Here is Chapter 5, hope you enjoy it. The chapters should be getting longer, don't forget to review.


"Are you done then?" Harry asked as Peter came out of his room.

"Yeah, I think so."

"Right we want to have a chat about that incident, but we need to do it somewhere more private. We need to get to the seventh floor."

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Peter all left the common room and headed up the numerous flights of stairs. Peter looked around in wonder at the moving stair cases and then large collection of moving portraits. Although he had seen some of this before, he hadn't had the chance to stop and have a look round. The world he had stumbled upon was proving to be a wondrous place to be. All he had to do now was explain to these... well these kids, what he was doing there. He hadn't thought it would come to this.

They soon came to the seventh floor and were standing in front of a blank wall with a large tapestry behind them. Harry started to walk in front of the wall, doing this three times. As he came to the end of the third pass, a door started to etch in the wall, slowly forming and eventually becoming solid wood.

"In we go then," Harry said.

With that they all headed through the door and into the Room of Requirement. As he entered, Peter looked around in awe at what he saw. The room was panelled in the finest deep stained oak, two large glass chandeliers provided a dim glow of light across the room, which spread a gentle tone throughout. There was a luscious red carpet adorning the floor and a fireplace set in the wall opposite the door with a fire already roaring in it. Portraits sat on the wall majestically looking over all who were in the room. And in front of the fire were four large arm chairs, covered in the finest green leather and studded with little hogwarts crests.

Harry directed them all round to the chairs and they all sat down in one. Ron on the left, Hermione next to him, Peter next to Hermione and then Harry on the right.

"So, I think we need to know exactly who you are and what are you doing here," Harry demanded.

"Well it begins last year when I received a strange note from an old friend. He had come to this country to investigate some unusual things that he had heard about for the newspaper we both work at. The note contained a set of frequencies and other scientific notation, I had no idea where to start to decode it. Luckily I had a contact with an organisation called the X-Men and they were able to help me."

"What about the costume we just saw you wearing though?" Hermione asked.

"I'm coming to that," Peter replied. "The X-Men were able to help me because I did not approach them as you see me now. The costume I was wearing earlier allows me to become the superhero Spiderman. Ever heard of me?"

"Wait a minute, I think I remember now," Hermione exclaimed. "Yes I remember seeing on the muggle news about a masked hero called Spiderman, you are a real hero."

"Thanks," Peter said, feeling good that his influence had spread to this country. "Anyway, once they had deciphered the codes, they built me a tracker so I could locate these odd frequencies and infiltrate the locations where they operated. With this I travelled over here and did just that. I had to learn quickly what had happened to my friend and what kind of people I was dealing with."

"So you discovered us through muggle technology?" Ron asked.

"I guess so, whatever muggle means," Peter replied.

"A muggle is anyone who isn't magical," Hermione helped.

"Dumbledore isn't going to like that," Ron said.

"Well anyway, I found a large concentration of the frequency around of King's Cross last week and thought I would investigate. This is where I discovered the location of the school and that brings me to my contact with Harry and your headmaster."

"I still want to know why it was so easy to find us. We should be totally hidden from the muggle world, their technology shouldn't work around magic," Hermione said.

"Well evidently they can find us and we need to hide ourselves better. We don't want them finding out about You Know Who do we?" Harry said.

"What can we do though?" Ron asked.

"I don't know, we'll have to think of something," Harry replied as he leaned forward in his chair, rubbing his face with his hand.

"Who is this You Know Who character?" Peter asked.

"Now that is a long story, I hope you are sitting comfortably." Harry said.
