I sit frozen for a second, knowing absolutely nothing to say. I mean, this is Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy here. HELLO??

"Um...well, I'm Kate Moonshadow and I'm not exactly sure how I got here, but I've been here enough to know that you're planning on doing something in this room. But I don't mean to threaten you or anything. I promise I won't tell anyone...BUT only if you'll help me, I seriously don't know how I got here."

Hermione sensing the seriousness in my voice relaxes and comes over to me. She sits down next to me and says, "What do you mean you don't know how you got here?"

"Are you a first year, are you lost, no...*Hermione thinks for a second*... no you definitely don't look like a first year, how old are you?"

"I'm 15, so..." I manage. "Well, that obviously means you're a fifth year like me, but I don't know you, do you recognize her Draco?" *Draco eyes me suspiciously* "No 'Mione, haven't seen her before". "I know you haven't, its because I just appeared her a couple of minutes ago." I tell them. "You know how to apparate? WOW! I'm only learning, can you show me how to do it?" Hermione seems stunned and extremely impressed. But as much as I want to play along I know that I shouldn't be here at all. "No Hermione, you don't understand, I was just..." "You know my name? How? Who are you?" Hermione interrupts. "No you don't understand, just listen; I live in Australia, I'm a pure born muggle, and I was just sitting in math class secretly reading my Harry Potter book, when *poof*!" I tell them both. "How do you know Harry? And what do you mean by a Harry Potter book? I just don't get it". Hermione seems lost. "For once Hermione, you don't get something" Draco smirks. Hermione gives him a look that plainly states 'Shut up'.

"Well,..." I continue. "As I said I am a muggle. And in the muggle world there is a very famous author that has written a series of stories relating to Harry Potter and all his adventures here in Hogwarts. So in the muggle world you Hermione, you Draco, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred, and George are all fictional characters, created by a British author. These books are extremely popular all around the world, and have been translated into more than 50 languages."

"So you're saying, while we are living our real lives here at Hogwarts, children in the muggle world know all about us and lives and think that we're not real, just made us characters in books? " Draco asks very interested. "Precisely" I answer. "J K Rowling, the author, has written 5 books in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the 'Chamber of Secrets', "The Prisoner of Azkaban', The 'Goblet of Fire', and a new book that's not even out yet, called "The Order Of The Phoenix". "So you mean this J K Rowling woman knows all about us and can predict our future? *I nod* "Wow, this is absolutely amazing, don't you think Draco?" Hermione turns to looks at him. "Draco?" Hermione says sternly. "DRACO??"

"Oh, sorry... I guess I just kinda fell into a daydream there, yeah I really wasn't expecting to find out this much when I came up here with you Hermione". Draco smirks.

"Oh very funny Draco, do you understand how serious this is? People of all ages in different countries can see into our personal lives, and read about us whenever they please. Do you understand the seriousness of all this?" Hermione instructs him in a very teacher like way.

"Yeah, I do see. Hey, what was your name? ...Kate, yeah do you happen to have a copy of one of these so called "Harry Potter" books, and why does it always have to be about Potter anyway, it's not as if he gets enough attention already." Draco grumbles on.

"Actually I just happened to be on the first chapters of the Goblet Of Fire when I appeared here. Here, have a look." *And I hand him the book that was lying on my lap.*

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, eh? This should be interesting, I want to see just how this woman captured my unique personality." Draco laughs.

"Don't worry Draco, I'm sure she's captured every last bit of it; and what exactly were you two coming up here for?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

*Both Draco and Hermione go a deep shade of pink* "Seriously Kate, it's not what you think. We were...um... just supposed to be doing some late night studying for Divination." Hermione mumbles. *Draco nods in agreement.

This should be interesting, very interesting. "I just need to find a way back." I tell them. "Well, we'll make it our duty to help you". Hermione tells me, smiling. "Yeah,we will" Draco agrees. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
