A Soul Bond - HP fanfic (Completed)

Chapter 51. The Vault.

A week has passed and everything was peaceful. They've decided to stay in the cottage by the beach so Steph could recharge and Evelyn as well before they had to continue the journey.

"It's beautiful here." Luna said one morning.

"It's our aunts. We used to come here as kids." Said Bill. "She only uses it now as a safe house. For what's left of us at least."

Suddenly, Harry entered the room and told Bill "I need to talk to the Goblin."

After they talked to him, they were not sure if making a deal with him was the best option. Specially Evelyn, she didn't trust him.

But Harry was determined to get that horrocrux and if that was the only way, then they needed to do it.

So they had a plan. It was a horrible plan, but as Harry said, they never really have a plan, they just go with it.

"I'm not going to be Bellatrix though." Evelyn said.

"You know how she acts way better than I do! You were with her for 6 months!" Hermione argued.

"Do you know how much trauma I have from her?"

"I have my own trauma too! Didn't you hear my screams?"

"Okay, okay let's decide with rock, paper, scissors." Ron said and both Evelyn and Hermione looked at him with a 'are you serious?' look. "What? Can you think of anything better?"

Knowing that there were not that many options, they listened to Ron.

"Okay, whoever loses, is the one that will be Bellatrix." Harry said as they watch the two girls, looking determined.

"Rock, papers, scissors, shoot!"

"Yes!" Evelyn said and Harry high fived her.

"That's my girl!" He said proudly as he pecked her on the lips.

Hermione could only roll her eyes "Let's get this over with." She said as they started with their plan.

"Please, just be careful." Steph said to Evelyn.

"I will. Don't worry. What could possibly go wrong?" Evelyn said sarcastically. When she saw Steph's serious face she stopped "Okay, sorry, I promise. We'll be careful."

A few minutes later, Goblin came back with Hermione, however, she didn't look like her at all.

"Well? How do I look?" She asked and Steph couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Oh shut up."

"Hideous." Harry answered as he tried to hold in his laughter.

"Are we going to do this, or not?" Griphook asked.

"We're relying on you Griphook. If you can get us passed the guards, into the vault, the sword is yours."

They put their hands together so they could all apparate and their adventure began.

The air was thick with tension as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Evelyn stood before the heavy door of Bellatrix Lestrange's vault, hidden deep within the labyrinthine tunnels of Gringotts.

Harry nodded, his heart racing. He could feel the weight of their mission pressing down on him. They needed the Horcrux—this was one step closer to defeating Voldemort.

With the key, Griphook opened the vault door, revealing a cavernous room bathed in the flickering glow of gold and silver. Piles of glittering coins rose like mountains, interspersed with artifacts that seemed to shimmer with dark magic.
