章節 42: chapter 42 : Dragon's language
Later the next day, Snape, McGonagall, Harry, Dumbledore and Moody were in Dumbledore's office where he showed them the sketches.
Dumbledore: This is Rowena Ravenclaw's tiara.
Ron: It's in the Room of Requirement and the chest containing him and the area looks like this (shows sketches).
Harry: I'll take care of the tiara.
Moody: This chalice is in a Gringotts chest according to the sketches.
Snape: Bellatrix's vault.
Ron: I'll take care of the chalice.
Moody: I'm coming with you.
Dumbledore: What about the snake? Voldemort is never far from Nagini.
Ron: That damn snake will come at us with his master. Voldeshit will bring us his last Horcrux on a platter. I already have a plan, we'll discuss it when we get back from Gringotts.
They all split up and Ron left for Diagon Alley with Moody for Gringotts. They got a few dark looks along the way, it seemed Voldemort's followers had noticed them but they didn't move rashly because of Moody whose reputation was fierce.
Ron, elegantly dressed as usual, entered the bank and the goblins knew his face very well just like those of the other Weasleys, their family's fortune continued to increase to the great joy of the goblins.
They greeted him with their sinister voices and Ron simply ignored them to go to the back office where the bank teller Bogrod was but didn't notice Ron approaching with Alastor.
Moody: We wish to access Beatrix Lestrange's vault for investigation.
Bogrod: (write)
Moody immediately struck his cane on the goblin's large notebook, who slowly raised his face towards him.
Moody: Madame Lestrange's vault, we want access to it.
Bogrod: Where is Madame Lestrange?
Moody: Not there.
Bogrod: Gringotts wouldn't have its reputation if we let just anyone into everyone's vaults. (looks at Ron) We are glad to see you back at Gringotts, Mr. Weasley. Are you here for a deposit?
Moody: You damn goblin you-(interrupted)
Ron: You won't do it like that, Mr. Moody. Let me do it.
"Impero" Ron whispered as he snapped his fingers and Bogrod's eyes turned a green color for a split second before his gaze slowly turned to Ron.
Bogrod: What can I do for you Mr. Weasley?
Weasley: We want to access Bellatrix Lestrange's vault.
"Follow me please" He said before leaving his desk to walk and they followed him.
« Imperius Spell !! Do you know you could end up straight in Azkaban for that, kid ? » Moody asked sternly.
Ron: Do you have any proof that I just used one of the three Unforgivable Curses?
Moody:…
"The great joys of wandless magic..." Ron said smiling and they continued on their way to board the transporter led by Bogrod which took them to the underground of the bank where they passed under the cascade of thieves including water could cancel all enchantments.
Bogrod: What...what am I doing here?! Who-(interrupted)
The goblin had barely gotten out of the imperius before Ron had bewitched him again but instead of continuing on their way, Ron stopped the vehicle.
Ron: Stop there for a moment.
Moody: Kid, what are you looking for?
"Just a second" Ron said before taking out a very large water bottle from his jacket which he filled with water from the waterfall.
Water like this could prove very useful. The flask was filled and he made it disappear before they continued on their way.
Bellatrix's vault lay deep among the vaults guarded by a gray dragon and chained. He was a Ukrainian ironbelly and he had a lot of signs of abuse on him.
Bogrod took one of the Clankers and shook it to make a noise that put the dragon in a state of terror and it backed away little by little.
Ron: So what did you do to that creature?
Bogrod: We trained him to expect pain by listening to this sound sir.
Ron: Stop that right now.
Bogrod: He will attack us if we do.
Ron: Do it...
Bogrod: I am at your command, sir.
Moody: Kid, are you going crazy?
Ron:…
The dragon began to growl as it advanced towards them as small flames came out of its mouth. Ron slowly approached while in a slight trance he began speaking in a strange language.
The language resembled the snake language Parseltongue but the words had slower pronunciation and the tone was deep, heavy and dark.
The dragon stopped and growled lowly but it sounded like the language Ron had just used.
They began to exchange until Ron moved closer to pet the dragon before undoing its chains with pure magic.
Moody: My god...
Ron came back to tell them that the dragon was not going to attack them and was even going to wait for them because he was now free of his restraints.
After a bit of walking, they arrived at Bellatrix's vault and Bogrod opened it by placing his hand on it.
"I can feel the object from here" Ron said without even entering and held out his hand calmly before the small golden cup was drawn towards his hand quickly.
Moody: Is that really the point?
Ron threw the cup at him and Moody caught it but as soon as his hand made contact, he felt the powerful dark magic in the chalice as well as the little voices that began to whisper in his head until Ron takes the cup back to make it disappear in his jacket.
Ron: Still doubts?
Moody: We're done here.
Ron used a spell to erase the recent memories in the goblin's mind, replacing them with new ones. He and Moody returned to the dragon and Ron teleported them to appear on a hill near the school.
He talked some more with the dragon who ended up rubbing his head against him with a tear falling from his eye before starting to flap his wings to fly towards an unknown destination.
Moody: Do you talk to dragons, kid?
Ron: In very ancient times, it seems that wizards could speak to dragons or phoenixes and no one was master of the others. By some means, this link disappeared when men said to themselves that they could be masters of dragons. According to very ancient writings, dragons were much larger, more powerful and more intelligent than those that populate our world today. I am discovering with you my gift for this language...i swear
