- No One To Trust -

Haylee, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all panting as the walked up the last hill to the Lovegoods house. It was almost like the Weasley's only darker and dark clouds swirled over it.

One thought raced against Haylee's mind. 'Did they take Luna yet?' And if they did, it wasn't going to end well for the gang.

They all walked up to the porch and Ron snorted at the don't stand on the flying plums sign. "Who are you? What do you want?" Mr. Lovegood said as his shaggy hair covered his pale face and Haylee's eyes widened.

"We shouldn't be here." She mumbled and Harry shook it off.

"We have to know what the symbol means." He whispered to the blonde while she shook slightly in her boots.

"Hello, Mr. Lovegood, I'm Harry Potter. We met a few months ago." Harry said as he walked up to the door. "Could we come in?" He asked and Mr. Lovegood sighed and allowed them to go into the living room as they sat in awkward silence.

"Where is Luna?" Hermione asked as Haylee stiffened in her seat and Harry could tell. His eyes darkened.

'What are you not telling us?' He mouthed the question as she shook.

'They took Luna.' She mouthed back and Harry's eyes widened as he stayed in his seat.

"Luna? She'll be along." He lied through his teeth and Harry waved it off just to get the answer to the symbol.

"So, how can I help you Mr. Potter?" He asked while everyone took a slurp of their tea.

"Well, actually, it's about the symbol you were wearing around your neck at the wedding." He said while Haylee stared down at the old man.

"You mean this?" He asked and pulled out his sliver Triangle, Circle, Line symbol as Harry grabbed it and looked carefully at it.

"That exactly." He mumbled and Mr. Lovegood put it back to his chest. "What we wondered is, what is it?" Harry asked as Haylee felt goosebumps spread across her arms and she shivered slightly.

"Well, it's the sign of the deathly Hallow's of course." He said with a light grin looking at them like they were stupid.

Haylee furrowed her eyebrows. "The what?" She and Hermione asked at the same time as Mr. Lovegood looked over them.

"The deathly Hallow's. I assume you're all familiar of the tale of the three brothers." He asks and everyone nods their head except Harry.

"No." He stated and Mr. Lovegood looked over at him.

"I can tell you." Haylee said as she sighed. "Volde-" she started to say, but Mr. Lovegood tensed. "You know who made me memorize it." She said and looked down at her wand.

She swirled it around and imagines flew out in a globe. "There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at twilight." Haylee started and Ron stopped her.

"Midnight. Mum always said midnight." He said while she glared at him. "But twilights fine." He mumbled and she continued.

"There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at twilight. In time, the brothers reached a river that was too treacherous to pass. But, being learned in the magical arts, the three brothers simply waved their wands and made a bridge.
