"Are you sure that's her hair?"
"No Ron...it's the hair of the other woman who tortured me...of course I'm sure!"
"Well come on drink it so we can go." Ron pushed Hermione as she glared at him.
"He's right...we don't have all day..." Griphook said waiting for Harry to pick him up and put him on his shoulders to hide under the cloak. Hermione changed Ron's face a bit to where he looked a lot rougher like a death eater.
"Shut it you two just get under the cloak," Hermione said as she drunk the potion and started changing into Bellatrix. Once it was done she turned to them and in her best Bellatrix voice asked, "So how do I look?"
"Hideous..."
"Perfect...time to go," Hermione said and they disapparated into Diagon Alley which sadly now looked more like knock turn alley.
Ron whispered out, "Let's go..."
Before they could take too many steps they were stopped by a voice.
"Do my eyes deceive me or is that Bellatrix Lestrange!"
Hermione turned around and racked her brain for a name to the face when she remembered a poster from long ago. "Travers...what do you want..." Hermione said coldly like Bellatrix.
"Nothing nothing...just thought the most favored Death Eater was on confinement to the manor last I heard... due to an error made..."
"And the person telling baseless lies shall get their tongue cut out. Was it you."
"No no just the message boy today and heading to Gringott's myself. Where are you heading?"
"Bussiness from the Lord to Gringotts to remind them who's in charge here."
"Then I will escort you!"
"I need no escort!" Hermione acting like Bellatrix stomped ahead and Travers walked behind her.
"Anyway, who's the new guy?"
"Found him in Russia...does speak English, but good enough with spells. Even the ones I like..."
As they approached the bank the first set of security was up. "What's this?"
"New security measures now...got in last week. They are Probity Probes Rods, they detect the presence of Concealment spells and magical items. Easy enough to get past with certain spells." Traver's explained.
Harry while Travers was talking charmed the rods to let everyone pass and they all enter. Travers stopped at one counter. "This is where I leave you, Madam Lestrange."
Hermione ignored him and continued walking to the central service counter.
Once Hermione stopped her cleared her throat, "I wish to enter my vault!"
"Identification?"
"I hardly think that would be necessary," Hermione stated coldly as the goblin looked up.
"Madam Lestrange...what a...surprise. I'm afraid I'm still going to have to ask for identification...like your wand..."
"I WILL NOT LET A FILTHY GOBLIN TOUCH MY WAND! HOW DARE YOU!" Hermione started screaming which let Harry walk up to the Goblin and Imperio him.
"Vary well follow me!" the Goblin said and got off its chair and walked off.
"Oh..." Hermione straightened up and followed the goblin to a rail cart and got in setting off.
"That's was brilliant, Hermione!" Ron shouted.
"It was quite good wasn't it!" Hermione yelled over the roaring cart going at top speed.
"GRIPHOOK...WHAT'S THAT!" Harry shouted pointing to a waterfall.
"New security!" He tried to stop the cart, but it was too late...they hit the water and the disguises fell apart turning them back to normal. The cart stopped now and a small alarm was going off in the cart. The floor suddenly disappeared and they fell to the ground. Luckily Harry stopped them from their death.
"It wipes all magic for imposters...we don't have long now...they know someone broken in. Come on..." Griphook said and started walking as Ron imperioed the other goblin again and followed after. Down a few hallways, there was a clearing. "The vaults are right there we just have to get past the Dragon."
"HOW?!" Ron shouted.
Griphook rolled his eyes and grabbed a metal instrument. "This is a clanker it's been trained to fear it." Griphook started shaking it and the Dragon back-up in fear. Soon they were at the vault and Ron put the mind-controlled goblin hand to the door and it opened.
"Try not the touch anything it's been cursed that whoever not from the Lestrange name touches it, it will multiple and burn you. It would fill up so much it would crush the intruders to death." Griphook explained.
"How on Earth are we going to find something gold in here?" Ron questioned.
Hermione closed her eyes, "as much as I don't like it...Harry, you connect to it correct. Now would be a good time to connect to it."
Harry nodded and closed his eyes concentrating. He moved his head until he found it. He pointed and opened his eyes. "It's up there!"
"I guess we have to make it multiple after all..." Ron said and started picking up gold and throwing it toward where they had to climb.
"Damn it really does burn..." Ron shouted.
"Come on!" Harry yelled and soon the three were climbing and being burned by lots of gold. Finally, Harry grabbed the cup and fell from the pile they made, and soon more gold was multiplying. "We have to get out of here!"
Harry tripped and dropped the cup. Griphook picked it up.
"GRIPHOOK!" Harry shouted.
"The CUP FOR THE SWORD!" he yelled.
"Harry angrily threw it toward him and Griphook threw the cup to Hermione who caught it and put it in her bag."
"YOU PROMISED!"
"I PROMISED TO GET YOU IN! I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT GETTING YOU OUT!" Griphook grinned and left with the mind-controlled goblin.
Ron angrily stormed out from the pile determined to punch the goblin. The other two followed after. They were stopped at spells where being shot at them and they ducked behind a pillar.
"WHAT DO WE DO?" Ron yelled.
Hermione looked around..."I have an idea but it's mad..."
"Well better than being here!"
Hermione nodded and took off down a hall and the two followed as they entered the chamber where the dragon was. Hermione jumped up onto the dragon. "WELL COME ON!"
"THERE'S RUNNING AND FLYING FROM A DRAGON...BUT RIDING ONE!" Ron yelled.
"Have a better idea?!" Hermione shouted as a spell flew above them.
"THOUGHT NOT! GET ON!" Hermione yelled and the two boys jumped onto the dragon. They aimed their wands at the chains and released them. The dragon soon was running up toward the light and burst out of the floor and out of the glass. The dragon took a few breaths of fresh air before below it was struck by another spell and it took off. Soon the three were flying in the sky above Diagon Alley and away.
"WE NEED TO GET OFF SOON BEFORE IT REALIZES IT HAS FOOD ON ITS BACK!" Ron yelled.
"IT'S BEEN FLYING FOR A WHILE NOW IT WILL NEED WATER SOON! WE JUMP ONCE IT REACHES THAT WATER!" Hermione yelled back.
After thirty more minutes Harry pointed, "YOU WERE RIGHT! IT'S DROPPING! WE NEED TO JUMP!" As they were slowly approaching the lake.
"OKAY ON THREE! ONE! TWO! THREE!" Harry shouted and the three jumped off and into the water. They swam to the shore and got out bruised, battered, burned, but the cup with them. Once Harry laid down he had a vision and shot up.
"We have to move..."
"What did you see?" Hermione question.
"He knows were after the Horcruxes. I know one of the last ones is at Hogwarts. He's going to check on the others he thought were safe. And he's keeping Nagini close to him."
"So Hogwarts?" Ron questioned.
"Hogwarts," Harry nodded.
