Flashbacks and Present

Gali's POV

"Galatea," a soft voice said, followed by a hand touching my cheek. I shook, flipping out of my bed, looking at who was there.
"It's alright," Hazel said, sitting down on my silk bed sheets.
"Oh, good morning?" I said, yawning.
"Yes, it is indeed. I've come down this way to inform you of a meeting at twelve in the dining room," Hazel said, placing her hand on my foot to get up off the bed.
"Oh, alright," I said, flopping back over. She left quietly from the large room, and I heard her shoes tapping the floor until she was far away.
It felt weird being here, really weird. Last time I was here, I lived with my father and my mother. Since he was the Dark Lord, and my mother was the Dark Mistress. This Easter felt different, different than the last. I hugged my soft pillow, placing my face on it.

*"Galatea dear, pass the turkey please," my mother said.
"Yeah, pass the turkey!" Rustilius shouted, slamming his fork on the table. Everyone laughed, diving at the food. I smiled and slid the turkey down the table into my fathers reach.
"Thanks, darling," he said, happily.
"Ah, Loriena! Glad you could make it," my mother said, pulling out a chair for her.
"It was hard to make it!" Loriena said.
"Well, glad you could," Hazel said.
"Gali!" someone whispered from under the table, "got any cake left?"
It was Elaviel, so I handed her my half eaten slice of strawberry cheesecake.
"Thanks," she said, giggling.*

I snapped out of my deep sleep, and realized it was soon to be twelve. I got showered, dressed, and brushed my hair and left my room into the corridor. The secret headquarters were very hidden, until of course the Auror's found the location. Now, we had four or five guards sitting at the entrance with their wands at the ready. The memorial room was to the left of the duelling hall, which held statues of previous Deatheater's and Dark Lord's. My father stood towering above me, encased in a stone statue. It seemed odd seeing him in some way again, making me chilly.
"Hey," a woman's voice said.
"Oh, hey," I said, trying to bring my attention away from the statue.
"It's okay, I come in here a lot too," Loriena said, placing her hand on my shoulder and smiling. "You know, your father was a great man," she said.
I nodded, smiling. In the corner, there was a statue of a small girl.
"Who's that?" I said, walking towards the stone person.
"Whom?"
I walked closer, staring at the statue. It was Natalina.
"Loriena, why is Nat here?" I interrogated, pushing her back untie wall.
"Gali, calm down!" she demanded, tapping me back.
"I want to know," I said, angrily.
"Nat was with us," Loriena said patiently, "she joined us around the time your father was killed and you left."
"How come the Deatheater's killed her?" I said, unconvinced.
"No, it wasn't us. Abbe wasn't part of us, he was in the Order of the Phoenix." Loriena said.
"What?"
"Nat was one of the very few Deatheaters at Hogwarts, and they must've figured this out," Loriena said, touching Natalina's cold stone face.
"So some Professor's and students were in on this?" I said, as my temper rose.
"Most likely."

Ellie's POV

"You can't be serious?" I said, laughing.
"Yeah, I am. He did it last night," Kassie said, giggling.
We were in the corridor of the base in Knockturn Alley, which was currently dangerous since the Auror break in. Dayved and Kassie have been together for a week, and they're closer than ever. Halfway down the hallway, I had to stop because Dayved and Kassie came to a sudden halt.
"Coming?" I said, looking at them.
"Er, no," Kassie said, twisting her head to look at Dayved.
"Oh, ok," I said, walking away.
"Bye El, catch you later."
At that moment, I saw Kassie tug Dayved into the bedroom, and next came the sound of a slamming door and a clicking lock. I smiled and continued to make my way towards Gali, who was standing at the end of the corridor. We didn't really talk much, since we were very diverse people and were always in different areas of the castle.
"Hey, Gali," I said, awkwardly peering down at the ground.
"Oh, hey?" Gali said, looking away from the painting of Rustilius Sunstrider.
"What are you doing?" I said, in the least creepiest way possible.
"Waiting for the meeting," Gali said.
"Well, we should head towards the hall then," I said.
"Indeed," Gali said, pushing her long hair away from her face.

"As you all may or may not know, we have been attacking Gringotts since yesterday morning," Dantriomir said, pacing around our chairs. "Magatha, Loriena, Emerald, Zmiya, and Rosie are currently holding our position. We'll need the rest of you to finish the rest of the remaining guards, and take all the gold and coins you can."
"My Lord?" said Dayved, holding Kassie's hand. I giggled and smiled, holding in my goblin laugh. "I don't want Kas to be inside by herself," Dayved continued.
Kassie rolled her eyes, "I'll be fine."
"Well, get ready," Dantriomir said.
Immediately, the Deatheaters Rose out of their seats, and packed up their things.

Kassie's POV

*CRACK*

I Apparated in front of Gringotts, feeling the rough stone street crumble under my feet.
"There's one of them!" an Auror shouted, running through the crowd that was surrounding the collapsed bank. Pulling my cloak over my head, I walked quickly around the crowd. They were gaining on me, so I began to run.
"Kas," Dayved whispered, touching my shoulder. He kissed me on the cheek, startling me.
"Oh, hey... now's not the time," I said, kissing him back.
I pushed him forward, elbowing past students on their break and witches and wizards. I scampered down Knockturn Alley, with Dayved following close behind me. The Auror's shadows crept up every step we took.
Sliding around a corner, I pulled Dayved in, crouching down against the wall to avoid the Auror's.
"Where'd they go?" one shouted, pulling out his wand. "Lumos," he mumbled, and his wand lit up.
I grabbed his cloak and spun him around, smashing his face into the wall; he crumbled to the ground, unconscious.
"Let's go," I said.
It wasn't hard to sneak past the crowd, but Auror's were everywhere since Dantriomir couldn't hold Genesis anymore with the Imperius Curse. Since then, the Auror's went into hiding. I don't know where, but it shouldn't be hard to find since they're completely idiotic.
I slid around the marble pillars of the bank, then walked into the bank with Dayved. Halfway past the wreckage, someone grabbed my arm.
"Hey, you can't be here!" Gwyndolyn said, pulling off my hood.
I withdrew my wand, flicking it at her; airborne, Gwyndolyn twisted through the air as her red mane of hair trailed around her. I watched her crumple to the ground, not dead, but breathing.
"I can't believe I just did that," I said, wrapping my arms around Dayved.
"Forget about it, let's go," Dayved said, pulling away from me. I nodded nervously, then we headed down into the vaults, shuffling over stone and marble wreckage.

Rocks were still falling and eating away at the cavern walls. Dayved and I walked along the tracks, since no carts were there. It was calm, well except for the crumbling walls. The right side of the vaults was filled with a flash of lightning and screaming.
"Just give up!" Magatha yelled, hurdling rocks towards Scott.
Scott groaned, casting a shield around himself with deflected the stone.
"What do we do?" I whispered, looking at Dayved.
"Don't hurt him," Dayved said, worryingly.
Looking at Dayved with a terrified expression, blue light expelled from the tip of my wand, stunning Scott.
All action stopped, and Magatha stepped from around her pillar.
"Thanks dear," she said, wiping dust off her cheeks and dress.
Dayved picked up Scott's body, dragging it up against the wall.
"Dayved, take him to the chamber," Magatha said.
Dayved looked nervously over to me, and peered back at Magatha.
"I'll look after her, go," she said.
Dayved sliced through the air, disappearing.
