Harry and the rest of the gang find out about the Deathly Hallows and think it has to do with bad magic, but X(Xenophilius) disagrees and says its about how wizards use the symbol to say "Oh yeah I believe in this legend" etc. Then Hermoine opens her book from Albus Dumbledore and reads about the Deathly Hallow. Here's the story:
Three brothers were traveling when they came to a river. They made a bridge using magic and when they were halfway Death came up and talked to them. Death was pretty angry about being cheated or something but congratulated the 3 by giving them stuff . The oldest brother asked for a wand that would always win duels. Death gave him a special wand. The second asked for the power resurrect. Death gave him a stone. The youngest brother asked for an item that would hide him and let him escape from Death himself. Death gave him his invisibility cloak. Then later on the eldest died because he bragged too much and got murdered in his sleep, the second brother tried to resurrect his old love but found out that it wasn't worth it and killed himself to be with her. The third brother lived on and passed his cloak down to his son and died peacefully.
X explains that the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility are the Deathly Hallows. If you got all three of these items then you would become master of death. Hermoine doesn't believe that they exist and X points out Harry's cloak is exactly like the one in the legend. X doesn't have proof for the stone but there have been rumors of the wand and how it's owner kept getting killed. Hermoine asks if they had to do with these Peverell guys. X says lots of people thought the 3 brothers were them. Then X calls the Ministry and they all get into a fight once the death eaters arrive. X then tries to hit Harry with a spell, then he misses and hits this explosive horn and the death eaters get mad and Hermoine dissaperates everyone.
This chapter was only interesting because of the three brother's story, the rest was boring. In the 3 Bro's story I was thinking that the 2 dead brothers were dumb in thinking that Death would congratulate them and not have any twist to it. Death is a portrayed as tricky and cunnning in basically every story. It just kind of made me mad that the two brothers actually fell for Death's trick. Overall, 3 Bros was good, rest was bad.
