So, what do you want to say?

That's it! Hermione slammed the book on the table.

I'm going to see Shannon Ferius Lovegood.

Harry's eyes widened suddenly...

What did you say?

Xenonferius Lovegood, Luna's father, I'm going to find him and talk to him. Hermione repeated, Trust me, it must be...

But...why? Harry asked puzzled.

Hermione took a deep breath, as if empowering herself, and said, This is the mark, the mark in Beed the Bard. Look at this!

She pushed the book forward suddenly, and naturally, Dumbledore's Lies and Life stretched out in front of Harry's eyes. Harry glanced at it reluctantly. It was the original letter Dumbledore wrote to Grindelwald. The photo, with Dumbledore's familiar thin italics.

He was disgusted to see that there was solid evidence that Dumbledore had written the letter and not that Rita had made it up.

Rita can even get this thing? Fan Lin said in surprise, doubting Rita Skeeter's ability.

This is indeed Dumbledore's note. I compared it many times, and Harry and I also checked it carefully when you were asleep. Hermione said, frowning tightly.

Well, I was just a little surprised, so, what are you going to do, Grindelwald?

Yes, that's the signature, said Hermione. Look at the signature, Harry!

Harry looked, and for a moment he didn't understand what she meant, but, looking closer in the light of his wand, he saw that Dumbledore had changed Grindelwald's name into a little triangle, which Same as he marked on The Tale of Bee the Bard.

This startled Harry a little, it was too much... Dumbledore knew this symbol, so he reminded her in the book left for Hermione.

Countless coincidences colliding together is too scary, isn't it...

It keeps showing up, doesn't it? said Hermione. I know Viktor says it's Grindelwald's symbol, and it did appear on the old tombstone in Godric's Hollow,

And the date recorded on the tombstone is much earlier than Grindelwald's appearance! Check this out now! Well, we can't ask Dumbledore or Grindelwald what that means...I don't even know if Grindelwald is alive...but we can ask Mr. Lovegood. He wore that emblem at his wedding. I'm sure it's important, Harry!

Harry didn't answer right away. He looked at her excited face, then stepped out of the tent into the surrounding darkness, thinking.

Is it worth it?

For the first time in history, Harry really relied on his own will to persuade his partner to do something, but the result of the matter made Harry a little unbearable.

Injured, or almost dead, after watching Voldemort's magical miracles at close range, Harry inevitably doubted himself again.

What did you do right?

Fight against a man capable of dragging dead creatures back from the dark side of the world...

After a long silence, Harry said, Hermione, let's stop taking blind risks. Last time, we almost...

But it keeps coming up, Harry! Didn't Dumbledore leave me The Tale of Bee the Bard, didn't he want us to unravel the mystery of the symbols?

Here it goes again! Harry was a little annoyed, We always try to convince ourselves that Dumbledore left secret symbols and clues...

But other than that, we don't have any choice, right? It's like Dumbledore left us with other things. Although Fox is the only one who plays a role now, I believe in him, as always... Fan Lin interjected. . I think Hermione is right, I think we should go to Lovegood.

But what if it's a hoax?

scam?

Yeah, like Godric's Hollow...

No no no, Harry...it's not the same as Godric's Hollow, Valin added, Lovegood's on your side, Harry. The Quibbler has always been with you, it's always been Telling people they're going to help you, remember the radio I was talking about, on the radio, I could tell part of it was the naysayers ... that's our good number of supporters.

God can tell...

Fan Lin has never heard of it until now, but this does not prevent Fan Lin from persuading Harry, all they need now is some confidence.

I'm sure it's important! Hermione said sincerely.

But don't you think, if that was the case, Dumbledore would have told me before he died?

Oh, when did he ever do this? Older wizards are always like this, pretending to be inscrutable, especially Dumbledore. Fan Lin said while covering his forehead.

To be honest, if I hadn't disrupted Dumbledore's plan at the beginning, I don't think I have any part in what happened afterwards.

What?

For example, Horcruxes... Fan Lin spread his hands, If I hadn't destroyed some of the Horcruxes by chance when I was in school, Dumbledore might not have brought me with him when he was looking for that ring.

Oh yes, that's what they are, Hermione went on, maybe...maybe it's up to you to find out.

I don't think this is an interesting idea. Harry recalled the experience of contacting Dumbledore in the past. After thinking about it carefully, Dumbledore didn't seem to tell them what to do, and occasionally directly Speaking out, they seem to have thought of what to do in advance.

This made Harry even more indebted to Dumbledore's habits...

However, I still think we should talk to Lovegood. This symbol is connected to Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Godric's Hollow. Harry, I'm sure we need to know this.

I think we can vote, Fan Lin said after a moment of hesitation, A show of hands in favor of meeting Lovegood...

Fan Lin immediately raised his hand, but Hermione didn't seem to react yet, she seemed a little flustered, but she followed Fan Lin and raised her hand habitually.

what is this?

Bullying the underprivileged?

Question marks all over Harry's head...

The minority obeys the majority, Harry, I'm sorry. Fan Lin said while patting Harry on the back in relief.

Okay, said Harry, half amused and annoyed.

A show of hands? When did their small group need to make a decision like this?

And... this is obviously a group behavior, right?

It's just that after we meet Lovegood, we have to try to find other Horcruxes, okay? So where does the Lovegood family live? Do any of you know? Hermione asked hesitantly arrive.

I know, I probably asked when I talked to Luna last time, Fan Lin said honestly.

