrange. If you will follow me." He offered and walked out.

We boarded the kart that took us deep under the ground and the ride was bumpy with a dazed goblin driving. The air wooshed around us as we turned in and out of little crevices in the massive rocks.

Then we came to a giant spilling waterfall. The kart didn't slow down and Griphook tried to break and we went under it. Some of us broke into screams before hitting the floor. Hermione then casted that allowed us to hover for a moment then drop.

"The thief's downfall, washes away all enchantments. Can be deadly." Griphook informed.

"How can we get out of here?" I yelled asking.

"No way out of here." He replied.

Little did we know that the enchantment was now lifted. He looked at us with a shocked expression.

"What the devil are you all doing down here?" He asked. "Thieves! When you gave up the keys you-"

This time, Ron enchanted the Goblin with the 'Imperius'curse again. He again took a deep breath and relaxed. Suddenly a roar echoed in the background. They were most likely creatchers guarding the place.

We reluctantly moved to investigate, around the corners of the floors of the cave, creeping. We came up to some steps and weak looking dragon, tied up.

"Bloddy hell, that's the Ukrainian Ironbelly."
Ron breathed.

Griphook took out something out of a box next to us. The dragon noticed us and began to come at us. Griphook immediately took action and began to shake the musically thing at the dragon. The noise made it terrified causing it to go back off.

"It's been trained to expect pain when it hears the noise." Griphook explained.

"That's barbaric!" Hermione exclaimed.

Hermione's face filled with sorrow as she looked at the cowering creature. Then we got across the room safely and left the instruments behind. We finally made our way to the vault and used the dazed Goblin's hand to open it. We slipped inside and saw piles of gold and treasure. The door closed behind us, locked.

"Blimey." Ron commented.

"This is nothing. Have you not heard about the Knight fortune? Most of our deepest vaults are filled up with their fortune." Griphook said.

Harry, Ron and Hermione gazed at me. I shrugged since it was no time to show off and wealth didn't really matter.

"It's not like these will be buried beside me in my grave when I die." I said.

"True Miss Knight but your fortune will surely make one rich beyond their dreams." Griphook said.

"Accio Horcrux!" Hermione tried but nothing seemed to happen.

"That sort of Magic won't work in here." Griphook informed.

We then started to scan up the piles. Hermione then knocked something from a shelf. It hit on the floor and duplicated into multiple things.

"That's it. Up there." Harry shouted.

Everything started to keep falling and multiplying once hit the floor. We tried to hurry knocking more things off the shelves.

"They've added the Gemino Curse. Everything you touch will multiply." Griphook said, slightly panicked.

Harry took the sword and threw himself at the pile he thought the Horcrux was on top of with things multiplying. He got closer and closer at the top as the things continued to multiply around him.

"I got it!" He informed, emerging from the pile, still holding the sword.

Griphook clutched the cup tightly which was thrown across.

"Griphook! We had a deal!" I yelled.

"The cup for the sword." He said.

Harry threw the sword at him and he threw the cup which Hermione caught, gripping it tightly.

"I said I would get you in. I didn't say anything about getting you out!" Griphook snarled and left the vault.

We fought our way through the treasure and out of the vault. We got the stairs and Griphook was already fighting his way past the Dragon. The guards had made their way down and started shooting spells at us. We hid behind the pillars and didn't fire back.

"Follow me!" Harry shouted.

We followed him and jumped down the stairs from where we was standing and jumped in the Dragon's back. I cut the chains off using my wand holding the Dragon back. The spells that was being shot at us from behind, kept missing us my millimetres.

The Dragon then began to climb through the top Gringotts towards it's escape. It charged upwards, making the rest of the guards and Goblin's flee at the sight of it. At last, it busted out of the roof and out into the London sky.

We started to soar up North. The atmosphere kept getting colder. The Dragon then began to fly lower and lower over a lake.

"We're dropping." I announced then all four of us jumped, plunging ourselves into the freezing water.
