Hi! This story is about if Hogwarts had to actually close (finally) for 1 year and ALL of the students had to go to a Muggle school for that whole year. Enjoy! I will be needing lots of OC's so feel free to review or pm them (don't forget to describe them, their normal outfit, and put what house they are in!)!
"Attention all Hufflepuff's!" Prof. Sprout said "We have to meet in the Great Hall."
Everyone went silent, I was wondering what could have happened.. but I knew we probably would be safe after all we always are, except that basilisk. No one decided to talk and we just followed Prof. Sprout to the Great Hall, we walked over to the staircase and started walking up it. When we got to the top we walked into the Great Hall, we were the first there. Soon after us Gryffindor, followed by Ravenclaw and finally Slytherin filed into the hall. We sat with little conversation, worry painted on our faces.
My friend Kaydence nudged my shoulder. "Oh Merlin, I hope this isn't serious."
"Same," I reply.
Finally, Dumbledore stood and called for attention. "I regret to inform you that Hogwarts has to close for the remainder of the school year," he started.
He was interrupted by nearly everyone gasping and saying: "What?"
"The Ministry, and Professor Umbridge has declared that the school is unsafe, and the plumbing must be reconstructed due to the basilisk three years ago. You will all be transferred to a muggle school that was lacking students for the rest of the year."
At that, the entire school, especially the purebloods, freaked out. I looked over to Gryffindor table and saw Harry Potter and Ron Weasley trying to calm down a hyperventilating Hermione Granger. She must really love the wizarding world.
Although I'm a pureblood, I was one of the few keeping their sanity. The half-bloods were half freaking out, and the muggle borns looked utterly confused at the panic. Kaydence was one of those confused.
"Can't they just fix the plumbing?" I asked her quietly.
"I think that's why the muggle borns are confused," she responded. "It should just be a simple plumbing job, right?"
"SILENCE!" Dumbledore yelled. "You are going to Angelwood Middle and High School in Angelwood, Maine, which is in America-" He was cut off from everyone yelling "WHAT!?" once again, followed by more nervous chatter.
"SILENCE! You will all be staying with host families. Now go back to your dorms and pack your belongings."
We all just about ran back to our dorms, yelling the entire time. The fact of going to America freaked everyone out, even those who weren't freaking out about going to a muggle school.
"I wonder if the host families will be wizards, too," a first year said.
"Probably not," a seventh year responded. "I don't think there are wizards in America."
When we got back to the common room, Prof. Sprout announced that there will be two people per host family. It will be two people from different houses, but same year. I was pretty excited to go to America, the only bad thing is everyone will be able to tell we are British because of our accents. So basically every guy is gonna get hit on by a girl.
We practically were packing everything we had, including wands even though no one could use them but me. I'm only allowed to use mine outside of Hogwarts because my family is very close to the Ministry, so I have special permission.
"Won't the students at the school be suspicious?" Kaydence asked
"Probably," I answered. "But Dumbledore probably thought of that."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" We hear a Slytherin screaming from the dungeons, It was so loud, we all had to cover our ears. And I'm fairly certain Ravenclaws and Gryffindors could also hear it, though much quieter. After the scream ended, we all started cracking up for no reason. It's a Hufflepuff thing. Don't ask.
Sooo, don't ask what that scream is about I ended the chapter there for a reason. Also big props to DippeySause for proof reading it and giving me input. :D BTW, here is Faith's description:
Red, braided sits on her shoulder showing her charming face. Narrow aquamarine eyes,set elegantly within their sockets.
The is the face of Faith Evatt.
There's something misleading about her, perhaps it's her friends, perhaps it's simply her attitude. But nonetheless, she tends to shower people with gifts and hugs, while helping people out in any way she can.
On a casual day she wears: fuzzy boots, rainbow ankle socks, black leggings, a sweater dress, a pastel beanie, and a rose gold locket.
