The morning sun shone brightly over Diagon Alley as Roy Valvas arrived at Gringotts Wizarding Bank, accompanied by Bela Lestrange and Narcissa Black. Both women walked gracefully beside him, their steps echoing through the marble hall of the goblin-run institution.
Roy handed the key to the goblin teller. "We'd like access to the Valvas family vault."
The goblin nodded, snapping his fingers for an escort. Moments later, they were gliding deep underground in the rattling cart, torchlight flickering over the jagged stone walls.
When the vault doors opened, a blinding golden glow filled the cavern. Mountains of gold galleons shimmered like sunlight on water — nearly 150 million galleons stacked in neat columns. Bela and Narcissa exchanged astonished glances, though they had known Roy's wealth was immense. Seeing it was another matter entirely.
Roy smiled faintly. "The Valvas legacy runs deep."
As he walked further inside, something caught his eye — a small, golden cup resting atop a velvet cloth. He frowned slightly, recognizing it from his earlier sorting of the Lestrange vault.
"Why would this be here…?"
He summoned his System Scan ability. A blue screen flickered before his eyes.
[Scanning Magical Artifact…]Item Identified: Hufflepuff's Cup (Voldemort's Horcrux)
Roy's expression hardened. "So, one more piece of that snake's soul."
With a thought, he commanded:
'System, destroy the Horcrux — preserve the artifact.'
A surge of white energy rippled through the vault. The faint, malevolent presence that lingered around the cup vanished — snuffed out like smoke in the wind. The golden cup gleamed brighter, purified and free of corruption.
Roy exhaled, then examined the description that appeared next:
[Relic: Hufflepuff's Cup]Effect — When placed in an environment rich in natural magic, it enhances magical flora and potion ingredient growth rates by 4×.
A slow smile curved his lips. "This… will be perfect for my pocket dimension."
The Gift of Growth
Returning home, Roy placed the Hufflepuff Cup within his pocket dimension's fertile fields — a realm already brimming with magical energy. The moment the cup settled into place, the entire area shimmered with golden light. The herbs and alchemical plants around it pulsed with new vitality.
A few moments later, the System chimed in:
[System Task Updated]Destroy Voldemort's Horcrux: (3/?)Find the Relics of Hogwarts Founders: (2/4)
Notice: Hidden Chain Activated — Combining Rewards…
Reward Granted: Zanpakutō — Kyōka Suigetsu (Shikai Unlocked; Bankai Locked)
Roy's heart leapt. Kyōka Suigetsu — the blade of illusion itself…
A radiant silver sword materialized before him, its form elegant and deadly. As he gripped the hilt, his reflection wavered in the mirrored blade. The weapon thrummed with quiet power.
Roy grinned. "Now this is worth celebrating."
Gold, Secrets, and Blushes
Turning to Bela and Narcissa, Roy pulled them both into a sudden embrace — pressing a soft kiss to each of their cheeks.
Bela blinked, crimson blooming on her pale face. "R-Roy!"Narcissa's composure faltered as a faint blush rose to her cheeks. "You're impossible sometimes," she murmured, though her lips curved in a smile.
Roy only laughed, taking both their hands as they exited Gringotts. They walked leisurely through Diagon Alley — Roy in the center, Bela on his left and Narcissa on his right. Every few steps, their hands brushed, and the women's blush deepened.
As they strolled, Roy casually mentioned, "Oh, and Narcissa — you'll find this amusing. Remember the diary your husband once had? The one he gave to the Weasleys?"
Narcissa frowned slightly. "Yes… what about it?"Roy smirked. "Turns out it was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Lucius had no idea he was babysitting a piece of his master's soul."
Narcissa blinked in surprise, then laughed softly — the first genuine laugh Roy had ever heard from her. "So even if I never sought revenge, Voldemort would have found a way to destroy Lucius himself."
Roy grinned. "Exactly."
Bela, however, had gone pale when she heard the word Horcrux."The cup… in the Lestrange vault," she said quietly. "That was his too?"
Roy nodded. "Yes. But it's gone now — purified. Don't worry, the Dark Lord won't be finding it again."
Still, her worry lingered. "If he realizes what happened…"
Roy chuckled, slipping an arm around her shoulders reassuringly. "Relax, Bela. Before I sold off the alchemy products, I merged the Frostborne and Lestrange vaults into the Valvas account. Then I forged documentation under a different family name. Voldemort won't even know who has it."
Bela stared at him, relief washing over her. Then Roy added teasingly, "Your idiot still cares too much, you know that?"
Her face turned scarlet. "R-Roy! You—!"
Narcissa laughed quietly at Bela's flustered expression as Roy chuckled, walking between them.
Evening at the Mansion
By evening, the trio arrived back at the Valvas estate. The sunset painted the horizon in gold and crimson hues. Roy still held both their hands, enjoying the comfortable warmth.
They talked, laughed, and teased each other all the way to the mansion steps — the kind of peaceful, human moments that even power and magic couldn't replace.
As the last light of day faded, Roy glanced at them both and smiled softly.
"Whatever comes next… I'm glad you're both here with me."
And for a fleeting moment, under the twilight sky, neither Bela nor Narcissa said a word — only smiled, knowing he meant every word.
