This chapter is dedicated to one of my closest friend who has threatened my life if I don't update before I leave and also who has been a huge support to me. So here's a huge shout out to IWillGoWithYouHarry.
Also again I know it's been too long since I updated but here it is now.
Disclaimer remains the same but with a couple of additions…. Firstly I don't know if a treasure hunt or something similar has been done in an another story if so then the idea may be the same but the writing is all mine (who else will write such shit) and also the riddles are not mine but out of one of my younger sister's riddle book so I got no claim on them
And also thank you all so much…8 follows and 3 favorites on my first story is just amaze balls so I just want to thank everyone for reading the absolute crap that I write.
Here's the next chapter
Chapter 3
Draco stood at the entrance of the tent, shocked at what he had just witnessed. Asking Ginny to leave Blaise gestured Draco to follow him to the backyard. Settling themselves under the tree, the questions began and replies were given.
"Since when has this been going on Blaise and why dint you tell me?" Asked Draco
"You would have freaked out and probably done something stupid seeing as you don't particularly like Ginny or any of her friends. You're my best mate, the only person I can call family and she's the love of my life, I didn't want to have to choose between the both you." Was Blaise's reply
"Freaked out…Freaked out!? You're dating that Weaslette and you expect me to not freak out. I mean WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU BLAISE…..? You are Blaise Zabini, heir of the Zabini fortune and I don't think anyone needs an introduction to the Weasley's Gringotts vault. She doesn't fit in your family and its back ground mate. Your mother will never approve of her and that is something you can be sure of."
"Well I dint think I would be telling YOU about how a bank balance and social status affect how you feel about someone. After all considering you overlooked what is said to be the most siginificant divider in the wizarding world for…." Spoke Blaise only to be cut off by Draco
"BLAISE I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT HER. She is the past and there is nothing more I could want than to forget anything to do with her." Said Draco
"So you know that you can't base you affections on all these worthless things because love doesn't work like that, neither can you control it and nor can you choose whom you fall in love with. And also as far as my mother is concerned, she did not ask for my approval for all her 3 ex-husbands so I don't think she has the right to approve or disapprove of Ginny."
"What about the Weaslette's family? As far as those Weasleys are concerned there is no way in hell that they will accept you especially considering the Great War, after all they did lose a son. And since you are Slytherin, you are without doubt put on the Dark Side. "
"We've thought about it all Draco, and even though it would be difficult convincing her family but I will put my best foot forward and we have each other then the hurdles will be crossed hand in hand. But as I said earlier, you are the only one I can call family, so your opinion matters to me and I just hope you can accept her for my happiness." Said Blaise earning him a friendly punch from Draco
So lost in their conversation were they that the time seemed to fly by, and the chimes from the camp clock reminded them of the beginning of the scavenger hunt. Bidding goodbye to Draco, Blaise moved to the starting point of the race where Luna stood, with the rest of the pairs, waiting for him.
Seconds later Professor McGonagall arrived with a breathless Filch scurrying behind.
"Have all the pairs participating in the hunt arrived?" asked Professor McGonagall and on receiving an affirmation of the above she continued.
"As I explained earlier, this task will challenge and test the bond between you and your partner. Each pair will be given 6 clues in total, 3 for the ladies and 3 for men, all of which are the same for every pair. The clues are designed such that it will lead you to where you are meant to be. The clues are enchanted and contain riddles which on solving will give you the place where you will obtain your next clue. I would like you all to come up front and collect your clues from Mr. Filch and myself.
After all the clues had been distributed Professor McGonagall blew the whistle marking the beginning of the race. The girls were to start from the east end of the camp while the boys from the west. Opening her first clue, Ginny Weasley read "Different lights make me strange, for each one my size will change" Confusion clouded her mind, moving her hand to block the sun disturbing her eyes when the answer hit her. The card no longer read the riddle but showed a map marking her next destination, The Waterfalls.
Meanwhile the boys were faring just as well as the girls when it came to solving the clues, the first clue for the boys, "Alone I am 24th, with a friend I am 20. Another friend and I am unclean" left Blaise blank. Rereading the clue for what seemed to be the millionth time, he was unable to make any sense of it. Frustration got to the best of him and out came a stream of fucks and shits along came the answer to the riddle followed by the map to the swamps.
Luna was doing exceptionally well, solving her first clue in a matter of seconds, she arrived at the Back waters and saw her next clue sitting on an aqua green rock similar to the color of the piece of parchment she had pulled out earlier. Written on the clue was "When the day after tomorrow is yesterday, today will be as far from Wednesday as today was from Wednesday when the day before yesterday was tomorrow. What is tomorrow?" For any regular person this riddle would have sounded nonsensical but Luna was different, and to her this riddle made absolute sense. The answer and map came in no time and before you could say fabulous she had proceeded towards the Rocky cliffs.
At last arriving at the Green Valley after spending an ample amount of time figuring out the first clue, Harry Potter was out of breath. As he saw his clue perched on the lush grass he dove for his second one. "500 is at my end and my start, yet 5 is at my heart. The first letter and the first number make me complete. My name is that of a king." Was written in it, again leaving Harry baffled at what could possibly be the answer to this ridiculous riddle. Time seemed to fly by as he stood there trying to figure out what the clue could be referring to and finally he cracked it. Guided to the Mystic Meadows by the map he dashed towards the waterfalls on his way there.
Never judge a book by its cover, the same could be said for Luna Lovegood. Who could have imagined the girl who people called Loony to be the fastest one to solve both her riddles with plenty of time in hand. Knowing she was faster than the rest, Luna took her own sweet time to walk to her last clue. When she arrived at the Rocky Cliffs, a similar piece of paper was placed in the hollow of the single tree that stood the top. Opening her final clue she read "We hurt without moving. We poison without touching. We bear the truth and the lies. We are not to be judged by our size."
While Luna was mulling over her final clue, Harry had arrived at his final hurdle. Wasting no time in opening the clue which said "You struggle to regain me. When I'm lost, you struggle to obtain me. I pass no matter your will, but I'm your slave to kill." And the last one was the best, taking less than a minute to figure it out. As the map reappeared for the final time that evening directing him to the Rushing River past the Rocky Cliffs
Luna not being able to figure out her last clue when something caught her eye it seemed to her like a hammaskeiju, the fuzzy beings in the air that make you smarter by sitting on your head. So lost was she in the hammaskeiju that she did not notice the uneasy rocks.
Just as Harry was crossing the Rocky cliffs, he heard a loud yell. Running in the direction of the scream, he reached the cliff top only to see Luna hanging on to the support of a low hanging branch to prevent herself from falling off the cliff. Rushing forward to help her, Harry extended his hand to her and pulled her up engulfing her into a hug of comfort.
"What happened Luna? How did you fall? Are you okay?" he asked with worry.
"Oh Harry I thought I had seen a hammaskeiju and I wanted to retrieve it to help me with the clues but I didn't notice the faulty rocks and I slipped." Luna replied
"A what? A hammaskeiju?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? YOU COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, DID YOU THINK OF YOUR FATHER? WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED? WHAT ABOUT GINNY AND HERMIONE? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHAT ABOUT M…?" Harry blasted at Luna.
"What about who Harry?" asked Luna, making Harry aware of the proximity between them, his hand of her waist and hers on his chest.
As she gazed into his green almond eyes with her silver ones, Harry felt a strange sensation, which did not want to let her go. Lost in the eyes of one another, passion and desire surrounding them, Harry pulled Luna closer.
Leaning down closer to her, so close that he could feel her breath on his neck, he took her face in his hands and kissed her.
