I'm Okay

Chapter 16

     It's been confirmed. I have to spy on Snape while giving him information from the meetings he's not in. And trying to match what he tells Voldemort. It's quite tiring. Especially since Severus has such a good occlumency shield. But I still learned how to enter his mind without him finding out. It took a while.

     I did it when he was in meetings at the Malfoy Manor. At first, he told Voldemort what was happening, but all Voldemort did was send someone around to see if anyone was there. But there's also another problem. The Unbreakable Vow is already starting to work on me. It's not too strong, but I can feel it trying.

     I have given Snape the notes, and he has given the information if the Ordert meetings. He's also said they suspect him, but the person monitoring him is on our side. He hasn't given a name, claiming the person whats to be unnamed. Not that he has a name to provide them with.

     I'm also going to find some of the Horcruxes. I know there's one in the Lestrange family vault. So I'll go destroy that one. I also need to figure out when the blood moon is, as I know it's this year. And talk to Kreacher about what happened with the Horcrux Regulus gave him. I've got a lot to do. But first, I'm going to take a nap.

     I'm going to get the Horcrux today. This will alert the Death Eaters that someone is destroying the Horcruxes, and hopefully, this will put Snape in good faith. But, if he's put in good faith, then he'll find out that I'm a death eater. Now I have to think of a way to put myself in good faith with him. Shit.

     I'm not thinking about that right now. I've got to think of a way to let the goblins at Gringotts Wizarding Bank to let me into the Lestrange vault. Could make a fake note. But what would it say, and they have other security factors. I'll figure it out when I get there, I guess. Sometimes it's alright not to have a plan.

     I'm waiting in line to get to the main goblin, as he's the one who'll help me get into the Lestrange vault. 

     Once at the front of the line, the goblin asks in a snobby tone, "What do you want?"

     I knew if you're nice to the goblins, they'll be nice to you, so I said in a friendlier tone, "I was hoping you could help me with something, and this interaction would be fruitful for all of us."

     This got the goblin's attention because he then said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry. How can I help you?"

     "I'm here for the Lestrange family. I've got a note from Bellatrix. I need to get into their family vault."

     "Do you have a key?"

     "Yep." I handed him the key I picked out of Bellatrix's pocket. I, of course, replaced it with a replica that I made, but it doesn't have the same magical footprint, so if she tried to get into her vault, she can't.

     He grabbed the key and called for another goblin. That goblin took control of the front desk, and he would lead me to the vault.

     After falling off the cart, he walked me a little farther, where I saw a dragon. I had to take a few seconds to realise that this Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon was being abused here. The goblin with me told me as much when he grabbed a shaker to keep the dragon back. The dragon was even saying it won't do anything and to be nice. I'm definitely getting it out of here when I leave.

     He opened the vault door, and I walked in. I knew an Order meeting was happening at this time, so Snape and I would have the same story. But I still have to work quickly so I can get back before the meeting ends.

     Once the goblin opened the room, I walked in, and he closed it behind me. I brought out a golden snitch. I have changed it so it seeks out Horcruxes. Letting it out in the room, it stayed by my arm that had the Horcrux in it before flying away. I watched it head straight for a cup that, when I looked closer at it, was Helga Hufflepuff's cup.

     I made sure not to touch anything because then everything would duplicate. I knew this because I could feel the spells placed on this place. When I got closer to the wall it was on, I opened my hand for the snitch to come to. I put the snitch in my pocket before taking my gloves off.

     Growing my nails a little more, they looked like claws, making it easier to climb the wall to get the cup. Being careful, I got to the cup and grabbed it. Jumping down, the impact on the ground shocked the tables around me. This is enough to activate the spell. Seeing this, I pulled my hood down and brought my mask up. Quickly replacing my gloves, I speeded my way out of there when I saw Bellatrix walking this way.

     I pointed my wand at the dragon's chains. I cast reducto and watched as the chains fell off the dragon. The dragon longed towards the goblin that led me here and tried to get Bellatrix, but she moved, and the dragon got the goblin that was with her, which I realised was the goblin that took over for my goblin.

     Bellatrix was casting spells at the dragon, so I jumped onto it and threw expelliarmus towards her. I didn't pay attention to see if it worked. Instead, I look toward the Ironbelly. Crawling closer to its head, I said in parseltongue, "Fly up through the roof. I'll keep you safe."

     The dragon nodded, flying through the roof and into the bank's reception area. Flying higher, it rose above the clouds and passed through the sky. As it flew, I took the time to admire the view.

     "I need to get off soon," I said in parseltongue.

     The dragon brought me to the ground, and I walked away after it flew off. Changing my clothes to muggle ones. Walking away, I looked for an ally to destroy the Horcrux. After five minutes of looking, I found a pretty bad part of town and walked into an ally.

     Grabbing my knife, I laid the horcrux on the ground and stabbed it. Once I was sure it was destroyed, I grabbed the broken pieces and walked home.
