[HP] Missy and Mischief

Chapter 86 Gringotts

They finally knew the origin of the note.

Someone was aware of Voldemort's evil Horcruxes for immortality earlier and more acutely than Dumbledore, and replaced them at the cost of his life, but they knew it too late, so that a young hero died Decades in icy lake water.

In No. 12 Grimmauld Place, everyone involuntarily turned their gazes to Sirius. He stood beside Narcissa Black, his silver-gray eyes were blank, and his handsome face lost its luster—his most trusted As a person, Dumbledore's words probably hit him more than the shock he heard about the deaths of James and Lily back then.

"This is impossible……"

Sirius Black repeated the same sentence over and over again, but in front of the familiar handwriting, Kreacher's testimony, and two almost identical lockets, his resistance was like soap bubbles unwilling to accept reality, and he flicked Poke it and it breaks.

He tried to recall the silent, timid brother.But the time has been too long, so long that Regulus's appearance still stays in the photo posted in his room on the second floor, so young - so full of vitality.

During the happiest seven years of school in Sirius' life, Regulus was like a lingering shadow, to whom he was forever compared.The whole family pinned their hopes on the youngest son of Slytherin, because he was not as rebellious as Sirius... But Sirius couldn't remember clearly, when he was walking down the school corridor with the robber, Ray Where is Er?Where had Rael been when he and James rode their motorcycles through the Muggle streets?

He remembered that sometimes when Gryffindor played Slytherin, Remus would gently remind him "Padfoot, your brother seems to have been chosen as Slytherin's Seeker, is he looking at you?" ?”, how did he answer at that time?

— "Ah, so what, we're here to see how James leads Gryffindor to victory. Who cares about him."

From the year when he received the roaring letter, Sirius got used to locking himself in the room after returning home, and did not have any contact with any family members at all.

For a long time, he hated Slytherin more than anything else, and would even break the window out of his bedroom and spend the night in Godric's Hollow.It wasn't until he was escorted into Azkaban and heard from other Death Eater prisoners that Regulus had been killed because he defected, that he was in a trance for a moment.

"How could Regulus do such a thing? Isn't he the one who admired Voldemort the most? How could he have the courage to fight against Voldemort..."

Now that he knew the truth, he would rather what he heard was the truth.How much determination did Regulus, a cowardly child who followed behind him and called his brother, embark on the road of voluntarily dying to destroy Voldemort?

Maybe Rael was braver than him.

"He—has he turned into an infernal corpse now?" Narcissa asked softly, looking at the small portrait at the end of the wall tapestry.

Her face was so pale that it seemed to glow white in the light, and her long golden hair fell back, making her look like a drowned person.

"I'm sorry, we failed to bring back little Mr. Black's body," Dumbledore said heavily, "In order to get rid of those ghouls, I had to use a powerful magic to destroy everything including the Black Lake. Everything where it was."

Fiercefire would have burned all traces of it, and in the red-gold flames the young hero had vanished along with all the other innocents Voldemort had brutally murdered.

"You don't want to see what an Inferi looks like," Grindelwald said calmly (everyone present still couldn't get used to such a famous dark wizard standing among them), "bloated, disgusting, and a little rotten ..."

"……do not talk."

Black's thin figure disappeared.

He took the last note left by his own brother and disappeared behind the room on the second floor with the RAB nameplate. The door panel closed with a "bang", blocking everyone's sight.

………………

In inheriting Regulus' behest, Narcissa Malfoy showed an unexpected positiveness to everyone.If she originally exchanged benefits with Dumbledore temporarily to protect Draco, then she is really helping the Order of the Phoenix now—even if the risk involved is no less than that of replacing Horcruxes back then.

She got the hair of Bellatrix and Rodolphus from Malfoy Manor, which was the most important ingredient in the Polyjuice Potion they needed to enter Gringotts.

Now, the two people who appeared on the flagstones of Diagon Alley were the Lestranges, not Narcissa and Sirius.

In the twilight morning light, Sirius looked at the people next to him, and a feeling of disgust emerged in his heart - Narcissa's imitation of her own sister was so similar.With the long, wavy black hair, the big eyes with swollen lids, and that look of contempt with the chin up, he'd bet any goblin couldn't see the problem.

"If you want to regret it now, there is still time. Seriously, Andromeda looks exactly like that crazy woman, and she is very happy..."

