"Oh my..." Luna exclaimed, staring up at the towering gates before her with wide eyes. Where was she? She didn't know why but being in a place that she didn't know, surronded by people she didn't get on with, made her feel quite uneasy. She glanced around at her fellow Ravenclaws and saw that although they seemed to have registered that they weren't in Hogwarts any more, they seemed content on just to continue spreading the latest 'juicy' gossip.
Luna began to turn around on the spot, ever so slowly, taking in the scenery around her and what she saw didn't cease to amaze her. They were standing on a narrow, rather dusty, old road, which was positioned in the centre of a large...desert? Luna wasn't sure. It seemed like a desert, it had all the similarities as a desert had, so therefore it must be. She stopped rotating and lowered her gaze to the sand. Stooping low, she grabbed a handful and let it in seep through her fingers. There was no doubt about it, it was sand.
Glancing back at the gates, it dawned on Luna that they must obviously lead to a city. Once more she was right. On either side of the gates, were stone walls that seemed to go on for miles. Both the walls and the gate had been made in a style that Luna suddenly recognised.
"We are in Ancient Greece!" Luna gasped in amazement.

Hera looked on from the clouds as more mortals appeared, "I'd better get to this." she said to herself. She 'apparated' behind a tree, in her mortal form. 'Zoe', as she called herself, walked over towards them casually. "Ancient?" She snorted with laughter. "Now just because we aren't up to date with Athens doesn't mean we're ancient.. Now where are you from, and what in the names of Zeus and Hera are you wearing?"

Luna stared in amazement at the girl, who was dressed in a toga and sandals.
"Erm...my name is Luna!" She introduced herself, no evidence of dreaminess in her tone. "We're--I mean, I, well, you see...we aren't supposed to be here."
Luna gestured to herself and the rest of the Ravenclaws, trying to get her message across to the girl, who looked about her age.

Hera smiled and waved. "I'm Zoe, what do you mean your not suppose to be here?" Hera looked confused.

"Well..." Luna faltered, as a weird feeling arose inside her. She couldn't put her finger on what it was, but it was the thing that was stopping her from telling this girl, Zoe, the truth. Maybe it was the fact that she didn't quite know how she'd got here herself, let alone with all her classmates, but something told Luna that the actual fact was that she didn't want Zoe to think she was mad.
That's strange, she thought, I never usually mind that any one thinks of me, hence the nickname 'Loony Lovegood' so why with this girl?
Luna suddenly realised that she must have been drifting off, for she glanced back up at the girl and gave her a weak smile, "You know what? Never mind...so, Zoe, do you live in this city?"

Hera smiled, and nodded. "My grandparents do, near town hall. I and my parents live in Athens. You know, you never told me how you got here."

"Didn't I?" Luna said nervously, wringing her hands and fake-smiling, "I'm sure I did, maybe you misheard, I...erm, am visiting...my cousins in...er, this city and...I come from...Athens? I mean, yes, I come from Athens!"
Up untill then, Luna had never realised what a bad liar she was...maybe because she'd never actually lied before. It wasn't that she was a goody goody, it was just that she told everything truthfully and how it really was.

[I'm totally catching you in your lie ;D]
"Athens?" She laughed and clapped her hands giddly. "What part? My father is the Chanoller of Athens, so I know everybody, and I've never seen you before."

"Athens?" Luna asked blankly, blinking in mock disbelief at Zoe, "No! Not Athens! You must have mis-heard...I said...Jarnes, have you ever been there? I've read all about it, apparently that is where the Crumpled Horn Shacks first orginated!"

Hera raised her eyebrows, "Jarnes? Now what city state is that in? I'm pretty sure there is now such thing. Wanna tell me where you're really from?" Hera hoped that the mortals would trust her, how many more are here? she wondered.

Athena made her way by the Gates. She was of course dressed as her mortal self, Elizabeth. Her long black hair was silk upon her shoulders and her clothing was the same as always. She saw Hera and smiled as she made her way over to her and a mortal who seemed to be yet another student.
"Hello Zoe."
She turned to the other girl mortal and smiled.
"Hello. What is your name?"

Luna's eyes darted from one girl to the other and back again. Something wasn't right and what ever it was she intended to find out...untill then, she was just going to keep her mouth shut.
"My name is L--" She began, before remembering the plan, "Lucy. My name is Lucy Clarke and who might you be?"

"Hey Elizabeth." Hera shook her head, "But you told me it was Luna. Why are you telling Elizabeth something different?"

"Damn it!" Luna practically shouted in desperation, "FINE! My name is Luna Lovegood and I can't tell you how I got here, because I don't know myself how I got here and besides there's the most important fact of all that I just don't trust you!!!"
