Even though Charlotte has just had a baby, she decided that she will go with the others to get the rest of the Horcruxes. It took a lot of persuasion, but Harry finally caved in.

All Charlotte could think about was Elizabeth and her safety at St Mungo's and couldn't wait for the day when they could go pick her up.

Right now, Charlotte is standing beside Luna as she gazes out the open window, she calmly pointed out.

"It's beautiful here."

Charlotte smiled and Bill, who was in the kitchen with Fleur, responded.

"It was our aunt's, we used to come here as kids, the Order also uses it now as a safe house, what's left of us, at least."

Lottie tried to brighten the room by amusedly speaking.

"After all these years of visiting this cottage, I never thought I'd have a baby here, albeit unconscious."

It seems as though her trying didn't work as it was just silent, well, that was until Luna spoke again as Harry creeped up behind Charlotte and wrapped an arm around her body, his hand resting on her stomach, even though there is no bump.

"Muggles think these keep evil away, but they're wrong."

Harry let out a breath and announced as he kissed Lottie's cheek.

"I need to talk to the Goblin."

Ron and Hermione heard and agreed, so Charlotte patted Luna's arm and the four of them walked to the room where Griphook was staying, when they entered, they saw him sitting in a chair with his hands clasped together and his eyes were closed. The four stood awkwardly near the door until Harry asked curiously.

"How are you?"

Griphook's eyes opened and he let out a little sigh before responding.

"Alive."

An awkward tension was roaming around the room and it made Charlotte a little uncomfortable, but Harry went on talking again.

"You probably don't remember-"

Griphook interrupted him.

"That I showed you to your vault the first time you came to Gringotts?"

Harry walked over to the window as the goblin continued.

"Even amongst goblins you're famous, Harry Potter, where's the baby?"

Charlotte looked at him and cleared her throat as she answered.

"St Mungo's."

He hummed and muttered about them bringing him here, he then went on to say that Harry was an unusual wizard. Harry just stood there awkwardly as Griphook asked him another question.

"How did you come by this sword?"

They all glanced at the sword and Harry replied quickly.

"It's complicated."

The goblin stared hard at Harry as he wasn't impressed with his answer, but faulted a little when Harry asked sternly.

"Why did Bellatrix Lestrange think it would be in her vault at Gringotts?"

Griphook retorted back smartly.

"It's complicated."

As much as the Goblin annoyed Charlotte, she was impressed with his sass. She could also see that Harry was getting frustrated as he explained roughly.

"The sword presented itself to us in a moment of need. We didn't steal it."

Griphook looked to be thinking about something, until he pointed to the sword and announced slyly.
