We were walking on a hillside Ron leading, Hermione in the middle, and Harry an I trailed not far behind her.

"Not still mad at him, are you?" Harry asked softly and I smiled

"I'm always mad at him. He's a real git but...he's my boyfriend." I shrugged and Harry laughed

"Don't laugh, I'm sure Draco will be worse. I hope you're ready, he plans to tame that hair of yours." I joked and he rolled his eyes

"Can't wait."

We stood outside the Lovegood home as Hermione knocked on the door

"Keep off the dirigible plums." Ron mumbled and we turned to look at him confused so he pointed to the sign that he'd apparently been reading  the did in fact say that in big bold letters

KEEP OFF THE DIRIGIBLE PLUMS

Just then the door swung open to reveal Xenophilius Lovegood barefoot looking like he'd been rolling around in dirt for hours

"What is it? Who are you? What do you want-" He stop when his eyes landed on Harry

"Hello, Mr. Lovegood. I'm Harry
Potter. We met a few months back?" Harry spoke softly

"Would it be okay if we came in?
It won't take long, sir. I promise." He continued when we didn't receive a response and Xenophilius seemed to be studying Harry for some reason

He stepped back to let us in as I immediately noticed the copies of the quibbler that lay scattered around in various stacks. Each headline seemed for worrisome than the last
'MUGGLE MURDERS RISE'
'DOZENS DIE AS DEATH EATERS ATTACK'
'HARRY IN HIDING?!WHERE IS THE CHOSEN ONE?'
'YOU-KNOW-WHO CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM'
'QUIDDITCH WORLD CUP CANCELLED AMID DEATH THREATS.'

"So. What brings you here, Mr. Potter?" Xenophilius asked after he tuned off his printing press

"Well, sir, we need some help." Harry said awkwardly

"Ah. Help. I see. Yes, well, the thing is, helping Harry Potter, rather dangerous these days..." he responded strangely as the four of us shared a glance unable to determine if this was his usual oddness or if we should be concerned

"Aren't you the one who keeps
telling everyone it's their first duty to help Harry?" Ron asked

"I have expressed that view, yes.
In the past. Would you excuse me one moment. I shall return shortly and, um, try to help you..." He murmured before leaving the room

"What's going on here?" Harry asked turning to us

"I don't know but I'm getting that bad feeling again."

"He's mental. Let's face it.
Luna's always good value, but she's nutty as squirrel poo." Ron pointed out and I rolled my eye

"Luna's not that bad."

"Right, no of course the girl is lovely." Ron mumbled immediately agreeing with me and I gave him an odd look before my attention was drawn to Hermione.

"Do you see that?" She gasped pointing to a large spiral horn on the wall and we nodded

"Well, yeah, of course. It's
massive, isn't it?" Ron joked
