Hermione's birthday began with breakfast in bed served by extremely eager elves. Rabastan took her and Luna to lunch and museums in Milan. They returned just in time to dress for the formal dinner her parents were holding in her honor. Luna went home, Xenophilius accepted the invitation and she wanted to arrive with him. Having talked to Peregrine and Cassius, Yaxley was excited to discuss nargles and wrakenspurts with the Lovegoods.
