Sometimes the only payoff for having any faith

All along you're hiding even when you're by my side❞

          LUCIA LET OUT A COHERENT "Oof" as she rolled on the ground. Opening her eyes, she realised that they seemed to have landed in the corner of a field at dusk. She looked around and saw Hermione already running in a circle around them, waving her wand.

"Protego Totalum... Salvio Hexia..."

"That treacherous old bleeder!" Ron panted, emerging from beneath the Invisibility Cloak and throwing it to Harry, who Lucia had just realised was scrambling up to his feet. "Hermione, you're a genius, a total genius, I can't believe we got out of that!"

"Cave Inimicum... Didn't I say it was an Erumpent horn, didn't I tell him? And now his house has been blown apart!"

"Ha... ha..." Lucia laughed nervously, getting up to her feet, brushing the excess grass off her long skirt, "Yeah... imagined if someone was dumb enough to want to touch it..."

Harry sent a half-amused and half-expected gaze.

"Serves him right," said Ron, examining his torn jeans and the cuts to his legs. "What d'you reckon they'll do to him?"

"I hope they don't kill him though..." mumbled Lucia. "As a traitor as he was, he also did it for a valid reason."

"That's why I wanted the Death Eaters to get a glimpse of Harry before we left," claimed Hermione, "so they knew Xenophilius hadn't been lying!"

"Why hide me, though?" asked Ron.

"You're supposed to be in bed with spattergroit, Ron! They've kidnapped Luna because her father supported Harry! What would happen to your family if they knew you're with him?"

"But what about your mum and dad?"

"They're in Australia," said Hermione. "They should be all right. They don't know anything."

"You're a genius," Ron repeated, looking awed.

"Yeah, you are, Hermione," agreed Harry fervently. "I don't know what we'd do without you."

"You'd be six feet underground months ago," Lucia joked.

They chuckled, and Hermione beamed at them.

"What about Luna?"
