HP Starlight

To avoid spending too much time with Sirius, Esther arrives at the Burrow just before Harry's birthday dinner begins.

"Happy birthday, Harry." Esther hugged Harry who came up to him, and whispered to him, "I'll give you a birthday present later."

She walked to the seat next to Tonks and sat down, handing her the shiny crystal bottle. "If you feel uncomfortable, just take a sip. You won't spit out what you eat. You can also pour out a little for aromatherapy. My uncle discovered it..." When talking about uncle, Esther couldn't help but pouted .

Tonks gave Esther a grateful look, and carefully put the crystal bottle into his inner pocket.

Suddenly a silver light flew into the yard and landed in front of everyone.Mr. Weasley's Patronus Weasel straightened his upper body and said, "The Minister of Magic is with me."

Almost at the same time that the silver light disappeared, Lupine pulled Tonks up and ran towards the fence while apologizing.Soon the two climbed over the fence and disappeared.

Esther looked warily at Scrimgeour, who came in with Arthur.But the Minister for Magic seems to have a clear goal.Without hesitation, he called Harry, Ron and Hermione away, and wanted to talk to them alone.

Sirius' eyes kept darting across the Burrow door, as if hesitating to rush right in.The rest chatted uncomfortably with Arthur, guessing why the Minister of Magic came.Esther sat quietly where she was, but her nerves were tense, ready to draw her wand and rush in at any moment.

For a long time, everyone waited anxiously outside.Sirius had stood up for the third time to go in and have a look, but was stopped by Arthur and Bill.Suddenly there was a fierce quarrel, and Sirius couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed out like an arrow.Arthur and Molly followed.Est also followed.

The Minister of Magic and Harry stood facing each other, their noses almost touching.Seeing someone coming in, the Minister of Magic regained his sanity, maintained his proper demeanor, and limped away from the Burrow.

"What does he want to do?" Arthur asked, back at the garden dinner table.

"Give us what Dumbledore left us," said Harry. "They just brought out what was bequeathed."

"But they won't give Harry the sword of Gryffindor. Even though Dumbledore's will says so," said Hermione bitterly.

Esther had never heard Dumbledore talk about her leaving a will.She took Ron's Deluminator and looked at it, and flipped through "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" in Hermione's hand.It was a wizard's fairy tale book, and Esther was not a child who grew up in the wizarding world, and had never read these stories.Among them, Dumbledore's most annotated story is "The Legend of the Three Brothers".Esther noticed a triangular mark next to the story, exactly like the Peverell crest on the Resurrection Stone.She pays attention.

She couldn't hog Hermione's stuff for too long, so she quickly passed the book on to the next person, like everyone else.But she made up her mind to go back and ask Dumbledore.

The birthday dinner was a bit sloppy.Dinner was briefly sung Happy Birthday, and the Snitch-topped cake was shared in a hurry.After tidying up the garden, Esther called Harry to the open space away from the house and brought him the resurrection stone.

"I can't think of anything to give you. This is an item I got before, it can bring back the dead - I think if you want to see your parents today - maybe it will help -" Esther hesitated After a while, he continued, "However, if you use this thing for a long time or use it incorrectly, it will have adverse effects. Don't summon the undead outside your family. It will leave a soul imprint, which is very dangerous. You should think about it before using it."

There seemed to be a light in Harry's eye.When he heard that he could see his parents, he was already distracted, and he didn't hear what Esther said later.Esther had to re-emphasize the consequences of inappropriate use until Harry understood exactly what she meant.

"But how?" Harry asked impatiently.

"Think about the person you're meeting and flip three times," Est said.

Harry did so without hesitation.Suddenly his eyes became bright, reflecting the warm yellow light of the Burrow.Esther quietly retreated a little further away, setting up a soundproof air wall around Harry.Then boredly looking at the stars to review the knowledge of astronomy that I have no interest in.

Molly and Hermione came to look for Harry one after another, and they were both a little uneasy.Esther made an excuse to drive them away.After a long time, Esther was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Harry from behind.

