Project H and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

By Project H

Part 1

*Hogwarts*

Students: *Marching*

Snape: Once we teach them to do that while playing musical instruments, this school will really be kickin'

-
*Shell Cottage*

Harry: I need to talk to the goblin

Bill: He has a name, you know

Harry: Fine, I need to talk to...Mr Goblin

*Griphook's room*

Harry: Hello Mr Goblin. You probably don't remember-

Griphook: Your name? Not at all. You wizards all look the same to me. Are you the know-it-all female?

Harry: No. I'm Harry

Griphook: You buried the elf, and brought me here. If you expect me to be your replacement house elf, I refuse to wear the pillowcase

Harry: That's not it at all

Griphook: Fine, I'll wear the pillowcase

Harry: No no, I wanted to ask you about the sword

Griphook: How did you come by this sword?

Harry: The sword presented itself to us in an hour of need. And by 'hour of need' I mean 'month of sitting confused in a tent'

Griphook: There is a sword in Madam Lestrange's vault identical to this one

Harry: That's great, I collect fake swords. Think you can get us into one of the vaults?

Griphook: That is impossible. It could not be done. Completely out of the question. There is simply no way

Harry: We'll give you the sword

Griphook: I'm in! Let's do it

-
*Outside Ollivander's room*

Hermione: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Harry: Yeah, that little guy was adorable. I'm gonna hug him before we get to Gringotts

Hermione: I meant that there's a Horcrux in Bellatrix's vault

Harry: A Horcrux? A piece of Voldemort's soul?

Hermione: Yes. The things we're hunting down in order to kill him

Harry: Of course. The Horcruxes that we need to destroy to kill Voldemort. We're taking them out one by one

Hermione: And they could be anything. And one of them may be in Bellatrix's vault

Ron: So just so everyone's clear – we're on a quest to find the pieces of Voldemort's soul, or "Horcruxes", and must destroy them in order to kill him. And we're going to break into Bellatrix's Gringotts vault to find one

Harry: Good team meeting

Fleur: You can speak to Ollivander, but he's very weak

Harry: That's alright, we just need to ask him a few things before we go after our next Horcrux

Ron: What the hell is a Horcrux?

-
*Ollivander's room*

Harry: Mr Ollivander, would you mind identifying this wand?

Ollivander: Walnut, dragon heartstring, this belonged to Bellatrix Lestrange

Harry: It's so incredible that you're able to work that out

Ollivander: She's written her name on it

Harry: Oh...how about this one?

Ollivander: Hawthorn, greasy blonde pureblood hair, this was the wand of Draco Malfoy

Harry: Was?

Ollivander: I sense its allegiance has changed. It's telling me...what's that, wand? You want me to kill all of them? I couldn't do that. Not all of them...

Harry: You talk about wands like they can think for themselves

Ollivander: The wand chooses the wizard, Mr Potter – that's why people with cold hands never get to become wizards

Harry: What do you know about the Deathly Hallows?

Ollivander: What is this – a pop quiz? What do you know about the Deathly Hallows?

Harry: That Voldemort has the Elder Wand because of information you gave him

Ollivander...

Harry:...

Ollivander:...uh, it's the wand that chooses the-

Harry: Spare me. One final question though – why are you wearing a pillow case?

Ollivander: Say hello to your new house elf

-
*Outside the Cottage*

Ron: You're sure that's Bellatrix's hair?

Hermione: Positive

Ron: Alright then, I'll be Bellatrix. I'm the only one here who can walk in heels

*One hour later. Because even though polyjuice potion has to sit for several weeks, Bill and Fleur keep it on tap*

HermyBella: How do I look?

Ron: Not as good as I would have

Harry: Good thing we had a Bellatrix costume. And you guys all made fun of me when I decided to dress as her for Halloween. Who looks stupid now?

-
*Knockturn Alley*

Harry: Alright Hermione, this will need your best Bellatrix impression

Man: Hello Ms Lestrange

HermyBella: And good morning to you, fine sir. Bless your beautiful heart. May your day be as magical as a field of unicorns

Harry: Want to try harder?

HermyBella: And you're fat!

Harry: Perfect

*Gringotts*

HermyBella: I wish to enter my vault. My vault being Bellatrix's vault, because I am Bellatrix

Goblin: Certainly Madam Lestrange. Would you mind presenting your wand?

Harry: Well that certainly won't be a problem since we have the wand and can-

HermyBella: No

Harry: Wah?

HermyBella: I am Bellatrix and I will not show you Bellatrix's wand. Boy do I love Voldemort

Harry: Imperio

Goblin: *Imperio-d* Please come this way Madam Lestrange and Harry Potter

Harry: Whoops. Gotta be more careful about what I make him say

Goblin: Whoops. Gotta be more careful about what I make him say

HermyBella: Harry, what are you doing?

Harry: Give me a break. It's my first time using that spell

HermyBella: Pathetic

Goblin: Hermione sure is a know-it-all bitch

HermyBella: Harry!

