Amy the Girl Who Lived (Deathly Hallows - Hunt for Horcrouxes)

Griphook, Ollivander and Escaping Gringotts

It's been a few days since we have come here and I was up and about again but right this moment I was sitting in the back garden by Dobbys grave and I knew that Voldemort had the elder wand in his grasp now and I can't help but feel like I've lost a lot of people. Harry is safe and he with the triplets are staying with Andromeda and I'll collect them after the war if I survive if not and we four die Andromeda or my mother will look after them. I've heard about Hogwarts and the Dementors on the grounds and I will make sure to turn that school around. I knew war was coming soon I just knew it. I looked into the mirror and kept seeing Albus's eyes and I really miss him it tears my heart looking at the picture and not being able to be held by him. I then walked back to the house and overlooked the garden.
"It's beautiful here." Stacey said to Andromeda and I knew she was effected by Ted.
"It was Teds house. He lived here when he was just a boy." Andromeda said and Tonks smiled at that and rubbed her stomach wanting the baby to be born soon so we can get going. "The order uses it now as a safe house. What's left of us, at least."
"Muggles think these keep evil away, but their wrong." Luna said to that and I smiled and went to my crying son Albus and I picked him up and cradled him and he stopped. I knew he just wanted to be close with me and he is a mummy's boy, I have to say.
"I need to talk to the goblin." I said to Andromeda wanting to know what Bellatrix meant but I knew not to trust Griphook but I hope Ragnok doesn't turn on me.
Andromeda sighed and I passed Albus to Tonks who cooed over him and Harry was holding his sister carefully and I smiled and followed Andromeda up stairs where she opened the door and I sighed. I walked in to see him there and Tonks, Charlie and Bill was with me to hear this.
"How are you, Griphook?" I asked him as he looked out.
"Alive." Griphook answered and I knew that very much but he could say something else at least.
"You probably don't remember..." I started to say to him.
"That I showed you and the other three to your vaults that you were heirs to when you first came to Gringotts and got the shocking news about your parents?" He said to me and I sighed. "Even amongst us goblins you're the famous, Amy Mcgonagall Moody who Ragnok speaks highly about because you treat us as equals." He said looking at me as I sat down. "You buried the elf."
"My friends did. I couldn't because I was preoccupied with untold events." I said to that and he nodded his head.
"And you brought me here." He told me and that was obvious wasn't it. "You are a very unusual witch. How did you come by the sword?" He asked me and I didn't know how to explain that.
"It's complicated." I replied to that knowing how he works. "Why did Bellatrix Lestrange think is should be in her vault at Gringotts instead of the Gryffindor vault that I own?" I asked him.
"It's complicated." He replied and I sighed and thought about this to get my answer.
"The sword presented itself to us in a moment of need. We didn't steal it." I told him and he looked at me with black eyes.
"There is a sword in Madam Lestranges vault identical to this one but it is a fake. It was placed there this summer." He explained to me the question I asked and I wondered who would put a fake in it.
"And she never suspected it was a fake?" I asked him because she might of done.
"The replica is very convincing. Only a goblin would recognise that this is the true sword of Gryffindor and only the heiress would as well." He explained to me and I knew I recognised as the real one.
"Who is the acquaintance?" Tonks asked him. He looked to her.
"A Hogwarts Professor. As I understand it, he's now headmaster." He said and I gritted my teeth at that because that man killed my husband and the farther of my kids.
"Snape?" Charlie said in shock at that and looked to Amy.
"He put a fake sword in Bellatrix's vault? Why?" Bill said and asked about that because if he was on the Deatheaters side he would of put the real one in the vault.
"There are more than a few curious things in the vaults at Gringotts." Griphook said and this peeked my attention as well as the others because Bellatrix said what else did we steal from her vault.
"And in Madam Lestrange's Vault as well?" I asked him wondering if there could be a Horcrux in there but it would be a mighty risk.
"Perhaps." He said leaning back.
"I need to get into Gringotts into one of the vaults." I said and he looked at me for that.
"That is impossible." Griphook told me and I smiled and Griphook saw this and he knew something was going to be asked of him.
"Alone, yes. But with you, no." I said to him.
"Why should I help you, Lady Amy?" He asked of me. I knew there would be something that he wants and I could only guess he wanted to the sword.
"I have gold and lots of it with other treasures." I said to him knowing I have a lot of old relics from the times in the vaults and everything else. I am the richest witch alive.
"I have no interest in gold, Lady Amy." He said to me and I gritted my teeth at that one.
"Then what? What would you want, Griphook?" I asked him. I then saw him look to the sword and I sighed inwardly. Damn it.
