Chapter 136: Griphook

When Edwin and the rest arrived at the Black manor it was already late in the night but everyone was up and about when they entered through the front door everyone could be seen waiting" Edwin you should have wait for me" Ivan hissed not caring that he was successful in recusing them.

"I'm sorry but them capturing my dear friend, Luna was unforgivable and I had to take action" Edwin replied with a serious expression but no one believed his reason and Isabella even rolled her eyes at Edwin's explanation as if saying" you can do better"

"Ivan no need to get angry now, he's back safe no matter how reckless that was," Tonks said and gave Edwin a wink.

Ivan calmed down and left Edwin alone, Ollivander and Griphook told their story of how and why they got captured; Ollivander was captured by Tom (Edwin stopped them from saying he who must not be named) on his search for the elder wand.

Edwin already knew Ollivander's story and didn't pay much attention to it but with the mention of the elder wand Edwin tuck the wand away in his robes.

"It ain't much to it," Griphook said in a bitter tone" I didn't feel like working for Wizards and I left and got chased down"

Edwin walked over to Isabella who seems upset" Have you seen the twins" he asked taking a seat near her.

Isabella looked away from Edwin's direction before answering" Death eaters finally closed the joke shop and to stop them from attacking snatchers Mrs. And Mr. Weasley took them to Bill for a while"

"I guess something wrong," Edwin said leaning his weight onto Isabella.

Who pushed back with her own weight and said" you have to stop risking your life like that it's reckless, or at least tell me what you're planning"

"Well nothing at the moment but," Edwin said but stopped and looked at Griphook with a smirk" something will come up"

"I'm going to bed," Isabella said walking slowly to her room.

The trio and Luna were more than happy to listen out Ollivander's story about deathly hollows and they spent most of the night speculating on what would happen if they can get their hands on the elder wand, and at that moment Edwin left the room to plan his next step.

"Dumbledore's army should be ready by January, but healers they take longer to learn" Edwin muttered to himself as he went upstairs to his room only to hear an angry Goblin muttering away.

"Dam Death eaters, wizards their noting but a bunch"

Edwin couldn't make out what Griphook was saying but he knew to himself that it is nothing good, and for a few weeks Griphook would walk around the house angry with everyone but himself" if the wizard knew how to control their own then this wouldn't have happened"

Griphook could mostly be seen alone except for dinner where he would come out of his room and when he would be talking to Ollivander and Luna (who he got along with), His favorite spot in the house is by a corner window where he set up a chair there.

"Griphook why so angry, "Edwin asked with a smile but as he approached Griphook who was humming peacefully but Edwin only received a grunt from the goblin" maybe is because even after the rebellion you Goblins are going back to where you were serving humans"

"What" Griphook shouted as he tried to attack Edwin, but Edwin was faster pinning him onto the wall.

Edwin slowly let Griphook and said" Don't get so angry we're in the same position if Tom treats mudbloods like shit on the sidewalk, how will he treat humanoid creature do you think you will have the same standing with wizards for long"

"the giants have nothing to worry about, Tom needs them and the Dementors are his enforcers but what of the goblins will they be just bankers and tellers"

"What are you getting at Edwin," Griphook asked looking Edwin dead in the eye after all Edwin did rescue him so he has just a bit of respect of him.

"you know Gringotts well," Edwin asked but it only got Griphook angrier.

"Yes" Griphook hissed" I know every vault there"

"Good now listen to me out," Edwin said explaining the Horcrux.

"So one of them is in Bellatrix vault," Griphook asked with a serious voice" even if I know how to find it Gringotts isn't so easily broken into and not to mention you need Bellatrix permission or key"

"Don't worry" Edwin replied" I'll get us in just worry about finding it"

With Griphook in agreement Edwin left with a smirk on his face," Griphook don't mention this to anybody until Christmas"

"Why shouldn't we finish this as fast as possible" Griphook asked once again staring down Edwin.

"There is an exited bunch here and they would want to go immediately"

"I don't see a problem there, the faster we destroy those things the faster we can defeat he- Tom," Griphook said almost shouting at Edwin.

"I know how you feel but I'm not finished with my preparations, we would only be walking to our deaths and what if Bellatrix is there on the same day we happen to go there"

"That's impossible" Griphook shouted out.

"nothing is, the main reason why it's not time yet is, what will happen after we destroy that one and he found out; then wouldn't everything be waste"

"I see save there hardest for the last huh," Griphook said rubbing his yellowish-green skin" I shall keep it until January"

In truth, Edwin could finish all his preparation within a month but he wanted Hogwarts to be fully prepared for what's to come and after he takes Hufflepuff Cup back Hogwarts will be next as there is no way to get Nagini alone.

As Edwin was about to go his way he remembers what Isabella asked of him and so Edwin told Isabella Half of his plan" we're going to raid Gringotts on the first of January"
