Chapter forty : Insane.
"Oh Merlin you have to be joking." Hermione said looking at Harry and Draco. What they had planned was beyond stupid, maybe even insane.
"No, Hermione we aren't." Harry said folding his hands in front of him. "We think that is the best way to get to it if that is where it is."
"And lat me guess you want me to do it." She sighed in defeat as she buried her face in her hands.
"It's the Slytherin vault, you and Gin are permitted in no matter what." Harry continued.
"Your dad said at one point in the past few months that he had one of his most prized possessions in that vault." Draco said looking at his wife. "What would he cherish more than one of his last remaining Horcruxes"
"I guess nothing, well maybe me and Gin..." She sighed again. She didn't like where this whole thing was going. "And I am your only option, besides Ginny that is."
"Yes, we will be with you the whole time. It isn't like you would be going in alone." Draco told her.
"It's one of the oldest vaults, Draco, I'm sure by now that father will have put protections up against me and Gin."
"They cant keep out blood relatives of the person who first used it. It's really old magic and it takes a lot to arrange that. It was a lost knowledge after the Goblin rebellion." Draco said nonchalantly. It was obvious that he had been very good at History of Magic.
"Nerd." Hermione joked.
"You are a bigger one than I am, you really have no room to talk." He smirked and propped his head on his arm. "So, we start tomorrow." his smirk turned into his beautiful lopsided grin.
"Oh joy, isn't this going to be tons of fun." She said sarcastically as she got up from her seat at the kitchen table. She walked over to a cabinet and got a glass out of it then walked over to the water faucet and filled up the glass.
"What time?" She asked as she turned around to face them again.
"The crack of dawn, that way we wont run into to many Death Eaters." Harry said, he had put some thought into this plan. It wasn't as random and spontaneous as it all seemed.
"I will be there." She said right before taking a drink of her water. "But what if it isn't there?" She asked curiously, and it was a really good question.
"Then it's back to square one and he knows what we are looking for." Harry said rubbing his eyes. "And if he doesn't know what side you are on now, he will then." Hermione realized he was right, this decided everything, this was the deciding action.
OoOoOoOoO
"I don't like this one bit." Ginny said as she put on dark makeup. She had to look like someone from the other side.
"Nor do I Gin, but we have to do this Gin. We have to be Slytherin's." Hermione said as she finished up her make up. It was going to be a very interesting day. "And hopefully if someone sees us they will think that we are just as evil as father and there wont be any doubts."
"I guess you are right. You do generally tend to be right." She said putting on a black cloak that buttoned in the front and had a hood. "Hmm… I kind of like this look on me." She said looking at herself in the mirror. Black and Purple were two of her best colors.
Hermione rolled her eyes at her sister. "Yeah sure, Gin." She said smiling.
"Hurry up already!" Draco yelled up the stairs.
"Why are boys so impatient?" Ginny asked grabbing her wand off of the side table.
"I really don't think me you or anyone else will ever know…" Hermione said opening the door and heading down the stairs.
"Wow, you two really look the part." Draco said when they arrived at outside of the house.
"Of course we do." Both girls said in unison. "We really try."
"No, that isn't creepy at all, is it Harry?" Draco asked latching his arm with Hermione's. They would enter the ally together, Ginny on the other side of Hermione and Harry behind them; under his invisibility cloak of course.
"We should get going." Harry said after a moment and grabbed Ginny's hand, they all disappeared at the same time and all appeared in the middle of Diagon ally at the exact same time.
"Let the games begin." Hermione whispered quietly under her breath and took a step forward. It was show time.
OoOoOoOoO
Everybody in the Ally froze in place as the Riddle sisters and Draco Malfoy walked past them.
"That's them, that's 'his daughters.' a little girl whispered to her friend standing next to her.
"No one knows who they really are, it's said they went to school with us and that they weren't Slytherin's" Parvati whispered to Lavender.
"That, Parvati, Is very true. We talked to you quite often." Ginny said without looking at the two girls. She heard them gasp.
"Mi, I really don't like this." Ginny said not moving her lips.
