Chapter Nine
The settings
The morning sun was pouring its rays slightly by the curtains into the room, where the two couples were still gracefully sleeping, and was gently touching the surface of the blankets that were rising up and down regulated by the breathing. Slowly one of the sleepers started to stir. Ginny opened her eyes only to enjoy the sunrays on her face. She moved gently and silently out of Harry's grip to the window. The air outside was so fresh as though it had rained during the night. Ginny smelled the light but rich aroma of the grass and flowers, and a smile came to her face. It is a beautiful day, she thought.
Ginny moved away from the window and looked to her brother's bed where Ron and Hermione were. Ron's head was leaning on Hermione's chest in pure delight if you don't count the sawmill snore. It seemed that even Hermione couldn't help with that. They looked both so peaceful, and they really were a nice couple.
Ginny dressed up and went down. Molly was already in the kitchen preparing meals for the day. Yes, the DAY, Ginny said to herself. The day they were expanding their family. At first, Ginny was against all this but at last she realized she had to accept and respect her brother's choice. Phlegm was not that bad after all. Fleur's arrogance was due to the great desire to be accepted into the family, and hopefully Ginny came to realize it before hexing her.
"Morning Mum."
"Morning dear. Are the others still in bed?" – Molly asked.
"Yes. They are still in the nest." – Ginny answered amiably.
"We'll let them be for no more than an hour then go and get them up. They must be prepared." – Molly said.
"Oh, I'll Mum." – Ginny smiled mischievously
"Be gentle." – Molly teased her daughter.
Ginny smiled back and concentrated on her breakfast, which was simply delightful. Some time in Fleur came in as well.
"Good morning." – She sang.
"Goodie to you too." – Ginny answered airily.
An hour later, Ginny went to wake up the others. Harry was the quickest and the easiest to wake. Then Hermione and at last the water spell woke the groaning Ron who had always trouble waking.
After the bathroom, the boys headed to Bill's bedroom to get in their costumes. The girls went to Fleur who has occupied Charlie's room to prepare the 'little princesses' as she was saying.
Around two o'clock the guests began arriving. Molly and Arthur were there to greet them. Hopefully, the band arrived in time despite Arthur's predictions. Everything was almost ready except for the bride, the groom, the best men, the bridesmaid and bridesman, Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Ron.
In Bill's room, Charlie and Ron were looking in the mirror awkwardly. Ron was concerned about his robes, at first, giving that he remembered the 'dress' he had to wear during the Triwizard Yule Ball. Hopefully this time, he was wearing light brown velvet robes with dark red mantle, and this time no laces. Charlie on the other side was having similar problems with his appearance. He wasn't used to such clothing giving that the Dragons didn't care much how you look. His robes were dark brown. Fred and George were both in pale red-gold robes, which was a bit surprising but they seemed to enjoyed it. Bill was in black velvet with silver laces and cuffs.
"We are ready." – Bill said looking at his brothers. "Do get down and sent father up here."
"Ok, Billy boy." – Fred or George said.
The garden was barely recognizable. There were many tables with loads of food and drinks. The boys made their way through the crowd and soon separated. Harry looked around and found many unfamiliar faces. He did however spotted Hagrid, not that it was very difficult. He was in his usual horrible hairy brown suit and yellow tie.
"Hey Harry. How 're you doing lately?" – Hagrid asked smiling.
"Fine, thank you, Hagrid." – Harry grinned. "What about you?"
"I'm doing fine, after…" – Hagrid stopped, looking at Harry, then continued. "Well getting ready for the new year."
"So they're opening the school?"
"Yes, Headmistress McGonaggle said that Dumbledore would have wanted the school to open."
"Great."
In this time, Molly appeared and asked everyone to take their seats, as the ceremony was about to begin. The crowd dissolved heading for the chairs front of the altar.
The alley's roof was made of arcs of rainbow color tulips woven with orchids, lilies, pink and white roses, and on the sides the piles were decorated with white carnations and daisies, wildflowers and greenery. Enormous bouquets of woven gladioli, white roses, white carnations and crisp greenery were placed near the altar. The floor was covered with white, pink and roses blossoms.
