It's high time I gave an update, don't you think?

PREVIOUSLY: She(Hermione) turned around, only to see a pearly white figure staring up at her. She could hardly control her scream.

"Do not fear," a beautiful woman spoke," I am the ghost of Beluina Black."

TILL NOW: Hermione heads to Herbe garden while Ron and Harry were summoned by luna to the ministry. a/n: the stroy starts with an overlap from the previous chapter. So, Hermione going to Herbe garden happens a little into this chapter.

"This Bruke guy is a descendant of any famous wizards we know?" Ron asked the people in the room, at last breaking the silence.

Hermione and Sirius had just finished explaining their events of the day.

"Nope!" said Hermione, "I looked through Wizarding Genealogy and he belonged to a family whose names have gone on changing over the years. But they are pure bloods."

"We had a Bruke in our year, didn't we Sirius?" Lily asked suddenly.

"Maybe. I didn't bother learning the names of the Slytherins. Was he a friend of Snivellus?"

"Don't call him that Sirius!" Ron, Hermione and Harry shouted together,

Sirius stared at them.

"It's just...he saved my life more than once. He died for me. Just don't ok?"

Sirius looked surprised as well as disappointed. He couldn't believe they were standing up against him for Snape.

But the need for an explanation was saved as a silver hare came bouncing in to the sitting room. The patronus gracefully looked up and spoke in the voice of Luna," You are needed here. I think Harry and Ron should meet me in the ministry as soon as possible. But don't forget to cover Herbe garden."

The hare disappeared leaving Harry and Ron with foiled faces.

But without much ado, Harry and Ron left and took Neville with them just in case.

They used the floo powder to get to the ministry. They arrived at Harry's cubicle and proceeded to the department of mysteries.

Luna's internship room was a small one but was the brightest of all rooms in the dark department.

As they entered the room, they were surprised to see that Luna was not alone. An old lady sat with her hands on her head. She looked up as they entered the room.

To Harry's annoyance, this woman strongly reminded him of Bathilda Bagshot. And once again the dreaded scenes from his visits all those years back to Godric's Hollow came back.

Luna's voice forced him to come back to reality.

"This is Ajuoga," she introduced.

A collective 'oh' sounded in the closed room.

"Ajuoga told me she had yet another vision. It's about some trouble with the past. You must hurry with your mission."

"How soon?"

"In a week's time at least."

Ron and Harry exchanged nervous looks.

"Can you tell me something else?" Harry asked Ajuoga," some clue, that will help us."

"Go to the Bring and Fly Sale. Go to the one in Devon. That is all I can say,"Ajuoga concluded mysteriously.

Harry and Ron thanked Ajuoga and proceeded to the atrium from where they could apparate.

Neville however, stood where he was staring at Luna.

"You are hiding something aren't you?" he asked her quietly so Harry and Ron couldn't hear him.

Luna looked uncomfortable.

"Sometimes, the lesser you know, the better."

"But sometimes the whole truth is essential, Luna."

"Trust me on this Neville. Different people have different opinions. They are each convinced that they alone are right. So am I. Believe me, that is all you can do."

Neville shook his head and followed Harry and Ron.

The Bring and Fly Sale seemed to be doing its best at Devon. The atmosphere was exciting. Different colour decorations hung all around the large ground. Every possible wizarding good had its stall here.

"Are these legal?" Harry asked in wonder.

"Yup!" Neville answered," Gran took me to one long ago. It's mostly second hand items, but they are licensed to trade. Right Ron?"

Harry and Neville turned around to see Ron reading a sign board in front of the entrance. It read:

'All sales and entries to be checked and confirmed by Miss. Lavender Brown.'

Harry and Neville exchanged gleeful looks before bursting out into fits of laughter.

"No!" moaned Ron.

" Come On!" Harry dragged him to the entrance.

Lavender was ordering a grumpy looking warlock to leave. He seemed to be indulging in the selling of magic lamps, which were declared illegal under the law. She turned around to bump into her three old classmates.

She managed to turn her surprise into cheerful greetings. She went on to hug Harry and Neville as she enquired about their well being. She stopped in front of Ron as they both exchanged a cold stiff," Hello."

"What can I do for you?" Lavender asked courteously.

"We just wanted to look around. Is that okay with you?" Harry asked.

"Sure. Anything. Just don't buy anything without consulting me, "she replied smiling.

"I'll keep that in mind," Harry said as he went towards the entrance.

Suddenly, it was only Ron and Lavender together. Ron realised a split second late that this had been Harry's intention.

"Uh... Bye!" Ron said quickly as he hurried off to his two giggly friends.

The sale was huge. Broomsticks seemed to be the most popular item of sale.

At one corner of the ground, there was a cauldron shop. The owner seemed disinterested in the sale as he lay asleep in his chair. This man seemed a little weird. For one, he wore Egyptian clothing. Not only that, he also had a ferret as a pet in his cage. Also, this ferret seemed to have had an enlargement charm placed upon it.

Harry heard a sudden gasp from Ron behind him. Harry turned to see Ron staring at the ferret.

"That's...that's a Jarvey."

Now it was Neville's turn to gasp.

Harry looked at his two mates in bewilderment. Evidently he was missing out on something.

"Don't you know the story about Herbe Garden, Harry?" Neville asked," the Jarvey and the monk?"

Harry looked up in shock as realisation hit him.

"That is Bruke?"

The three of them stood staring at the man when Maggie, the phoenix came as a sudden distraction. She had a letter with her. The tiny handwriting told them it was Hermione's.

The note was short.

Harry and Ron:

Meet me at the Bring and Fly sale at Devon. IMPORTANT.

Hermione.

I really don't like this chapter. I promise to put up a better one next time.

Again, I'm sorry for all mistakes which creep up.

Don't forget to review.=)