"It will be over soon." She didn't hide her words, she knew that it would serve its purpose. Both sides could make of that what they wanted.
"Draco Malfoy." Someone said and they all turned swiftly to face the voice. The person behind them had shoulder length dusty brown hair and piercing pale blue eyes. She was stunning and Hermione gripped Draco's hand a little tighter.
"Astoria, It has been a long time." He said as politely as possible for a Death Eater.
"It really has, I haven't seen you since Merlin knows when." She smiled, but their was absolutely no warmth to it.
"Ah," She turned to Hermione and Ginny, "You must be The Dark sisters." Ginny and Hermione glanced at each other. They hadn't been aware that they had a title.
"Yes," Hermione said when she came to her senses a fey seconds later. "But do call me Mia, and my sister here is Gin." She smiled slightly.
"I am Astoria Greengrass, My sister is Daphne, I believe that you are the same age as her." Astoria said looking at Hermione. She really wasn't a nice person at all.
"Ah, yes I do believe that is correct. I have met her before." Hermione tried to think up something Slytherin like to say. "She didn't make my good list." Astoria paled a little, it looked as if she were genuinely frightened. "We really must be going, now." Hermione glided past her and Draco, Ginny and Harry quickly followed her. This was going well.
"Wow you really embraced your inner Slytherin." Draco whispered to her as they passed Olivander's wand shop… Well what was left of it.
"It's very simple when you don't like a person." Her words were no longer harsh they were soft and polite. "And as you now know, I really do not like her." Hermione blushed she now knew how it felt to be a Slytherin."
"Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Holloway?" He asked under his breath as she slapped his shoulder, "Only joking." He said quickly and he could have swore he heard her say 'good'.
"Wow!" Hermione said as they stepped into the vast entrance hall, it used to be modest and plain, but now it was extremely extravagant.
The walls were lined with gold and the chandeliers were made of Goblin cut crystals. The floors were made from pure marble and the walls were painted a rich green color with vertical silver lines painted on it.
"So this is what the world looks like now." Ginny said as her eyes met the goblin made suites of armor. Each one had glowing ruby eyes and wielded either a goblin mad sword or a bow and arrow set made from obsidian and phoenix feather.
"Remind me to get one of the bows when all of this is over." Hermione told Ginny as they walked over to one of the goblins.
"Sure thing sis." Ginny said smiling.
"What do you want?" The goblin demanded rudely.
"We would like to visit our family vault." Ginny said.
"Vault name…"
"Slytherin." Hermione said and the goblin glared at her.
"Now that is something you do not hear everyday." The goblin was very wary. "Name please." He said pulling out a very small list. They had the impression that he didn't believe them. Smart goblin he was.
"Hermia Lily Riddle and this is my little sister Ginny Alice Riddle." Hermione said proudly. Though it wasn't something to be proud of.
The goblin sighed, they were definitely on the list.
"First time visitors have to feel out a security form, they are questions we ask when you revisit. Also if you fill it out it verifies who you are." The creature said shoving two papers at them as well as a quill.
Ginny and Hermione glanced at each other as they looked over the questions… They were all very random and quite unnecessary. Hermione filled hers out:
Favorite color: Ice blue.
Favorite Literary work: Incantation
Coke or Pepsi: Pepsi
Favorite animal: Squirrel
Patronus: Otter
Animagus: None
If you were on a deserted island and could only take one thing in the whole world and mars, what would it be: Well, seeing as it would be a deserted island I really cant say that I could chose what I have with me, and seeing as I am a witch, I can apparate… But if I could choose and I didn't have a wand I would have my bag that has an extending charm on it, full of practical and impractical crap in it. Is that a good enough answer to your stupid question?
Favorite insect: Uhhh… Dragonfly…
Favorite planet: Jupiter.
Favorite type of weather: Rain…
Your password is: Ice blue Dragonfly Incantation…
Thank you for filling out this, as you call it, page full of stupid questions… And for the record I am not stupid, I am awesome. More awesome than you or Merlin will ever be…. Thank you again for you cooperation.
