The Darkness Within

•Chapter 2 - The Bank•

As they walked in, the man and Lily made a silent agreement that he would go right and she would go left, both looking for the niffler. Lily wanted so much to help him find it, because she didn't want any muggles to see it. A nifler is a magical creature, and that would mean they would have to obliviate someone, and she hated doing that.

As she looked around, she hadn't noticed that a man in a suit had approached her. She almost jumped in surprise when he started talking.

"Can I help you, lady?" He asked. Did she really look that lost?

"No, no, I was just.... I'm waiting for someone," she answered with a soft smile on her face. "Oh, there he is," she said as she spotted the man with the case. She didn't even know his name.

She walked towards the bench where the two man that had bumped into her outside were sitting, but before she got too close to them, the tallest one seemed to have spotted the niffler again, and he was now running around in the bank.

"Hey, hey mister!" The short man said. "Hey mister!" He yelled, trying to get the other's attention. "Hey fella," he tired again.

"Mr. Kowalski, Mr. Bingley will see you now," a woman said, coming out of a office. It was only then Lily realised what Mr. Kowalski had in his hand. It was an egg, an occamy egg.

Before she could even do anything, Mr. Kowalski walked inside the office. Lily decided to keep an eye in that on that office door as she went back to looking for the niffler.

She walked to a line, where the mister with the case was standing.

"Have you found it?" He asked her.

"No, but we have a problem-" she was interrupted by the sound of coins hitting the ground. The two of them turned their heads to the source of the sound, only to see a bunch of coins on the ground beneath a bench.

The man immediately ran there and dropped on his knees to see underneath the bench, but Lily could see that as soon as he did that, the little devil ran away and onto the golden pillars of the bank. Lily ran to him, but the niffler jumped into a cart that was being rolled away into the bank vaults.

"Hey, Mr. Englishguy," they heard. "I think your egg is hatching," Mr. Kowalski had yelled form the other side of the room.

"That's the problem," Lily finally said. The man took out his wand and before Lily could stop him, he silently conjured the summoning spell, bringing the Muggle to them. Once he was close enough, the wizard took everyone's arms and disaparated.
