Worlds Collide

Chapter Sixty Four

Rosella’s P.O.V
As time had passed, both Ron and I continued to stay together and stopped for a few hours to a couple of days before moving again until one day the both of us noticed something in a pond, “someone’s under there.” I said as I started taking off my coat, “you’re not going in there are you?” he asked me, “considering how cold it is right now, you might get Hypothermia if you were considering going in there.” I said to him, “I suppose you can do it then.” he said to me before I managed to go underwater to see someone struggling before noticing the Sword of Gryffidor and Grabbed it before grabbing onto the other before get him out of the water before I noticed that it was Harry after pulling him out, “Hermione?” he questioned, “not even close.” I said to him, “are you mental?” Ron said to him before Harry put on his glasses, “it was you?” he asked, “it was her actually.” Ron said to him and I waved at Harry, “yeah, I’m here and still kicking.” I said to him, “Did either of you cast the Doe as well?” he asked us, “no, mine’s a wolf. You and Lupin were the first to see it when he helped us with it.” I told him, “no, I thought it was you.” Ron told him, “no, my Patronus is a Stag.” Harry mentioned, “right, antlers.” Ron said as he made them with his hands, “so who wants to be the first to destroy it? Since I’m not in Gryffindor, you’ve got two options.” I asked them, “alright Ron, you do it.” Harry said, “I can’t handle it. That thing affects me more than it affects you and Hermione.” Ron told him, “all the more reason.” Harry told him, “no, I can’t.” Ron said to him, “then why are you here? Why did you come back?” Harry asked him, “don’t start. The both of you can fight all you want after You-Know-Who is dead.” I said to him as I held the sword out towards Ron and he just looked at me, “you can do this, I know you can.” I said to him and after a moment, he eventually took the sword before Harry spoke up again, “no I’ll have to speak to it in Order for it to open. When it does, don’t hesitate. I don’t know what’s in there but it’ll put up a fight. The bit of Riddle that was in the Diary tried to kill me.” Harry said to us and both Ron and I got ready before Harry eventually started speaking in Parseltongue and shortly after, the Locket had opened and something came out of it causing the three of us to fall back and take cover and I noticed Ron was struggling as th black smoke spoke to him, “come on Ron, don’t listen to what it’s saying to you. It’s not real.” I shouted it at him and after some time had passed, Ron finally managed to do something about it and destroyed the Locket. After we managed to destroy the Locket, the three of us took a moment as Harry and I stood up and walked over to Ron, “you did good.” I said to Ron, “just think, only three to go.” Ron said to us, “how many are there originally?” I asked them, “Six I think.” Harry told me and the three of us eventually made our way to the tent before Harry started calling for Hermione.

After a few moment’s she eventually walked out of the Tent before speaking up, “is everything alright?” she asked Harry, “it’s fine. Actually, you know, it’s more than fine.” Harry said before he pointed to Ron and myself, “hey.” Ron and I both said to her and she said nothing before she walked over to Ron and took off his back pact as she spoke up to him, “you complete Arse Ronald Weasley. You show up here after weeks and you say hey.” she said as she hit him, “where’s my wand Harry?” she asked him, “I don’t know.” Harry told her, “Harry Potter you give me my wand.” she said to him in anger, “how come he’s got your wand?” Ron asked her, “nevermind why he’s got my wand.” she said to him before she noticed what we did, “what is that?” she asked and Ron held up the Locket before she spoke up again, “you destroyed it? And how is it that you just happen to have the Sword of Gryffindor?” She asked us, “It's a long story.” Harry told her, “don’t think this changes anything.” she said before she tried walking off before Ro spoke up causing her to stop where she was, “of course not. I only just destroyed a bloody Horcrux, why would that change anything? Look, I wanted to come back as soon as I left, I just didn’t know how to find you.” Ron said, “yeah, how did you find us and Rosella for that matter?” Harry asked him, “with this.” Ron said before he held up the Deluminator Dumbledore had given him as he continued, “it doesn’t just turn off lights. I don’t know how it works but on Christmas Morning I was sleeping in this little pub, keeping away from some snatchers and I heard it.” Ron told us, “it?” Harry asked, “what did you hear?” I asked him, “a voice. Your voice Hermione, coming out of it.” Ron said, “And what exactly did I say, may I ask?” she asked him, “my name. Just my name like a whisper. So I took it, clicked it and this tiny ball of light appeared and I know. Sure enough it floated towards me, the ball of light, and went right into my chest. Went straight through me, right here and I knew it was going to take me where I needed to go. So I Disapparated and ended up finding Rosella in a cabin before we traveled and came to this hillside. We didn't know where we were going. I just hoped one of you would show yourselves and you did.” Ron said to them before Harry and Ron had walked into the tent and I had done the same and got changed into something dry before I went to sit outside with Hermione and the both of us talked about everything before we heard something from inside, “what’s going on in there?” she asked them, “nothing.” both of them said, “bloody Idiots I tell you.” I said to her and the both of us chuckled a little before the both of us went back inside, “we need to talk.” she told them, “yeah, alright.” Ron said before she walked past the both of them. Shortly after, Hermione eventually spoke up again, “I want to go and see Xenephilius Lovegood.” she said to them, “sorry?” Harry said to her, “see this, it’s a letter Dumbledore wrote to Grindelwald. Look at the signature. It’s the mark again.” Hermione said, “she said you’ve both been seeing it a lot.” I told Harry, “like she says, it keeps popping up.in Beedle the Bard. in the Graveyard in Godric's Hollow.” Hermione mentioned, “it was there too.” Harry said, “where?” Hermione and I asked, “outside Grigoravich’s Wand Shop.” Harry mentioned, “what does it mean?” Harry asked, “Look, you've got no Idea where the next Horcrux is and neither do I. but this, this means something. I’m sure of it.” Hermione said, “yeah, Hermioe’s right. We ought to see Lovegood. Let’s vote on it, those in favor.” Ron said to us as he raised a hand before I spoke up, “we’re going whether or not we vote on it.” I said to him and there was a moment of silence before Hermione walked away, and we all got everything ready to leave and once we had everything packed and ready to go, the four of us made our way to Luna’s. 