"Not weird at all." Hermione said looking over at Ginny's password "Pepsi Turquoise caterpillar Nargle…" Hermione said looking at it…
"I had a little fun with it…" She said laughing. I think I really irritated it.
"Follow me." A gruff voice said grabbing onto there sleeves and pulling them with it. It really sounded like the goblin should be saying, and I quote, 'Do the roar…'
"Drake." Hermione squealed in fear.
"Mia, I will be right here the whole time, don't worry." He said as they were all pushed into the little cart. Harry though had to sneak into it. "
"Vault number one." The goblin said and the cart began to slope downward. It was like one big muggle rollercoaster. It had twists, turns, loops and drops, it was all kind of nauseating. The sink feeling in their stomachs didn't go away so quickly. The pressure in the room seemed to weigh down on them and their ears were popping as the went through the extra security enforcments… They made it through with out a problem.
"I do not like this one bit." Ginny told Hermione and she leaned against invisible Harry.
"Me neither, but it will all be over soon and we can go home and get some rest." Hermione hoped she was right.
"Holy Adam Sandler." Ginny said, eyes wide as she looked at the contents of the vault. She had never seen so much stuff in such a giant vault.
There were piles and piles of gold coins, jewels and other valuable items. There were cups, chalices, goblets and wineglasses. Not to mention the ancient books, records and scrolls. The vault had just about everything under the sun.
'OH MY MERLIN!" Draco said in ecitement. Is that the very first broom that was ever ridden!" He ran over to a big Qidditch area and Harry soon followed.
"This is amazing." Hermione said picking up the most beautiful pearl necklace she had ever seen. "I could even take this… It's ours…" Hermione looked at it and placed it in her bag. It wasn't like she was stealing it. She knew her father wouldn't mind… well she wasn't positive of that.
"I never would have thought I would get to see the Slytherin Vault." Draco said looking around. "There have always been rumors about this place… And I am actually here."
"So are we… Now lets find the cup and get out." Hermione said looking up at the tall shelfs that were out od reach…
"I see it," Harry said pointing up o the highest shelf. "And the question is…"
"how do we get it?" Draco finished before turning to glare at the broom. "And I have an Idea." he said before he mounted.
"That cant be safe Draco!" Hermione said in a panic. "You cant even try that."
"To late…" He kicked off and zoomed to the top of the vault. It wasn't as old and rickity as it looked. He had no trouble what so ever reaching it. He duplicated it before he threw the original down to Hermione. "It will fool him if he comes looking." Draco explained once he was safely back on the ground.
"Eight down one to go." Harry said. They had really come a long way.
OoOoOoOoO
Lets just say that getting out of Gringgotts became difficult when the goblin saw Harry, who had forgotten to put the cloak back on.
"RING THE ALARM!" It shouted larder than any could have though it could shout "HARRY POTTER HAS SNUCK IN!" An alarm pierced the silence that occurred after that. They all began running as fast as they could… They didn't know where to go.
They knew perfectly well that they were running towards a dead end, but hopefully they would have a way out.
"Shouldn't we be running the other way?" Draco asked gasping for air.
"There is an angry mob of goblins the other way!" Harry shouted at him angrily.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" He screamed as he heard the sound of metal scraping against the cold stone walls. They clutched there ears.
"OH MERLIN!" Hermione said, she was clearly stressed out. They had reached their dead end.
"Cant we just apparate or something ?" Harry asked as he hit his fists against the wall.
"No, it's a bank. You cant just appear inside and out of a bank." Snapped Draco.
"Well what do you suggest!" Harry screamed at him.
"DRAGON!" Hermione said in exasperation. There in front of them was a giant stone dragon, who was might I add big enough for four people… They all scrambled over to it and it rose into the air 'this is way to simple.' she thought to herself… 'But it is going to save my life.' the Dragon crashed into the wall sending concrete flying out behind them.
"ARRGHHHH!" Someone screamed behind them… Someone wasn't very happy. They soared off into the over the horizon.
OoOoOoOoO