"That." He said pointing to the sword. "That is my price." He told us.
I looked to the sword and sighed this is going to get complicated after that we went out of the room.
"Are you thinking there's a Horcrux in Bellatrix's vault?" Tonks asked Amy who was in deep thought.
"She was terrified when she thought we'd been in there and if there was a Horcrux you would be worried about Tom wouldn't you because that means one step closer in killing him. She wouldn't want that." I said to her and she sighed and Bill looked in thought and Charlie was listening to us.
"Exactly she asked what else we had taken from there and I'm going with Amy here, I bet you anything there's a Horcrux in there, another piece of his soul." Bill said to that.
"Let's find it and kill it, were one step closer to killing him." I finished that and he nodded at that in confirmation to do it.
"And what happens when we find it, Amz? How are we supposed to destroy it now you've given the sword to Griphook?" Charlie asked me and I grinned at that.
"Esmerelda. She's still at the school in the chamber I moved her last year." I said to that and they went wide eyed with that one.
Then the door opened and Andromeda came out and looked to the four of us. "He's weak." She told me and I went into Ollivanders room and smiled any my old friend.
"Yes?" Ollivander asked Amy when she came in and he remembered her from all those years ago and from visiting him.
"Ollivander, I need to ask you some questions my old friend." I told him and he smiled at me.
"Anything my dear girl, anything." He said to me and I walked to him and passed him the wand.
"Would you mind identifying this wand?" I asked him and he looked at it. "We need to know if it's safe to use."
"Walnut. Dragon Heartstring. Twelve and three quarter inches. Unyielding. This belongs to Bellatrix Lestrange. Treat it carefully." He told me and passed me it back and I did so.
"And this?" I asked handing him another wand.
"Hawthorn. And Unicorn hair. Ten inches. Reasonably pliant." He said and then he put his ear to it. "This was the wand to Draco Malfoy." He said and I looked to him on that one. Once? It isn't anymore then?
"Was? Is it not still? Mr Ollivander." Tonks asked him standing by the door with Charlie and Bill.
"Well, perhaps not. If you won it from him. I sense it's allegiance has changed." He told me and I took it from his outstretched hand and I wondered about that and the wand Albus had. Could wands tell that their master had been taken over and been beaten?
"Ollivander, you take to wands as if they have feelings...can think." I said and he leaned in closer.
"The wand chooses the wizard, Amy. That much has always been clear to those of us who have studied wandlore." He told me and I hesitated to ask this question and he seems to notice. "What do you want to ask, Amy?" Ollivander asked the girl.
"And what do you know about the Deathly Hallows?" I asked him.
"It is rumoured that there are three: The Elder Wand, the Cloak of Invisibility to hide you from your enemies and the Resurrection Stone to bring back loved ones from the dead. Together, they make the Master of Death. But few believe that such objects exist." He explained to me and I looked to him.
"Do you, Ollivander?" I asked him wondering what he believed on this. "Do you believe they exist?"
"I see no reason to put stock into an old wives tale." He said to me and I knew he was definitely lying.
"You're lying, Ollivander. You know one exists because I know one does as well. You told him about it. You told him about the Elder Wand and where he could go looking for it." I said to him and he looked to me and to the ground.
"He tortured me. Besides, I only convey rumours. There's... There's no telling whether he will find it." He told me and I knew this was going to be bad.
"He has already found it, Ollivander." I said and he looked at me. "Oh and one more question that I'm curious about.. I was wondering if a person disarms a person but a different person kills that same person then who does the wand belong to as it chooses its owner." I said and he looked to me.
"The person that disarms that person, Amy." Ollivander said to the girl and she nodded.
"Thank you, Ollivander. I'll let you rest but when this war is over..." I said and he looked to me. "I will help your rebuild your shop because I like your shop and wands and trust me on this that the new first years will want wands from there." I said and he chuckled.
"I'll put you up on that offer, Amy. I'll see you in the near summer then." Ollivander said to the girl who he believes could stop Voldemort but with the terrible losses she has made though. "Oh and Amy, he is after you. If it's true what you say, and he has the Elder Wand I'm afraid you might not stand a chance." He told me.
"Well I guess I'll have to kill him then before he finds me, then Ollivander." I told him and walked out of the room. I went down and spent time with Harry and I told him any kind of stories and soon it got to dark and he fell to sleep on my lap and I smiled and lifted him up and placed him into his bed and kissed his head and I got to the triplets and Tonks helped me feed Alastor while I had Albus and Minerva breast feeding.
"I'm due soon Amz, on the tenth and then we can go and carry on with the hunt." Tonks informed and I looked at her and nodded.