Hmm... so, why are you asking where Luna lives? Hermione looked at Fan Lin.

Uh, you know, Luna... I mean, about The Quibbler... those magazines were edited straight from her house... and...well, I admit, I'm a little behind on Luna thinking. Fan Lin touched his nose.

The title of crazy girl is not a joke. With Luna's nerve jumping level, it is very difficult for ordinary people to keep up even if they are prepared.

Okay, so, where is it?

Although I don't know the exact location, I remember that it is also in the village of Ottery San Catchpole, which is the hilly area to the east of Ron's house. It shouldn't be hard to find, after all, Luna's family is very unique.

Okay, then it's settled... Hermione nodded, Then we'll set off early tomorrow morning.

...

Hermione returned to the bed. In fact, after Fan Lin woke up, he refused Hermione's request to keep watch.

So, what are you going to do? Show your hands to vote? Harry narrowed his eyes and looked at Fan Lin dangerously, which really made him very uncomfortable.

If there was a disagreement between him and Fanlin, Harry knew that Hermione would be Fanlin's supporter in the end.

It's all because of love and war, Fan Lin spread his hands and said, It's both, be happy, now is the Christmas holiday, we may still be able to meet Luna and learn about the situation at Hogwarts.

The next morning, they Apparated to the mountainside, where the breeze was blowing and the whole village of Ottery San Catchpole was in view. They stood on a high place, and the sunlight shone obliquely on the ground through the gaps in the clouds. Looking down, the village looked like many toy houses arranged on an oblique axis.

They raised their palms to block the sun and stood looking at the Burrow for a while longer, but they could just make out tall hedges and trees in the orchard, which had been planted to keep the strange little house from Muggles.

Harry looked a little wistful. He liked the Burrow very much, not only because of Ginny and Ron, but because of everyone in the Weasley family, and Mrs. Weasley, it felt like his mother ...

I don't know what happened to them. Harry looked at the Burrow with a look of nostalgia, Maybe Ron is at home right now...

It's a good result, isn't it... Fan Lin said, Enjoy Christmas with peace of mind and don't have to worry about us... At least this can reassure Mrs. Weasley, but I think Ron may not Will go back.

Why? Harry asked.

For face, Ron values ​​this very much. Fan Lin said, If you go back, although Mrs. Weasley will be relieved, but believe me, Mrs. Weasley will definitely not be happy...

Harry opened his mouth, but thinking of Mrs. Weasley's character, he immediately nodded resignedly.

So, where will Ron be?

I don't know... But, he will take care of himself. I hope Ron can look away and go back to the Burrow. Fan Lin rested his head in his hands, which made him look a little lazy.

Anyway, let's take a look from here, Fan Lin said, It seems that Luna's house is a bit remote in the eastern hilly area.

Fan Lin and the others walked for several hours, wearing Harry's invisibility cloak at Hermione's insistence, and then Fan Lin and Hermione used the Animagus, which speeded up the time needed to find them.

Until a small villa appeared in the field of vision, standing alone on the deserted hills, looking like it was abandoned.

Do you think that's their house, and they're out for Christmas now? Hermione said back to normal, looking in through the window, she could see a clean little kitchen with pots of geraniums on the windowsill.

Harry wasn't too keen on that...

Look, I think, from the Lovegood's window, you can tell right away that they live there. I think we should go look for the other hills.

So they apparated a few miles north again.

Aha! Fan Lin's eyes lit up, and the wind blew their hair and clothes loudly. He pointed upwards, on the hill where they had appeared, a strange house pointing straight into the sky, and behind it, a huge black cylinder with a terrible moon hanging in the afternoon sky.

I'm sure this is definitely Luna's home, who else would live in a place like this? It looks like a giant pawn!

It doesn't look like a flag at all, said Hermione, frowning at the rather eerie building.

I was talking about chess, Harry retorted.

Well, no matter what it is. Fan Lin looked over, Maybe we can go there and give it a try first, isn't it a great chance?

Harry nodded, and ran up the mountain first. By the time Fan Lin and Hermione realized it, Harry had already run some distance away.

It's definitely a thankless job, running up hills?

Anyway, the mood seems to be pretty good now.

Here it is, Harry said. Look. Three self-painted signs were stapled to a collapsed door. The first reads, The Quibbler, Editor, Shel Lovegood; the second reads, Pick Your Own Salmonella; the third reads, Don't Try to Pilot a Plum...  

With the consistent style of playing a different tune, Fan Lin seems to understand exactly how Luna was raised by her father. It should be said that it was completely crooked...

They slowly opened the creaking door, and a zigzag path leading to the front door was filled with all kinds of weird plants, including one covered in carrot-like fruit (Luna sometimes wears it on her ear as an earring) ) bushes.

Finally, Harry thought, he had found a shelter where he could wither the stump of Snaggrave.

Two old hawthorn trees swayed in the wind, with heavy red berry-like fruits hanging from their bare branches, densely covered with bead-like parasites, standing on both sides of the front door like sentinels. A flat-headed owl with a hawk-like head stood on a branch and watched them.

We'd better get rid of the disguise... Muggles don't go after editors who disagree, and, Harry, you know, sometimes your face is very useful.

I'd rather not, and besides, you're not much better than me. Harry said angrily, rolling up the invisibility cloak for Hermione to put in the beaded bag.

Then Hermione knocked three times on the heavy black door, studded with iron nails and decorated with an eagle knocker.
