The gang’s back together, but Ron has some serious and somber work cut out for him when it comes to winning Hermione over again, and tuning the wireless radio certainly isn’t helping. Luckily, Harry and Ron are very subtly able to get away to “pick blackberries,” which is bro code for “goof off ten feet away from the tent.” Meanwhile, Hermione comes up with a plan to pay old Xeno Lovegood a visit, which seems foolproof as long as no one touches the erumpent horn (and there’s no way anyone possibly will).

Oh, I never thought about the meaning of Xenophilius. It suits him well.
The Ron and Harry friendship is especially precious in this chapter.
I think it’s really cute that Voldemort has a new RWS nickname.
I guess JK Rowling wanted us to be as surprised as Harry once we do get the reveal.
I really liked Ron’s ‘love and war’ line. He’s not even hiding his feelings anymore.
The X. Lovegood in the audio version threw me off because it sounded like ‘Ex-Lovegood’, haha.