"Yes I know but it will be hard to leave them all." I said and I burped the two and we placed them down in the crib with a sigh and Tonks hugged me.
"I know but it's the only option we have because we have to win this war." Tonks said to her friend and with that we went to sleep.
.......
It's time with Tonks giving the birth and I was holding her hand as she screamed and I had to say by hand could be broken but the thing was Remus was here to see his child born and he was in pain from the grip.
"Push!" Andromeda ordered her daughter.
"I'm trying mum!" Tonks snapped at Andromeda.
"You can do it Dora." Remus said and she grabbed his shirt and glared with red hair.
"You try and push something that's the size of the watermelon out the size of a lemon and see how you can do it!" Tonks shouted and I wanted to laugh but I got a glare and I shut my mouth don't get a labour woman angry at you.
Tonks screamed one last time when a crying entered the atmosphere and we looked and oh my god he's a metamorphagus.
"It's a boy!" Andromeda said to her holding her grandson and got him wrapped up in a blanket and passed him to her daughter.
"What are we going to name him?" Remus asked looking at his son and looked to his goddaughter who was smiling he has missed that smiling since Albus was killed.
"Edward Remus Lupin but Teddy for a nickname after dad." Tonks said and Remus nodded.
"And for godparents?" Andromeda asked and Tonks with Remus smiled and turned to Amy who looked at them clueless.
"Hey pup, would you do us the honour in being Teddys godmother?" Remus said to his godmother who was shocked at that.
"Um...it would be my pleasure." I said to him and they smiled and Remus held his son and Andromeda took pictures of the two and Tonks and then Remus passed him to me and I looked to him and he had blue hair this time and he looked at me. He was adorable and then I got a picture took when the others came in and Harry got on the bed since the triplets were asleep.
"What's his name, Aunt Tonks?" Harry asked his aunt and now he had sibling and a cousin.
"Edward Remus Lupin, Harry." Tonks answered her godson as he looked in awe like Amy did.
"Sweet." Harry said and yawned and I looked outside and it was dark time flies when your in labour.
"Come on, Harry. Time for bed and to leave these three alone to sleep." I told him and he gripped on to me and I smiled and kissed Tonks and Teddy on the head while Remus kissed my head and hugged me and then I placed Harry down and I yawned.
"Mum, could you stay with me?" Harry asked not wanting his mother to leave but she had to and he wanted her with him tonight.
"Sure, move over then." I said and he did and I laid down and he put his head on my chest and I stroked his head humming and soon I fell to sleep because it was only a matter of time until Gringotts.
........
As the days past with being at Andromedas the day has come to go to Gringotts and Harry with Remus didn't like it but we have set them both straight and so Remus has said goodbye to his son because he had to go and I kissed my kids heads.
"Are you sure that's hers?" Bill asked looking at the hair Tonks holds. I will be going as Bellatrix and the boys as other Deatheaters and Tonks as someone else as Narcissa.
"Positive." Tonks said and we all got in a line as Tonks watched and we took the PolyJuice potion. Dad was right it does taste like goblins piss. It was disgusting.
When I was done I went into the garden for one last time at Dobbys grave and then went to the three. "Well?" I asked wondering if I looked like that woman.
"Hideous." Charlie replied looking at Bellatrix.
"You can give that to Tonks to hold, all right, Griphook?" I said to him and he placed the sword in Tonks extendable bag.
We then grabbed hands and we looked to Griphook. He came. "We're relying on you Griphook. If you get us past the guards and into the vault, the sword is yours." Bill told him and then we apperated to Diagon Alley.
When we landed I looked around to see it all dark. I didn't like this at it. "Madam Lestrange." Someone greeted.
"Goodmorning." I said and I slipped up.
"Goodmorning? Goodmorning?" Griphook said to me and I shrugged. "You're Bellatrix Lestrange, not some dewy-eyed school girl." He told me and Charlie glared.
"Hey. Easy." Charlie told him for saying that.
"If you Amy give us away, we might as well use the sword to slit our own throats. Understand?" Griphook told us and that hurt me.
"No, he's right. I slipped up there I need to get into role." I said to everyone and I sighed.
"Okay." Bill said and Tonks nodded.
"Let's do it." Tonks said to that and Griphook got on Bills back and Charlie and Tonks was with me. I was panicking and there was no Ragnok on the front desk what happened to him? I walked in and I looked to Tonks. She looked to me. I then started to walk I wasn't good in high heels and the goblins looked to me.
I cleared my throat. "I wish to enter my vault." I said to the goblin and I could swear Tonks was about to jump away from me and Tonks looked to her and she was very convincing.
