Hello! Welcome to the prologueof my first story. I have tons of prologues waiting to be uploaded, but I only want to continue with the ones my readers like. So here's to hoping you like this!

It is the year after the Second Great Wizarding War, and all Year 7 students are invited to come back to retake the year they missed. Almost everyone did return. All students that were there during the Year of Snape- as it had come to be called- were required to be held back a year to learn all the thing they missed under the inadequate teaching staff. The Ministry of Magic has passed a new Educational Decree, the first since Dolores Umbridge left. The degree is as follows:
"In an attempt to prevent any possible future wars from breaking out over blood status, all students year five and up will be required to participate in the elective Muggle Studies. After covering basic information, seventh year students will take a mandatory field trip into the muggle world where they will be split into pairs of two and each attend a muggle high school for two months. They will be expected to uphold the laws of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy and uphold good grades. When they return to Hogwarts they are to write an essay about what they have learned. The Ministry of Magic hereby appoints Ferri Goldlord as Muggle Studies professor"
This new law, in fact, is the reason why a very irritable Draco Malfoy was staring at his school schedule in shock. His first class was to be double Muggle Studies with the Gryffindors. Normally this would not have bothered the renownedly unflappable Draco Malfoy as he would be surrounded by his usual group of cronies. This year however, found him nearly alone at the Slytherin table. All Slytherin students were purebloods, and when the new Educational Decree had been released, many of his classmate's parents had immediately pulled their children from Hogwarts in favor of private tutors. This left Draco and his friend, Blaise Zabini, as the only two Slytherin seventh years left.
Draco hadn't quite wanted to be at Hogwarts this year either, but as his father was in Azkaban his mother was the one to make the decision. His mother had decided that Hogwarts was the best place for him. Draco had been horrified. He wanted absolutely nothing to do with this new 'Muggle Studies' class. He would have sooner gone to a wizarding school on Mars than be at Hogwarts this year, but his mother refused to take no for an answer.
And so Draco lugged his book bag onto his shoulder, grabbed a piece of toast for the walk, and set off with Blaise Zabini to find their new class.
And so there it is, if you want to keep reading and see how it goes, just follow the story! Yes, I know it's ridiculously short, but it is just the prologue after all. I'll be posting more within the week. Love you guys! ~ridikulous97
