It was a long walk. Fourteen hours at least. Topez wasn't in his cage anymore he was walking along side the girl named Luna and of course he was tied so he could not run away. She had bought him for 30 sickle.

Her father thought she was being ridiculous of course because they hadn't gone to diagon alley for a normal badger. Luna waved his comments away of course as if it didn't matter what her father had to say.

As they walked Luna had a jolly old time trying to talk to Topez. He refused to answer her to acknowledge the fact that she could understand him and that he could understand her. The faster she gave up on him the faster he would be to a life of freedom.

When they finally reached the house, Luna picked him up carried him inside and into the kitchen. She set him down on the counter and tied him to a chair.

"Now I know you can talk, so please just say something! I don't want to hurt you but I want to help you. So please just say something...?" Luna pleaded.

Topez just looked at her. He couldn't say something she would have him killed or she would sell him to the zoo or circus. He couldn't do that but if he didn't do anything would she hurt him? Would she do something terrible. No...she couldn't! She didn't seem like a person that would hurt someone. She was just a sweet innocent child she would never hurt him. Best to keep quiet and not get hurt he thought.

"Please. I am trying to help you!" She cried in desperation.

He stared at her. She stared at him. She sighed.

She finally looked away and went into another room.

She came out with a box. She looked at him one last time to see if it was his finally decision and she could see that it was. She pulled out a piece of parchment and an envelope and started to write the name Hermione Granger on the envelope.

Topez suddenly jumped back off the counter and onto the hard floor below, him being attached to the chair caused him to gag at the tight hold around his neck. The name Hermione Granger still was in his eyes he was back in his visions, his person was laughing and a girl - no Hermione glared at him but smiled secretly behind her bush of hair. He had known her. She was connected to this Luna girl and he had was known her.