"Then you will be seen through before you even enter the gate of Gringotts." Narcissa said coldly, with a hint of decisive madness in her tone.In terms of appearance, she is the most mediocre of the three Black sisters, but in terms of character, she is closer to Bellatrix than Andromeda.

She continued in a low voice: "Even if I was found out, it wouldn't matter—after they went to prison, I was Bella's designated heir to the property, and the Ministry of Magic gave me the key to her vault—and you, you will Torn to pieces by goblins."

The streets of Diagon Alley were quiet, they came too early, there were almost no people on the street, and normal voices seemed too loud.Many shops have put up "closed" wooden signs, and some have completely turned into black magic item stores, as if they are changing towards Knockturn Alley.

Amelia Burns is already doing her best to keep Britain's wizarding world stable, but the fear of the Dark Lord has overwhelmed people's confidence in normal life.

Many ragged beggars huddled together, like passing wizards begging for Nat, and emphasized that they were homeless after being attacked by Death Eaters.When they saw Narcissa and Sirius, they seemed to see Satan parading around, and scattered in horror.

As if they didn't see the menace they posed, they walked quickly down the cobbled street, approaching the snow-white tower that stood high among the small shops-Gringotts.In front of the bronze gate, two wizards in uniform waited quietly for them to climb the marble steps with a slender golden rod.

"Honesty Detectors," Sirius said in a whisper, "wait a minute, I'll get rid of them with the Confusion Charm."

The two guards were slightly shocked by the spell. Taking advantage of this time, they quickly walked into the inner hall behind the bronze door.Sirius is carrying the alchemy item given by Dumbledore, which cannot be scanned by the detector.

Behind the long counter, goblins are sitting on high stools, some are weighing gems and gold coins, and some are holding feathers to write accounts... They walked towards the old goblin at the end, who was holding Examining the facets of the diamond with a gold magnifying glass, she looked surprised when she saw Narcissa and Sirius.

"Mr. Lestrange and Mrs. Lestrange!" said the goblin respectfully. "Ah! You—what can I do for you today?"

"Pick up the goods." Narcissa said arrogantly and impatiently, seeming disgusted with dealing with these long-fingered guys.However, it could be seen that these goblins were used to Bellatrix's attitude and did not show any abnormality.

But the old goblin who got the little golden key rubbed the key repeatedly with slightly trembling hands, and didn't say whether it was right or wrong. He gripped the key nervously, and stretched his other hand under the counter——

The hearts of Narcissa and Sirius tensed at the same time - Gringotts must have got the news!It seems that Dumbledore's guess is right, there must be a Horcrux in the vault of the Lestrange family!

Narcissa took a deep breath, slightly moved the hand holding the wand under the robe, and pointed at the elf, her lips moved silently: "Imperio (out of body)!"

The goblin immediately changed his attitude, returned the key with both hands respectfully, and said obsequiously: "Of course...it's no problem at all...I'll take you there right away."

The old goblin named Bogorod jumped off the high stool with a skill that was not suitable for his age, took a small jingling leather bag from the other goblins, bowed to them, and took the two Passed through the rough stone corridor and got on a small cart.

"To my surprise, I thought you wouldn't have the Unforgivable Curses—" Sirius muttered.

"I'm also from the Black family." Narcissa glanced at her younger brother contemptuously, "You can't even compare to me in terms of black magic."

Sirius snorted and decided not to bother with her.He took out a beautifully made snuff bottle from the pocket of his robe, opened the lid, and a puff of green smoke floated out from the mouth of the bottle.

As the trolley whizzed forward and turned around along the maze-like corridors, the blue smoke seemed to freeze in the air, leaving long trails behind them.The trolley kept turning between stalactites and stalagmites. No one could remember such a complicated route, but with the alchemy props given by Dumbledore, they could return directly along the road marked by the road.

They stopped at the last corner.

A fire dragon was chained to the ground at the end. The scales on its body were already dull, and its eyeballs were covered with white clouds. Its two thick hind legs were chained to a huge stone pile with shackles.Its huge spiked wings were folded at the sides of its body, and Sirius even doubted that it hadn't spread its wings comfortably for many years.

The dragon turned its head towards them and let out a roar, and the golden-red fire spewed out, almost scorching their robes.

"Ah, let me think about it... Dumbledore said, you need to take the jingle-" Sirius pulled the small bag from Bogorod's hand, the goblin didn't respond, and let him take it meekly rattling metal utensils.Narcissa took one too.

