the Other Potter (draco malfoy)

69. snatched

We all sat around the table inside the lovegood house with a mug of tea.

"Where's Luna?" I asked. "Luna? She'll come along" Xenophilius replied, I don't believe it though. We all raised our mug as we saw him drinking and drunk the tea.

"So, how can I help you potters?" He said. "Actually it was about something you were wearing around your neck at the wedding. A symbol" harry said. "You mean this?" Xenophilius said pulling the necklace from his t-shirt.

"Yes that, what we wondered was....what is it?" I asked. "What is it? Well, it's the sign of the deathly hallows of course" Xenophilius said. "The what?" All of us asked. "The deathly hallows. I assume you all are familiar with the tales of the three brothers?" Xenophilius said.

"Yes" me, hermione and ron said while harry said no. He turned to me with confusion. "How did you know it?" He asked. "Mom read it to us when we were little" I said remembering it.

"I have it in here" hermione said and pulled out a book.

'What do you want me to read for you?' Mom said after puting me in my cradle.

"Beedle the bard!' I said excitedly.

I smiled at the memory.

"There were once three brothers, who were traveling all along a lonely, winding road at twilight" Hermione was cut off by Ron.

"Midnight. Mom always say midnight" he mumbled but hermione gave him a death glare. "But twilight is fine. Better actually" he said. I tried my best not to laugh right now. "Do you want to read it?" She asked ron. "What? No" he said.

"There were once three brothers, who were traveling all along a lonely, winding road at twilight. In time, the brothers reached a river too treacherous to pass. However, these brothers were learned in magical arts, so they simply waved their Wands and made a bridge. Before they could cross however, they found their path blocked by a hooded figure. It was death and he felt cheated. Cheated because the travelers would normally be drowning in the river. But death was cunning, he pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic, and said that each had earned a prize for having been clever enough to evade him

The oldest, ask for wand more powerful than in any existence. So death fashioned him one from an eldest treethat stood nearby

The second brother, decided he wanted to humiliate death even farther and asked for the power to recall the loved ones from the grave. So death popped a stone from the river and offered it to him.

Finally, death turn to the third brother. The humble man, he asked for something that would allow him to go forth from that place without being followed by death. And so it was, death reluctantly handed over his owl cloak of invisibility

The first brother traveled into a distant village. While with the elder wand in hand, he killed a wizard who he had once quarrel. Drunk with the power that the elder wand given him, he braged of his invincibility. But that night, another wizard stole the wand and slit the brother's throat for good measure. And so death took the first brother for his own

The second brother journeyed to his home where he took the stone and turned it trice in hand. To his delight the girl who he'd once hoped to marry before her untimely death, appear before him. Yet soon she get sad and cold for she did not belong in the mortal world. Driven mad for hopeless longing the second brother took his own life so as to join her. So death took the second brother.
