Luna POV

Sneaking out of the castle was probably the easiest part. Not getting caught, however…. Is a totally different story… and if I didn't have to wear armor…. Or go through well patrolled corridors.

"Oi! Student outta bed! Student outta bed!" Filch crackled, his glowing lantern swaying dangerously. "Detention for sure!"

"Sir, I have permission from Chiron. I'm also his pupil, and needs me," I said, trying not to cower.

"Well I don't believe you! To the Headmaster's office, Lovegood!" he seized my arm, his grimy fingernails digging into my sweatshirt.

"I'm not lying, Professor!" I exclaimed not five minutes later.

"I know," my much older half brother sighed. "You may go, Miss Lovegood." He handed me a scrap of parchment. "Would you give this to Chiron for me?"

"Of course, Professor," I relaxed, standing.

"Argulus, sit down," Albus Dumbledore gestured to the chair I had occupied only moments ago.

"Why doesn't Loony get detention?" he resumed his sulking in the straight backed chair as well as he could.

"You're going to tell him, Albus?" a portrait hissed from the wall.

"Oh, where are my manners? Luna, this is Phineas Nigellus, son of Hades. Phineas, this is my half sister, Luna Lovegood."

"A pleasure," I looked up at him.

"Wait- son of Hades? Half sister? DUMBLEDORE!" Filch demanded. "TELL ME EVERYTING!"

"I should head down to the pitch," I mumbled, backing out of the room.

"Of course, Luna. Go on ahead," Dumbledore put his elbows on his mahogany desk. "Now Argulus…."

Glad to be out of there, I ran down the steps and through the castle, only receiving odd looks from the few ghosts out and minor resistance from the heavy oak door and dark mud.

"Come on, Lovegood!" the Stoll brothers called, stopping their sparring as I ran in.

"I'd be sorry that Filch is the Idiot of Hogwarts, but that's out of my control at the moment," I snapped, continuing over to Chiron. "Sorry I'm late. The caretaker, Mr. Filch, stopped me on my way down," I handed him the note, "Professor Dumbledore asked me to give you this."

"Thanks Luna. Why don't you go spar with… Susan?" he scanned the note, frowning slightly.

"Will do," I ran over and attacked the girl, whom I fought for another hour and a half before Chiron called us back.

"Does anyone have any ideas for our presentation?" we gathered in a half circle around him, and I began to take a sip of water. "We where thinking of showing the orientation video-"

"EWW! LUNA!" Katie screamed as I spewed water at the idea.

"Sorry. But do we want them to die of boredom?" I apologized.

"There needs to be action. If there's on thing we wizards like, its violence," Susan added.

"But I liked the video idea," Silena frowned.

"Diddo," Michel said, and Katie and Pollux nodded.

"Luna's right. We need action," Clarisse, surprise surprise, argued.

"We'll have to meet a compromise." Justin frowned, knowing that Silena, Clarisse, and Katie where very stubborn.

"Thanks, captain obvious," Thalia rolled her eyes.

"Well, the movie's what, five minutes? We can show it, and then show some fighting and justification," Annabeth reasoned.

"What are you doing here?" a voice said from behind me, and we all jumped, drawing our weapons. Angelina Johnson of Gryffindor glared at us from the front of the pack that was their Quidditch team. "We've booked the pitch."

"Well, we'd probably know what you meant if we knew you and why you're here." Nico glared, and I swear I saw Angelina flinch.

"That's the Gryffindor Quidditch team. They've won last year's season, and are nearly undefeated. We've broken that trend." Justin smirked, gesturing to Susan, Hannah, and himself.

"Oh, because we're that much farther behind?" I crossed my arms. "We won the cup three years ago- kicking their butts back to London, we did! And, my favorite part, we gave them their worst beating in three hundred years!"

"Must you talk about our few defeats?" Katie (Bell, not Gardener) tightened her grip on the broom she was holding.

"Yes. Yes we must."


A/N: Now, before you guys review and say a bunch of nasty things about me bashing Gryffindor like that, keep in mind that I don't actually feel that strongly, but the characters do. I really didn't want to make them out of character. So no bashing of Sailorgirl3! REVIEW! Oh, and guess what? I found two of what look like Snape's potions bottles in a cabinet in my kitchen. My parents must have 'borrowed' them! And, before you type anything, yes, I am insane! But not as insane as my friends!

Thanks for revewing guys! Anyone not on here- revew and you will be:

If you're an author who's getting the 'error type 2 error' whenever you try to update, use this. I got it fromI'mTheGirlWhoLearnedToFly. Thanks!

And then on one of the forums I found a method to get around the error message.

To update your stories and add new chapters:

Copy this link into your address bar:

h t t p : / / l o g i n . f a n f i c t i o n . n e t / s t o r y / s t o r y _ e d i t _ c o n t e n t . p h p ? s t o r y i d =

Obviously you need to remove the spaces. I needed to add these spaces because otherwise fanfiction wouldn't let me upload the link.

Copy your story's 'STORY ID', and paste is right after the '='. No spaces.

In case you don't know what a story ID is, in your story, just below the author name, you'll see the following details:

Rated: rating - language - genre - main characters - Reviews: number of reviews - Published: date published - (in)complete - id:0123456789

The number is your story ID. So you just copy the number on your story-DON'T COPY 'ID:' TOO!-and then paste it.

Just press enter! And upload! And spread the word!

It worked for me, anyway. I'm not sure if it'll work for you. I hope it does.
