Quote:Noticing that a bookmark was sticking out of the tome, Hermione opened the book to that page. "The Hounds of Tindalos? Oh look she's written something here." Hermione said.
"Hermione, I figured Harry would let you have first go at this. This story describes one of a cousin's encounters with wild Nargles. My family has managed to train them though now, so while they are dangerous, they won't attack anyone wearing either the Potter or Lovegood crest. They like to make dens in patches of mistletoe. Given their apparent size, that may come as a surprise, but remember, these creatures aren't of our usual three dimensions, so can express only as much or as little as they want into our reality while still being comfortable." Hermione read out Luna's note about Nargles.
Harry shuddered for a moment then said "You know what, I read those stories when I would hide in the library during lunches at school. I'll just nod and agree with whatever Luna says about one of her creatures."
Hermione just nodded in agreement, she too had read those stories.

As a note of warning, this fic kind of lays it on heavy to set things up in the first two or three chapters, to the point that a real person recieving the injuries described would likely be drowning in their own blood, not okay for an hour or so with a pain potion before getting someone to cast healing magic. It's strongly reccomended for the squeamish to just skip over a few paragraphs after the first blow of an violence, and don't even finish the sentence if it involves a body flying through the air. This one is very much at M-videogame level violence. Also, 13-yo Harry occasionally sounds a decade or so older than that, despite not being one of those send-your-mind-back-to-kill-your-younger-self-and-take-over-their-life fics.

ETA: A couple chapters later:
Quote:After a few moments of thought, Luna turned to Neville and said "Oh, Neville I was wondering if I could get you to help me with something else."--
Neville looked curious and replied "What would you need my help with Luna?"
Luna said in her usual dreamy tone "Well I need to breed up some more Blibbering Humdingers, and since they're a fungoid species, well your help would be appreciated. I know how good you are with plants and all."
At this, Harry and Hermione's eyebrows rose a bit. "Fungoid? Luna are you breeding Mi-Go?" Hermione asked a little nervously. The anxiety both teens felt at Luna's slightly manic smile did not help at all.