Bill and his brothers had taken their positions and were waiting for the bridesmaids and the bride. The music began and Ginny and Gabrielle appeared. Ginny was in sparkling golden gown with fire-red bracelets while Gabrielle was in silver blue silk gown with silver-gilt bracelets. Their hairs were plaited with elegant white bows. They were both carrying a beautifully arranged bouquet of pale pink roses plaited with garden blooms, wildflowers and greenery. They walked slowly to the altar.
The music continued and at last Fleur arrived. She was dressed in a gorgeous silver-gray satin gown plaited with shiny silver silk stars, and with silver bracelets. The bouquet in her hands was white roses woven with soft greenery. Her father was holding her hand gently on the way to the altar where they stopped and he kissed her on the cheek and left her make the last step. The priest began.
"We are gather here today to…"
Harry watched petrified when Ginny passed by him. She was so beautiful, he thought. But the feeling faded as he remembered the hard choice he had already made, and was sure she would most probably hate him for it. Then all gasped as Fleur appeared. She was indeed very beautiful and Harry could see the gaze of slight jealousy on the faces of all males, including Ron's.
As the priest began, Harry looked around and noticed Professor McGonaggle in her tartan robe, Flitwick, Sinistra, Sprout, and even Trelawney, and on the last row he saw Slugghorn. He was dressed in unusual sky blue robes with the embroidered Slytherin silver snake, and was drinking secretly from a small bottle. Harry imagined the content was purely alcoholic and that sight brought a small laugh.
"Harry shush!" – Hermione brought him back to his senses. She was sitting next to him and was dressed in a glaucous long gown and her hair was again straightened up.
"Sorry." – Harry apologized.
Hopefully the priest had arrived at the part of 'I do'. Bill took the ring and placed on Fleur's hand saying the 'I do', Fleur did the same. And the priest proclaimed them for husband and wife, and they kissed. Harry was relieved the end of the ceremony had come.
All the guests moved near the dancing floor where chairs have been put and waited for the married couple. The band began with a soft blues and they danced. Fleur was an excellent and graceful dancer as was Bill. Soon they waved the others to join in.
Harry danced, against his will, as he was not found of dancing, with Ginny and then with Hermione. Hopefully he spotted Slugghorn and waved the others.
"Professor Slugghorn." – Harry called.
Slugghorn turned around and faced Harry and the others. He looked oddly at them but greeted.
"Ah, hello Harry."
"Professor could we ask you something?" – Hermione spoke.
"Yes, of course, Miss Granger." – Slugghorn responded.
"We would like to ask you about a potion ingredient, one that is very rare."
"A rare potion ingredient?" – Slugghorn echoed bedazzled.
"Yes. Even the healers at St. Mungo have never heard of it." – Hermione said.
"Oh really! What makes you think I would know about something the healers haven't heard of?" – Slugghorn asked amused.
"Well, you are a great potion master." – Hermione answered with flattery.
"Oh, ok. What is this ingredient?" – Slugghorn asked flattered.
"The Vial of Moonlight."
Whatever Slugghorn expected to hear this was not it. His jaw dropped down and as well as his glass of wine. He fixed his eyes at them and for two minutes couldn't say a word. Then he cleared his throat and repeated.
"The Vial of Moonlight! Now this is something I haven't heard of for a long time." Then turned his gaze to Hermione. "Now, Miss Granger, you should have said a powerful ingredient, not just an ingredient."
"So you've heard of it?"
"Yes. Lets move somewhere else." – Slugghorn motioned them.
They moved out of the crowd and went inside the house to the living room. Slugghorn sat heavily on the armchair and run his hands down his face.
"Most powerful ingredients such as the vial of moonlight had been declared extremely rare and lost long time ago. Many believed that most of them were deep dark magic and since then no one actually used them." – Slugghorn began. "Such ingredients in the appropriate mix produce some astonishing effects like changing entirely the effect of a potion. You'll say that they are very useful but if you don't know with what potion to mix them the result could be disastrous. The knowledge has been lost throughout the centuries and anyone caught in using them is sanctioned and sentenced to life imprisonment to Azkaban although some hundred years ago the sentence was death. But most importantly no one knows where to find those ingredients. There were rumors, a long time ago of course, for certain individuals that might have known but the people in question were practicing magic of the light, andnot dark magic so they were found innocent."
Harry and Ron looked very concerned at Ginny and Hermione. Slugghorn followed their look and gasped in amazement.
"So wh…" – Slugghorn mumbled but then rephrased his question. "You did find the vial?"
"Yes, they did." – Ron said pointing at Hermione and Ginny.