"Identification?" The goblin asked me and then I saw Ragnok and he looked to me and went slightly wide eyed but stopped and nodded slightly. Ragnok knew this was Amy and he knew this was bad news because they have all heard imposters might try.
"I hardly think that's necessary with my sister." I said to him and he looked to me and sat up.
"Madam Lestrange." He said in shock.
"I don't like to be kept waiting! I'm a very impatient woman!" I said to him angrily and I saw Tonks went slightly wide eyed.
"They know." Griphook said and I looked to Ragnok and he looked to them and then to me. "They know that lady Amy's an imposter. They've been warned." He said and Charlie saw a guard starting to approach.
"Bill? What do we do?" Charlie asked and then he looked to me. Then another goblin came and Ragnok came closer to me.
"Madam Lestrange, would you mind presenting your wand?" The goblin asked and I gave my wand to Ragnok.
"And why should my sister do that?" Tonks said to the goblin.
"It's the banks policy. I'm sure you understand given the current climate." He told us.
"This wand belongs to Bellatrix Lestrange. She is the real one and not an imposter." Ragnok said to them and he was angry that Voldemort had taken over.
"Imperio." Bill whispered and the goblin sniffed and Ragnok passed me my wand back and I nodded slightly.
"Very well Madam Lestrange. If you will follow me and Ragnok please." He said and led us to the cart that set off down the tracks.
"Lady Amy, what might I ask you are doing here for? Everyone is looking for you." Ragnok asked his friend that he trusted and was loyal too.
"We needed access to Bellatrix's vault because there is something in it that would make us one step closer to destroying You Know Who." I told him and he nodded.
We got deeper into the shafts and Ragnok was driving and Griphook was here holding on as we went going around turns and bends.
"What's is that, Ragnok and Griphook?" I asked them. Then there was squeaking and grinding.
"Griphook!" Tonks yelled and we went under and when I looked I was myself again and Tonks was herself with Charlie. Oh no. The cart them stopped and we all panted at that. Then suddenly we all dropped and I held on to Ragnok so he didn't crash and Tonks held me and we screamed as we dropped.
"Arresto Momentum." I shouted and we stopped a few inches from the ground and dropped with grunts.
"Well done, Amy." Charlie said to me and I nodded at that one and got up and helped Ragnok up.
"Oh, no. You look like you again." Bill said to that and I sighed well this is gonna be good getting out of here then.
"The thief's downfall washes aways all enchantments." Griphook told us and he could have told us all that earlier. "It can be deadly."
"You don't say." Tonks said to him on that one a bit of warning would have been good.
"Just out of interest Ragnok, is there any other way out of here?" I asked him turning to him and he sighed.
"No, unfortunately not. Gringotts is the safest place after all." Ragnok informed her and she groaned.
"What the Devils are you doing down here?" The goblin asked us and I looked to Ragnok and he sighed. "Thieves. Then you gave up the keys you..." He started saying to Griphook and Ragnok.
"Imperio." I said to that and Ragnok nodded. Then I heard a creature roar in pain and I could understand it luckily.
"That doesn't sound good." Charlie told us.
"It's a dragon in pain. I can understand it Charlie and so I know what's wrong with it." I said I could talk to it.
We then walked to see the dragon chained and I thinned my lips dragons shouldn't be like this they should be free more than anything.
"Bloody hell." Bill said and Charlie was smiling like a lunatic and Bill slapped him on the head to wake him out of that day dream.
"That's a Ukraine Ironbelly." Charlie informed and I saw Griphook get the contraptions and I took it and chucked it back in the box and glared at him.
"Don't you dare. I can get us passed without using those damn awful contraptions." I said to him and Ragnok nodded knowing she could probably do this.
I then stepped up to the dragon and started speaking to it and hopefully help us get out too.
"Hi, we're not here to hurt you all right." I said to it calmly walking up to it and it tried to look at me. She was blind.
"How do I know that? You could be just like them with taking my eye sight away." She told me.
"Would they fix your eyesight for you? Because I can if you can help us." I asked and said her.
"No but neither can you either." She replied to that one and I stroked her nose.
"Yes I can and I will help you if you want me too that is." I said to her and she looked at me.
"Please do help me, I want to see again." She said and placed her head closer to me so I can get to her eyes easier. I then used a complicated spell I know and learned silently and Wandless.
"I can see again, oh thank you hatchling." She said to me and that hit home because Severus used to call me hatchling before he betrayed us.
"And in a few minutes could you fly us out of here because I think we'll need to escape with the people after us." I told her and she nodded her head.
