Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

Back to School

Dumbledore stood up in front of the whole school, calling for attention by tapping his spoon against his golden goblet.

"May I have your attention please?"

The students stopped talking.

"I am going to send groups of students into the Muggle world. It is time that we learn to form bonds with other humans, besides sheltering ourselves in our own world. The first group to go out into the Muggle world will include fifth and sixth years."

"The groups are as follows," continued Professor McGonagall, "Crabbe, Parkinson, Patil Padma, Goldstein, Longbottom, Lovegood."

Neville groaned and buried his head in his hands. Luna looked unperturbed, as usual.

Professor McGonagall called out more names: "The next group, Boot, Bones, Abbot, Corner, Robbins, Finch-Fletchley."

Hannah Abbot smiled; she'd always had a soft spot for Justin Finch-Fletchley. Justin grinned at her. A budding relationship was evident.

"Finally, the last group to enter the Muggle world for the next ten weeks is Weasley, Weasley, Weasley, and…Weasley…All the Weasleys…Potter (Ginny blushed to herself), Granger (Ron grinned to himself; Hermione blushed), Malfoy, and Zabini."

Malfoy threw his spoon down; Harry pounded the table. But nothing was quite so amazing as Blaise Zabini's fall to the floor, screaming, "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
