AN: Hey guys so I only got a short chapter for you guys since I'm on vacation. Hope you enjoy. Also sorry if the spacing isn't very good, I typed this on my phone.

"W-WHAT?!" Hermione screeched as she looked around the room. I had purposely made the room with large rows of books. "H-how did you manage to find this place?!"
"It was really quite simple," I said as I walked past her and pulled out a chair for her. "I simply just, got lost."
"What does that have to do with finding a room that's been lost for centuries?!"
"A wise man once said, 'You have to be lost to find places that can't be found.'" I said with a smug smile. Man I was enjoying this. "But anyway, you were going to tell me how you've been managing to be in multiple classes at once."
"R-right," Hermione said as she sat down, eyeing the bookshelves.
Hermione then explained how she had gotten permission to use a Time Turner. How she was now taking every subject that Hogwarts.
"Every subject?" I asked slowly.
"Yes."
"As in everything offered?"
"Yes."
"... Even Muggle Studies?" I asked trying to hold off a bit of laughter.
"How's that funny?" Hermione asked with a small glare.
"No it's not. I mean why shouldn't you learn about muggles? I mean neither of us know anything about them," I said as a I let out a few chuckles.
"Oh shut up," she muttered.
"Ok sorry, but you do realize that the last person to take every class went mad and jumped off the Astronomy Tower?"
"Really?!"
"Of course not," I said as I let out a roar of laughter and Hermione glared at me. "Now what do you say I give you the grand tour?"
I~
Hermione had been delighted with how the room could give her any book she could want but was slightly disappointed that she couldn't take it with her since the room wouldn't let her.
"Why won't the room let us take the books with us?"
"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with it being tied down to the rooms magic so when we leave everything disappears so that would make the book disappear too," I told her.
"How do you know so much about all of this," she asked me.
"It's just a guess," I lied. "I mean if you go through through the basics if Transfiguration then it's easy to come to the conclusion of how the room works."
Hermione didn't seem fully satisfied by my answer but seemed to accept it nonetheless.

It was Halloween now and I was sitting with Neville and Luna at the Gryffindor table. Neville was telling us that he would bring us back all the candy from Honeydukes that he could, and that he would be back as soon as he could..
"Don't worry about it Nev. Take your time. Just make sure that you get me some sugar quills," I said as I gave him a few Silver Sickles. That's one thing that Ron and I have in common. Unless it's a gift or an emergency then I don't like people
paying for my stuff.
"I just feel bad for leaving you guys here," he told us.
"Ah don't worry about it. Besides, if I went then who'd stay here and keep Luna company," I said as I wrapped an arm around her.
"Thank you Daniel," Luna said with a small smile.
"Alright then," Neville said as he stood up. "I'll see you then."
"I suppose you will, unless a Blueberry Blinder finds you."
"I guess I'll try to avoid them," Neville said sheepishly.
Luna then broke out into a fit of giggles. "N-Neville don't be ridiculous! You can't avoid a Blueberry Blinder!"
Neville left without another word with the rest of the students that we're going to Hogsmeade. I looked down the table and saw Harry sitting there by himself.
"Harry!" I shouted over to him. He looked up and I waved him over.
He walked over and sat down in front of Luna and me.
"Hey, you're not going?" Harry asked me.
"No, my guardians didn't sign the form," I told him.
Harry nodded and looked to me left and at Luna. "Hi," he said a bit awkwardly.
"Hello Harry Potter," Luna said as she stared at Harry for a but. "You seem to have quite a bit of Wackspurts in your head."
"W-what?" Harry asked, completely confused by what she had just said. "Who are you?"
"I'm Luna Lovegood."
"She's Luna," I said a second after her with a smile.
"Umm, n-nice to meet you."
"Thank you Harry Potter, but I actually have to go get my book on magical creatures that is if we are still going to visit Hagrid?" She asked me.
"Of course we are!"
"Very well then goodbye," she said as she stood up and walked made her way for the exit of the Hall.
"She's… interesting," Harry said as he watched her walk away.
"Very," I agreed.
"So…" Harry trailed off unsure of how to start a conversation with me.