"Give it back to you, thank you for the gift, I—I'm very happy." Harry's eyes were red.He blinked hard enough to make them less obvious.

"I'm sorry, maybe this is not so suitable as a 17th birthday present." Esther regretted making him sad on his birthday.

"No, I really like this gift. I mean - if you can - when you get the chance - can you lend it to me again?" said Harry hesitantly.

"Of course, but don't be too obsessed. After all, they belong to two worlds, and too much contact is not good." Esther advised.

Harry nodded, rubbed his eyes, smiled firmly at Esther, and walked towards the Burrow.

Looking at Harry's lonely back, Esther had the urge to give him the Resurrection Stone directly.But reason held her back.Judging from Harry's performance, it might not be a good thing to give it to him.

Back from the Burrow, Esther couldn't wait to talk to Dumbledore about his will to Harry and the others, and that Peverell crest.But she knocked on the door for a long time but no one came to open it.She had to use her wand to open the door, and it was dark inside.Dumbledore left with Grindelwald.

Esther waited until the evening of the next day, and there was no sign of Dumbledore returning.She had to go to the Burrow first for Bill and Fleur's wedding.She arrived a little late, and most of the guests were already seated.A strange boy with red hair came up to meet her.

"Esther, thank God you are here. I thought something happened to you." The strange boy said in a familiar tone.

Esther raised his eyebrows, "I'm still worried that I won't be able to find you. The disguise needs to be comprehensive. It's wrong to be so enthusiastic about a stranger. What identity do you use?"

"Sorry, so relaxed to see you. I'm Barney, Ron's cousin." Harry gave a shy smile that was his own.

Esther followed Harry into the big white wedding tent.She avoided the lively crowd and chose to sit in a quiet corner in the last row.Compared with Tonks and Lupine's simple wedding, Fleur and Bill's wedding is downright extravagant.But whether it is simple or luxurious, the faces of the newcomers are all the same happy expression.Esther clapped her hands in congratulations, showing a standard polite smile.But my heart was tightly locked up by myself, and I couldn't feel any happiness or sadness.

After completing the ceremony, a dance floor was conjured up in the tent.Esther returned to the corner and sat down after presenting the newcomer a gift.Soon Harry brought Ron and Hermione over to take the vacant seat at the same table.

"Aren't you going to dance?" Esther said, looking at Hermione and Ron.The two of them were holding hands tightly, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were in a passionate relationship.

"There are too many people now." Ron said, looking at the crowd on the dance floor.

Viktor Krum suddenly walked towards Esther's table, "I guess Fleur will also invite you, Esther. Do you know the man in yellow?"

"Xenophilius Lovegood is the father of a friend of ours." Before Esther could speak, Ron rushed to say, with an obvious smell of gunpowder.Then he said abruptly to Hermione, "I've changed my mind, let's go dancing now, it's a really nice tune."

Hermione blushed and followed Ron onto the dance floor.Viktor followed the direction Hermione left with his eyes, and asked in a murmur, "Are they getting along?"

"Well - let it be," said Harry.

"Who are you?" Viktor asked, looking back at Harry.

"Barney Weasley."

Viktor shook Harry's hand politely and said, "So, do you know that Lovegood man?"

"I'm not familiar with you. It's the first time I've seen you. What's the matter?" Esther glanced at Lovegood again, and felt that he didn't have any special feelings except that he was dressed a little differently.

Viktor stared at him angrily and said, "Because, if he wasn't a guest invited by Fleur, I would have to fight him on the spot, and he actually has that evil symbol on his chest!"

Esther followed his words and saw the same symbol as Dumbledore marked next to the Resurrection Stone and "The Legend of the Three Brothers", the same symbol as the triangular eye.

"Peverell's sign?" Esther asked.

