Hearing Harry's shout, Elwyn, Hermione, and Elaine also pointed their wands in that direction.
The little golden cup was illuminated by beams of light coming from all directions. It was made by an ancient household elf and once belonged to Helga Hufflepuff. Her descendants passed it down from generation to generation, and then to Hepzba Smith, until Tom Riddle stole it from her and made it into a Soul Vessel.
In the end, Lord Voldemort gave it to Bellatrix for safekeeping.
"Is this it?"
"I think so. All the characteristics match up," Elwyn said, looking at the golden cup on the shelf.
"Very good, we found the cup, but here's the problem. If we don't touch anything, how can we get it?" Harry asked. "Elwyn, can you fly? Like that night when we ambushed... the Dark Demon? "
"No, that's a very special spell. Normal wizards can't do it." Elwyn looked at the piles of gold and silver between himself and the golden cup on the shelf. It was impossible to go over them directly. "Because of the Iron Fire Curse and the Unforgivable Curse, we can't go over directly, but we can use other things to touch these things. Bring the golden cup over, let me see what I have."
He said as he rummaged through his cloth bag. Elwyn and Hermione had stuffed a lot of things into it before they left, but they never thought they would encounter such a situation, so they didn't prepare anything that was thin and long.
Elwyn rummaged for a long time and found a fire stick.
He packed this thing purely because his parents heard that they might be sleeping in the wild. Mason and his wife thought that Elwyn was going camping with his classmates, so they specially prepared a set of camping equipment for him. This was one of them.
The fire stick was long enough, but it was too thick to fit into the handle of the cup.
"Well, this is the only thing we can do. According to the Basic Law of Spells, the collision of objects shouldn't trigger the Split Curse. Let's try it." As Elwyn spoke, he touched the top of a silver wine jug with his stick. It did not split into many.
"Elwyn, this stick is fine, but isn't it a little too thick? I can't insert it in?"
"I can try using the Transformation Curse. The Transformation Curse won't change the nature of the object, so it should be …"
"Anything is fine. Can you guys hurry up? It's too hot here." Elaine protested in dissatisfaction. The heat emitted by the enchanted treasures set off waves of heat. Everyone in the cave was sweating profusely.
"Elaine, wait for us outside with Hermione. You two be careful. Don't get too close to the dragon. Harry and I will be done soon. "Elwyn said as he controlled the sprite to open the vault door.
When Hermione and Elaine left and the vault door closed again, he waved his wand again.
The fire stick in Elwyn's hand began to change. It became thinner and longer …
He aimed it at the handle of the gold cup, and the long stick accurately pierced it.
"Very good!" Elwyn carefully lifted the stick up, and the gold cup slid down the stick.
It was a success. But as soon as the cup left its original position, the gold, silver, and jewelry in the cave suddenly emitted a shocking temperature. The replicas burst out like white-hot corpses, quickly filling the narrow space.
Other than the Split Curse, Ironfire Curse, and Heart Drill Curse, there were other spells in the vault!
Now, almost all of the gold began to rapidly replicate itself and burn with blazing heat.
The treasure came from all directions, drowning Elwyn, Harry, Bellatrix, and the old sprite.
Amidst the rolling heat and Harry's scream, Elwyn raised the stick in his hand high, speeding up the descent of Hufflepuff's gold cup. At the same time, he waved his wand vigorously, and a magic barrier pushed all the treasures away.
The jewels split even faster, squeezing together densely outside the barrier.
They collided with the wall and the vault door, making a shocking squeaking sound.
The treasures kept replicating, and soon Elwyn's magic lost its effect. The scorching heat came from all directions.
Elwyn reduced the range of the magic barrier to protect himself and Harry.
"Take the gold cup, Harry, let's get out!" he shouted, trying to maintain the magic barrier to protect him and Harry.
Harry grabbed the gold cup. He felt his flesh was being roasted, and even countless Hufflepuff cups burst out of his fist. But even so, he did not let go. He and Elwyn quickly backed away. The vault door opened again, and Elwyn, Harry, and the old sprite slid out of the room along the expanding tide of gold and silver.
"Elwyn, Harry, are you two okay?" Hermione shouted. She and Elaine rushed toward the increasing treasure.
"Ouch, it's hot, I'm fine. Harry, did you get the gold cup?" Elwyn stood up from the crazily expanding treasure, trying to stand. He felt as if he was scalded all over, and the unbearable pain tormented his body and mind.
"It's in my hand!" Harry said, climbing out of the hot pile of gold and silver. "It's still splitting."
"Give me the gold cup!" Elwyn said, coming to Harry, raised his wand and knocked on the gold cup.
With a hum, the trembling Hufflepuff gold cup stopped, no longer splitting.
Elwyn turned the gold cup upside down. At the bottom of the cup, he saw the emblem.
Not surprisingly, there was information about the home of the house-elf hidden in it.
Elwyn was a little excited, but this was not a good place to check.
"Let's get out of here first, continue forward, to the cart on the lower level, to the vault number one." Elwyn carefully placed the gold cup into the cloth bag, looking around, "Where is that sprite, we need him."
"He's here!" Elaine said, raising her wand to control the sprite to float out of the jewels.
"Very good, come on …"
"Elwyn, that woman is still inside." Hermione said, pointing to the interior of the vault.
"Don't bother with her, the vault door is open, she won't die. There's no time to find her and cast a spell, these gold and silver jewels will continue to split, we can't control it at all, the sprites above will soon discover the situation here." Elwyn said, "Hurry, before they come down, I want to take a look at Salazar Slytherin's vault."
It was a miracle that Gringotts hadn't discovered the accident here yet.
