Chapter #18: Guest's right.

“Well, I’m finally here, the house of the elusive Corban Yaxley,” Harry smirked while he was dressed in black clothes. “It seems like the fidelius charm is forbidden for the rest of us but not for the dark lord’s cronies,” Harry added with a tone full of resentment.

Harry was thankful towards Tonks, she was the one who managed to put the espionage device on the bastard who owned this big mansion, who would’ve thought that being an Auror would help you get a house like this, if he knew he could achieve something like with an Auror salary, he have joined the Auror forces instead of being an inventor.

But he knew it was all an illusion, the man was getting his coin from other places, he knew very well that being an Auror is a well paid job considering you risk your life and all the preparation it takes to become one, however, there’s no way you can achieve something like this with a salary like that, something smelled fishy here.

However, Harry decided not to dig too deeply into those thoughts as he had other plans, and he came here with a different purpose than to investigate where the salary from a crooked Auror truly comes from, he suddenly took a vial out of his pocket, he shook the little thing and then, he finally drank the whole thing.

“Ah…Yes, just like I remembered, it tastes like shit!” Harry said with a bitter tone.

However, this was necessary, this was a small sacrifice to pay for he came to gather from this place, Polyjuice potion might taste like crap but it was something he needed to take if he wanted to succeed in this mission, it took less than a minute but finally he was turned into a random muggle, he looked to be in his forties and he also had red hair.

“Well, it’s time,” he told himself, and soon, he walked towards the door.

However, he didn’t even attempt to open it with the hand door, no, instead, he placed his wand on the door, and then some kind of keyboard with only numbers appeared.

“Okay, let’s see, the password is…One, two, three, and four, there you have it,” Harry said as he touched the numbers with his wand.

And then, a happy bell rang, which meant that he was successful in entering that password, he smirked and finally got inside, but his wand was still ready.

“Master Yaxley, welcome—” there was a house elf.

However, Harry wasted no time and just put the creature to sleep, he hated doing this, elves are nothing but tools of their evil masters, well, almost all of them, as there are some exceptions like Kreacher, his godfather’s elf, the thing was bitter and evil.

“Well, it seems like the bastard was hiding something here…” He reached the living room, and he was surprised to find many paintings hanging on the walls.

It seems like those were stolen from the muggle world, and those owners in the muggle world who thought they had original pieces, turns out they had nothing but copies, Harry reached the painting of a woman who looked to be from the middle ages, she was pretty that was undeniable even if she had too many clothes for his tastes.

He removed the painting and got ready for what was about to come, he waited for a few seconds, and then a black mass appeared, and it was changing forms, but Harry had no time to waste.

“Riddikulus!” He screamed, and the boggart that was about to turn into his biggest fear just turned into a globe.

Harry was satisfied with his work, it was true that he had the advantage of knowing what was going to happen, but that didn’t stop him from celebrating his achievements. Yaxley truly thought of a very complicated way to hide his things.  Meanwhile, Harry smiled once he saw a space with only a small key on it.

“This is it,” he smirked and then went upstairs.

Once he reached the second floor, there were two paths to choose from, he went left, knowing that if he went right, like anyone would do in a situation like this, he would probably find himself under an illusion charm, the bastard truly thought well how to hide his stuff.

“Let’s go to his room.” Harry wasn’t happy with the idea of visiting an old man’s room, considering how messy his father’s spare room usually is.

Surprisingly, the room was clean today, he looked at it for some moments, there were some paintings too, even the Mona Lisa was here, it was interesting how they seemed to hate muggles but they also loved to steal their stuff, some pro magic propagandists say that Leonardo Davinci was a wizard but it didn’t make sense because all his inventions were of muggle origin, for being a genius wizard he contributed nothing to the magical society.

“Well, let’s get this over with,” Harry declared as he pointed his wand at the bed. “Confrigo!” He screamed, and soon the bed was blown into pieces.

He knew Yaxley had a different method, but Harry had no time for subtleties, the bed was magical, and it moved at command, however, it only obeyed the owner of the bed, so there was no point in being gentle and then, after the mess of the bed was cleared, there he found a lock where the bed should be.

“Well, it’s time for you to shine,” Harry said as he looked at the key.

He inserted the key without any complications, then he descended downstairs he was able to feel a strange force nearby, however, he knew it was nothing but an illusion.

Then he finally reached the floor and after clapping his hands, the place was suddenly lighted up, and now he was looking at two doors, he didn’t waste time and decided to go to the left door, of course, it asked a password once again the other password proved that Yaxley was a very basic person, this time the combination was four, three, two and one.

“Interesting,” Harry said with a slight smirk as he looked at the sight in front of him.

It was a mountain of gold and other treasures, there were precious stones too and some chests, Harry couldn’t help but feel satisfied, this was one of the reasons why he came here, he needed fundings for what he was planning to do, he hated being dependent on Malfoy because even he had a limit of how much money he could withdraw from his accounts.

“Well, let’s get this over with!” Harry declared with a huge grin.

Suddenly he took a pouch out of his pocket and then he started to fill it with all the things that were in the room, luckily it was a bottomless pouch so, he had no problem getting everything on it, he then was surprised to see a lock on the floor, he opened it and he was expecting many things on it.

“Well, this sucks,” he said as he grabbed the map, he was surprised to see some locations marked…Little Hangleton cemetery? Why?” He said, disappointed in the end, he still grabbed the map anyway and then left things as they were before he used the key.

“Having fun?” A voice that made Harry shiver was heard.

He looked back and there he was, the man who owned this place, Yaxley was looking at him with hatred, clearly losing everything he owned didn’t make him happy, however, Harry, on the other hand, couldn’t help but smirk, this was an opportunity he couldn’t lose.
