Luna Lovegood

After a while, in the Gringotts hall, Edward and the others began to gather. After that they walked towards the Gringotts exit.

Edward, who was currently walking near Harry, suddenly heard him ask Ron and Hermione

"Guess who I saw in Borgin and Burkes?"

"Malfoy and his father!" said Harry without waiting for Ron or Hermione to answer.

"Did Lucius Malfoy buy anything?" said Mr. Weasley sharply behind them.

"No, he was selling".

"So he is worried" said Mr. Weasley with grim satisfaction, "Oh, I'd love to get Lucius Malfoy for something".

"You be careful, Arthur" said Mrs. Weasley sharply as they were bowed into the bank by a goblin at the door, "That family's trouble. Don't go biting off more than you can chew".

"So you don't think I'm a match for Lucius Malfoy" said Mr. Weasley indignantly.

'Malfoy on Diagon Alley? I don't know whether he brought Tom Riddle's diary or not. But I have to make sure later' Edward thought.

Although he was sorry for Ginny, Edward still had to make sure that Tom Riddle's diary remained in Ginny's hands as happened in the plot. He did not want something to happen beyond his reach.

Even if he had Tom Riddle's diary in his hand now, Edward still couldn't do anything about Horcruxes with his current strength.

He currently does not have artifacts that can destroy Horcruxes. He also can't use the Killing Curse and the Fiendfyre Curse is too dangerous and difficult to control.

The only way left was to use Basilisk venom, and it was in the Chamber of Secrets.

And only parseltongue can enter the Chamber of Secrets. Harry and Voldemort are parseltongue that Edward knew until now.

If there are no incidents about Tom Riddle's diary, then Harry will not search and enter the Chamber of Secrets to save Ginny from Tom Riddle. And Harry also won't kill the Basilisk.

Basilisk is also a dangerous creature, Edward did not want the creature to live longer, especially in a place like Hogwarts.

He did not know what would happen if the Basilisk remained alive. He doesn't want a sudden incident where Voldemort comes to Hogwarts and uses a Basilisk. Edward could not imagine what would happen if the Basilisk went berserk inside Hogwarts.

That's why he needs Harry's help to open the Chamber of Secrets and it is with the help of Ginny who holds Tom Riddle's diary.

After thinking for a while, Edward sighed while gripping his fist tightly. He never felt this weak. Even after knowing the future, he remained weak and even endangered Hermione and the others at Hogwarts.

After they were outside Gringotts, they planned to separate because they wanted to take a walk in Diagon Alley. Percy muttered vaguely about needing a new quill. Fred and George had spotted their friend from Hogwarts, Lee Jordan. Mrs. Weasley and Ginny were going to a secondhand robe shop. Mr. Weasley was insisting on taking Mr. and Mrs. Granger off to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink.

"Ed, do you want to follow us?" asked Hermione.

"No, I will go with your parents and Mr. Weasley" Edward shook his head.

"Don't you want to buy something? You can come with us!" Hermione insisted.

"It's okay, I can buy it later" said Edward.

"I know you want to buy something and hide it from me" said Hermione, narrowing her eyes.

Edward just shrugged, still not moving.

Seeing Edward like that, Hermione snapped at Harry and Ron and walk away.

"Harry, Ron, let's go!".

"We'll all meet at Flourish and Blotts in an hour to buy your schoolbooks" said Mrs. Weasley, setting off with Ginny "And not one step down Knockturn Alley!" she shouted at the twins'retreating backs.

After that they began to separate and walked towards the crowd.

While Edward, Mr. Weasley, and Hermione's parents walked towards the Leaky Cauldron.

"Why don't you go with Hermione and her friends?" said Mrs. Granger on the way.

"She just met her friends" answered Edward, "They have many things to talk about, so I don't want to disturb their reunion".

...

Arriving at the Leaky Cauldron, Mr. Weasley immediately looked for a seat for them. It seems like he can't wait to talk about muggles.

But after looking around, Edward found that the Leaky Cauldron was almost full. It seems they have to find another place to drink.

Suddenly Edward saw Mr. Weasley walk to one of the tables. There sat a wizard with shoulder-length white hair, who seemed to be writing something on the table.

And across from the man, sat a girl with dirty blonde hair. The girl gave off an aura of distinct dottiness, and it seemed like she was reading the magazine upside down.

See Mr. Weasley walked to the table, Edward and the others followed.

"Xeno! How are you?" said Mr Weasley to the white-haired man, then to the girl who was still reading a magazine, "Oh, hello Luna, it looks like you will attend Hogwarts like Ginny this year".

"Oh, hello Mr. Weasley" said the girl dreamily, then returned to reading the magazine.

"Arthur! What are you doing here?" said the man in surprise, "Where is Molly and the others?".

"Oh, Molly accompanied Ginny and the others bought school supplies" said Mr. Weasley "Have you finished buying school supplies for Luna?".

"We just finished and will go home" said the man, then looked at Edward and Mr. and Mrs. Granger "Oh, Arthur, who are they?".

After that, Mr. Weasley began introducing them to the white-haired man and the girl sitting opposite the man. They are Xenophilius Lovegood and his daughter Luna Lovegood.
