BIG NOTE: okay this may seem really mess up or I guess it would be, but you just have to take note of few things and I guess you can follow it up.
this is AU but would take a big chunk of infos from the books.
This would be a clash of non-magic and magic, let's just say that Draco is a non-wizard here together with some minor characters from the book while Harry would still be a wizard.
I am not really going to go on angst regarding Voldemort, Harry defeated him during their 5th year, see AU enough? Hehe…
I am not British so I am not sure of their educational system, I would be doing a research but a little help from you would be very much welcomed. You could rant on my mistakes about the bloody wrong expressions/slangs, absolutely hideous names, unacceptable situations but you have to give your suggestions too and I would be forever grateful with you guys.
If there's something you don't get then feel free to ask me, I would always be happy to respond just please NO FLAMES though.
Chapter I
"Hogwarts, our beloved and magnificent school, is currently undergoing a reconstruction due to the damage that it took during the war. The school had taken quite damage that had it been other buildings, it would all be ruins now, but Hogwarts stood its ground in bravado and fought alongside our war heroes. As a former student of Hogwarts myself, I can't help but feel some sadness in me seeing them replacing the old walls with new ones-"
Shuffle.
"The new Minister of Magic had announced their confidence on capturing nearly all the members of Death-eater. "We are going to capture them all, no matter how they hide their trails.", was the Minister's short word when asked-"
Shuffle.
"The wizarding society, though still shaken from the recent war, could be seen milling around in a more relax and care free attitude as compared to-"
Shuffle.
"Our war-hero and saviour, Mr. Harry Potter, despite looking weary and tired had actually looked excited when asked about his comment on the new program for the incoming 6th year at Hogwarts--" Their was a loud protesting groan while his two friends chuckled at him.
"I wasn't excited about that news! It just happened that I saw Sirius and I might have looked excited as we haven't really seen each other much! That bloody reporter just got to go and interpret it as me being excited to go on a muggle High School." Harry replied shuffling through the magical radio that he was fiddling a while ago.
"Well, you can't blame the wizarding society for being accepting of this new program then since the Oh-So-Great-Wizarding-Saviour Harry Potter had nodded and showed his happiness towards it!" Ron said with a flourish only to receive a pillow on his face making him scrunch his freckled face.
Hermione just shook her head before continuing on her perusal of the old books they found in the library in Grimauld, but did lift her head when she remembered their situation for their 6th year.
"Well, I actually think that it's quite a bold step but it might be a good one so as to make those high and mighty purebloods see that muggles aren't as helpless and weak as they think." She went on her rant but then a thought struck her causing quite a devious glint on her eyes, "Ooh I suddenly can't wait for the semester to begin." She smirked and almost crowed making both Harry and Ron look at her hesitantly.
"Uh, 'Mione, I think you're forgetting one high and mighty pure-blood here!" Harry suddenly piped earning a punch on his shoulder from Ron.
Hermione smiled and turned to her books, "Harry will be there to help you Ron."
"Right, thanks for the big support there Hermione, I feel great relief hearing that." Ron mumbled with a petulant pout on his face making him look rather funny.
The three of them are spending a week in Grimauld place or rather Ron and Hermione decided to join their best mate Harry in Grimauld Place while Sirius is out in muggle world trying to find a good flat for them both to live when Harry truly starts on a muggle high school.
"Worry not Ron; just show them that Gryffindor courage of yours and you'll be fine!"
"Said the ever courageous bloke who turned tail when a girl tried to snog him." Ron's cheeky grin was infectious that Harry just laughed.
"Oh you poor sod! You know that if only Cho had the right equipment-"
"Okay, fine, I get it." Ron was dramatically waving a hand before cradling his head and curled as if he just had the most traumatic experience in his life.
Harry was laughing that he had tears on his eyes while Ron continued on his whimpering acts, even Hermione resignedly put the big tome down and joined her two best mate.
She knew that the experience of the war would always be a bitter scar that they all would carry but it wouldn't serve as a hindrance for their happiness, especially Harry who had suffered enough, and she knew many people would make sure that the smiles and laughs from the emerald-eye boy would always be from true happiness.
-------------------------------
The great Headmaster of Hogwarts heaved a sigh as his gaze settled at the enchanting lake near the school. He had been contemplating the recent decision he made, he knew that deep down, the true reason for him suddenly suggesting that the in-coming 6th years are to be enrolled in a well-established muggle school is not only to further the understanding of wizards regarding the muggles.
The 6th year students are to be sent to well-known private high schools and be enrolled on said muggle school, after spending a year there, they are to make a choice whether they would want to finish their studies on the Muggle School or go back to Hogwarts to finish their 7th years and their NEWTS as well. The only setback for staying another year in the muggle school is they would be delayed a year to take their NEWTS too.
They are to be distributed in four private schools in Scotland and England, the number of currently enrolled (and alive) 6th year students is 20. They would be shuffled and would be sent to either one of the four private schools that the Ministry of Magic has a contact to.
Dumbledore chuckled softly to himself at the same time tilting his head in acknowledgement at the presence on his side.
"What seemed to be funny with the lake Headmaster?" Minerva lifted a brow in question, despite him being quite barmy sometimes; she had a deep respect to the wizened old man.
"Just some thoughts filtering through this barmy old man's mind." He answered turning a teasing wink at Professor Minerva who just coughed at her hand.
"Are you really serious about this muggle school Albus? It seemed like quite a very unwise decision to make besides it's only a few months ago that the war stopped."
"It would be quite like informal therapy for them, they are going to attend school on a relax surrounding. These kids had seen enough of the war that they can be spared from all these tenseness at least." Dumbledore said softly. "Besides, if it would be successful then we would be following the same pattern again next year and the next."
'So you say but all I can see is a petulant old man trying to protect his precious grandchild.' Minerva thought dryly but thinking maybe she too would do just the same if only so that she can protect his happiness.
"He did suffer enough, besides I think he is quite tired of me seeming to always watch over him." He said with a quirk of his lips.
Minerva just snorted in un-lady like fashion. "Some old fools meddling around aren't we?" She replied lightly pulling another chuckle from the headmaster.
"The power of boredom can do that to some." A drawl came from their backs.
"Ah Severus, you packed for the summer?" When the potion-master nodded he continued, "Well then, I guess I will be seeing you this next semester, you would be having lesser loads now that you don't have to worry about the 6th years for it is imperative for them to enrol to the schools assigned to them."
Severus Snape only gave a wry smirk, "At least I don't have to deal with Longbottom and Potter's utter idiocy."
"Now, now, Severus, be nice." The headmaster admonished lightly while Minerva sniffed but refrained from giving her retort.
Severus Snape then nodded curtly at them before taking his leave with flourish only he can manage. After a while, Minerva followed, going inside the castle where it's not ruined leaving Dumbledore again on his thought.
The wrinkles on the headmaster's head had become more apparent when he took another long sigh before lifting his left hand hidden on his long robe; almost half of his fingers had darkened already.
He knew that he had been a great contribution to Harry's suffering; he would even go and admit that he had used Harry's prophecy and pushed his own principles to the young boy but if asked, he would do just the same. He greatly care about Harry that if it's possible, he would carry the burden of the boy's prophecy but alas, he wasn't powerful enough to go against fate.
Dumbledore suddenly smiled wryly to himself, all this wistful thinking only shows how long he had lived his life.
-----------------------
End of July and the twenty 6th year students gathered at Hogwarts before going to a muggle meeting place for their crash course on all important and basic muggles such as their money, appliances, etc.
