After burying Dobby, Bill and Fleur had found us and taken us to a little ocean side cabin. Inside we were saw Luna and were told that the Goblin and Mr. Olivander were in rooms resting

"Its beautiful here" said Luna running her hands through chimes hanging

"It was our aunt's. We used to come here as kids. The Order used it as a safe house... what's left of us at least" Bill said placing cups on a table

"Muggles believe that these keep evil away. But they're wrong" Luna smiled innocently

"I need to talk to the goblin" Harry rushes into the house

Bill lead Harry, Ron, Hermione and I upstairs to see the goblin who sat in an arm chair staring off into the sword

"How are you?" Asked Harry slowly approaching him

"Alive" he answers coldly

"You probably don't remember-"

"That I showed to your vault the first time you visited Gringotts?" He says cutting Harry off. "Even amongst goblins you're famous Harry Potter" he looks out the window "you buried the elf. I saw you"

"Yes"

"You're a very unusual wizard"

"Why did you leave Gringotts?" Harry asks

"Soon the DeathEaters will control it. That was unacceptable to me"

"Then you are on our side" Ron says

"This is a wizard's war. I take no sides"

"I need to get into Gringotts. Into one of the vaults" Harry says to him

"It is impossible"

"Alone yes. With you no"

"How did you come by that sword?" The goblin stares at it

Harry looks to me and I shake my head

"Its complicated" he answers. "Why did Bellatrix Lestrange think that it should have been in her vault at Gringotts?"

"Its complicated" he replies with hate in his voice

"The sword presented itself to us in a moment of need. We didn't steal it" Harry retorts

"There is a sword identical to this inside Madam Lestrange's vault, but it is a fake. It was placed there this past summer"

"And she never suspected?"

"The replica is very convincing. Only a goblin would recognize that this is the true sword of Gryffindor"

"Who put it there? The fake sword" I ask

"It was not my place to ask. Nor was it my desire to. There are more than a few curious things in the vaults at Gringotts"

"And in Madam Lestrange's vault as well?" I ask stepping in

"Perhaps"

"I have gold lots of it"

"I have no interest in gold"

"Then what?" Harry questions

"Do you have to ask?" I point behind me

"The sword shall be my prize"

"Very well" Harry says sternly

"What are you-" Harry puts his hand over my mouth

"I have your word Harry Potter that I will have the Sword of Gryffindor if I were to help you?"
