CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE
gringotts heist

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐂𝐘 𝐒𝐈𝐗 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐀 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍. After speaking with the goblinGriphook in a bedroom of a safe house, Harry decided that they needed to break into Bellatrix Lestrange's vault at Gringotts. The only flaw in that plan was that they needed Bellatrix in order to get in. To do that, someone would need to take Polyjuice Potion to disguise themselves as her.
And Lyra Black did not want to oblige.
"Lyra, please, we need to get in there," Harry pleaded for what felt like the hundredth time since that morning.
"I won't." Lyra crossed her arms and sat down next to Aliyah on the couch. "If Bellatrix finds out, she will kill me. She merely spared me when we were at the manor."
"I could take the potion." Aliyah offered, raising her hand.
"Absolutely not." Lyra's brows scrunched as she turned to her girlfriend. "I know how you think. You're gonna do something inappropriate."
"No I wouldn't." Aliyah snickered when Lyra raised a brow. "If we were using Polyjuice to turn into Narcissa, then I would."
"Aliyah Beatrice Coleman! Stop talking about my sister like that! I-It's gross, it's weird."
"How about this?" Hermione stood up. "I'll take the potion. The longer we wait here, the longer we waste precious time, the more people are going to get hurt because of him. We need to get into Bellatrix's vault and destroy that Horcrux."
"Hermione, no." Lyra sighed. She rubbed her lips together, thinking for a moment. "I-I'll do it."
They got to work creating a replica of Bellatrix's clothes for Lyra to wear. When that was done, she took a strand of dark curly hair off of her shirt, examining it before confirming that it was in fact Bellatrix's. She added it into the Polyjuice Potion, watching as it frothed before holding her breath and drinking it.
The deal was that Griphook would get them into Bellatrix's vault, but only if they gave him the Sword of Gryffindor in return. Agreeing to his terms, they Apparated away to Diagon Alley.
Ron was in disguise as a bodyguard of sorts. Dakota, Hermione, and Aliyah were under a Disillusionment Charm, and Harry would be under the Invisibility Cloak with Griphook. Lyra scowled at a random man that had addressed her with a nod. Channeling her inner Bellatrix, she led the way into Gringotts Bank.
She walked down the reception area, stumbling a little in the heels she was wearing. She reached the goblin at the front, who was writing with a quill. She cleared her throat to get his attention. "I wish to enter my vault," she said coldly.
