\iDear Padfoot,
Thank you, thank you, for Harry's birthday present! It was his favorite by farOne year old and already zooming along on a toy broomstick, he looked so pleased with himselfI'm enclosing a picture so you can seeYou know it only rises about two feet off the ground but he nearly killed the cat and he smashed a horrible vase Petunia sent me for Christmas (no complaints there)Of course James thought it was so funny, says he's going to be a great Quidditch player but we've had to pack away all the ornaments and make sure we don't take our eyes off him when he gets goingWe had a very quiet birthday tea, just us and old Bathilda who has always been sweet to us and who dotes on GarryWe were so sorry you couldn't come, but the Order's got to come first, and Harry's not old enough to know it's his birthday anyway! James is getting a bit frustrated shut up here, he tries not to show it but I can tell - also Dumbledore's still got his Invisibility Cloak, so no chance of little excursionsIf you could visit, it would cheer him up so muchWormy was here last weekendI thought he seemed down, but that was probably the next about the McKinnons
"I don't understand you, Kreacher," he said...
"I don't understand you, Kreacher," he said finally"Voldemort tried to kill you, Regulus died to bring Voldemort down, but you were still happy to betray Sirius to Voldemort? You were happy to go to Narcissa and Bellatrix, and pass information to Voldemort through them \a133 "
"Harry, Kreacher doesn't think like that," said Hermione, wiping her eyes on the back of her hand"He's a slave
She was frowning at Xenophilius, but she did not...
She was frowning at Xenophilius, but she did not contradict him"So where do you think the Elder Wand is now?" asked Ron"Alas, who knows?" said Xenophilius, as he gazed out of the window"Who knows where the Elder Wand lies hidden? The trail goes cold with Arcus and LiviusWho can say which of them really defeated Loxias, and which took the wand? And who can say who may have defeated them? History, alas, does not tell usFinally Hermione asked stiffly, "MrLovegood, does the Peverell family have anything to do with the Deathly Hallows?"
Xenophilius looked taken aback as something shifted in Harry's memory, but he could not locate ithe had heard that name before"But you have been misleading me, young woman!" said Xenophilius, now sitting up much straighter in his chair and goggling at Hermione"I thought you were new to the Hallows Quest! Many of us Questers believe that the Peverells have everything - gucci watch bands \ieverything!\i - to do with the Hallows!"
"Who are the Peverells?" asked Ron"That was the name on the grave with the mark on it, in Godric's Hollow," said Hermione, still watching Xenophilius
"Exactly!" said Xenophilius, his forefinger raised pedantically"The sign of the Death Hallows on Ignotus's grave is conclusive proof!"
"Of what?" asked Ron"Why, that the three brothers in the story were actually the three Peverell brothers, Antioch, Cadmus and Ignotus! That they were the original owners of the Hallows!"
With another glance at the window he got to his feet, picked up the tray, and headed for the spiral staircase"You will stay for dinner?" he called, as he vanished downstairs again"Everybody always requests our recipe for Freshwater Plimply soup
"Probably to show the Poisoning Department at StMungo's," said Ron under his breathHarry waited until they could hear Xenophilius moving about in the kitchen chloe paddington bags downstairs before speaking"What do you think?" he asked Hermione"Oh, Harry," she said wearily, "it's a pile of utter rubbishThis can't be what the sign really meansThis must just be his weird take on it
"I s'pose this \iis\i the man who brought us Crumple-Horned Snorkacks," said Ron"You didn't believe it either?" Harry asked him"Nah, that story's just one of those things you tell kids to teach them lessons, isn't it? 'Don't go looking for trouble, don't go pick fights, don't go messing around with stuff that's best left alone! Just keep your head down, mind your own business, and you'll be okayCome to think of it," Ron added, "maybe that story's why elder wands are supposed to be unlucky
"What are you talking about?"
"One of those superstitions, isn't it? 'May-born witches will marry Muggles' 'Jinx by twilight, undone by midnight' 'Wand of cider, never prosper' You must have heard themMy mum's full of bolsas prada them
"Harry and I were raised by Muggles," Hermione reminded him"We were taught different superstitions She sighed deeply as a rather pungent smell drifted up from the kitchenThe one good thing about her exasperation with Xenophilius was that it seemed to have made her forget that she was annoyed at Ron"I think you're right," she told him"It's just a morality tale, it's obvious which gift is best, which one you'd choose -"
The three of them spoke at the same time: Hermione said, "the Cloak," Ron said, "the wand," and Harry said, "the stone
They looked at each other, half surprised, half amused"You're \isupposed\i to say the Cloak," Ron told Hermione, "but you wouldn't need to be invisible if you had the wandAn \iunbeatable wand\i, Hermione, come on!"
