Keeper Caverns

They make their way through the caverns passing bridges and archways obviously made by the Keepers.

Lara: "I should hope that the enchantments protecting the castle would protect against an incursion from below."

Professor Fig: "I fear they may not. Although if they don't now, I can assure you they will in the future."

Although several parents and students are relieved to hear that any flaw in the wards will be corrected, that still doesn't change the fact that the current wards won't stop Ranrok and his drills.

Lara: "Were you able to reach Professor Weasley?"

Professor Fig: "I was. Hopefully she and the others will arrive soon. They know where to find the door through which we entered."

Suddenly they hear and feel a loud rumbling, rushing to investigate they see a goblin drill burst through the cavern wall ahead.

Professor Fig: "Damn. The goblins."

"Crap!"

"Crap!"

Everyone is on edge as they realize this was a crucial time in the history of the wizarding world, and they had never even heard of it, if Ranrok succeeds it could mean the end of wizardkind.  

Lara: "I wonder if Ranrok is here."

Professor Fig: "Let's go. If his Loyalists are here, he cannot be far behind."

Lara: "You and I have faced worse, Professor."

Student and teacher race to confront the invaders, catching them by surprise.

Lara: "Vinicas!, Glacius!, Bombarda!"

Professor Fig: "Leviosa!, Descendo!, Confringo!"

Lara: "Depulso!" She blasts one of the Loyalist backwards, straight into the front of the drilling machine which is still active. The camera changes before impact as Lara looks away, in the background we hear a scream and some other sounds that are probably best left unknown.

"Oh Merlin!"

"Godric's Heart!" Seems like Professor Fig has rubbed off on some people.

Professor Fig: "We need to press on. Ranrok must be here somewhere."

Lara: "This drill stands between us and him. We need to move it."

Professor Fig blasts the drill's controls, shifting them into reverse and causing the machine to roll backward into the tunnel wall which collapses on top of it.
