After a few moments, Harry thought to ask the young witch how she managed to find him.
"Oh, that was easy," Luna replied. "When Hermione visited me at Daddy's office in Diagon Alley, she asked him to place a tracking charm on one of our delivery owls. Then we sent it out with a complementary back issue of the Quibbler."
"That worked?" asked Harry. "Wow, I figured Dumbledore was keeping owls away from me this summer."
"I'm sure he is," replied Luna. "That's why I suggested that we send the trial subscription to your cousin."
Harry paused for a moment before breaking out into a grin. "You belong in Ravenclaw, you know."
"So the Sorting Hat said," Luna replied.
"Funny thing, though…I didn't hear two words about a visiting owl today."
"That's because he hasn't made the delivery yet."
"How's that?"
"I don't know…there might be a separate ward beside the one that's diverting your mail. The owl that I tracked is sitting in a tree across the street…probably waiting for your cousin to leave the house."
"Oh…so how did you follow the owl?"
"Patsy gave me a ride."
"Patsy?"
"Patsy...she's the thestral that I rode on to the Ministry," Luna explained. "Followed me home from Hogwarts…I think she's adopted me."
"Really?" asked Harry. "That's great…so is Patsy outside then?"
"She's nearby," Luna replied. "Once she dropped me off on your window ledge she doubled back down the street to munch on some road kill."
