Thanks for the reviews on the last one they are a great help. Anyway like the title says this chapter's mainly about the break-in at Gringotts Bank; but it starts off at Shell Cottage just three days after they find out about the bounty on Pan.

Enjoy!

After hearing the news from Dobby, the whole house was stunned to the core. No one mentioned anything to Pan about it, since after Dobby spoke she completely focused on her son.

At the moment Hermione and Griphook were fully recovered, and Ollivander along with Luna and Dean had been moved to Muriel's home. Pan became good friends with Luna and Dean, and they told her if she ever needed help with anything to just let them know. Harry was with Dobby off at the time to clear his head, and Ron was busy caring for Hermione though she didn't need it; Pan on the other hand was in her room with Gabriel, writing a letter.

'Almost done…' she finished the last sentence and folded the letter in an envelope before sealing it. 'There, nicely done and to the point.' She put the letter in her dress pocket and patted it down to make sure it fit.

"Pan?" she heard someone calling her from the other side of the door. "Pan are you ok?" it was Fleur.

"I'm fine." She picked up Gabriel holding him to her. Fleur walked in and smiled at her carrying a mug of tea.

"You thirsty?" she asked.

"No thank you, do you know where everyone's at?"

"Arry eez in zhe kitchen, Ron and 'Ermione are outside vith Bill." Pan smiled and figured maybe she should stop being so shy around them. They did save her and Gabriel's lives, so she owed them for it.

"Thanks Fleur, I appreciate all you've done for me." Fleur set the mug down and leaned over hugging Pan carefully not to disturb Gabriel.

"You're velcome Pan." She let go, and then Pan made her way out into the kitchen, seeing Harry at the table examining a broken necklace and the sword of Gryffindor.

"Harry." She said and he turned to her.

"Oh hey Pan, something wrong?" she smiled a little.

"No I just felt like coming out of that room, can't stay in there forever." She bounced Gabriel as he began to turn in her arms. "Mind if I sit?" Harry stood up.

"Oh no not at all." He pulled out a chair for her and Pan laughed a little.

"You're such a gentleman." She sat down and Harry went back to his seat. "The sword of Gryffindor, how on earth did you get it?" he gave her a surprised look.

"You know about this?" he said pointing at the thing.

"Of course, you forget Professor Dumbledore taught me almost everything about the magical world. That includes old magic and historical artifacts like this sword." She said. Harry smiled at her and put the broken necklace away. "Harry, I know what you're going to say, so just let me talk."

"About?"

"I'd like to apologize, not for myself but for what my father's done to you. He murdered many innocent people, and he almost murdered Gabriel. What he's done is horrifying, and my mother….i know what she's done in the past and present as well. It's probably not good for me to say this, but thank God I was raised by muggles and not them or the Malfoys." Harry smirked at that.

"Touché Pan. And for the record I don't hold you responsible for any of this. I know who you are and all, but I can't judge you based on your parents' lives. If anything I'd like to know you better because frankly, you're new to all of this…in a way."

"I agree, and Harry if I may ask…do you know how to defeat him?" Harry didn't even hesitate to nod. "Did that necklace have anything to do with it?" he nodded again.

"You know what a horcrux is?" Pan thought for a minute, and then remembered reading something about that word.

"The ability to split one's soul into an object of sorts?" he nodded again.

"You're a smart girl, if anything you could be as smart as Hermione. Uh don't let her know I said that."

"No problem, and thanks for that. And Harry if anything, I know this is sudden and all…but I want to come with you." Harry's eyes widened at her. "I want to help you defeat my father."

"Pan are you crazy? What about Ivan, what about Gabriel you can't take him with you?" before Pan could answer someone came in through the door.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" Harry got up and recognized the voice. Pan followed him and stayed hidden behind the door as she listened.

"Remus!" she heard Harry say. Bill and Fleur were heard coming in too.

"It's a boy! His name is Ted, after Dora's father!" soon more people came in and Pan stayed quiet with Gabriel in her arms.

"Tonks had the baby? Congratulations!" she heard Hermione talk.

"Yes congratulations." Bill and Ron. Soon it was slightly quiet and a sound of ruffling clothing was heard.

"You'll be godfather?" 'Remus' asked someone.

"M-Me?" Harry. Pan's eyes widened a bit, but she let it go and continued to listen. This was definitely her cousin-in-law Remus Lupin, married to Nymphadora Tonks, daughter of Ted and Andromeda Tonks.

"We both agree no one's better. What do you say?" the man asked

"S-Sure I'd be honored…." Harry said.

"Drinks anyone?" she heard Fleur say.

"Oh no I must get back…I'll bring a picture next time." She heard the door open and stepped out.