"Of course I will help you. You have given my eyesight." She told me and the lot of them looked shocked and I shrugged at that and we walked to the vault. I don't like that barbarian method of it expecting pain when it heard the bell noise of those contraptions.
We then placed the other goblins hand on the vault and it started to open with the gold. We then got in seeing the gold and it was dark.
"Lumos." I said and lit up my wand at that to at least get some light in to see the place.
"Blimey." Charlie said seeing all the gold.
"Accio Horcrux." Tonks tried and I looked to her that's obviously wouldn't come because I have learned you can't summon them too you.
"You're seriously not trying that again are you Tonks?" Bill said to her.
"That kind of magic won't work in here." Griphook said to that.
"He's right and Horcruxes can't be summoned as well." Ragnok informed us he was the king of the goblins and yet he was over ruled due to Voldemort.
I searched and I could feel the Horcrux in here I can just feel it. "Is it in here Amy?" Charlie asked me and I nodded.
"Can you feel anything?" Bill asked me and I looked around. Then I heard hissing and whispering and I went towards the cup but Tonks stepped on some treasure and it started to duplicate.
"That's it. Up there." I told them looking at the cup. Hufflepuffs cup why isn't the founders things in their original vaults but then again these are fakes except the sword because Voldemort has no idea that there is a podium under the great hall with everything there on it.
"They've added the Gemino curse. Everything you touch will be duplicated." Ragnok informed as they looked around.
"Give me the sword!" I demanded and Tonks chucked it to me and I jumped and grabbed it. Then I made my way to the cup to get it and it was hard with the treasure mounting up and I reached with the sword.
"Stop moving!" Bill ordered and we stopped and the treasure stopped multiplying thankfully for that.
I reached it and grabbed it. "I've got it!" I shouted jumping through the treasure again and ran for the door until I fell and Griphook grabbed the sword. "We had a deal Griphook." I said to him angrily.
"The cup for the sword." He said and I chucked it too him and he chucked the cup to Tonks and she caught it and I glared. I hope he gets it from Voldemort because I knew he was gonna go there.
"I said I'd get you in. I didn't say anything about getting you out." He told me and I gritted my teeth and Ragnok got next to me. "Goodbye your majesty." Griphook said to Ragnok and then the door opened and we all fell out of the vault and I ran for Griphook with Ragnok. Then we saw the guards. Oh yikes.
"Thieves!" Griphook yelled. Bogrod chuckled and Ragnok thinned his lips for the betrayal to their own kind.
"Foul little git. At least we still have Bogrod because no doubt they know Ragnoks a traitor." Charlie said and Ragnok looked to me and I looked to him then the dragon set him on fire and I knew that would happen for standing there. Then we got behind the pillars. We needed to get on the dragons back.
"We can't just stand here! Who's got an idea?" Tonks shouted as we got shot at with the stone columns getting chunks of stone blown out of them.
"Get on the dragons back she'll give us a lift back out." I said and they looked to me as if I had two heads but I put Ragnok on my back and he gripped on and I looked to the dragon. "Reducto!" I shouted to the chains to release it and ran and jumped on the back and I held on and Ragnok did as well. "Well come on then!" I shouted at them.
The three then jumped on and I helped Tonks up and Bill helped Charlie and Charlie was looking excited about this and I knew he loved it right now riding a dragon.
"You can go now!" I shouted to the dragon and she nodded and started to go up as spells shot at us and she breathed fire at the guards and she went up as we gripped on tightly to her. This was taking a lot and the cart went due to she broke the tracks and we went through the floor where the goblins went it was crazy and everyone was yelling as she blew fire and I was smirking as we went through the room and it breathed the air in.
"Brilliant!" Charlie yelled.
"You need to keep going!" I yelled to her and she runs and flys.
"This is brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant!" Bill shouted in pure excitement that he's doing this.
We stayed on the dragons back until we came to near Hogsmeade. "This is our stop you guys!" I shouted and Ragnok nodded at that one and he was a loyal friend.
"We jump!" Bill shouted at this.
"When?" Tonks asked us and I looked.
"Now!" I shouted and we jumped and this was just pure nerve and adrenaline rushing though me from the rush of it all and I knew I would tell my kids about all of this one day that is.
We dropped on the lake and whilst underwater I had a vision of Voldemort killing people and finding out about the Horcruxes we destroyed this wasn't good at all. He's angry and then I see Hogwarts with Helena Ravenclaw with Ravenclaw sign and people dying with goblins as well. His face landed on realisation and I swam to land my heading now was to Hogwarts and finding that blasted Horcrux and I get to see mum again.