"How has this happened?" – Slugghorn asked with interest.
And before the girls could open their mouth Ron recited their adventure. Slugghorn listened with full and growing attention, and was completely amazed. It seemed to him that the girls have done something unbelievable and extraordinary. But what puzzled him was the one that sent them on this journey. What he failed to tell them, because he had forgotten that part of the story, was that although it was believed to be deep dark magic only Light and Death Masters knew how to properly mix and brew potions using those ingredients.
"This is amazing." – Slugghorn said and clapped his hands.
"What is amazing?" – Arthur asked, as he entered the room.
"Well the story." – Slugghorn answered.
"Ah, the story." – Arthur confirmed. "Well Horace, I needed to talk to you."
"Ah, ok. No problem, Arthur." – Slugghorn responded. "You don't mind, do you?"
"Not at all, professor." – Harry answered.
Slugghorn and Arthur exited the room, which remained in total silence. Ginny and Hermione threw each other a soft guilty look and then turned to the boys.
"Well, it was a good idea to ask Professor Slugghorn, Harry." – Hermione admitted.
"But not what he told us." – Ron shot. "Right, Harry?"
Harry did not answer. He was still assimilating the information Slugghorn provided. Powerful ingredients used for deep dark magic but the rumors of wizards that were not dark but light that used them. Harry was trying to understand but his thoughts were chaotic and he gave up. Then again the one from the dream did not seem to be a dark wizard although his choice of environments was strange.
"Right, Harry?" – Ron repeated.
"Ah, what?" – Harry looked questioningly at Ron.
"Hey Harry, Ron, Hermione." – A familiar voice called spearing Harry the answer.
"Hey Neville." – Harry greeted. "How are you doing?"
"I am fine. I was looking for you guys." – Neville answered.
"Well, you found us." – Ron said rolling his eyes.
"Hey Ronald." – Ron jumped off his feet only to face Luna.
"Hey Luna." – Hermione said.
"We were wondering where were you." – Luna rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Yeah, so when are we leaving?" – Neville asked turning to Harry.
Harry looked at him bedazzled. "What do you mean?"
"When are we leaving to take care of You-know-Who." – Luna answered instead of Neville.
"What?" – Harry got completely confused. "I still don't understand."
"O come one, Harry. We know you're not going to school." – Luna said firmly.
"How do you know this?" – Hermione asked raising an eyebrow.
"I told them." – Ginny said.
Harry looked surprised at Ginny and he was not the only one. Ron and Hermione frowned.
"Why?" – was the only word Harry could say.
"Because we are the D.A. and we should be together. Do you really think we could do it on our own?" – Ginny explained calmly.
"Ginny, come here." – Harry said and dragged her into the kitchen.
"What?"
"How much do they know?"
"They know that we are not going to school and that we are going to destroy You-know-who."
"Ginny, you can't drag them into this. This is not some game that we are about to play and enjoy." – Harry shot.
"I know. And this is why they are coming."
"But…" – Harry did not finish as the door opened and the others popped in.
"Look Harry. We are not coming simply because Ginny told us." – Neville began. "We want to come with you and fight Voldemort."
Harry was impressed. Neville managed to say the name Voldemort without any difficulty. The recent events, mainly Dumbledore's death, have brought new outlook on the world, and Neville had his reasons to hate not only the Death Eaters but Voldemort as well.
"Looks guys. This is not a joke. I may not return I may not survive this war. But there is chance for you. With me you'll be in constant danger. It is better for all of you to stay at Hogwarts, it will be much more safer." - Harry said trying to remain calm.
"We know that Harry. But why have we trained in D.A.? Was this a joke too?" – Neville stated accusingly. "No, we are going to help you. You need all the help you could get."
"Well they are well prepared." – Hermione said.
"Yeah, it seems Ginny not only told what we are going to do but how to face me as well." – Harry agreed.
"I did not." – Ginny defended herself.
Harry was ready to argue with them but then he reconsidered, because according to his plan no one was going to come with him, not at first. He had other plans for them but he was going to allow them to come to Godric's Hollow with him and then he was going to send them to Hogwarts. After that they had to follow another path, one that is dangerous but not as dangerous as his.
"Well?" – Luna asked airily.
"I…" – Neville again interrupted Harry.
"Harry, we want to come. It is our decision. We understand that you are concerned about us but then again we won't let get away that easily."