"Wait!" she said and everyone turned to her. Remus turned around and his mouth dropped open at her in shock.

"I-It's ok Remus…she's a friend." Harry said walking in front of her. Remus stepped closer to her and stopped just a few feet in front of her.

"Pandora Lestrange?" he said.

"Pan." She said holding sleeping Gabriel. "I'm Pan Lestrange Mr. Lupin." Remus turned over to Bill and Fleur.

"Are you two insane? You're harboring the daughter of You-Know-Who?"

"Remus she came to us when Luna and Dean were saved by Dobby. She had a baby and she's here as a refugee just like everyone else." Bill said calmly.

"You know how much trouble you'll all be in, not just for sheltering Harry and the others but for holding his daughter? And grandchild?"

"Remus we know the risks, but we couldn't just let Pan get hurt and have her son in that cellar." Harry spoke up. "She needed help so we gave it to her."

"She's been very well behaved Remus." Hermione said leaning into Ron who nodded in agreement. The man glared a little at Pan but she didn't flinch away.

"You're serious? She's a refugee here with you?" they all nodded. Pan pulled out the letter from her pocket and held it in front of her.

"If it's not too much trouble Mr. Lupin, I'd like you to deliver this letter to my Aunt Andromeda." He looked at her. "When we last met she told me if I ever needed help with anything to let her know." Eyes widened at that.

"You've met Andromeda before? When?" Hermione asked.

"A year ago, in Hogsmeade. Dumbledore took me on a secret outing to see a town where witches and wizards live and I ran into her. We instantly recognized each other; she said she knew about me and Ivan and she hoped that we didn't think much of blood purity marriages or anything like that. I told her no, and I wanted to get to know her if she wanted to know me."

"So you're on good terms with her?" Remus asked and Pan nodded. "Why she never mentioned it I'll wonder, but if you're trustworthy for everyone here I'll take the letter." He looked at Gabriel in her arms, and took the letter from her. He nodded to everyone and left the house disapparating outside.

"I'm sorry Pan, Remus is a nice man he's just cautious." Harry said.

"It's ok, I can't expect everyone to like me so quickly." Gabriel started fussing and she bounced him a little. "Excuse me." She left the room and went back to the kitchen spotting the bottle Fleur had made boiling in some water. A small squirt on her hand and the temperature was right; placing the nipple at Gabriel's mouth he took it in and drank it down. The boy was only a few days old but he liked anything so far, baby formula or breast milk he didn't care it was all delicious.

"Pan." She turned and saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione walk into the kitchen, each with stern looks if not concerned on their faces. "I know you want to help, but you can't leave Gabriel behind. He needs his mother…" Harry.

"I know. Harry I know I can't leave him, but in order for him to grow up and prosper in this world I need to help. I can't just sit back and let you all put yourselves on the line, you may be the one to defeat the Dark Lord, but I can help you get it done faster."

"But Pan, do you even know how to fight?" Hermione.

"Yes, and how to defend I know a few good spells. I can even disapparate. And don't worry about Ivan; he said he'll keep watch on the Malfoys as best he can." And then there was Ron.

"So you're going to leave YOUR kid here for Fleur and Bill to look after?" he sounded angry, and before Pan could answer another knock came to the door.

"Um Pan could you come here?" she heard Fleur calling. Pan carefully placed the almost empty bottle down and started burping Gabriel as she walked back into the front room. There, in all her shade and glory, was her Aunt Andromeda with Remus Lupin.

"Hello Pan."

"Hello Aunt Andie." She said walking over to her. The two women carefully embraced not to crush Gabriel.

"Gabriel, he's adorable like my grandson." The woman smiled touching Gabriel's small cheek.

"Thank you, congratulations on Teddy. I guess you got my note?"

"Yes, and I'm willing to help sweetheart. I know how much this all means to you, and I know you feel as if you've been hidden long enough." Andromeda said as she put her hand on Pan's face. "So yes." Pan smiled so big. She was happy this was going as she'd hoped.

"Excuse me but can someone tell me what the bloody deal is?" Typical Ron.

"I'm taking care of Gabriel while Pan accompanies you on your journey." Andromeda said and Remus gave a small smirk. That made everyone, even Bill and Fleur, gasp at the woman.

"Andie are you sure?" Remus asked. "You already volunteered to take care of Teddy if it happens, can you handle two newborns?" Andromeda gave him a look.

"If I could handle my metamorphing daughter then I definitely can handle two newborn babies. With a little help from Dobby of course." At that moment, the little elf, who'd been silent up until now appeared in the room.

"Dobby?" Harry looked at him and Dobby bowed.

