Chapter 27: The Last Veiled Location

Ron: Can you believe it? I actually came up with a plan. And it worked.

Harry: Partially.

Hermione: What do you mean partially? We got away, didn't we?

Harry: In case you haven't noticed, we're now on a dragon hundreds of feet in the air. If it decides to do a barrel roll, or dive into the ocean, or even just realises there's three tasty humans on its back, we're fucked.

Ron: It can't dive into the ocean, we're still above London.

Harry: Which begs the question: what the hell are they seeing down there?

on the ground*

Muggle 1: Hey, is that a dragon up there?

Muggle 2: Don't be stupid, dragons went extinct hundreds of years ago.

back in the air*

Harry: I should also point out that sooner rather than later, Voldemort *explosive thundercrack* is going to realise what happened *as he was speaking, a Snatcher appear next to them*

Snatcher: I got you now Potter.

Harry: Are you on the dragon?

Snatcher: *looks down and sees he's in open air* Huh, I suppose I'm not *drops to the ground*

Hermione: Did you summon him intentionally?

Harry: What can I say, Ginny's really rubbed off on me.

Ron: Speaking of rubbing you off…

Harry: Seriously not the fucking time Ron.

hours later*

Hermione: Okay, the dragon's getting lower. I say we jump into one of the lakes it's flying over.

Harry: And if we miss?

Ron: Then I won't get to see you wet.

Harry: That's it, I'm staying on the dragon in protest.

Ron: No-one's keeping me from my wet Harry, not even Harry *grabs Harry and dives off the dragon, into a lake*

Harry: God damn it, I hate you.

Ron: I love you too.

Hermione: Well, now we just have to hope You-Know-Who doesn't find out what happened for a while.

Harry: Uh oh…

Hermione: What uh oh?

Harry: *scar practically glowing with the pain it's causing Harry* I think he knows *passes out and goes into Voldemort's head*

Voldemort: …tell me again what happened?

Griphook: Yep, Potter and his friends broke into the Lestrange vault.

Voldemort: And, pray tell, what did they take?

Griphook: You're not gonna believe this, all they wanted was this worthless golden cup. Can you believe it? All that treasure, and they take one measly little worthless cup.

Voldemort: …I see…

Griphook: Anyway, I'm going to return this sword to its rightful owner…

Voldemort: AVADA KEDAVRA! *Griphook drops dead* Fuck your measly little worthless sword, I have to find out how much Potter knows. Does he know about the Gaunt ring in the abandoned Gaunt house? Or the locket in the lake? Or Nagini? Or…no way he knows what's at Hogwarts…still, I should probably check. Ugh, with apparition, this will probably take me a whole hour. I really hope no-one's inside my head right now…

back at the lake*

Ron: Harry, what did your wizard eyes see?

Harry: He's taking the snake to the Gaunt house…then the cave lake…then Hogwarts.

Hermione: Why Hogwarts?

Harry: Apparently that's where the last one is. But that jerk refused to think about where in the castle it is.

Hermione: So what do we do?

Harry: Who's up for another break-in?

Hermione: We haven't even recovered from the last one yet, which may I remind you was only a matter of hours ago?

Harry: Hermione, this is kind of a fate of the world thing. We either do this now, or a lot of innocent people die. And personally, there are just barely enough people in this world that I want to survive. So again, who's up for another break-in?

Ron: YAY!

Hermione: …motherfucker.