"Who is Peverell? I don't know, I just know that's the symbol of Grindelwald." The muscles on Viktor's face throbbed with anger, "Grindelwald killed many people, my grandfather was one of them One. Of course he doesn't have much power in the country, they say he's afraid of Dumbledore - well, he locked him up. But they say he's escaped. Some say he's dead, and it's better that way , otherwise I wouldn't mind killing him with my own hands! However, I recognized the symbol at a glance. Grindelwald carved it on a wall when he was studying in Durmstrang. Some fools copied it in textbooks, Clothes meant to frighten people and make themselves great—then those of us who lost loved ones to Grindelwald taught them a lesson..."

Viktor's wand has gold stars for his intense emotions.Esther touched his nose unconsciously, hoping that Grindelwald could stick to Sommer's identity for the rest of his life and not expose himself.She kind of understood now why Snape and Dumbledore were so vehemently against her having an affair with Grindelwald.

"Grigorovitch!" Harry said suddenly, startling Esther and Viktor, "he's a wandmaker! He made your wand! Where's he lately?"

"How do you know he made my wand?" Viktor looked at him suspiciously.

"I told him," Esther quickly reacted and helped Harry out, "He is your fanboy, and he has been pestering me to ask about you just now. He knows about the Triwizard Tournament we participated in together."

Viktor relaxes his vigilance, he still trusts Esther, which makes Esther feel more guilty.

"He retired a few years ago. I was one of the last to buy his wand. He's the best - of course you Brits value Ollivander's wands."

Esther thinks about Grindelwald, the triangle, and Harry's sudden mention of Gregorovich.Suddenly Viktor said to her, "Esther—do you—want to dance?"

"Ah? What?" Esther was interrupted and looked at Viktor blankly.Viktor repeated it again.She immediately refused subconsciously, "I don't want to—I mean, I don't want to be chased by a group of girls at the wedding." She smiled apologetically, got up and left the seat.

Esther saw that Viktor was no longer paying attention to her, so she turned to Mr. Lovegood and greeted him politely.

"Hello, Mr. Lovegood, my name is Collins, and I am a friend of Mrs. Weasley. What is this sign you are wearing? It looks very interesting." Esther looked like Love as if he didn't know anything. Mr. Good inquired.

"You mean this?" Mr. Lovegood held up the pendant on his chest to show Esther, "This is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows."

"The symbol of the Deathly Hallows?" Esther was even more confused, from Peverell's crest to Grindelwald's symbol, and now it is called the Deathly Hallows. "So what's the use of this Deathly Hallows?"

"Have you read The Tale of the Three Brothers?" said Mr. Lovegood abruptly, changing the subject.

"Uh, sort of." Esther said vaguely.

Mr. Lovegood didn't mind, and he went on to say, "The three brothers in the story got the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak from Death. The triangle represents the Invisibility Cloak, the circle represents the Resurrection Stone, and the middle one The stick represents the Elder Wand, and together they are the Deathly Hallows. And whoever possesses all three shall be the master of Death."

Esther's heart was pounding, and some clues were pieced together in her head.Dumbledore knew about the Deathly Hallows, and he left clues to Hermione, the smartest of Harry's friends.Did he hope she could help Harry find the Deathly Hallows and defeat Voldemort?Did Grindelwald see Harry return from the dead because he possessed the Deathly Hallows?

No, still no.I hold the Resurrection Stone myself, Harry has the Invisibility Cloak, and the Elder Wand should not be difficult to find. If Dumbledore wants Harry to have these three things, he can give them directly to him.Dumbledore must have known that if she told Esther it would save Harry's life, she would give him the Resurrection Stone without hesitation.But what Dumbledore told Esther was that Harry must die...

After thanking Esther and Lovegood, they returned to their corners and fell into thought.But the more I think about it, the more confused I get.Just when she was extremely irritable, a silver light fell from the top of the tent.A graceful lynx emerged from the silver light, landed lightly over the dancing crowd, and said slowly in Kingsley's loud, deep voice, "The Ministry of Magic is down. Scrimgeour is dead. Here they come. "

Esther drew her wand almost at the first sentence and ran to Harry's side.

"Quick, let's get out of here!" Esther grabbed Harry's arm and cast a protective spell around them.

"Hermione and Ron!" Harry yelled.