"Dobby is grateful that Harry Potter is safe and sound, Dobby is also grateful for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's hospitality, therefore Dobby is willing to help Miss Pan in her time of need."

"Did she ask you?" Harry.

"Dobby has agreed to help under request of Miss Pan. Dobby has grown fond of her as well." Dobby smiled up at Pan and bowed to her.

"Thank you Dobby."

"You are welcome Miss Pan." Dobby looked at Andromeda and she smiled.

"Pan I'll help you get Gabriel's things, shall we?" Pan nodded and led her aunt back to her bedroom after Gabriel finally burped. She set him down in the cradle and looked around for the materials Fleur had given her; some diapers, baby clothes, a couple of toys, bottles, etc. It wasn't much, but it would be enough since Dobby was going to help her aunt.

"Here." She said after placing all the items in a bag. "That should be enough for a while, common courtesy of Fleur Weasley." Andromeda laughed and took the bag. "I really appreciate this auntie, I don't know how I can repay you." Her aunt gave her a look and Pan soon found herself in a tight embrace.

"I'm doing this because I love you dear, you're my only niece. I was willing to take you and your brother in after you were born but of course Dumbledore, God rest his soul, told me it would be too risky should your father ever return. I'm glad we finally met though, and I'm willing to help you out as much as possible." Pan felt tears sting her eyes, regardless of what her mother's family had done to Andromeda she was as sweet as can be.

"Thank you." They let go hearing little Gabriel cooing. "Aww you want Aunt Andie to hold you?" she carefully picked him up and handed him to Andromeda. His brown eyes found hers and she smiled at him.

"He's so cute, reminds me of Dora when she was born." Pan helped Andromeda put the bag on her shoulder and they walked out of the room. The others met them in the front room and Remus took the bag from Andromeda.

"You're ready?"

"Yes Remus. You behave Pan, I'll see you soon."

"You too auntie." Everyone else bid goodbye and the two left instantly. Pan felt her heart jerk at Gabriel being gone, but the rest of it knew he'd be cared for until she came for him.

"Well…I suppose we can't turn you down now." Harry. "You can come along Pan, but you need to do what we tell you." Pan nodded and looked at the trio.

"I won't let you down." She said and Bill handed her the wand she'd given to him willingly.

"Ok, we'll leave you four to decide what to do." He pulled Fleur into another room and Harry pulled Pan and the others into the kitchen.

"So what's your plan so far?" Pan asked. Harry pulled out the broken necklace and the sword of Gryffindor placing them on the table.

"From what we understand your dad has seven horcruxes, so far we've gotten the Slytherin locket, Hufflepuff's cup, Riddle's diary, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, and something of Ravenclaw's. The diary, the locket, and the ring have all been destroyed, and we know the location of the Hufflepuff cup."

"Where's that?" all three glanced at each other before going back to Pan.

"Gringotts Bank, in your mom's vault." Pan's eyes widened a bit.

"Let me guess, you plan to break in and get it?" they nodded. "How so?"

"Polyjuice potion." Hermione said holding up a vial. "I'm going to disguise myself as Bellatrix Lestrange to get us inside, and Griphook is going to help us." Pan seemed to understand since Griphook did work at Gringotts, but something was flawed in that plan.

"If I may Hermione, why not let me pose as my mother?" she asked and Hermione raised her eyebrows. "I mean I do look like her right? Just younger…"

"Yes but, what will I do?" Pan thought for a minute.

"It's a suggestion, Harry? Ron?" Ron actually smiled at Pan.

"I kind of like it, it wouldn't cause too much trouble. Plus she's been around that witch long enough to know how to act like her." Harry nodded.

"I agree with Ron Hermione, you'll have to stay hidden under my cloak with me and Griphook."

"But we can't all fit in that thing it's not big enough."

"Of course it is, just needs a small stretch is all. All Pan has to do is play her part to get us in and out and we're through."

"He's right 'Mione, we did fit in it in our first year remember?"

"We were small then, not that I'm against this idea but we've only got enough to disguise two of us. What will I do?"

"Whatever Harry tells you." Pan spoke up. "Watch me." She cleared her throat and fixed her hair like Bellatrix. "Filthy mudbloods in my house! I am the Dark Lord's most faithful servant, only I deserve his honor and reward! You have no right to disgrace my name against him!" the whole while she chanted Harry and Ron began laughing. "Please don't be angry with me master! I tried! I tried!" she stopped with a laugh similar to Bellatrix's and Harry let out another laugh.

"Ha ha, you're good. You're real good."

"I agree, we gotta let her do it Hermione." Hermione gave a small smile, and nodded.

