039- The Dragon

After we heard the roar we all decided to check it out. It wasn't my idea to do this, if this was my idea I wouldn't dare go anywhere near it. I was terrified. We all walked closer to the beast and when we turned a corner we saw it. It was a big, greyish dragon with chains around its neck.

"Bloody hell. That's a Ukrainian Ironbelly." Ron whispered as the dragon was asleep.

"Here." The goblin said as he gave Ron a metal toy which rattled when it was shook. The dragon suddenly woke and tried to attack us but when Griphook shook the rattle, the dragon backed away. "It's been trained to expect pain when it heard the noise." He then told us.

"That's barbaric." Hermione said. She was right, it was cruel. We all were able to get past the dragon as it was whining in pain. I was a bit behind everyone, I was stood staring at the creature at our exit. I felt bad for it, chained up and in pain

"Y/n! We need to go!" Harry called back for me and he grabbed my arm to drag me away. He dragged me to the room that the elf had just opened. It must be Bellatrix's vault! We were finally in.

"Lumos." Me, Harry, Ron and Hermione all castes the spell so our wands would light up as it was very dark.

"Blimey!" Ron said amazed as of the amount of good there was.

"Accio Horcrux!" Hermione said out loud. She was trying to find a horcrux...Is this why we were there? To find the horcruxes? This is bad, this is really bad. If Voldemort finds out they're trying to kill him he will have all the death eaters after us.

"You're seriously not trying that one again, are you?" Ron asked her.

"That kind of magic won't work in here." Griphook told her.

"Is it in here, Harry? Can you feel anything?" Ron asked Harry as we kept walking around the vault.

Harry didn't answer him but suddenly we all heard faint whispers. A piece of gold next to Harry's foot suddenly broke and multiplied.

"That's it, up there!" Harry told us whilst looking at the top of a mountain of gold. More pieces of gold fell onto the floor and started multiplying.

"They've added the Gemini curse. Everything you touch will multiply." Griphook told us.

"Give me the sword!" Harry told Hermione and she threw him a sword. Everything was multiplying beneath us. Harry was climbing up a hill of many pieces of gold. The room went silent as he disappeared in the gold treasure.

"Got it!" Harry shouted and broke through the treasure after a few seconds of silence. Harry threw the cup that he took from the mountain of gold but Griphook picked it up. "Griphook, we had a deal!" Harry shouted to him.

"The cup for the sword!" Griphook shouted at him. In response Harry threw him the sword and Griphook threw Hermione the cup.

"I said i'd get you in. I didn't say anything about getting you out." Griphook said and smiled evilly. Griphook then opened the door and him and the elf left the vault. Me, Harry, Hermione and Ron were gasping for air as the gold was suffocating us. All the gold fell out of the vault we did too. Griphook had ran away but the elf was standing still facing us infront of the dragon.

"Foul little git. Least we've still got Bogrod." Ron said bitterly. As soon as Ron said this, the dragon breathed fire and roasted the elf. "That's unfortunate." Ron then stated after we all grimaced at the death of the elf.

Suddenly, many guards came running to where the dragon was and started casting spells at us. We hid behind the walls we were near.

"We can't just stand here. Who's got an idea?" Hermione shouted over to us.