"Don't you see Harry? It is like when we were going to the Ministry. You didn't manage to shake us off and you won't be able now." – Ginny concluded.
"Alright, I give up." – Harry said defeated. "We are leaving tonight."
"Tonight?" – Hermione shot shocked. "But you said tomorrow morning."
"I have changed my mind. The sooner the better." – Harry explained.
"Where will spend the night?" – Hermione informed herself.
"Bristol, at the Pouncing Pony." – Harry answered.
"You sure you know the way to there?"
"Yes, I do." – Harry retorted getting really irritated by Hermione's questioning.
It was around eight o'clock in the evening when at Harry and the gang were ready to depart. Molly had prepared them sandwiches for the road. They were all in the living room taking last good-bye and receiving dozens of advices from Arthur, Bill and Charlie. Molly, on the other hand, was sitting quietly. It was a terrible moment for her. At last the most feared day in her life had come but she understood well the motives. Harry had promised her that they would be save. He told her that he was going to send to Hogwarts right after Godric's Hollow.
Harry had to talk with Professor McGonaggle and convince her to relieve the anti-apparition ward when he sends her the sign, so the others could apparate directly at Hogwarts. Hopefully, Professor McGonaggle agreed.
"It is time." – Harry announced.
They all took one last good-bye and went outside. Their luggage was reduced to the size of a wallet.
"Now, fist we are going to apparate on that hill." – Harry pointed. "And then we'll make it for a park in Bristol."
"Why?" – Hermione asked.
"Well to see if everyone could do it on their own or if there is a need to make a side apparition." – Harry explained. "On the count of three. One, two, three."
Harry apparated on the hill few seconds later. Hermione came too. Ginny and Neville got a bit off but still on the hillside. Ron was touching his face to feel if all of his eyebrows were there. Luna, however, was not there.
"Where is Luna?" – Harry asked Hermione.
"Luna!" – Neville shouted. " Where are you?"
"Down here." – Luna's voice came in from the other side of the hill.
Apparently she apparated inside a hole, which provided material for laughter.
"Well, she has good targeting skills." – Ron observed.
"Yeah." – Neville agreed.
"Alright." – Harry called them. "We are going to apparate in a park in Bristol. Here."
He took the map out of his pocket and showed the location, which is Greville Smyth Park.
"Harry, this is a bit risky." – Hermione said.
"No. It isn't. Trust me." – Harry smiled. "Neville you are coming with me. Hermione is going to take Luna and Ron you'll take Ginny. Now!"
They all followed his ruling and soon apparated to the park in Bristol. Hopefully no one stranded off the course. Harry took a map out of his pocket and looked at it.
"Right this way." – Harry said.
They made their way through some spooky looking houses. Harry turned on North Street and followed it. Some twenty minutes later, they turned left on Greville Street and walked for another ten minutes until they reached a dismal looking house. Harry went to the door and tapped on it. A small window opened and dark eyes appeared, which looked at them then opened the door.
"Welcome young sirs and ladies to the Pouncing Pony." – the man croaked.
"Thank you." – Harry replied politely.
The pub was on two floors. The first floor, in which they were, was full of tables and cozy armchairs probably dating from the 19th century. The carpets were locally made and tidy. The smell in the air was fresh lemon and there was no smoke of cigars or pipes. The second floor had several rooms and a suite.
The man presented himself. "I am Mr. Twinkle, owner of the Pouncing Pony. What can I do for you?"
"We would like two rooms."
"Well, of course, young sir. This way, please."
They followed him upstairs. Mr. Twinkle opened the door with the number six and motioned them in. The room's furniture was the same style as the table and chairs downstairs. There were four beds, a table, four chairs and a separated bathroom.
"This is it, young sirs. And ladies if you would follow me." – Mr. Twinkle said and exited the girls following behind.
Harry took the bed near the window and dropped on it. The bed was quite comfortable and he could have fallen into sleep straight away but first he had to do something. He went to fetch the girls.
"Now", Harry began," You all need to know one thing in case I fail. Ron and Hermione already know it but the others don't."
"I heard some of it." – Ginny stated.
"Yes, I know but you don't know everything. You deserve to know and I'll tell why."
Hermione eyed him suspiciously. Harry did not look at her. The time had come to reveal his plans or well part of them.