Harry: That one was on purpose

*Gringotts-coaster*

Ron: Weee! This is absurdly fun for a bank

Security waterfall: *Whoosh*

Cart: *Drops everyone*

Harry: Oh no Hermione, you look like you again. We've got enough problems without having to look at your face

Hermione: And now we've got no way to travel through Gringotts. We've just been dumped off at a random location with no way of knowing where Bellatrix's vault is. Oh wait, it's right there

Goblin: What the devil are all you doing down here?

Hermione: Oh be quiet, Harry

Harry: Not me anymore

Goblin: Thieves!

Harry: Imperio

Goblin: *Imperio-d* That Harry sure is a fine looking wizard

Harry: Oh no, he must be overpowering the spell

Goblin: So very powerful and strong. And so much smarter than Hermione

Harry: I'm losing control!

Hermione: Knock it off, Harry

Goblin: Fine, be a jerk

Dragon: Grrr

Griphook: *Shakes clankers* It's been trained to expect pain when it hears the noise

Hermione: That's barbaric

Ron: You'd have to be a pretty stupid creature to be afraid of a sound

Hermione: Exams!

Ron: *Writhes in pain* OH GOD NO!

-
*Bellatrix's vault*

Ron: Is it here, Harry? Can you feel anything?

Cup: Psst, Harry

Harry: What's that, cup? You want me to kill all of them?

Treasure: *Multiplies*

Griphook: Gemino curse. Everything you touch will multiply

Ron: *Touches Hermione* Hey, it's not working

Harry: *Touches everything, and climbs it*

Griphook: *Catches cup*

Harry: We had a deal, Griphook. And if you don't give me the cup, I can't go back on it and cheat you out of the sword

Griphook: The cup for the sword

Harry: *Throws sword*

Griphook: *Throws up. I mean, throws cup* I said I'd get you in. I didn't say anything about getting you out

Harry: *Gets out* No worries

Dragon: Grrr

Security guards: Grrr

Harry: Oh yeah, those worries

Hermione: We can't just stand here. Who's got an idea?

Ron: I bet Hermione does

Hermione: You're right, she does! Everyone on the dragon

Harry: Oh come on, Hermione. That's your idea every time

Everyone: *On the dragon*

Hermione: Relashio!

Chains: *Are relashed*

*Meanwhile, in the Gringotts foyer*

Goblin 1: I can't help but think I'm wasting money. Yesterday I renewed the bank's fire insurance. There are never fires in Diagon Alley

Goblin 2: It's better to be safe than sorry

Goblin 1: True. And I saved us a heap by getting rid of that useless dragon insurance

Dragon: *Smashes through floor*

Goblin 1:...

Goblin 2: Let's burn the place down

Dragon: *Breaks free, and enjoys the fresh air and freedom from abuse after years of being locked away*

Hermione: Explodo!

Dragon: *Screams and flies*

Ron: That's barbaric!

Hermione: No, it's OK this time because it benefits me

Ron: Fair enough

-
*Far away*

Harry: We're dropping, let's jump. 3...2...1...JUMP!

Hermione: *Jumps*

Ron: *Jumps*

Harry: *Doesn't jump* Actually I'm wrong. Still too dangerous

Hermione and Ron: *Plummet and scream*

*Minutes later, on land*

Harry: *Dreams*

Voldemort: Nyah!

Rowena Ravenclaw: Nyah!

Hogwarts: Nyah!

*End Dream*

Harry: He knows! You-Know-Who. He knows we're hunting Horcruxes

Hermione: You let him into your mind? Harry, you can't do that

Harry: I can't help it. Except when I can. Which is almost always. It kind of tickles

Ron: What happened?

Harry: He's angry

Ron: That doesn't sound like the Voldemort I know

Harry: *Starts undressing* He knows if we find and destroy all the Horcruxes we'll be able to kill him, so he's one step ahead of Ron

Ron: *Starts undressing* What's a Horcrux?

Harry: And one of them is at Hogwarts. Something to do with Ravenclaw, and Hogwarts, and Ginny arriving at my dormitory wearing only...no wait, I'm combining separate dreams. Just Ravenclaw and Hogwarts. We have to go there now

Hermione: Well then we'll have to work out a plan

Harry: Hermione, when have any of our plans actually worked? We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose. So let's not plan at all

Hermione: OK then, that'll be the plan – don't plan

Harry: Damn it, you're right. How can we have no plan? How can we make sure we have absolutely no idea what we're doing?

Hermione: Put Ron in charge

Harry: Brilliant! Ron, what should we do?

Ron:...Hogsmeade!

Harry: Good idea. We'll travel there as soon as Hermione has a chance to get undressed and change

Hermione: I think I'm fine in my current clothes

Harry: No no, me and Ron changed, now you

Hermione: I really don't-

Harry: Sounds like you planned to not get changed

Ron: Damn it Hermione! You're ruining the Horcrux mission! Take your clothes off or the world is doomed!

-
*Gringotts*

Voldemort: *In parseltongue* The boy has discovered our secret, Nagini. I thought killing this bank of goblins would cheer me up, but it didn't

Nagini: Would it cheer you up if we killed another bank of goblins?

Voldemort:...it might

-
*Meanwhile*

Hermione:...

Harry:...

Ron:...seriously Hermione, we're not leaving until you get changed

Hermione: Shut up and take my hand

Ron: Works for me

Hermione: To apparate

Ron: Oh...good
