I turned to the leprechaun, "What is it?" I asked him, pulling the piece of red parchment out.
"Do ye know what that is?" He asked in a whisper.
"Yes, now we need to leave." I shut the drawer. All the other drawers shut with it, I handed the leprechaun a coin, "Ayden Marc-Usi Tomkimi Strap of Golden Isle, fly over the dragon and to the corridor. Wait for me there."
He did not hesitate. He was up in the air without a word. He flew out the door. I watched him from the doorway. The dragon saw him. It followed him with its eyes. I took the moment and ran- faster than I think anyone has ever ran, to be completely honest. As I reached the corridor I spoke to Remus, "Hermione here, ready for extraction. We've got an extra member.. but I'm certain he won't make the load any heavier."
I heard Remus inhale, "About time. Where will you be coming out?"
"On the roof... right above Malfoy's chamber." In the corridor, I was panting. I looked to the leprechaun, "Can you be invisible?" His answer was complete disappearing, "That'll do. Ayden Marc-Usi Tomkimi Strap of Golden Isle, follow right behind me, and be prepared for anything."
I assumed he followed and headed cautiously up the stairs. I was still cloaked. If there was anyone up there, they wouldn't notice me right off. I needed to get to the roof and I knew just how to get there. "Ayden," I whispered, assuming he was listening, "I'm going to have to blow a hole in the ceiling, grab a hold of me as soon the hole is made, alright?"
"Aye." He said from somewhere near.
We entered the safe. The door was still open. I peered cautiously out. If they weren't out there waiting already, they'd certainly come running at the noise I was about to make. I pulled out a small hand grenade. Thank god for muggle technology. I had adapted it with a magical claw so that the area of damage was much more specific than a regularly thrown grenade. I pulled out the key and threw it at the ceiling. Five seconds later there was an explosion loud enough that the leprechaun cursed loudly in my ear.
I saw Remus above us, hovering on a threstral. I pulled down my cloak, "Quickly!" He said, grasping my hand and pulling me up. He swung me easily onto the back of the threstral with him. The threstral shot off. I clung to Remus' waist and felt Marc clinging to me.