"Now, I'll tell you what my plans really are. You are not to argue with them because I've made my mind and I won't change it." – Harry said firmly. "But before this, it is time for you to know the prophecy."
And so Harry recited them the entire prophecy word by word. The look on their faces was filled with terror.
"So you are the Chosen One?" – Luna asked.
"Yes, I am. I have to kill Voldemort. It is not a pleasant thought but I have to do it."
"Harry." – Neville called shyly. "I was born a day…"
"I know Neville."
"…and my parents fought Voldemort three times and…"
"How do you know that?" – Hermione asked.
"My grandmother told me. So could the prophecy have been made for me?"
"Yes, it could have." – Harry swallowed. "Your parents and mine have escaped him three times but Voldemort has heard only the beginning of the prophecy but chose me. He told me that in way we are similar. He was half-blood as I am, and we had similar childhood. He can speak parslemouth and I can."
"I understand, Harry, but it could have been Me." – Neville stressed on the last word.
"Neville, look! You don't want to have had my life. Most of my life was completely unhappy and unpleasant. I had no friends, no knowledge of my heritage, nothing. And it was when I was eleven that I learnt that I am a wizard. And then the only true friends I ever had are in this room."
Neville simply nodded and then said. "I'm sorry Harry. I didn't want to make it sound as I am accusing you or something."
"It is ok. Now the second part."
Harry told them that he was taking private lessons with Dumbledore concerning the life of Voldemort. He told them then about the Horcruxes and how many Dumbledore and he knew exited. And at last, he told them about the night when they went to destroy one of the Horcruxes, which turned to be a fake and then how Dumbledore died. They listened to him carefully and after the last sentence they stayed all in silence.
"So Voldemort is immortal?" – Neville first broke the silence.
"No. But he was trying to be. Remember the dairy of Tom Riddle." – They all nodded. "Well, it was a Horcruxes. And it is destroyed."
"Wow, Harry! You destroyed a part of him when you were eleven. That is amazing." – Luna exclaimed.
"Isn't it? Now the part including my plans." – Harry said.
"Well, we are all thrilled to know what you are up to." – Hermione said.
"First thing tomorrow, we are going to Godric's Hollow to my parents house. I have to see it. It is where everything has begun." – Harry said firmly. "Then you all will be going to Hogwarts."
"No, we won't." – Ginny protested. "You promised that we'd stick together."
"Ginny, you agreed to do whatever I tell you to do." – Harry pointed out.
"Yes but…"
"Right then. I have a task for you. You remember that I asked the minister to permit all students of sixth and seventh year to use legally magic."
"Yes and?" – Hermione stated trying to figure out what Harry had in mind.
"And we are going to form a new order, one that will defy the Death Eaters. In this year, you will be training them. And when the time comes we'll strike the Death Eaters."
"Harry do you realize what are you asking?" – Hermione shot.
"Yes, I do." – Harry confirmed calmly. "Understand me. In order for me to succeed in my task, VOLDEMORT MUST BE DISTRACTED." – Harry emphasized. "The people have to stop hiding and running from these bastards. We have to make our stand. You have to convince Professor McGonaggle."
Silence fell again in the room but Harry continued after a while.
"You'll find the most suitable candidates and you will train them with the help of Hogwarts stuff. Then you are going to begin exterminating those varmints the Death Eaters. You have to get the house elves to help you. They can penetrate almost every big household and deliver information on the whereabouts of the Death Eaters we know without raising suspicion. Also you will communicate with the goblins. They haven't yet decided whose side to take and it better be ours. Then you are going to contact Lupin and see how many of the werewolves will be ready to join our cause."
"This is a bold plan." – Hermione admitted.
"How are we going to call the order?" – Ron asked.
"Dumbledore's Army." – Ginny proposed.
"No, not this time. D.A. was created for a different reason." – Harry objected. "It has to be simple but powerful."
"How about the Order of Light?" – Neville proposed.
"No, too trivial." – Hermione objected.
"Maybe United Forces of Light." – Luna suggested.
"Hmm." – Hermione said.
"Ignis Flos" – Harry said.
The others looked at him bedazzled and confused. He smiled at them and said.
"The Order of the Fire Flower. The fire-flower is a rare flower. It is believed that it can heal any wound. And thus we are going to heal the world from the plaque of the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord."
"Wow, Harry. This is deep." – Ron exclaimed.
