The next morning was one of quiet reflection for the Quartette. It had turned out Ron had been captured and his was one of the bodies in Riddle Manor. There was still no sign of old Tommy Boy, as they had begun to call him. They were not to unhappy about it though, Ron had taken the Dark mark, so they knew he had betrayed them.
They also received news from the Goblins, Harry had inherited all of the Black and Les Strange holdings, they had found and destroyed Hufflepuffs Goblet. Now Harry also knew the last one was in Hogwarts and what it was. They would sneak in over the weekend and destroy it.
Dudley was rather excited, he would be the first muggle in over three hundred years to enter the castle.
Harry was informed that Snape was going to be Headmaster and he was going to take him out right after the horcrux was destroyed.
The Start of Christmas Break would be this weekend so they would invade the castle that Sunday night.
The rest of the week went by Slowly…It seemed to drag for Harry. The funny thing was Dudley was now spending an inordinate amount of time with Luna. He was being extremely nice to her too. Luna Had kissed him once, and he turned a bright shade of red, But since then nothing. They both were working out a lot to. In the Two months since the group got together, the cousins had buried the hatchet and were getting along rather well.
Saturday Morning They got to talking.
Dudley had one question on his mind that floored Harry. "Harry, Do you think Luna could like some one like me? I mean some one without magic." Dudley was standing shifting his feet slowly as he asked.
Harry smiled at his cousin. "Big D, If anyone I know could like you it would be Luna Lovegood, but let me warn you…hurt her and there is not a place on earth you could hide."
Dudley was amazed at the answer then Harry went on. "She likes you I think, when we're done go tell her how you feel!" Then Harry returned to his work out.
It was Sunday afternoon by the time Dudley came to Harry with the news that Luna was now his girl. Dudley had another question for Harry though.
"When are you going to tell Hermione your in love with Her?"
Harry had no words; he just stared at Dudley in complete shock!
Dudley continued after a few moments of silence. "Come on man if I can see as dense as I am, She has to have some idea, Go tell her or when this is over some one else will get her and you'll be miserable again."
Harry walked away Knowing He should talk to Hermione. He knew Deep down Dudley was right, but was it right to do to Hermione with Old Moldy still on their heels. He would wait until they destroyed the last Horcrux.
