Changing My Life

Chapter 26: Make The Plan, Execute The Plan, Throw The Plan Out, & GTFO

"So, what'd you two come up with?" Harry asked the two.

"Well I think I have a great plan but Granger here doesn't agree." Draco commented.

"Because it's illegal and idiotic!" She exclaimed. One of Harry's rose.

"You do realize that most of what were doing is illegal, right?" Harry asked.

"I-I, of course but that doesn't mean we have to make it even more illegal!" She stammered. Harry sighed before turning his head to face Draco.

"What'd ya thinking?"

"Granger goes in, asks to visit her vault. You accompany under your invisibility cloak, that you can't deny you have because I know you do." Draco answered.

"What about you? What do you do?" Harry questioned.

"I go with Granger. I'm not allowed to do magic but that doesn't mean I can't go into Gringotts. Anyway, after a goblin comes to take Granger, we follow until we reach the carts. Then you cast the imperious curse on the goblin and tell him to take us where we want to go and that he can't tell anyone." Draco finished.

"You want me to cast an unforgivable?" Harry asked cautious.

"Oh drop the act Potter. I know you are not nearly as innocent as you appear to be." Draco sneered.

"You're right. I don't care that it's an unforgivable. But I know that doesn't mean it's dark magic. I don't believe in dark magic, nor light magic. It's all just magic. It's the intent that can change it. Intent is what matters. Though I do know that some spells require great hate to cast them. And the imperious isn't one of them. So say I cast it, what's the plan to get out?" Harry asked.

"The same thing. You tell him to take us back up, you hide again. Then Granger and I leave the bank as if we got what we came for." Draco answered.

"And we get the power tools in how?" Harry inquired.

"Grangers special magic bag."

"See it's an idiotic plan, that practically everything could go wrong with!" Hermione blurted out.

"That's why I think it'll work." Harry stated.

"What?!" "Seriously?" Hermione and Draco both exclaimed at the same time, respectively.

"Quite. We don't need an over the top complex plan. A complex plan makes everything more difficult." Harry told them.

"So when do we do it?" Draco questioned.

"Right now." Harry turned and left the study, leaving Draco and Hermione standing there flabbergasted. They looked at each other.

That's how they ended up in Gringotts with Harry under his cloak and Hermione and Draco waiting for a goblin to come take them to the vault.

A goblin appeared and gestured for them to follow him. They continued walking until they were about to enter the cart. Harry, even though he was under the cloak was blocked by a ward. He tried pushing threw but he couldn't and being invisible, Draco and Hermione couldn't tell that he wasn't in the cart.

As they left in the cart. Harry was stuck waiting there for them to get back.

In the cart, Hermione and Draco continued until they wound up at the vault. Only, Draco knew they should've have reached it yet. Realizing they weren't at the right vault he look at Hermione before mouthing 'Cast it.' She saw and knew what he meant. Looking back and forth between the goblin and Draco she frowned before taking a deep breathe and pointing her wand at the goblin.

"Imperio." She whispered. A wave of magic went over the goblin and his eyes glazed over. "Take us to Bellatrix LeStrange's vault." She commanded the goblin. The cart switched its track and continued in a downward descant, they were going at such an angle they could barely see anything. Hermione wasn't practically happy about the descent and around one unpredictable and sharp curve, she screamed and reached out, clenching down hard on someone's arm. That someone being Draco. He didn't react other than a rest eyebrow, that she noticed when she realized what she was doing before she let go of his arm and moved away from him.

Seconds later, the cart rolled to a stop and the goblin got out, followed by Draco and Hermione. Due to the wand id at the vault door they couldn't just open it up, so Hermione stunned the goblin before pulling all of the power tools out of her beaded bag. Draco looked at some of them before picking up the handheld laser drill. He looked utterly confused.

"Don't touch that!" Hermione scolded him when she noticed what he was holding. Eyebrows raised he set it down. Hermione used a levitation spell to put the jackhammer into place before applying the necessary sound damping charms and vibration cancellers before activating it. As it broke into the wall she used magic to hold it against the wall so it was in the correct position. After about five minutes of the constant use of the jack hammer she deemed it as good enough before turning it off and picking up the laser drill.

Hold the drill in place she turned it on to its highest intensity as it burned into the this solid stone walls. She moved the laser in a circle like shape as it slowly cut further into the wall for about five minutes. Turning it off, she put it back into her bag along with the rest of the power tools before pushing the cut out of the stone just enough for it to fall inwards, leaving a mostly circular hole in the wall. She sent Draco a look before stepping through the hole and into the vault.

"What're we looking for?" Draco asked as he stepped through the hole behind her.

"I don't know. Harry seems to have kept that information to himself and with him not with us… we'll just have to look around until we find something we think he might've been after." Hermione told Draco.

They had been searching for the past ten minutes but to no avail. They had searched the entire vault but couldn't find anything that might be worth while for Harry. When they met back up in at the entrance of the vault, they both confirmed what the other had, nothing. Knowing it was time to go they exiting the hole. Hermione faced where the stone was laying on the ground before using magic to move it back in to place and casting a repairing charm on the wall. She had been skeptical that it would work but as Harry said it would.

She revived the goblin before replacing him under the imperious and making him take them back up. Hardly five minutes later they were walking out of the bank. They hadn't run across Harry on their way back to they assumed he had returned to the manor. Hermione took out the portkey he gave her in cause they were separated and activated it taking herself and Draco back to the foyer of the manor. Where they say Harry sitting, waiting.

As soon as he saw them, he stood and walked over. "What did you find?"

"I'm sorry Harry, there was nothing but gold and heirlooms." Hermione broke the news to him. His eyes turned downcast. Draco moved past the two of them and made his way to his own room.

Harry had known it was a long shot but he still had to have tried.

"Now what?" Hermione inquired. Harry looked up with a fire in his eyes.

"Now we fight to end this war. Once and for all." He said in a dark tone before turning on his heel and going to his study.

A/N: Okay hey everyone so it's short I know. I had a bad case of writers block this week and this just seemed like this was where the chapter ended it's flow. Now, I've finally decided what to do about the horcrux's I've decided that they still will be a part of the story, but instead of the original seven we are going to go with another magical number, three. So there will be three horcrux's which included Harry, which is already gone. So know that there are two others, that may or may not be already destroyed. Anyway, hope you enjoyed, Happy Reading! -DS

Also, the poll is still open and up on my profile!