"I guess so, you'd be better at it than me." She handed Pan the potion and pulled out a long curled strand of Black hair from a bag. "Just add this inside. And take this." Pan saw Hermione hand her a wand, bent slightly in the middle; her mother's wand. She slipped her mom's wand into her pocket with her own and carefully looked at the potion.

"I'll be going as Travers, got a little of him on me as well." Ron held up a potion, and then Hermione pulled out a long black dress, similar to one of Bellatrix's own ensembles.

"You'll need this." Pan quickly took the dress and conjured it on using her mother's wand, then placed the hair inside watching it fizz before taking a sip. Her stomach bubbled as it took in the potion, and she felt her face shifting a little as she aged before the trio.

"How do I look?" she asked. Harry and Ron made a couple of faces, Hermione didn't say anything.

"Odd, not lying to you. Not ugly, just odd." Ron said.

"I'll get Griphook." Harry left in an instant as Ron donned his potion and changed. Harry came back seconds later with the goblin and looked at them. "Ready?"

"Ready." They all said. They bid Fleur and Bill goodbye thanking them for their help, then went outside before disapparating to Knockturn Alley. Some people came through but Harry covered himself, Griphook, and Hermione with his cloak before anyone could see.

"Madame Lestrange." A blonde or bald man spotted Pan and bowed to her.

"Rowle." She said cruelly. He left without another word and Pan quickly started walking out of Knockturn Alley with the others behind her. When they reached the deserted Diagon Alley they quickly walked over to the front doors of the large Gringotts Bank; Pan walked exactly as she remembered Bellatrix walking, stomping occasionally with her heels but elegantly. As they reached the front desk Pan crossed her arms and glared fiercely.

"I would like to enter my vault." She said sternly.

"Name please?" the goblin didn't even look up.

"Look yourself goblin." He looked up and almost backed away.

"M-Madam Lestrange, how wonderful." He stuttered.

"Take me to my vault this instant!" she raised her voice.

"One moment please." The goblin left the desk for a minute and came back with another, Bogrod.

"Madam Lestrange, may I see your wand?" Pan knew why, a small check to make sure she was the real Bellatrix. She held up her mother's wand and he looked at it closely. "Sorry ma'am, right this way." They led them into the hall at the first gate available, they took their seats and Bogrod sat at the controls before Pan pointed her mother's wand at his back.

"Sleep." She said and he was unconscious. Griphook appeared from under the cloak and took his spot.

"Nice one miss." He said. Pan glared at him saying 'Do this right or you'll regret it.' He seemed to take the hint and they drove off. Sometime sooner they went under a waterfall, and then stopped where a large growl was heard. They looked to see a large dragon blocking their way.

"Oh dear God that's a big dragon." Pan said out loud not meaning to.

"Ukrainian Ironbelly, stand back." Griphook said and started shaking a rattle of sorts at the dragon and it backed away from them. "Been trained to hate the noise." The dragon moved and then they made it to the Lestrange vault. Pan noticed Ron's disguise was gone, as was hers but only did she look slightly different from her mother.

"Oh hell, we'd best hurry." She said hurrying to the vault door. Harry grabbed the unconscious Bogrod and set him down near the door. Hermione pulled out her wand as did the rest.

"That waterfall breaks any enchantments on you, to prevent thieves from entering the bank." Griphook said and opened the vault with one touch of a button. Inside there were many treasures, including gold and silver goblets, candlesticks, plates, galleons, Knuts, sickles, and other forms of treasure.

"Don't see it." Ron said.

"It's here, I can feel it." Harry said and Pan started looking away at the cups to see if any looked familiar.

"What about you Pan? You feel anything?" Hermione asked. Pan realized she could feel something too, it was strong, but almost hissing somewhere.

"Yeah, I hear it. Lumos." Her wand lit up and she heard the hissing get louder with every step she took. She looked around, and then suddenly a jolt in her hand made her jump. She checked her hand, but it was fine; soon the hissing increased, and Pan felt a pull for a second.

"You feel it Pan?" Harry.

"Yes, it's here alright…if only…" when she looked up, she spotted a golden cup at the top with a badger on it. "Up there!" she pointed. Harry was looking in the exact same direction, and then a scream made them turn.

"What's wrong?" Harry. Hermione was holding her hand glancing at a cup on the floor.

"It burned my hand."

"The Flagante curse, anything you touch will burn on contact." Griphook said.

"Note to self, don't touch anything." Pan whispered and started getting closer to the shelf. "Harry you think you can reach that?"

"How heavy are you?"

"A hundred and twenty-six pounds, why?" Harry set his wand in his pocket and sat down on his knees near the shelf.

