Liz POV:

Once upon a time... in a land far far away... oh screw it! I'm more of a romance kind of girl but alpparently the universe doesn't know that... or it's plotting against me. Either that or I drank WAY too much cactus juice! (Sorry! Avatar moment!)

Last night was fun. Just me and Ari stayin up late watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix. I think we probably passd out by the time the Weasley twins set the dragon on Umbridge. When I woke up I didn't hear the calm quiet of my room. Instead, I heard the sound of loud footsteps and people talking loudly. That's when I slammed my eyes open.

First thing I saw was Ari's face. Her long red hair, flowing into her face and her skinny body was pressed against the back of what I guessed was a couch. She was in a light blue tank top and navy blue shorty shorts. She appeared to be snorring... rather loudly too. Then I saw little Nessie curled in between our bodies. Nessie is my 7 week old kitten. I then turned to take a look at the not-so-familiar room around me.

When I looked up, I noticed someone was staring down at me. She was light skinned and had long wavy bleach blonde hair. Her blue-grey eyes were open in shock. She seemed to realize that I was looking at her and she blinked twice. I blinked back. What can I say? It was a completely natural reaction.

"Oh! So you're up then? I had figured you hadn't gotten much sleep last night. There are many Nargles in the girls dorm." she said gently.

"Oh. Um. Well. It wasn't really the Nargles that kept me up. Oh. And by the way, what's your name?" I said before turning to look around the room.

The very first thing I noticed were the walls. They were very dark, but so am I. I'm not the one who is full of sunshine and rainbows... that's Ari's job. I'm more of the girl who's filled to brim with dusk... when light and darkness meet. But back to the walls. They were divided into two sections. The top half was almost a midnight black, the bottom a very deep purple and both only divided by a single white line. Like I said... my kind of room.

"I'm Luna Lovegood." I heard the girl speak.

I whipped my head around quickly.

I started thinking to myself.

"Luna Lovegood? As in the Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter? HOLY SHIT! When did fictional characters become real?!?!"

Then this all started to make sense. Luna was sorted into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts. Ravenclaw colors were black and purple. I was in the Ravenclaw common room!!! I officially had the right to freak out... so I did.

"OH MY GOD!" I screamed. Unfortunately it was right into Ari's ear.

Her eyes snapped open and then I realized that her reaction to where we were would probably be a hell of alot worse than mine. Thankfully Ari was always a bit groggy in the morning, so it took her a second to realize where she was and the fact that I had just screamed bloody murder. Thank god I wasn't being killed... because if I was, I would be dead if it was just Ari around. Nessie on the other hand was now wide awake and scratching the hell out of Ari trying to get away from me... who probably sounded like a freaking banschi.

Ari's eyes eventually popped open after about 5 seconds... and yes I actually counted just to see how long it would take her if this was actually a life or death situation. During that time, I just sat there shocked, not believeing any of this was actually happening.

"What's going on? And why the hell are you screaming like a high pitched squeally Draco Malfoy?" Ari asked obviously confused. I took a deep breath and decided telling her the truth was the only thing I could do.

"Um. We're in the Ravenclaw common room and Luna Lovegood is staring at us like WE are the crazy ones."

Saying that made Ari sit up pretty damn quick.

"WE'RE WHAT!?!?" she semi screamed back. I just looked at her.

"It's what I said. We are in the Ravenclaw common room and I don't know how the hell we got here." I replied calmly

At this point Ari started hyper venelating. I actually thought I would be too by now.

"Oh My God! Oh My God! OH MY GOD!!!!" the last part was a scream that could shatter a window. I had to cover my ears.

"What's wrong?" Luna asked obliviously. Unfortunately when I'm nervous I talk to much.

"WHAT'S WRONG IS YOUR A FICTIONAL CHARACTER! NONE OF THIS IS REAL! I'M APPARENTLY HIGH OFF CACTUS JUICE OR SOMETHING! NOT TO MENTION I'M NOW PARTIALLY DEAF CUZ OF ARI! I HOPE ME AND ARI ARE HAVING THE SAME DELUSION BECAUSE I THINK SHE IS SEEING THE SAME THING I AM!"

"Oh." was all she said before she skipped off.

She just skipped off! What the hell was wrong with her?!?! I looked at Ari and was hoping she saw all of this too.

"Ari? You see this too right?" I asked hoping for the answer I wanted to hear.

"Yes Lizzy. I see this. Oh. and how the hell do we get out of here?!?"

I didn't know how to answer that. I didn't even know how the hell we got there.

"Ari, I seriously have no clue how we got here so I don't know how to get out of here!"

Her face fell slightly. There were too many thoughts going through my mind right now for me to even care. I somehow knew we wern't getting out of here any time soon.

As I looked around the room once again, I knew that we couldn't just sit here. We had to get up and at least act like students. Well at least I knew one person... who just happend to be a complete nut case who believed in some mythical creature called Nargles. OK. So I didn't have any friends here yet. Ari and myself are on out own from here on out.

"Ari! We have to get out of h ere. We can't just sit here all day." I told her. She just looked at me with curious eyes.

"So you're saying we actually have to....." she took a breath and continued. "go to school here?"

I just nodded in response. I got up and took Ari's hand in mine, pulled her up with me, and pulled her out into the hall. When we got into the hall we saw the most gorgeous sight ever. All we noticed were the three boys with flaming red hair.