They shook the jingle, and this time the dragon didn't breathe fire again, and cowered back. Sirius heard that it was because the goblins had done terrible things to dragons-they bought dragon babies from the Romanians , training with knives and jingles since childhood, and the trained dragons will be imprisoned in the dark underground to guard the vault for them, and then wait until the dragon is too old to move, and then sell the dragon's heartstrings, dragon blood and dragon skin at a high price...

Shameless goblins.He cursed a few times in his heart.

Under the effect of the Imperius Curse, Bogrod helped them open the vault of the Lestrange house.From the floor to the ceiling is full of gold coins, as well as all kinds of rare alchemy items and furs of magical creatures, all kinds of rare potions - even a bucket full of Felicia.

But the two people present were indifferent to this.One had reluctantly inherited all the Black property, and the other, the family vault was on the other side, and she knew the Malfoys had far more gold than this.

"What are we looking for?" Narcissa held Sirius back. "There are fire spells and copying spells in Gringotts' vaults. Anyone who isn't touched by the heir will be burned."

"A golden cup, a Hufflepuff's golden cup...or a Ravenclaw diadem?" Sirius picked the crown from a skull with a flick of his wand.But it was studded with precious stones, and there was no shadow of an eagle.

The gold and silver treasures cast with the fire curse emitted billowing heat as time went by, and sweat dripped down their cheeks. Narcissa tried her best to shoot at everything in the cave that matched Sirius' description, and at the same time sensed the surroundings with magic power. Something with a strong atmosphere of black magic.

Don't panic, Sissy.She said silently in her heart, you have heard of the Dark Lord's reward, Bella once proudly mentioned the honor she received... what is that...

"It's a golden cup! It's over there!" Narcissa pointed her wand at a small golden cup under three spotlights in the distance, shining golden light.

"...Damn it," Sirius said.

How are they going to get the highest gold cup without touching anything?

He took a deep breath, and Blake disappeared. Where he stood, there was a big dog with shiny black fur and pricked ears. After it whined, it signaled Narcissa to lift him up with a levitating spell—— Fortunately, she really understood the meaning of barking.

"Wingardium Leviosa (smooth levitation)!"

With its paws curled up, careful not to touch the sea of ​​hot gold, the great dog opened its jaws toward the goblet, and took hold of the Hufflepuff goblet by its stem, trapping it between its teeth.

And in the next second, the golden cup began to replicate and fall, the high temperature almost scalded Sirius' mouth several times, but he still held on to the cup until it landed smoothly and turned into a human form before spitting out the golden cup.

"Impedimenta (obstacles)." Narcissa raised her wand, trying to stop more and more replicas of the golden cup from approaching them.

Bogrod helped them out of the Lestrange vault, and they returned to the cart in which they had come.

"Did you hear anything?" Sirius said suddenly.

There was a muffled sound like thunder... But how could they hear thunder hundreds of feet underground?

For a moment, Narcissa felt cold all over.They were really discovered by goblins!The Dark Lord had warned them beforehand!

The thunderous rumble was getting closer and closer, until it appeared at the end of their field of vision, and they realized that it was not thunder, but the sound of water—the fairies opened the development potion pool!The rushing water rushes down the track, splashing out monstrous waves.

"No!" Narcissa screamed, and water filled their eyes and mouths.

Bellatrix and Rodolphus were gone. Under the influence of the potion, they turned back into Narcissa and Sirius. They were completely submerged in the water, and their black cloaks floated in the corridor like water plants.

"Quick—become an Animagus!" Narcissa choked.

She pushed Sirius violently, hoping that he would turn into a black dog and escape with the current.

"Imper...vius (waterproof and moistureproof)," Sirius chanted the mantra, "Bubble-HeadCharm (bubble-headcharm)."

But the bubble head curse can only last for a short time, and they are finished after the magic power is exhausted.The smoke when they came was dispersed by the current, and it was impossible for them to swim out directly——

"Roar! Huh... Gululu." There was a louder sound of choking water not far away.

Suddenly Sirius' eyes lit up.

He dragged Narcissa, swam up to the dragon, raised his wand and shouted at its heavy shackles: "Relashio!" With a loud noise, the shackles broke.

"What are you doing!" Narcissa yelled sharply, "If you think being bitten by a dragon is better than being drowned in water—"

"Shut up, come up!" Sirius rudely interrupted her, stepped on the dragon's hind legs and climbed onto the dragon's back, holding the goblin with one hand and Narcissa with the other, pulling her Pulled on the dragon's back.

