Chapter 5: Locket for Locket

"He..He has Ollivander. There after an "Elder wand." Harry quickly informed his friend as he hurried out of bed. "I also have an idea on what we can do about the locket. Go get Hermione. We're going to Grimmauld place now."

"The Elder Wand? THE DEAHTLY HALLOWS!" Ron exclaimed. "Thats what the symbol stands for. I can't really remember the story it was something about three brothers. Now, I know where I saw the symbol at Luna's father, he has a necklace of the symbol."

"Maybe we should stop by and talk to Mr. Lovegood soon but we need to find this locket and the other remaining horcruxes."

Ron nodded then hurried to get Hermione as Harry got dressed and ready to leave. It was very late in the night and they'd only slept for a few hours but, they'd already lost days due to the wedding preparations.

After Hermione and Ron were dressed, they got everything packed up and back in the bag. Harry and Ron took hold of Hermione's arms as she side-alonged them to Grimmauld Place. They arrived inside of the home, and Harry quickly went into the living room.

"KREACHER!" He called out for the house elf which came immediately.

"Yes Master?" The elf asked as he appeared.

"Do you recognize this?" Harry questioned holding out the fake horcrux, the elf quickly reached for it but, Harry pulled away not allowing him to take it.

"It is a fake of Master Regulus' locket. The real one was a dark object, Master told me to destroy it. That thief stole it! Mundungus Fletcher" Kreacher responded sourly. Harry nodded as He'd recalled the name being on a door in the home. But Mundungus had stolen it?

"A thief took it? Go find and bring him here!" The house elf was ordered.

Kreacher with a snap was gone on the mission to retrieve the person who had taken the horcrux. The three sighed with relief, there was finally an actual lead. Why hadn't they recalled those initals in the beginning? Each of them sat down on the couch and waited for the elf to return.

The trio quickly fell back to sleep while they awaited the elf's arrival. A loud crash caused them to awake instantly and jump to their feet. Harry hurried toward the sound with his wand drawn. It'd come from the kitchen, where he'd find Mundungus Fletcher squirming to get two house elves off of him.

"Harry Potter!" Dobby exclaimed as he jumped from the man.

"Dobby, What are you doing here?" Harry question turning his attention to the elf.

"Dobby discovered Kreacher out following this awful man When, I heard him say that he was there on orders of Harry Potter, Dobby had to assist him." Was the elf's reply. Harry smiled and nodded.

"Kreacher thank you for bring him here, please get off of him. I'll take it from here." He stated point is wand at Dung. The Man faced Harry with his hands up.

"What's the meaning of his Harry?" The thief questioned looking around the room cautiously while keeping his hands in the air.

"You stole something from this home. I want it returned now!" Harry replied.

"I wouldn't ever steal a thing from friends."

" Dobby, Kreacher get behind me now! Expulso!" Harry ordered the two elves which did so in a hurry. A blue light shot from his wand immediatly after the incantation was said. The blue light clashed with a chair that was a foot away from Fletcher and caused it explode the force throwing the man agains the wall. Ron and Hermione came in as soon as the explosion occured both were shocked.

"You stole Master Regulus' locket return it!" Kreacher shouted at the man.

"Shut up you da-" The thief began but stopped as Harry pointed his wand directly at him. Mundungus returned to his feet and took the locket from his pocket tossed it to Harry who caught it.

"Now, get out of here and never return!" Harry ordered the man.

The Thief quickly apparated frightened of what the young man might do next. Ron and Hermione stood with their eyes locked on Harry in awe.

"Bloody Hell, Mate." Ron exclaimed unable to comphrend his friend's actions.

" I knew he wouldn't admit unless I made him. That was the only way I could think of doing it." Harry replied with a laugh.

"Might want to use a less damaging spell next time Harry." Hermione stated looking out at the remains of the chair that had been destroyed.

"Thank you Dobby, Kreacher." Harry said with a smile.

"Anytime, Harry Potter. Dobby always will help his friend Harry Potter. Just call upon him." Dobby said with joy in his voice before he said his goodbyes and left.

"Kreacher, I know you have disapproval of my friends being here and such. I also know that you were given orders by Regulus with the locket. We shall finish it for you, you helping us will in turn be your way of doing as he wished. Also, I'd like you to have the fake one as a way of remembering your Master." Harry kindly informed the elf as he handed the fake horcrux to him.