"I'll give you a boost. Quickly." Pan nodded and carefully stepped on Harry's shoulders; he held her feet and slowly lifted her up.

"Careful….careful…" she kept whispering and Harry finally made it to his feet.

"Can you get it?"

"Almost…" Pan stretched out her arm and just barely caught the handle of the cup, scooping it into her fingers. "Got it." Harry set down and let Pan jump off as she showed him the cup. "We got it." Unfortunately their moment of triumph didn't last long.

"Who are you?" they looked and saw the now conscious goblin Bogrod glaring at them. "Thieves! Thieves!" he started shouting and Pan reacted with a stunner curse.

"Guess we've overstayed our welcome." Ron said and as he braced for the door with Hermione some objects fell and began to shake. The objects broke into two each and kept increasing in numbers.

"The Gemino curse, everything you touch multiplies." Griphook said and the room was already near half full of fake treasures. Ron and Hermione were braced at the door, but Pan and Harry were caught in the piles. Pan held the cup tightly in her hand as she struggled to get free, Harry held onto her hand and somehow they managed to get free but the sword dropped from Hermione's hand. Griphook grabbed it and left the room with Bogrod in a rush without a word.

"Griphook!" Pan shouted but Harry stopped her.

"Forget about him, we got the cup let's go!" they ran out of the vault and back towards the spot containing the Ukrainian Ironbelly. It was being forced down with chains, and the guards along with more goblins were coming their way.

"That's Potter and his friends!" some cried out. "Get them!"

"Wait that's the Dark Lord's daughter! There's a reward on 'er!" a guard shouted going for Pan. She fired a spell at him and many others flew back towards the wall. The whole place was crowded, no way to escape.

"Pan!" Harry called and grabbed her arm yanking her onto the dragon's back. The shackles were cut and they flew out of the bank through the ceiling.

"Whoa! That was a rush!" Pan shouted as they flew. Harry gave a small laugh and Ron and Hermione just focused on each other.

"Yeah. I'm just glad we made it out." All nodded in agreement, and soon they found themselves flying over a large lake with a few islands. "Let's jump!" everyone quickly joined hands and down they went into the water. Pan hadn't swam in so long she almost let herself sink; luckily her strength kicked in from the freezing water and managed to swim with the trio to the island.

"Guh!" she breathed after touching the shore. Hermione and Ron helped her up as they waited for Harry to get up with them, but he froze.

"Harry?" Hermione walked over to him. A second later he broke out of his frozen state, and then hurriedly climbed onto the shore.

"Mate what's wrong?"

"H-He knows…You-Know-Who…"

"He knows? Wait how do you know?" Pan asked. Harry looked at her and ended up putting his hands on her shoulders.

"I can connect with his head, I'm not supposed to but I can't always help it. He knows we broke into the vault and he knows you were with us."

"Harry you sure?" Ron asked. Hermione pulled out a bag and started yanking out clothes.

"Here change." She tossed Pan some pants and a shirt with a red jacket.

"Yeah, and I know where the last horcrux is…somewhere in Hogwarts."

"What did you see it?"

"No but I saw Rowena Ravenclaw and the castle, we need to hurry and get going!"

"But Harry we have to plan first!"

"Hermione none of our plans have worked up until now, every time we think it's going good something bad happens and we almost die."

"Even so we have to figure out how to get into the school. There's bound to be wards all over the place."

"I know how." Pan said pulling the dry jacket over her head. "I know someone who can get us in."

"Who?" Ron.

"Aberforth Dumbledore, he knows a few passageways in and out of Hogsmeade to Hogwarts. He can help us in there, mind you he's not the nicest person there is, but he's a big help when it matters most." The trio exchanged looks.

"Wait didn't he take you in after your parents died?" Pan nodded at Harry. "Then you're sure he can help us?"

"Absolutely, I can get through to him. Why do you think I named my son after him?" Ron looked confused.

"I thought your son's name was Gabriel?"

"Gabriel Aberforth, after my adopted grandfather and the man who took me in during my time of need." She looked at Harry.

"Alright." He nodded. "When should we go?"

"Tonight."

"In an hour? The sun's about to set." Hermione.

"No time better, there's bound to be wards out but I know how to get past the patrolling death eaters. Something Abe taught me." She laughed at her nickname for Aberforth. Harry looked at Ron and Hermione, each one giving a nod.

"Alright, we leave for Hogsmeade tonight." Pan smiled at Harry, he was definitely everything Albus said he was; and more, so much more.

Decided to make it a little longer, hope you liked it. Next one starts right when they enter Hogsmeade and meet up with Aberforth. Please keep the reviews coming because the more reviews the better!

Later!
