The Cup

I walked down a dark hallway, and it hit me like a bludger. The dark magic was all around this room. I somehow tricked the goblins, which is beyond me how that happened, but to be fair, Bellatrix is my family and apparently, the goblins are stressed with the war, so here I am.

I opened the door to the vault with a bit of a fight, but what dumbfounded me the most was the room filled with thousands of cups. She must have known I was coming or maybe this was just the regular security. I look around, maybe for an answer or a key that has dumbfounded me just how clever my cousin is. I stood there for ten minutes contemplating what I could do, then it hit me. Why don't I use a spell?

"Accio Hufflepuff Cup," I said. The cup comes flying at me and hits me in the chest, almost making me fall from the impact. I almost shout in excitement that finally something is going well. Till it doesn't.

"Think you're clever, baby cousin?" A shrill voice says from behind me, 'Bellatrix'.

"I think I am rather clever," I said, now turning around.
"Hm, you can't take the cup," she says.

"You wouldn't mind if I took it, would you?" I said in a very sweet tone.

"I would." She says, now drawing her wand. I draw my wand as well, lifting it towards her.

"Is that so?" I asked.

"Give it here." She said loudly. She was already falling for my plan.

"I think I'm good." I shot off a spell a minute after and it hit above Bellatrix.

"Ha, you missed." She laughs with a squeaky sound.

"I haven't," I said right as the room collapsed over her first. I didn't fully think it through, but now I had to find a way out, otherwise this would all be for nothing.

I looked around and saw an opening at the top of the room, but how would I get up there? I looked down and then spotted something wooden.
I could conjure a broom. I picked up the wooden item that was rather long, then shifted the wood into a broom with wandless magic.
I picked up the broom and then got on it fast since the room was slowly crumbling around me and I didn't in particular fancy dying with my cousin's body next to me.
I fly up to the top of the room and look down at the mess that I had caused. Then another thought comes into mind: this will all be worth it once the war is done and we win it. We will win because that's the only option.

The Book

"What's the plan? You know this place better than me." I asked Sirius.

"We need to go around back. That's where the weak point is in the protection." Sirius says.

"But that's not the hard part, is it?" I asked.

"Nope, it's what traps lie inside." He replied.

"Great." I said sarcastically.

"If all goes as planned, we will get the book and get out," Sirius says.

"And if not, we are captured and probably killed." I said.

"Well, let's hope it's the first because I really don't want to die in Malfoy's home." Sirius says.

"Okay, let's do this." I said, after taking a deep breath.

"Let's do this," Sirius repeated.

Sirius and I walk up behind the house where the weak point is in the shield. I look over at Sirius and he looks at me.
