It had been two days since Luna disappeared. It was an all-out man hunt now; the entire Wizarding World knew the suspect's face.
The man's name was Ethan Miller, and Harry had been tracking him nonstop for months. The guy was a genius; no one could locate him. This, however, was an unexpected feat. All of his previous crimes had been for money, and money only, so this kidnapping was very unusual.
Luna's ransom note had come within the first 12 hours, a relief to all. This was some proof towards the verdict that Ethan was just trying to get money out of her.
The money offer was huge.
"I don't see why we can't just give him the damn money!" yelled Draco. Astoria laid a hand on his arm to calm him down.
"Because, Draco, that'd be giving in. We can't give him what he wants!" Harry insisted, and Ginny nodded.
"This isn't some bully, Harry, we're not in Hogwarts, okay? Those school ground tactics don't apply, okay? This is Luna's life we're talking about! You can't treat him like you used to treat me!" Draco shot back, standing to face Harry.
"Look, Draco, if we make it that easy for him to get what he wants, he's going to do this again. I have to catch him now. It's what Luna would want us to do." Harry explained.
Draco sighed in defeat.
"Mr. Potter?" a shaky voice sounded behind them. They turned to see Harry's intern, holding a slip of paper in his hand. He held it out to Harry, who took it and read it. He sat down, and put a trembling hand over his eyes. He held it out to Ginny, who read it aloud.
"513 Thistletoe St., Wales, UK. Be there with the money tomorrow night alone, or she dies."
