The quintet slowly made their way towards their separate common rooms, chatting merrily. They quickly said goodbye to Regulus as he broke off to take a quicker route to the Hufflepuff common room. Draco looks to Lyka questioningly as she continues to follow Harry and Luna, "Oi Lyka. Where ya going? We have to head downwards to get to the dungeons. Not up!" He gives a small laugh as Lyka looks back to him.

"Yeah. But this is the perfect opportunity to ask Luna a few questions." She gives him a look like it was supposed to be obvious.

Draco scrunches his brows in confusion, "Questions?"

Lyka tilts her head back and gives a dramatic sigh, "You know...supposedly we're all smart here. But why is it that I feel like I'm the only one who actually uses my brain on a regular basis?" She glances over to Luna, "No offense meant to you, Luna. Just two my two dunderheads."

Luna smiles prettily, "None taken. And Lady Magic says it has to do with how you're the Twin of Dark."

Lyka sighs again and pinches the bridge of her nose. "It always comes back to that damn prophecy. Couldn't that have just died when we did?"

Luna blinks slowly and says matter of factly, "No."

Lyka lets out a grunt of annoyance before glancing around their group and ushering them into a nearby classroom. After confirming that the classroom is empty, Lyka uses her voice magic and casts a silencing ward around them. "As for the questions, we three know how we got here. We died and were given a second chance. But last I checked, Luna was still quite alive at the time of our deaths." She looks pointedly towards Luna. "So how exactly did the extraordinary Luna Lovegood get to be in 1971?"

Harry blinks owlishly as his brain catches up with Lyka's train of thought, "You know...that's actually a fair point. Why didn't I think of that sooner?" He groans and sinks into a nearby chair.

Draco looks towards Harry, "Because Harry, you're the brawny twin. You weren't born for your brains. Bloody hells! Half of the administration only expected you to excel at defense magic and quidditch!"

Harry glares at Draco, "Thanks Dray, you really know how to make a guy feel good." Draco smiles proudly at Harry before turning his attention towards Luna.

"Please Luna. Do tell us your tale of how you came to be here." Draco says with an ostentatious flare.

Luna giggles at Draco's antics, "Well it's really quite simple." Luna pauses for a moment as they all stare intently at her. "Lady Magic told me that you would need an extra bit of assistance."

Lyka blinks repeatedly, "You're telling us. That the divine being of magic decided that we would need help. So She sent you back in time?"

Luna smiles dreamily and looks towards the solitary window as raindrops begin to hit the pane. "Well me and another. But we won't see them for a little while yet."

Everyone stares at Luna like she just grew another head. Harry opens his mouth first, "Another? You mean someone else came back in time as well?" When Luna nods Harry opens and closes his mouth repeatedly. "But who is it?"

Luna turns her attention back to the rain, "You'll see soon enough. Perhaps even at breakfast tomorrow."

Silence reigns for a few minutes before Luna practically floats out of the room. Harry follows shortly with a small wave to Lyka and Draco. The two Slytherins stay quiet sitting in their respective places before Lyka walks over to the window that Luna was looking at. Looking over what she could see of the grounds through the autumn storm, Lyka notices three glowing orange globes attempting to make it across the grounds and to the castle.

"Perhaps we will indeed find out at breakfast." She turns away from the window and grabs a confused Draco's hand to drag him back to their common room for the night.

Author's note: Shorter update today! This part was originally going to be longer but the next scene just felt too jarring when paired with this. So they've been separated into different chapters.
