Plans for a new robbery.
We had packed up the tent and now I was walking beside Edward with my arms wrapped around his waist. It wasn't the easiest way to walk, but it was comforting. We were all just chatting about things in general. Then I saw the big dip thing I slid down on my to find them.
"That is one steep dip there." Emmett said in his quest to point out the obvious.
"Thank you for your assessment of the situation." I said to him with a tone of complete seriousness. Then I proceeded to slide down and right back up the other side with as much grace as the first time. "Try that. Seriously, try that." so fun!
"Are you sure it's safe?" Emmett asked in his best impression of a scared child.
"If I, the 'weak' and 'helpless' human can do it, I think it's safe for a whopper of a vampire like you." the subtle compliment was the deciding factor. He did it with a loud shout of joy.
The rest followed soon after, laughing the entire time. We were now in the mood for some laughs, so we began sharing funny stories.
Like the time Emmett was arrested for putting blue dye in a swimming pool and then when he was in the cell shouting all sorts of stupid nonsense. Edward says that they were actually seriously thinking of putting him into therapy before he was bailed out.
Or the time me Fred and George went through an entire week hugging everyone we saw, teacher, Slytherin, or even Snape. He avoided us as much as possible during that week.
By the time we got back we were in hysterics and the sun was just setting. Shell Cottage was at the top of a cliff looking out over the sea. It was absolutely wonderful. We were all just sat on the edge of the cliff swinging our legs over the edge admiring the beauty of it all snuggling with our respective partners.
With the forest to our backs and the wide expanse of the sea, clearer than you often see it, with the light of the setting sun illuminating the water with such a beauty you could do little but just gaze at it.
Soon enough, the search party came out, just as the sun was hidden from view. They would probably not have noticed us if it weren't for the fact that Ron was commenting on the strangely shaped shadows.
I didn't want to go in quite yet, so I took my Firebolt from my bag. I handed my bag to Edward and threw my Firebolt from the cliff.
I ignored the incredulous stare from Ron, who thought this sort of thing to be worth a prison sentence, and dove off the cliff after it. I caught up quickly with my broom and was now balanced on my feet on the broom. At the very last moment I pulled up sharply, skimming the water with the end of the broom.
I did a few loops, since I have perfected the art of flying a broom while balanced on ones feet. Even though from the look of Edwards face especially I forgot to tell them I like to do things like that. They looked like they were about to jump in after me.
"Sorry guys, it was just staring me in the face, I had to do it." I gave Edward a hug and a 6 second kiss, but those 6 seconds just didn't seem long enough.
"So we didn't need to send out a search party after all. Come on lets get inside, Fluer's got dinner out." Bill said with a light tone.
After the French style dinner, the Cullen's, Griphook, Ron Hermione Harry and me all went off upstairs to plan the robbery. They just don't know it yet.
"While I was looking for the Cullen's, I was thinking about the last two, you know, and where they would be." Ron Harry and Hermione would know I meant the Horcruxes, the Cullen's too if Edward told them. "and I figured that one of them would be in the Malfoy's vault. Which is why we'll need Griphook. I've got Bella's wand so I can pretend to be her."
"That could work, but I require some form of payment. I won't do it for nothing." I just knew he would say that, goblins are so predictable.
"Would the Gryffindor sword be payment enough?" Griphook nodded with a creepy looking smile. Ron Harry and Hermione knew not to bother trying to change my mind. They know that if I do something like that I have a back up plan.
So plans were made to break into Gringotts, occasionally stopping to explain some things to the Cullen's. Like what Gringotts was. Or that I didn't have a split personality that had a wand.
When we woke up in the morning I found Jasper eying my Firebolt. I snuck up behind him and grabbed his shoulders. I said "Do you want a ride?"
"I kinda figured you'd hate me after you're birthday party." he said to me sullenly.
"No one noticed, but just as you were lunging for me my wand was already out and ready to stop you. You couldn't have got to me. And also do you really think I'm that bad as to hate you for your freakish vampire instincts?!" I shouted playfully.
Before I knew it I was engulfed in a hug by Jasper who was saying "I just never thought you'd be so forgiving."
I hugged for awhile longer before ending it by saying "so what about that ride I promised?"
He looked like a kid in a candy store. So I shouted in the direction of the house, "I'm taking Jasper on a test ride on my Firebolt! Back in 10!" before hopping on waiting only a couple seconds before Jasper was up behind me. Then just seconds before I was about to kick off I felt Jaspers arms unwrap themselves from my waist to be replaced with Alice's.
I craned my neck round to see what the heck was going on, and what I saw was Alice with her arms around my waist with Jaspers around hers. I laughed at the expression on their faces. "It's a good thing your so small Ali." Then I kicked off, going faster than I have seen even Edward go within mere seconds.
I went high up, just before we hit the clouds. When I looked down I could just make out Harry coming out with his Firebolt, now speeding towards us. I knew an invitation for a race when I saw one and gave him exactly that.
We didn't really have a finish line or a circuit to race, but we were beside each other the entire time, occasionally one of us pulled ahead for a couple of seconds before the other caught up again. I was a better flier, but I had two passengers whereas Harry was unburdened.
Our day continued like that, playing and messing about as if everything was normal, because tomorrow we were going to break into Gringotts.
I think I'm making up for the last chapter being so long with this one.
I have a couple of other stories started, and I've got a couple of chapters for each. Do you guys want me to put them up right now, and the chapters will hopefully be reasonably long, or wait til I've finished the stories? They're just things I use as a way to get to sleep, sad I know.