After some time had passed, Luna’s house was finally in sight and I let out a heavy sigh before Ron spoke up, “Luna.” he said, “Luna.” Harry, Hermione and myself said before we continued to make our way to Luna’s place. By the time we made it to Luna’s house, the four of us walked up to the door before Ron spoke up, “keep off the Dirigible Plums.” Ron read out and I noticed the sign he read it from, “they look like Balloons.” I said to them before the door opened to reveal Luna’s father, “what is it? Who are you? What do you want?” he asked us before Harry spoke up, “hello, Mr. Lovegood, I’m Harry Potter. We met a few months ago.” Harry told him before he got closer to Xenephilius before speaking again. “Can we come in?” Harry asked him and there was a few moment’s of awkward silence before he finally let us inside and the four of us stayed together as Xenephilius made a pot of tea before we all sat down. After some time had passed, Hermione finally broke the silence as she spoke up, “where is Luna?” she asked, “Luna? She’ll be along.” Xenpehilius said to her before we all took a drink before he spoke up again, “so, how can I help you Mr. Potter?” he asked Harry, “actually, it was about something you were wearing around your neck at the wedding. A symbol.” Harry told him before he held it up, “you mean this?” he asked, “yup, that’s it.” I said to him, “what we wondered is, what is it?” Harry asked him, “what is it? Well it’s the sign of the Deathly Hallows of course.” he told us, “the what?” we asked him, “the Deathly Hallows. I assume you’re all familiar with the tale of the three brothers.” he said to us, “yes.” Hermione and Ron said, “no.” Harry told them, “never heard of it till now.” I said to them and they all looked at Harry and myself, “what? This is one of the things we don't know about and you’re all surprised?” I asked them before Hermione spoke up, “I have it here.” she said before she looked for it in her purse before pulling it out and went to the story of the Three Brother’s and started reading it, “there were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at Twilight” she began to say before Ron spoke up, “midnight.” he mentioned and we all looked at him, “mum always said Midnight.” he told us, “are you reading it or is she?” I asked him, “Twilight's fine. Better actually.” He said before she continued reading, “there were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at Twilight. In time, th brother’s reached a river too treacherous to pass but what they learned the Magical Arts, the three brothers 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 travelers would normally drown 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 asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence so Death fashioned him a wand from an Elder Tree that stood nearby. The Second Brother decided he wanted to humiliate Death even further and asked for the Power to recall loved ones from the grave so Death plucked a stone from the River and offered it to him. Finally, Death turned to the third brother. A 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 that Death reluctantly handed over his own Cloak of Invisibility. The first brother traveled to a distant village where with the Elder wand in hand, he killed a Wizard with whom he had once quarles. Drunk with the power that the Elder Wand had given him, he bragged about 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 journeys to his home where he took the stone and turned it three thrice in hand.to his delight, the girl he once hoped to marry before her untimely death appeared before him yet soon she turned sad and cold for she did not belong in the mortal world. Driven mad with hopeless longing the second brother killed himself to join her and so death took the second brother. As for the third brother, Death searched for many years but was never able to find him. Only when he obtained a great age did the august brother shed the Cloak of Invisibility and give it to his son. He then greeted Death as an old friend and went with him gladly to parting this life as equals.” Hermione read to us.
