SURPRISES | Draco Malfoy

"Well, there you are. Those are the Deathly Hallows." Mr Lovegood said.

"Sorry... I still don't really understand." Harry said.

Me Lovegood turned and drew a straight vertical line. "The Elder Wand." He then added a circle. "The Resurrection Stone." Then a triangle. "The Cloak of Invisibility. Together, they make the Deathly Hallows. Together, they make one master of Death."

We stared at the symbol.

"Mr. Lovegood, does the Peverell family have anything to do with the Deathly Hallows?" Hermione asked.

"Ignotus and his brothers Cadmus and Antioch are thought to be the original owners of the Hallows and therefore the inspiration for the story." Mr Lovegood answered. "Ah, but your tea's grown cold. Excuse me, I'll be right back."

"Let's get out of here once he's back. I'm not touching this stuff, hot or cold." Ron said.

"Which one would you choose if you could? Of the Deathly Hallows?" I asked.

"Well. It's obvious, isn't it?" Hermione said.

We all spoke at the same time.

"The wand." Ron said.

"The Cloak." Hermione and I said.

"The stone." Harry said.

We glanced at each other, amused.

"You're supposed to say the Cloak, but who wants to spend all day being invisible. Dead boring if you ask me. But an unbeatable wand!" Ron said.

"Its owner grew drunk with power and was murdered." Hermione and I said at the same time. We looked at each other and giggled.

"Yeah, but imagine what a short wicked life you'd lead." Ron said.

"Why the Stone, Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Well, you could bring people back, couldn't you? Mad-Eye. Dumbledore. Sirius. Anybody." He explained.

"But according to the story they don't want to come back. It's all rubbish anyway. There's no such thing as the Deathly Hallows." Hermione said.

Then we went downstairs.

"Mr. Lovegood. Thank you, sir." Hermione said.

"You forgot the water." Ron said.

"The water?" Mr Lovegood asked.

"For the tea." Ron said.

"Did, didn't I? How silly of me." He replied.

"No matter, sir. We really ought to be going." I said.

"No you musn't." He then yelled. I took a step back, bumping into Ron hard.

"Sir?" Harry asked.

"You're my only hope. They were angry, you see, about what I'd been writing, so they took her. They took my Luna." He said.
"But it's really you they want."

"Who took her, sir?" Harry asked.

"Voldemort." He said.

Instantly, death eaters appear.

We were thrown onto the floor. Spells were thrown everywhere. Glass broke around us. I found Hermione, who grabbed my hand.

"Ron! Harry! Take my hand!" Hermione shouted.

Then we apparated away, somewhere in the woods.

"That treacherous old bleeder! Is there no one we can trust!" Ron said.

"They've kidnapped Luna because he supported me. He was just desperate." Harry said.

Ron said nothing. Suddenly I heard a sound. I looked at Hermione, she looked back at me. She heard it too.

"I'll do the enchantments." Ron said. We all walked in a different direction. I walked with Hermione, while rubbing the dirt off of my clothes.

When I looked up, we looked into the eyes of a snatcher.

"Hello, beautiful." He said.

We started running.

"Well don't hang about. Snatch them." The guy said as we ran away.

We ran as fast as we could, while things exploded around us.

Then Hermione stopped running. I bumped into her, then stopped to. We were surrounded by snatchers.

Hermione pointed her wand at Harry. Something hit him in his face, causing him to fall back. We made our way over to him.

"They exist. The Hallows." Harry said. "But he only wants the one, the last one. That's what he's been looking for. He knows where it is, You-Know-Who. He'll have it by the end of the night. He's found the Elder Wand."

Then the snatchers grabbed us.

"Don't touch her!" Ron shouted as they grabbed Hermione. A fist hits him hard!

"Stop it!" Hermione said.

"Your boyfriend'll get worse than that if he doesn't behave, lovely." The same guy as before said. "What happened to you, ugly?" He asked Harry.

Then they asked all our names.

"Change of plans. We're not taking this lot to the Ministry." He then said.
