"Well, do you have a wand on you?" The blond haired girl piped up in an airy voice. "My name's Luna by the way. Luna Lovegood." Will looked at her weirdly.

"I don't- think so?" He said, turning the statement into a question. He searched the pocket on his jerkin and found a rather plain stick inside, albeit polished. He held it up for Hermione and Ron to inspect.

"Is this it?" He asked. Hermione gasped.

"That's Harry's wand! It's been fixed!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"Blimey, you think you can do magic with it mate?" Ron asked him, practically bouncing up and down with excitement. Will shrugged and asked,

"How do I do it?" Hermione raised her wand.

"Here I'll show you a simple spell that was actually Harry's favorite." She twisted her wand in a half circle and yelled, "Expelliarmus!" And her wand, pointed at Ron, sent out a burst of red light which made Ron's wand go flying out of his hand only for Hermione to catch it. She then handed it back to Ron.

"It's a disarming spell." Neville explained. "That one gave me a lot of trouble. Before Harry started DA of course!" Will had no idea what DA was and instead looked down at the wand and raised it, pointing it at Ron as Hermione had.

"Expelliarmus!" He yelled while twisting the wand in a half circle, mimicking Hermione's movements. Will hadn't really expected anything to happen, but a jet of red light shot out and Ron's wand flew up into the air. As Will caught it he smiled at Hermione.

"This is amazing!" He exclaimed. Then he looked around. "But, could I use a bow? That's what I'm used to. A recurve bow if you can." Hermione nodded

"We can get you one, although I don't know how much damage it will do to the Death Eaters or Voldemort." With that she muttered a spell under her breath and did a complex wrist movement. A second later a bow appeared with a full quiver of twenty four arrows. "Anything else?" Hermione inquired.

"I don't know if this will work, but I used to have a saxe knife and a throwing knife in a double scabbard." Hermione nodded thoughtfully and did the same wrist movement. Again, his knives and their respective scabbard appeared." Will smiled widely and strapped the scabbard on his waist, strung his bow, and put on his quiver.

"Can we see you shoot-?" Ron hesitated and Will supplied the answer for him.

"Will. My name's Will" Ron looked at him curiously.

"What about your last name?" Will shifted uncomfortably and mumbled,

"I don't have one." It seemed Ron was going to ask more but Hermione silenced him with a glare, so Ron waved his wand around and a set of targets appeared on the far side of the room.

"Go on mate! Let's see it then!" Ron said impatiently. Will turned side on to the targets and nocked an arrow to the string. He sucked in a breath and in a smooth motion drew back the string, aimed, and released. Then in a matter of seconds he had another arrow nocked and before Ron could blink he had fired the second arrow. Ron and Neville were gaping at the target and Hermione looked very impressed.

"That was magnificent!" The girl, Luna, exclaimed.

"How long have you been doing archery?" Hermione inquired. Will shrugged and thought back.

"Almost two years now I'd say." Then Will changed the subject. "So, you guys were talking about some kind of war and you said it wasn't with Morgarath so..."

"We're fighting He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. He has an entire army of dark wizards and giants and other creatures," Ron shivered involuntarily, "including giant spiders." Ron explained

"But what's his name?" Will asked. Ron looked hesitant so Hermione continued his explanation.

"Nobody really said his name. Except for Dumbledore and Harry. His real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, but he changed it later to...Voldemort." The bushy haired girl hesitated before she spoke the name as if she was afraid. Will frowned for a second, trying to pronounce the odd name.

"Voldemort?" Neville nodded.

"Yep, that's him alright. Nasty bit of work he is too."

"So what's he got to do with Harry?" Will asked. "And how does this involve me?"

"I dont know if he'd want me telling you his accomplishments and such, so I'll just give you the main idea." Hermione said. "See, when Harry was 1 a prophecy was made about him and how he'd grow to defeat He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named . So He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named came to their house on Halloween and he murdered Harry's parents and tryed to kill Harry but he couldn't. That's why he's famous. Nobody survives the killing curse. And to top it off he defeated...Voldemort." Will drew breath probably to ask why they were fighting him if he was dead. Hermione held up a hand.

