Unfortunately, no one guessed correctly last time for who the next tape was. But, that's okay. I didn't expect anyone to. I made it a really hard one.

If I was J.K. Rowling, Harry and Luna would've gotten together.

Enjoy!

"Thus taking us to our next location on the map: the Ravenclaw common room.

"Several people on this list aren't allowed to go into Ravenclaw's common room, so your own common room is fine."

"Should we go?" Harry asked.

"You go." Ron said. "Take the headphones, and then come back when the tape is done. I've heard this a number of times, I don't need to hear it again."

Taking the tape out of the recorder, Harry grabbed the headphones and the portable tape player and made his way to the common room. So many people tried to catch his eye, but he couldn't look at them. Hermione, Collin Creevey...

And Ginny.

What had Ginny done? She'd been one of Luna's best friends. Maybe it had been a friend of Ginny's, and Ginny had simply been delivering them for her?

Sitting down on the couch in front of the fire, Harry popped the tape back in, put on the headphones, plugged them in to the recorder, and pressed play.

"You know one of those people that has everyone under their influence? Like, they could shave their head, and soon everyone would be bald as an egg?

"Well, this is about that girl's best friend, who ended up affecting me more than she did.

"Marietta Edgecombe, it's your turn."

"I could talk about the hell you put me through for years, Marietta. I could speak of how you came up with my nickname, "Loony Lovegood," and how you and Cho Chand delighted in laughing at me when I danced in the rain or wore my lion hat to support Har-Gryffindor. To support Gryffindor."

What had she meant to say? Harry thought.

"Marietta, sweetie, I know you didn't mean to affect me personally. But every single person on these tapes didn't have an idea that they were making such an affect on my life. So, here's my reason.

"The D.A., or Dumbledore's Army, was the best thing that ever happened to me, simply put. I could defend myself, and I made friends in the process. Who would have known? I suddenly had some of the best friends that I'd had in years. They got to know me, and they came to understand my unusual ways. For once, I was Luna Lovegood. Not Loony Lovegood, not -oh-don't-listen-to-her-she-is-a-loon. I was smart, funny, and charismatic Luna Lovegood-and I loved it.

"But that all stopped when Marietta ratted the D.A. out.

"Umbridge had been on our tails ever since we had started the club. She and her Inquisitorial Squad kept following us, questioning us, and emptying our bags. Had no one blabbed, we all would have been fine.

"But, no, Marietta. You had to turn us in. You had to destroy the one thing that made me happy that year. I understand that you were not targeting me personally, but you get double my anger, because not only did you do this to me, you did this to the entire D.A.

"So, while I realize this was a short tape, I felt the need to call you out for taking away the one thing that I have desired my entire life: friends.

"So, thank you, Marietta. Thank you for stealing my friends away and making me miserable."

The tape stopped. Harry sighed.

"Only a few more to go, mate." Ron said, giving him an awkward pat on the shoulder. He took out the next tape. This one had a picture of a crudely drawn Quidditch broom that was painted with Ravenclaw colors. Grimly, Ron took Marietta's tape out of the recorder, slipped the new one in, and pressed play.

Ooooooh!

This new one is also kind of hard. I'm sorry, it's just that THE NEXT PERSON HAS NO PERSONALITY WHATSOEVER. Whoops! Forgot to turn of capslock!

I'll give you a hint: the next person is a boy. That's literally the only hint I'm giving you.

Review! Oh, by the way, Happy Belated Halloween!
