Me, Ron and Mione are sitting around the kitchen table with some drinks and snacks Fleur made us as Harry is standing outside.

"It's beautiful here"Luna says to Bill

"It was our aunts. We used to come here as kids, the order uses it as a safe house now. What's left of us at least"Bill explains

"Muggles think these keep evil away, but they're wrong"Luna says looking st some shells as Harry walks in

"I need to talk to the goblin"Harry says and Bill leads us to Griphook's room "How are you?"Harry asks Griphook

"Alive" Griphook answers

"You probably don't remember- -"

"That I showed you to your vault the first time you came to Gringotts? Even amongst goblins you're famous Harry Potter"Griphook says cutting Harry off who stands near the window "You buried the elf"

"Yes"Harry nods

"And you brought me here. You're a very unusual wizard. How did you come by this sword?"Griphook asks looking st the sword

"It's complicated. Why did Bellatrix Lestrange think it should be in her vault at Gringotts?"Harry asks

"Its complicated"Griphook answers

"The sword presented itself to is in a moment of need, we didn't steal it"Harry informs Griphook

"There is a sword in Madame Lesteange's vault identical to this but is a fake. It was placed there this summer"Griphook explains to us

"And she never expected it was a fake?"Harry asks

"The replica is very convincing. Only a goblin would recognise that this is the true sword of Gryffindor"Griphook explains

"Who's the acquaintance?"I ask

"A Hogwarts professor, as I understand he's now headmaster"Griphook announces

"Snape? He put a fake sword in Bellatrix's vault? Why?"Ron asks

"There are more than a few curious things is the vaults at Gringotts"Griphook says as he looks at Harry

"And in Madame Lestrange's vault as well?"Harry questions

"Perhaps"Griphook simply says

"I need to get into one of the vaults"Harry tells Griphook

"That's impossible"Griphook tells Harry

"Alone, yes. With you, no"Harry tells him

"Why should I help you?"Griphook questions

"I have gold, lots of it"Harry says

"I have no interest in gold"Griphook answers

"Then what?"Harry asks and Griphook looks straight over at the sword

"That, that is my price"Griphook says making Harry look at the sword too

"Are you thinking there's a Horcrux in Bellatrix's vault?" I ask Harry as we wait outside Ollivander's room

"She was terrified when she thought we'd been in there, she kept asking you what else we'd taken. I bet you anything there's a Horcrux in there, another piece of his soul. We'll find it and kill it, we'll be one step closer to killing him"Harry explains to us

"And what happens when we find it? How are we supposed to destroy it now you've given the sword away?"Ron asks Harry

"I'm still working on that part"Harry says as the door opens and Fleur walks out

"He's weak"Fleur tells us before we walk in and Ollivander is sitting on a chair beside his bed

"Mr Ollivander, I need to ask you a few questions"Harry says to him as Ron closes the door

"Anything by boy, anything"Ollivander says

"Would you mind identifying this wand? We need to know if it is safe to use"Harry says as he passes a wand to Ollivander and takes a seat on the bed

"Walnut. Dragon heartstring. Twelve and three quarter inches. Unique, unyielding. This belonged to Bellatrix Lestrange, treat it carefully"Ollivander says before handing it back to Harry

"And this?"Harry asks handing over a second wand

"Hawthorn. And unicorn hair. Ten inches. Reasonably pliant. This was the wand of Draco Malfoy"Ollivander tells us

"Was? Is it not still?"Harry questions

"Well perhaps not of you won it from him. I sense it's allegiance has changed"Ollivander says passing the wand back

"You talk about wands as if they have feelings"Harry says

"The wand chooses the the Wizard Mr.Potter, that much has always been clear to us that have studied wand law"Ollivander says

"And what do you know about the Deathly Hallows?"Harry asks Ollivander who's face is covered in fear

"It's rumoured there are three: the Elder wand, the Cloak of invisibility and the Reseruction stone to bring back loved ones from the dead. Together they make one the master of death, but few truly believe that such objects exist"Ollivander explains

"Do you? Do you believe they exist sir?"Harry asks him

"I see no reason to put into an old wives tale"Ollivander answers

"You're lying. You know one exists, you told him about it. You told him about the Elder and nd where he could find it"Harry says

"He tortured me. Besides, i only conveyed rumours. There's no telling whether he will find it"Ollivander says

"He has sounds it, sir. We'll let you rest"Harry says and walks over to us

"He's after you Mr.Potter. And if it's true what you say and he has the Elder wand, then I'm afraid you really done stand a chance"Ollivander says

"Well I suppose I have to kill him beforehand he finds me then"Harry says and we walk out of his room and down to the living room

"Are you sure that's hers?"Harry asks me as I hold up a strand of Bellatrix's hair

"Positive"I answer