"I said defeated, not dead. Anyways, 3 years ago...Voldemort came back and tried to kill Harry again, only Harry escaped, alerting the wizarding world to his return. About a year and a half later in our 6th year at Hogwarts, the school we're in right now, Dumbledore told Harry the only way to kill Voldemort was to destroy the horcruxes he had made which contain pieces of his soul. At the end of the year Dumbledore was killed by Snape, that little-"

"Mione!" Ron interupped. Hermione waved him off.

"Sorry, as you can see we don't like him very much." Will nodded. He still didn't really understand. Although, in a very vague sense the school that everyone called Hogwarts (an extremely weird name if you asked him) reminded him of the vaulted ceiling in Baron Arald's private rooms. Although the decor in the place was vastly different. Hermione was still droning on with the story, but something had caught Will's eye.

"What's that?" He asked pointing. Hermione, Ron, Luna, and Neville followed his arm curiously.

"That?" Hermione asked frowning. She glanced back at him weirdly. "What do you mean? That's a radio? Have you never seen a radio?" Will shook his head.

"What's a radio?" All their mouths dropped open. The rest of the students in the room who had so far remained silent started whispering. One of them, a sandy haired boy who looked about a year older than Will spoke up.

"How is he supposed to help us with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named if he doesn't even know what a radio is!"

"Will... Where are you from?" Hermione asked cautiously. Will frowned at the odd question.

"Araluen. I already told you that." Hermione shook her head.

"No, I meant when are you from. What's the year." She added the last part slowly and he saw doubt in her eyes.

"648!" He exclaimed exasperatedly, "now, will you please tell me what a radio is!" Ron gasped loudly.

"Blimey! 648! Please tell me you mean 1948 or something!" Now it was Will's turn to feel doubt. He was getting really confused. 1948! That was ridiculous! That was more than a thousand years in the future!"

"What are you talking about! Of course I mean 648! What year is this?" Luna replied this time.

"It's 1998!" She said happily. "So do you have a time turner? I thought they were all destroyed after our little adventure in the ministry. Plus I never knew they could go forward in time! Or so far! Daddy would love to hear about this! It would make such a great article." Now Will was very confused. 1998? That wasn't good. He had to get back! Hopefully this Harry person would be able to keep Evanlyn safe. I mean he had defeated one of the darkest wizards, he should be able to deal with some Skandians.

"1998." Will mumbled. "How-how did I I come so far forward in time! I mean-this shouldn't even be real! How did you make those lights hanging from the ceiling! Those aren't candles! Are they more magic?" Hermione hesitated in answering. They were technically lamps, but she didn't want to confuse Will even farther. They had a job to do.

"Yes, those are magic." She glared at Ron, telling him to shut up. Everyone else seemed to have gotten the hint, and wisely didn't say anything. Will shook his head in wonder.

"So... How am I supposed to defeat this Mold More guy?" Will asked.

"Voldemort." Hermione corrected. "And- it's not smithing we can tell you here." Then she addressed the crowd of people, "I'm sorry everyone, but we aren't he to storm the castle. There's something we need, something related to Ravenclaw and when we get it we need to destroy it and get out. No objections! If you do I'll hex you into oblivion. I'm sorry, but we need total cooperation right now, or we're all dead anyway." Surprisingly everyone kept quiet.

"Thank you. Now we need someone to take us to the Ravenclaw Common Room." Luna raised her hand eagerly and Hermione nodded consent, gesturing her over.  Everyone else slowly drifted away, seeing that there wasn't anymore news. "Will, I need you and Luna to head to the Ravenclaw common room. Look for something that's related to Rowena Ravenclaw. Luna will help you out. If you find something, bring it back here immediately. Ron's had an idea so I'll be going with him." A smile worked it's way onto her serious face. "It's a brilliant idea. I don't know how I didn't think of it. Now go!" 

Will nodded and he slipped under the cloak Hermione had given him as instructed. Then Luna got under it too and they left the room of Requirement.
