Chapter 1 the unexpected partnership

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story or J.K. Rowling's story just the plot for every chapter.

It is the 2nd semester at Hogwarts and everyone is excited too because Dumbledore said that they were going to do something different this year. When everyone had gotten into the castle Hagrid told everyone to head down to the great hall where Dumbledore will be giving everyone special instructions.

"hello and welcome back for the next semester.." Dumbledore said as he looked around, everyone was sitting at their tables talking to their friends. And he really hated the idea that he was going to speak. "please be silence as I say this…now I would like every girl to sit at the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor tables and all the boys sit at the Ravenclaw and Slytherin table." everyone just sat quiet for a minute and then started moving. Harry, Ron, and Hermione felt something suspicious was going on because this was the first time they had to do this.

When they all got to their other tables Hermione didn't mind sitting with the other girls. But Harry and Ron were mad because they had to sit near Malfoy. Dumbledore looked around to make sure everyone was seated. "now since we're in order now we could do this. Now students please close your eyes." all of the did what they were told. "now open them." said Dumbledore. Everyone had open their eyes to see a piece of folded envelope in front of them.

"now then." Dumbledore started in his continuation. " the piece of parchment in front of the boys all the girls names on them. And all the girls have a location. Now if all the girls would look around their neck is a choker and on your ears are your favorite color emerald. That has the power for you to speak and hear a different language and -." he stop and looked at Hermione that was raising her hand. "professor what does this have to do what we're doing at Hogwarts?" she asked. In response Dumbledore said "who said that you'll be in Hogwarts for this semester." Hermione was confused "uh…but" she said lost in her thoughts. "now will all of you open your envelope. And when you open it I don't want to hear the slightest complaint from anyone or sound from the boys especially. Also boys don't tell which one you have." he said in a joking way.

When all the girls open their envelope all of them screamed in excitement. In Hermione's envelope she found a letter which all of them contained but says different things. She read the letter to herself which had read.

Dear Hermione,

You and your partner in this activity will be going to a different country and study the way that they lived. You are chosen to go to New York City for this 2nd semester. Also the chain and earring in this envelope also contains the same ability as yours. At 12:30 you and your partner will meet at the 3rd pillar in the hallway to the far left of the hallway outside the great hall. But the important thing is to open up the little envelope inside. This contains a little wallet that contains as much money you want inside.

Hermione was so surprise in the matter that she was going to N.Y.C.. That reminded her that she order some of their street and party clothing on the internet. I might dye my hair black to fit in with the crowd. she said to herself.

Later on or the rest of her half an hour she stopped by Harry and Ron in the common room to talk for a while before she went to the meeting point. It seems tat they were talking about what had gotten into the headmaster for doing this. But they all seem to be fine with it as long they get another vacation. Later she went to the meeting point like everyone else did for the last minutes in Hogwarts. When she got to the meeting point she saw someone standing behind the pillar. It was her partner. She hoped he would be a nice guy at least. She started to run to him, but when he came out of the shadows she couldn't believe her eyes. "Malfoy!?" she said confused. "Granger." he said in a medieval voice.
