liv. the lovegoods'

After a couple of days, Harry realised that his hair was growing a bit, so he had two options: cut it or grow it out. The latter sounded better, so he needed a hair tie because it was actually pony-able. He dug into his everyday jean pocket and found the hair tie that Hermione had given him for Pansy's hair. He'd only seen Pansy tie her hair up and so he bunched up the tiny strands that were cascading down the back of his neck and gently tickling him and tied it together. Seemed pretty comfortable, he thought as he conjured a mirror, and it looks amazing. Harry smiled as Hermione walked in and stopped short "looks cute!" and then continued. She stood on the top of the stairs as to appear taller than Ron, because even Voldemort knew that Hermione was taller than Harry. She cleared her throat and said "we need to visit the Lovegoods, I think Mr. Lovegood knows something about that symbol which kept popping up," Harry and Ron agreed because both of them knew that she was right and Harry especially when he saw Krum's reaction to the necklace.

They decided to leave tomorrow. Until they, they'd keep reading and taking notes and trying not to crumble from the immense amount of pressure on their shoulders, the worst part of that was that each of them tried to stay strong for the other. The next morning came and Harry created a portal to Ottery St. Catchpole and they were so close to the Burrow that it was weird to not go there. As they were climbing the hill, the phone in Harry's pocket started ringing and he picked it up and said "yello?" Remus chuckled and said "I met Bill the other day and he told me to tell you his and Fleur's address, yeah, it's-" Ron cut him off here and said "I already know it, he told me ages ago, I'm his Secret Keeper," Remus said "oh okay, good," and cut the call. They made their way up the hill(art) and and got tired in less than 3m of walking. Harry had an amazing idea right then.

He used all of his power and levitated himself, Ron and Hermione towards the Lovegoods house. Hermione looked worried but said "you could've done this the entire time and you do it now?!" Harry scowled at her and said "well, excuse me for not wanting to misuse my powers," she shrugged in agreement and they reached what they could only assume was a house designed by none other than the Lovegoods. He saw the signs on the door:

X. Lovegood

Editor of the Quibbler

Keep off the Dirigible Plums 

Harry chuckled at the last sign and Ron did too after he finished reading it. Hermione knocked on the door and Mr. Lovegood came out and said "yes?" rather abruptly and harshly from when Harry last met him. Harry walked to the front and said "Mr. Lovegood? I'm Harry Potter, we met at Bill and Fleur's wedding, this August?" he registered what Harry said and said "what do you want, Mr. Potter?" again, rather harshly, startling the three because of the contrast from the cheerful, yellow-wearing, smiley Xenophilius Lovegood. He let them in and Harry said "what was the symbol that you wearing at the wedding that day?" Hermione gave him a look which he took as 'good job' in a sarcastic manner. Mr. Lovegood merely smiled and said "ah, you mean the Deathly Hallows?" "the what?" the three of them chorused. Mr. Lovegood chuckled and said "are you familiar with 'The Tale of the Three Brothers'?" Hermione and Ron said "yes," while Harry said "no," and Mr. Lovegood said "never you mind, I have copy right here, I'll read it to you," and he got off his chair and in a rather frazzled state, he went and looked around the room. 

Hermione stopped him and said "I've got a copy right here, sir. I'll read it, why don't you sit down?" in an unnaturally sweet voice, one which startled the three of them, because they never knew that a sound so Umbridge-y could ever come out off Hermione's mouth.

She read the story and Mr. Lovegood said "well, there you have it," Harry was shook. He just listened to an entire story for kids and was supposed to magically learn about the Deathly Hallows?! Good Lord! He kept his calm and said "what?" and Mr. Lovegood explained them and said "now, you know!" Harry didn't think anyone would ever cook up such bullshit and then thought about his Cloak of Invisibility and started rethinking the story and stood up and said "thank you sir, we'll be leaving now," Mr. Lovegood stood up rather abruptly and said "no, you can't!" startling the three and then he crumpled to the ground and his entire form shook.

Harry, Ron and Hermione crouched down to his level and sat cross-legged and Ron said "sir, are you okay?" as Harry and Hermione rubbed circles on his back to calm him down. He kept wheezing and Harry, Ron and Hermione tried their best to not lose their patience. He cried and in the middle of sobs he said "the Death Eaters have my Luna, my Luna. They took her because they didn't like what i was writing in the Quibbler," Harry sympathised with him, he never had anyone he loved taken away from him, that he remembered clear as day or recently and he said "it's okay sir, I'm sure Luna's fine, she's much stronger than any of us give her credit for, I know that she'll be talking to whoever she can about Nargles and spreading joy wherever she is," he calmed down after listening to Harry's words and said "but... she's my baby. After Pandora, she's all I have left," Ron nodded sympathetically and said "I promise, sir, we'll find her," his eyes shone with happiness and he said "thank you," and sprung off of the floor.

Harry was glad he was happier now and he said "please don't lose hope, we'll do our best for you to see Luna again," they left and Ron said "how do we find her?" Harry looked at him and said "we ask Draco," and then he tapped his ring with his wand and said "Dray?" he heard Draco hum in return and he asked "do you know where Luna is?" Draco replied instantly "she, Ollivander and Griphook are here, in our cellar, they're trapped but I've been sneaking them some extra food,"

Harry's chest shone with pride as he heard Draco mutter the last part. Harry said "okay, see you in some time," knowing that Draco was at the Manor for Easter. Draco said "what?" and before anyone could say anything Harry made a portal back to their tent and packed it. Hermione said "what the hell are you doing?!" he said "hit me with a stinging jinx, right on the face, do it!" she looked at him like he was crazy and muttered the Spell. It hurt like a bitch, but what was to come, would be worse. He took a deep breath, and calmed himself went to where Ron and Hermione were standing, held their hands and said "Voldemort." before anyone could say anything, the Snatchers swooped in.
