By the time we packed everything up and made our way to Lovegood's home it was late in the afternoon.

Ron ran up grinning. "Luna?" Ron called out. We all looked at Ron and called out too,

"Luna!" We yelled. We walk closer to the house and read the sign they had. "Keep off the dirigible plums," Ron read.

Just then the door burst open and Xenophilius Lovegood came out, "who are you? He said looking at Ron, Hermione and I.

"What do you-," Lovegood stopped mid sentence when he saw Harry.

"Hello, Mr Lovegood I'm Harry Potter, We met a few month ago," Harry said.

"Would it be okay if we came in? It won't take long sir, I promise," Harry said. Lovegood let's us in and we go to sit.

"So, what brings you here, Mr Potter?" he asked. "Well sir we need some help," Harry said.

"Ah, help I see, yes well, the thing is helping Harry Potter is rather dangerous these days..." Lovegood replied.

We all exchange glances, "Aren't you the one who keeps telling everyone it's their first duty to help Harry?" Ron said.

"I have expressed that, yes, in the past, would you excuse me one moment, I shall return shortly and um, try to help you..." Love good said.

Mr Lovegood leaves the room, "what's going on here?" Harry said.

"He's mental, let's face it, Luna's always good value, but she's nutty as squirrels poo," Ron said.

Lovegood walks in with a tray rattling with cups. "May I offer you all an infusion of Gurdyroots? We make it ourselves," He said.

"Where is Luna sir?" Hermione asked. "Luna, she'll come along, now how can I help you Mr Potter," he said.

"It was about something you were wearing round your neck at the wedding, A symbol," Harry said. "You mean this?" Lovegood replied pointing at his necklace.

"Yes, That exactly, What we've wondered is, what is it?" Harry asked. "What is it? Well, it's the sign of the Deathly Hallows, of course," he replied.

"The what?" Harry asked. "The Deathly Hallows, I assume you're all familiar with The Tale of the Three Brothers," Lovegood said. "Yes," Hermione, Ron, and I said. "no" Harry said.

"I have it in here,There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at twilight." Hermione started reading the story.

"In time, the brothers reached a river too treacherous to pass, But being learned in 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," Hermione said.

"The oldest asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence, So Death fashioned him one 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," I said.

"The first brother traveled to a distant village where, with the Elder Wand in hand he killed a wizard with whom he had once quarreled, Drunk with the power that the Elder Wand had given him he bragged of his invincibility, But that night, another wizard stole the wand and slit the brother's throat for good measures, 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 thrice in hand, To his delight, the girl he'd once hoped to marry before her untimely death appeared before him," Ron said.