Esther had to search carefully among the chaotic crowd.Hooded Death Eaters had broken in, casting spells recklessly at the crowd.Esther strengthened the protective spell again, and pulled Harry to run in Hermione's direction.

Hermione was also pulling Ron to look for Harry.The moment she grabbed Harry, darkness engulfed them both.They apparated.

When they came out of the distorted space, all four of them gasped for breath.There are still people all around.But obviously this is the Muggle world.

"Where are we?" Ron asked.

"Tottenham Palace Road, the first place I can think of." Hermione said, "Come on, let's go, we need to find a place for you to change."

Esther followed them into a dark, quiet alley.Esther guarded the alley and added some expulsion spells.By the way, transform your own robe.

"We didn't bring a change of clothes, nor my invisibility cloak." Harry said with a faint remorse in his tone.

"It's okay, I have it." Hermione said confidently, shaking the small beaded bag in her hand, "The Untraceable Extending Charm, it's very difficult to do, but I should have done it. Anyway, I can pretend to be whatever I want." went in."

"It's really powerful." Esther said sincerely.

Hermione handed Harry and Ron their clothes and smiled coyly.

"It's not just amazing, it's simply amazing." Ron rolled up the robe and handed it to Hermione.

Harry put on the Invisibility Cloak and said uneasily, "Everyone else - everyone at the wedding -"

"It's fine without you," Esther said calmly, "The Phoenix Society will protect them."

After changing their clothes, the four people returned to the street. They sat down in a small cafe and slowly thought about where they were going.

"Maybe we could go to the Leaky Cauldron, it shouldn't be too far from here, right?" Ron suggested.

"We can't, Ron," Hermione objected.

"We're just going to find out what happened."

"Of course we know what happened, Voldemort has taken over the Ministry of Magic. What else do we need to know?" Hermione snapped.

Esther looked at them without saying a word. She knew that Grimmauld Place was a good choice, but it should be dangerous in their eyes.

At this moment, two big-bodied workers walked in, and Esther became vigilant.These two people gave her a very bad feeling and were full of aggression.Calmly, she poked her wand out of her sleeve.

Suddenly the two workers turned and pointed their wands sharply at them.Esther swung hard to block the spell.The impact of the spell caused a violent explosion, and the wallpaper, tables and chairs were shattered.

Esther turned his hand to attack the Death Eaters, and heard an invisible voice shouting in his ear, "All petrified!"

Harry's spell hit the big blond Death Eater, and Esther hit the other in unison.

"The Invisibility Cloak makes up for your lack of a voiceless spell." Esther commented lightly.

"Don't be harsh at this time, okay? Harry also hit one, didn't he?" Ron reacted from the shock and stood up for his good friend.

"How did they find us?" Hermione said hysterically.

Harry was much calmer, "Leave that alone, Esther, and lock the door. Ron put the lights out."

Esther was a little taken aback by Harry who suddenly started giving orders.It seems that getting along with Dumbledore taught him some leadership skills.She locked the door obediently and watched the room plunge into darkness.

"What now? Kill them?" Ron said nervously.

"No, delete the memory. Then return this place to normal." Harry said calmly.

Hermione and Esther took over the job of modifying memories.Ron and Harry set about mending tables, chairs and walls.

Everything was back to normal, and Hermione looked at the two stupid Death Eaters and asked, "How did they find us? Are there any traces of you?"

"Impossible," said Ron, "Zongsi disappeared automatically at the age of 17."

"That's just your way of saying -" Hermione retorted.

"I think Ron's right," interjected Esther, "if it's Zose, it's not two people. We should be thinking about where to go now instead of hanging around here, they're waking up."

"Grimmauld Place," said Harry.

"Don't be silly, Harry, Snape can go in too." Ron and Hermione's eyes widened.

"Moody and the others put some jinxes on him, and even if it didn't work—" Seeing Hermione protest, Harry hurried on, "So what? I'd love to meet him."

Esther pretended not to hear, stretched out her hand expressionlessly, and said, "Then hurry up, I don't want to have to use the Oblivion Charm again. It's very troublesome."
