November 1994
Gringotts Wizarding Bank
After few minutes of the exhilarating rail cart ride, which took them deep inside the Gringotts, Bellatrix and the goblin stepped near a vault. Lestrange family vault.
Harry also landed on the extended terrace and maintained his distance with Bellatrix.
The goblin stayed behind while Bellatrix moved towards the vault gate. She raised her wand and pointed it towards her other palm and a small light flew from the wand. The cutting curse grazed her palm and blood seeped from her palm.
Bellatrix proceeded towards the vault. Although she was confident, a trace of fear still lingered on her face. If the Lestrange family vault did not recognise her as Lestrange member having the credibility to open the vault, it would mean only one thing for Bellatrix- death.
As Bellatrix had expected, the heavy iron gates of the Lestrange vault opened with a loud sound. An expression of relief washed over Bellatrix face and she stepped inside the vault.
Harry was quick to follow Bellatrix and he also stepped inside the vault. He felt the powerful wards of the vault scanning him over but thanks to his invisibility cloak, the wards were unable to detect Harry.
Moments after, Harry entered the vault the iron gate shuddered and closed again with a bang.
Darkness took over the vault once the gate was closed being pierced only the small golden glows of the galleons.
Bellatrix stood at the centre of the vault while Harry stood behind her close to the vault gate.
Bellatrix raised her wand and the entire vault brightened by a lumos from Bellatrix's wand.
The Lestrange family vault was filled with gold galleons, piled in a heap of mountains. The entire vault was filled with various other priceless articrafts and treasures lined up in wooden shelfs.
Neither Harry's nor Bellatrix concerns were with these priceless treasures or the gold galleons. Their subject of concern was an ordinary looking cup placed atop a stool at the other end of the vault.
The Hufflepuff cup. And Voldemort' horcrux.
Harry's expression was delighted as he had finally discovered the only horcrux whose location he was not wary off. He now was waiting for Bellatrix to retrieve the cup.
Bellatrix walked straight up to the cup and picked it up. The protective spells of the vault recognised Bellatrix and remained inactive.
Her face was now full of joy as she had accomplished what Voldemort had asked her to do so.
She turned around with a smiling face to leave the vault but her face morphed into an expression of extreme shock.
Standing in front of her was none other than the boy whom the dark lord hated to his core. The boy who had been responsible for the dark lord's fall and his current horrendous condition. The boy whom she personally wanted to tear apart as soon as she left Azkaban but was stopped by her lord as he had some use left for the boy.
The boy standing in front of her was none other than Harry Potter.
"You… you… how?" She asked. Her voice trembled because of the shock.
Harry grinned evilly, "Bellatrix… Voldemort's most loyal and most powerful supporter."
Bellatrix had by now somewhat recovered from her shock. It had dawned upon her that Harry Potter had somehow sneaked behind her in the vault. She was also sure that the reason for Harry being here was surely to do something with the cup she was holding in her hand. And somehow, what had transpired yesterday in the Riddle house had reached to Harry. A spy amidst the death eater.
She crackled in laughter.
"Harry Potter… to think you would serve yourself on a platter to me," she laughed madly. "I will capture you and hand over to my lord."
"He does not need to worry about his plans anymore," she added amidst her laughter.
Bellatrix had heard about the powerful feats Harry had accomplished like killing almost a dozen death eaters, but she hardly believed that Harry had capability to her take her on.
According to her, the death eaters who had died were worthless and Harry's ability were an exaggeration. She believed that whatever had happened during the Hogsmeade battle must have been Minerva's doing.
Harry chuckled, "You can try that."
"But I must thank you to bring me over to this cup," he added with a smirk.
At this Harry and Bellatrix made their moves simultaneously. The lumos from Bellatrix's wand died down in an instant as she raised her wand to fire spells at Harry. The entire vault was plunged back into darkness.
But Harry was quicker. He did not even have to whip out his wand. he pointed his index finger and spell was fired at Bellatrix.
The disarmament spell struck Bellatrix before she had even cast her spell. She lost control of the wand she was holding and it flew straight towards Harry. Even in the darkness, Harry caught the wand effortlessly.
Genius and powerful she was, Bellatrix was useless without a wand. another spell left Harry's finger and the entire vault was illuminated again.
A big ball of light was now floating in the air.
"I would have loved to torture you for hours," smirked Harry. "But your lord will get suspicious at the delay."
"But even so… I can have a little bit of fun," chuckled Harry.
Bellatrix despite being fearless had a bad premonition and cold sweat drenched her back.
Be it Harry's disarmament spell or his ball of light and that too wandless indicated one thing- Harry was a powerful wizard. And she was no match for him.