"Agreed then?" – Harry looked questioningly at them.
"Agreed."
"Alright then. It will be called Ignis Flos." – Harry took his wand out and conjured the fire-flower. "This will be the symbol. Hermione find a way to tattoo it the most painless way possible in all of our followers. When a member is called, the fire-flower has to result in a positive feeling."
"I don't know if I could dig up how to do this." – Hermione said.
"That is why I said find a way."
"Ok, I'll try."
"Now to form the Order."
They gather around Harry holding hands. Harry lifted in the air the fire-flower and proclaimed. "Constituo Signum Ignis Flos." A red light appeared from the top of the fire-flower and surrounded them. Then a dim golden light united with the red light signifying their unity, and then the lights faded.
"It is done." – Harry said. "Now to bed. We have a long way to go."
The next morning, Harry woke up rather early but found out that Neville was up and starring at the window.
"Good morning, Neville."
"Ah good morning, Harry."
"I'll go and wake the girls and you wake Ron."
"Ok, Harry."
Harry went to the girls' room only to find there Luna, alone.
"Good morning." – Luna greeted.
"Good to you but where are Hermione and Ginny?" – Harry asked.
"Ah, they went downstairs to bring breakfast."
"Ouch." – Harry jumped off his feet as Ginny pinched him. "Ginny."
"Good morning, Harry boy." – Ginny said playfully.
"Get ready. We leave as soon as we have breakfast." – Harry said.
They had their breakfast and packed. Harry went downstairs to pay for the night but as soon as he mentioned his name Mr. Twinkle jumped in the air and subsequently said it is a great honor for him and he could not possibly accept Harry paying him. Harry tried to argue but Mr. Twinkle was firm in his decision. Harry thanked him and waited for the others.
They exited the Pouncing Pony and headed back to the park where they apparated last night. On the way they agreed where to apparate next and they did well because when they reached the park they were approached by four hooded figures. Instinctively they drew out their wands and came close to each other thus forming a circle.
"Now, now young Harry. What are you doing here? And why are you not at school?" – That was the squealing voice of Beatrix Lestrange.
"None of your business, I am afraid." – Harry retorted.
"The Dark Lord will be most pleased." – One of the Death Eaters said. "A dish with so many…"
"Be silent. It will happen the way the Dark Lord had said." – Beatrix rasped. "So Potter, what are you doing outside of Hogwarts protection?"
Harry did not answer at first as he wondered what were the Death Eaters doing, and then it came to him. They were not sent here to catch them. They had to find out what he was up to, to scout.
"What are we doing is our business. But if it would make you feel at ease, we were just looking for that git Snape and since we haven't found him we were heading back to our Hogwarts protection, as you so kindly mentioned." – Harry said in a quite mocking tone.
"Don't make jokes with me you filthy boy." – Beatrix croaked.
"Or what?" – Harry shouted defiantly but murmured with the corner of his mouth to Ginny. "We apparate to where we agreed when I say flos."
Ginny obviously told the others the plan and then pinched Harry to make him understand that all understood the plan.
"You are a long way from Hogwarts boy. You may not live to see it again." – Another Death Eater spoke laughing.
"Lets take them down." – The forth Death Eater proposed and turned his wand to Harry. "Impedimen…"
"Protego." – Harry shouted and then. "Petrificus Totales," The Death Eater was hit by the spell immediately before he could even react and in this moment hexes and jinxes were flying in the air.
Harry dodged a green light headed his way but was hit by another, which made his shoulder bleed. He turned to the others and noticed how bad the situation was and getting really out of control. Harry shouted to the others: "Flos," and quickly disapparated. When he opened his eyes he was exactly where they agreed but he couldn't see the others.
"Hermione, Ginny, Ron." – Harry shouted.
"Harry, where are you?" – The voice of Ron came from near by.
"Right here. Where are the others?"
"I don't know." – Ron answered honestly.
"We have to find them. Lets split. When you find someone head back to this point."
"Ok."
An hour later, they found Hermione and Ginny. They continued to look for the others and hopefully found them. Luna was again found inside a large pit (seems that Ron was right she had good targeting skills). Hopefully no one received any serious injuries.
"We were lucky." – Hermione concluded.
"Yes, we were. It seems that they were on a scouting mission." – Harry said.
"Now where are we going?" – Ron asked.
"To a forest near Whitechurch. It is near Godric's Hollow."
