Harry's POV
We woke up and we started to walk on the hillside.

Ron was ahead of us and I was with Hermione.
"You're not still mad at him, are you?" I whispered to Hermione.
"I'm always mad at him." she replied.

I sighed at that.
"What about Erika? You haven't answer her yet." she said.

I gulped my saliva and didn't reply
We saw Ron stopped and we saw a house up ahead.
"Luna." said Ron.
"Luna." Hermione and I said.

We walked up to the house and it was kind of creepy. Hermione knocked on the door.
"Keep off the dirigible plums." Ron read.
"Interesting." Erika said. Then the door opened.

"What is it? Who are you? What do you want?" asked Mr. Lovegood.
"Hello, Mr. Lovegood. I'm Harry Potter. We met a few months ago." I said. He went quiet.
I walked up to the door.

"Could we come in?" I asked. He nodded and let us in.

As we went in, he gave us tea and there was an awkward silence.
"Where's Luna?" Hermione asked.
"Luna? She'll be along." Mr. Lovegood replied.

We awkwardly drank our tea.

"So...how can I help you, Mr. Potter?" he asked.
"Well, actually. It was about something you were wearing round your neck at the wedding. A symbol." I replied.

He held out his necklace and showed it to me.

"You mean this?" he asked.
"Yes. That exactly." I replied.

"What we've wondered is, what is it?" I asked.
"What is it? Well, it's the sign of the Deathly Hallows, of course." he said.
"The what?" Hermione, Erika and Ron asked.
"The what?" I asked.
"The Deathly Hallows. I assume you're all familiar with "The Tale of o the Three Brothers." he said.
"Yes." said Hermione and Ron.
"No." Erika and I said as we shook our heads.

"I have it in here." said Hermione. She pulled out her book in her bag.

"There were once three brothers...who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at twilight." Hermione read but Ron cut in.
"Midnight. Mom always said, "midnight." he said.

We all gave him a weird look.
"But 'twilight's" fine. Better, actually." said Ron.
"Do you want to read it?" Hermione asked.
"No it's fine." Ron said.

"So there you are. Those are the Deathly Hallows." said Mr. Lovegood.
"I'm sorry, sir. I still don't quite understand." I said.
Mr. Lovegood walked over and he was looking for a piece of paper.
He found one and found a pen.

He drew a straight line on the paper.
"The Elder Wand. The most powerful wand ever made."

Then he drew a circle under the line.

"The Resurrection Stone."

The he drew a triangle around them.

"The Cloak of Invisibility. Together, they make the Deathly Hallows. Together, they make one master of Death." he said.

"That mark was on a grave in Godric's Hollow. Uh, Mr. Lovegood, does the Peverll Family...have anything to do with the Deathly Hallows?" Hermione asked.

"Uh--Uh---Ignotus---Excuse me. --and his brothers, Cadmus and Antioch are thought to be the original owners of the Hallows...and therefore the inspiration for the story. Uh--Uh--But your tea's gone cold. I'll be right back." He left to the kitchen.

"Let's get out of here. I'm not drinking any more of that stuff, hot or cold." said Ron as he picked up in bag.
"I agree. Something's fishy around here and I don't like it." Erika said.

We agreed and we went downstairs.

"Thank you, sir." said Hermione.
Mr. Lovegood looked at us.

"You forgot the water." said Ron.
"Water?" he asked.
"For the tea." Ron added.
"Did---? Did I?" He asked. Then he laughed nervously.
"How silly of me."

"It's no matter. We really should be going anyway." said Hermione.
"No, you can't!" Mr. Lovegood shouted. He suddenly blocked the door.
"Sir?" I asked him. He's been acting weird lately.

"You're my only hope." he said, looking at us.
"They were angry, you see, about what I'd been writing. So they took her. They took my Luna." he said.

He walked up to me and removed my hair, showing my scar.
"But it's really you they want." he said.
"Who took her, sir?" I asked.

"Voldemort." he said.
Suddenly, we heard shrieking outside.

"Death Eaters." Erika mumbled.

They were shooting spells.

"I got him! I got him!" I heard Mr. Lovegood yelled.

Hermione and Ron started to crawl, but I felt someone's missing.

Erika!

I looked around and she was on the other side. I quickly grabbed her hand.
She looked scared as she looked at me. I gave her a nod.

We both crawled to Hermione and Ron, grab their hands and we apparated out.