"Thank you Master!" The elf shrieked with joy before he actually hugged Harry. The elf was actually showing thanks. It was the first time any of them had seen Kreacher so cheerful. He quickly ran away to the place he kept things and held the locket.

"Now, we need to take care of the horcrux." Harry stated as he stared at it, a uncomforting feeling emitted from the object. There was a slight whisper that emitted from the cold item. It caused the three to shiver.

"But, How?" Hermione wondered aloud.

"No idea."

Dumbledore had really left them with nothing it seemed. There was the deathly hallows but, they knew little about them. Did they even really exist or were they just part of a children's story? They needed to see Luna's father to see what he knew of the items. It was too late for them to just show up at the Lovegood home. They needed to go back to sleep and savor the time for that they had left.

The Next Day, the Lovegood home.

The trio had put the locket away after giving all they could think of a try. They then retired yet again for the night to prepare for their visit to the Lovegoods. Arriving in the later hours of the morning, they found the oddly shaped home to have no sounds coming from it. On the door it stated something about Xenophilius Lovegood being the editor of "The Quibbler". Ron informed him that it was some tabloid that was filled of conspiracy theories and other odd articles.

Harry knocked on the door while Ron and Hermione looked around cautiously to make sure it was truly safe there. They were greeted at the door by a man with long shoulder length blonde hair, He wore robes that looked old and tattered. He looked as if he hadn't slept in days.

"Yes?" The man question his voice sounding weak and his breath with a slight hint of alcohol.

"Um, Sir. I'm Harry Potter, this is Hermione and Ron. We're friends with Luna and would like to ask you some questions about something private." Harry informed him.

The man's eyes lit up and he gestured from the to all come him. The three went in and the man quickly shut the door. They were told to sit down in the chairs that were in the living room.

"What is it that I can help you with?" Mr. Lovegood questioned, sitting down in a chair across from them.

"Ron stated that he saw you wearing a symbol of the Deathly hallows and we were wondering if you could tell us what you knew of them." Harry stated.

The man nodded, and took the necklace out from his robes and ran his finger across it. He seemed to be very fond of it.

"Well, the story goes that three brothers each wizards were traveling when they came across a river that most people would drown in as they tried to cross. These siblings used their knowledge of magic to make a bridge but, before they could cross they were met with Death himself. Death rewarded the three brothers for skills with magic. They each were given one item, the first and oldest asked for a wand that was the most powerful in existence. Death took the wood of an elder tree near by and gave the Elder wand to the brother. The next who had lost his love before they were able to be wed asked for a way to recall those that were dead. Death rewarded this brother with a stone from the river that would do such. The last one being the smartest of each did not trust death's actions asked for a way to hide from death so that he may humliate him further. This brother was rewarded with a cloak of invisibility. The first killed a man who he had fought with, and began to boast about the power of the wand which lead to his death. This is how the wand's ownership is transferred, the defeat of it's master. The second brother recalled his lover from the grave but, she was not meant to be here only existing in a form between life and death. He committed suicide so that he would be able to rest with her. The third brother was the one to live a full life as once he'd had a son and grown to a great age, he gave the cloak to his descendant and welcomed death. The three items together are the deathly hallows and would make one the master of death. Xenophilius informed them of the tale. "These items are real at least to men and women as me, we wish to discover the location of them. It would truly be thrilling to own them."

The trio looked at each other in wonder, if these did exist. Voldemort was on the search to aquire the wand. How could they find and destroy the horcruxes before he found the wand?

"Mr. Lovegood..where's Luna?" Hermione questioned finding it odd that their friend had not appeared after hearing the three arrive.

This caused the man to stand and shake nervously. He walked to the wall with his back to them and sighed as he began to sob.

"They took her..They took my Luna." He stated with the tears trickling down his cheeks. "Those death eaters and Him."

"They took Luna?!" Ron exclaimed.

"Yes boy." Xenophilus stated as he fell to his knees, it seemed to kill his spirit being reminded of the situation. "They're keeping her due to what I've written in the quibbler against them. They have full control over the world now that they killed the Schrimgeour. They've been annoucing changes all day. It seems alot is changing."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lovegood. We'll get her back. Voldemort will pay for everything." Harry quickly responded to the man.

"No! You shouldn't have said his name. They'll be here soon! You must go now!" the blonde man spat out in a hurry.

"Who will?" Harry asked.

"The Snatchers! They work for him gathering people on a list. Harry you three must leave. You are on the top of it go now!" He replied.

The trio after the answer was given stood up and took hold of each other and apparated hastily.