"So you grew up with muggles?" I asked.
"Uhh, yes, I did my aunt, uncle, and their whale of a son," he told me.
"What was that like?"
"Well they're not the most tolerant people when it comes to magic," he said.
"I understand. Well not really the magic intolerance, but more of the intolerance in general," I said but as I looked up he had a confused expression. "There's this man that I work for, and he's not a very well liked man in the community-"
"Why?" Harry asked me.
"Huh? Oh they think that he murdered three people but there was never any concrete evidence, anyway," Harry looked at me with a shocked expression," he is really a nice guy, sure rough around the edges and he had table manners that would
make a troll feel disgusted, but really nice. So now that I work with him people tend to stay away from me, and look at me if I'm a murderer in training."
"That must bother you," Harry said.
"Not really."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean it doesn't bother me."
Harry looked at me like I was crazy. "Why doesn't it bother you?"
"Well to quote a very wise man, 'Let them see that their words can hurt you'll never be free of the mockery. If they want to give you a name, take it. Make it your own. Then they can't hurt you with it anymore,' " I said. Thank you Tyrion Lannister.
"Daniel," Luna voice said to my left making me jump in my seat. "Are you ready?"
"Where the hell did you come from?" I asked, completely shocked at how she managed to sneak up on me.
"Are you ready?" she asked once more.
"Well Harry it was nice talking to you, but I'm afraid that I must be off," I said as I got up and left to Hagrid's Hut with Luna in tow.
I~
Well Hagrid wasn't in a very talkative mood. Granted neither would I if my awesome Hippogriff was going to be executed, but he couldn't even see Luna.
Anyway, Neville and the rest of the people that went to Hogsmeade came back and Neville had given Luna and I a rather large amount of sweets. I swear I just wanted to dig in right there but unfortunately we had to get to the Halloween feast.
Luna sat with Neville and me again, which drew a few strange looks from my Housemates.
But oh my God, was the food was delicious. And just the feeling of being in the Great Hall was amazing. Nearly Headless Nick did a reenactment of his almost beheading. Luna began telling tales of the expositions with her Father looking for different creatures.
When the feast ended Luna went with her Housemates to her common room while Neville and I followed the rest of the Gryffindors. When we got there the staircase was completely jammed.
"Why isn't anyone going in?" Harry asked.
"Neville's probably forgot the password again," Ron said earning a smack in the back of the head from me. Dumbledore showed up quickly as did Peeves, who told Dumbledore that Sirius Black washere. Dumbledore then ordered us all to the Great
Hall.
When we arrived some of us gathered and began theorizing how he managed to get in. The theories ranged from apperating and using a portkey to other even dumber ideas.
"Honestly," I heard Hermione sat. "Am I the only one that's read Hogwarts A History?"
"Yes," everyone responded.
"Hey!" I yelled at them. "I take offense to that."
"Anyway, the castle has wards that keep people out and it's unplottable. And I highly doubt a disguise would fool the Dementors."
"The lights are going out now!" Percy shouted. "I want everyone in their sleeping bags and no more talking."
I~
The school talked about nothing but Sirius Black for the next few days. And the theories just kept getting wilder. Hannah Abbott told everyone that Sirius could turn into a flowering shrub.
And unfortunately we got our new portrait today.
"Halt who goes there?!" Sir Cadogan demanded as I walked up to the portrait for the first time.
"Deplorable Delinquents Destroyed by Do Gooders," I said as Neville and the other third years came up behind me.
"Correct, and may I just say how amazing it is having a Champion of Ravenclaw in Gryffindor!" Cadogan shouted.
"Wait what?"
"What did he say?"
"Did he say a Champion of Ravenclaw?"
Confused murmurs broke out behind me as people tried to make sense of what Cadogan shouted.
"W-What are you talking about Cadogan?" I growled at the painting.
"What do you mean sir? The sorting hat told Professor Dumbledore that you were a Champion of Ravenclaw!"
"Shut up Cadogan," I said to the Knight.
"And of course several of the paintings in the Headmaster's office heard-"
"CADOGAN!" I yelled finally managing to get the damn picture to shut up, but the damage had already been done.
