Oh how I've missed him. Harry and Ron came back into the tent and sat back down on the bed.

"Hey, Harry?" Mattheo called to him.

"Yeah?" he answered.

"You need a wand, don't you?" Mattheo walked over to his rucksack and pulled out not one but two extra wands. "Take your pick," he smirked.

"Mattheo why do you have two extra wands?" I asked with concern. He hesitated for a while. "Mattheo?"

"Okay don't freak out-"

"Not a good way to start that sentence," I said with a straight face.

"I may have killed a couple of death eaters." He said watching every movement in my face. My eyes went wide and I was beginning to feel sick. He rushed over to me. "I only did it to escape! If I hadn't have killed them then I wouldn't be where I am now. In front of you." He held my hands in his. "I'm sorry darling."

I didn't say anything. "It's just a bit of a shock that's all. I mean you did murder someone- two people by the looks of it. Tell me they were bad people,"

"Darling, they were death eaters. Horrible," he said. "The very worst."

"Okay," I said quietly.

"Okay?"

"Okay," I repeated. He kissed me on the forehead before heading over to Harry. "Yeah take your pick." He grabbed one of them and pointed it towards the flame of the lantern.

"Engorgio" The flame shot up aggressively, startling us all. "Reducto!" Harry shouted.

"What on earth are you doing?" Hermione came into the room from the kitchen.

"Nothing." We all said in unison, looking at one another with wide eyes.

"We need to talk," She said. "I want to go see Xenophilius Lovegood."

"Sorry?" Harry said.

"Luna's father?" Mattheo asked. I nodded.

"See this," Hermione handed Harry another book. "It's a letter Dumbledore wrote to Grindelwald. Look at the signature. It's the mark again."

"It keeps cropping up!" I said.

"In Beedle the Bard," She said.

"That graveyard in Godric's Hollow."

"It was there, too." Harry said in realization.

"Where?" Hermione asked.

"Outside Gregorovitch's wand shop."

"But what does it mean?" Ron asked.

"Look, you've got no idea where the next Horcrux is and neither do I." Hermione said to Harry. "But this, this means something. I'm sure of it."