Ukrainian Iron Belly seemed to realize that the shackles that bound it had disappeared. With a roar, the giant dragon choked on a few mouthfuls of water and scratched the rock with its sharp claws.The stones of the passageway fell wildly, and Sirius held up his wand, helping it blast more tunnels - and the door of the vault of the Lestrange house, and the gold coins leaked into the water like a mudslide.

Finally, under their unremitting efforts, the brute force of the dragon interacted with the spell, and the roof of the cave finally shattered and collapsed. They seemed to feel the freedom and the space ahead, and the dragon carried them to the fresh air above.

Amidst the horrified screams of goblins and wizards, Ukrainian Ironbelly finally spread its impossibly wide wings, and they soared into the air in Diagon Alley.

Below them, jets of water shot up from the gap, and the pressure engulfed mountains and seas of treasure, raining gold coins over Gringotts.The old goblin was thrown over the fountain by them, and when he woke up, he was still holding on to a gold coin.

The beggars who had been displaced by the Death Eaters frantically picked up Galleons.They didn't know that it was Bellatrix's property, and if they knew, they would probably be happier than they are now—

But the blind Ukrainian iron belly still took the two of them flying in the sky, rising higher and higher, and London was like a gray and green carpet.Sirius grabbed the metallic dragon scales, his mouth widened and he laughed wildly. The cool wind poured into his burnt lips, which was very comfortable.

Narcissa held his arm tightly, afraid of falling, sharply reprimanded Sirius for his audacity and arrogance: "How dare you—how dare you ride a dragon—we will fall to our death in the sky at a height of nine hundred feet of!"

"It won't be a problem," Sirius even let go of the dragon scale. His long black hair was blown back by the wind, and the water droplets even fell on Narcissa's face. The maddening feeling of splashing water.

He said briskly: "For me, adventure is the only thing that's interesting—think of Harry, he rode a hippogriff, I'd have to be better than him to be a bit of a godfather—"

The dragon continued to rise, and he quickly grabbed the dragon scale.

In the cold high altitude, Ukrainian iron belly flew all the way north, farther and farther.The cars on the ground shrink into invisible dots, and the winding roads and rivers become interlaced ribbons.

At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, they even started talking like a pair of real siblings.

"You're not going back to Malfoy Manor again, are you?"

"Do you think I'll be as stupid as you are? Am I brainwashed, after blowing up Gringotts, swaggering back to them, waiting for the Dark Lord to give me a happy death, and throw the body to Nagini Extra meal?"

"I'm just asking!" Sirius defended, "And your son is at Hogwarts now, only you are the most dangerous, it's better to stay in Grimmauld Place!"

"I don't want to hear about Draco from you," Narcissa said sharply, "my son - my only son - has been spoiled by you Gryffindors! He's only sixteen , I just want to join the Order of the Phoenix! It's too dangerous!"

"Sixteen? Harry's only sixteen! He's faced Voldemort more than once!" Sirius said angrily.

The dragon began to descend, and the dark green mountains and lakes approached them. It seemed that it had never bathed comfortably like other dragons in its decades of imprisonment. It saw the reflection of the sun. lake water.

The two people on the dragon's back were still shouting, and the voice echoed in the valley.

"Because he's the savior! Draco's not like him—he's not!"

"So what?" Sirius retorted loudly, "I admit that your son is not as bastard as I thought, but he is my godson now!"

"You—how dare you!"

In Narcissa's screams, they were thrown off the dragon's back by Ukrainian Iron Belly.They fell towards the lake, hitting the lake heavily, and splashing the sky.

The bad thing was that Narcissa couldn't swim, and Sirius had a hard time dragging her to the edge of the lake.They struggled through reeds and silt until they reached the slippery grass by the lake.

"You—you can't swim, why did you push me up there when you were at Gringotts?" Sirius gasped, drying the water off his robes with his wand.

Narcissa spat out water, took a big breath, and didn't answer him.Her current embarrassed appearance was far from the dignified and indifferent Mrs. Malfoy in her impression. She looked more like the Sissy sister who would laugh and fight with him many, many years ago.

Just when Sirius thought he would never hear the answer again, Narcissa's voice sounded:

"I can't lose another brother."

The author has something to say:

Late update, two in one.

The Ukrainian Ironbelly who guards the vault is the kind of dragon that the herbal movement flies in.
