Draco's Summer
The muggle was and interesting place one in which Lucius Malfoy hated to find himself however he always made a point of going there once a year so that he could see how this poor people where advancing without the gift of witch craft. This year he made a visit to a government office in London. It was there that he saw an ad for "study abroad for the summer and represent England in America." At first this seemed like a rather funny idea really who would want to leave London to go to America of all places really and to study.
Then however a brilliant idea occurred to him. This summer Lucius wanted some time away for his rather bratty son for he had things to do and did not want him in the way. Not to mention the poor boy had been spilling family secrets all over Hogwarts during the school year and this would prove the be the perfect punishment for his cocky son.
After picking up an application he quickly waved his wand at it and it was filled out in seconds. He then hand the application to the plump women behind the desk. She proceeds to read it over and then turned to Lucius.
And in a perky voice the lady behind the desk responded "It seems your son Draco will make a perfect addition to this years exchange students. All you must do is have him at the London airport an hour before the flight for America leaves which should be a week from now at around 7pm."
Lucius responded in a rather condescending tone "Not a problem I will have him there as you request is there anything else I must know before my son leaves."
"No there is nothing else I can think right now Mr. Mafloy just have your son ready and at the airport he will met his host family once he gets there. Usually we would tell you something about them before he leaves however you are applying rather late so there will not be time to get this info to you. But you need not worry all of our host families are wonderful."
"Thank so much for your help mama I will have my son there on time." Said Lucius with a knowing grin.
He know full well that his son was going to hate this but the boy need some punishment and really he could have done worse to the poor boy. Hell he could have made him spend the summer Harry however they would most likely kill each other and he still wanted a son after the summer he just need a little punishment. Not like the man would have taken his son but for enough money maybe. Oh well! He had a place now to go away from him.
Best of all he would be able to tell his son tonight as he was coming home from Hogwarts later this afternoon. Lucius had always planned his trips to the muggle world as such so that he could hit to birds with one stone. For he never sent his son off to school that was the servants job but picking him up he could manage.
Later that Day
In the train station
Draco in his normal tone "Hello father it is good to see you again. I'm so happy to be away from that fool Dumbdor for the summer. As well as that Harry Potter and his stupid friends. So what is the plan for this summer going to the mountains to see dragons or to the coast to the beach club?"
Lucius "Not this year my boy I have something different in mind for you this summer. I will tell you at dinner tonight. We are going to eat out in Diagon Alley."
"Well then lets leave this place and get to it I'm starving after the long train ride"
At dinner
Malfoy in a rather happy voice "So father what is the plan?"
Lucius in a rather dark voice "Draco I have decided since you have been spilling family secrets all over Hogwarts this year that you deserve to be punished."
Malfoy in a rather skeptical voice "What ... Punished... Why on earth would you do that I'm only standing up for our family."
Lucius in normal evil tone "Regardless I don't approve of you doing so, there by, you are to be punished. So this summer you will join a group of muggle children as an exchange student to America for the summer."
Malfoy at this spit out his food all over his father making him rather up set.
"Look what you have done to my robes to stupid boy"
With a flick of his wand his robes looked as good as new regardless he was rather pissed off at the boy how dare he react in such away to his choice he could have done worse really the rudeness of it all.
Malfoy short of breath "What... America…. Muggle world… Are you insane?"
In a mad voice "How dare you question my diction you will go weather you like it or not is that understood?"
In a sad voice "yes"
Lucius a little calmer "Very well then you will leave in 2 weeks and be there for 2 months. I suggest you get packing."
Draco's room later that night
His father must have flipped. Sending him to America how could he even think it? Oh well! Nothing was to be done of it now.
With a flick of his wand his bags where packed. Knowing he would get in trouble for this but what did it really matter? One little bad report big deal, Harry had like what 20. Now he just had to wait and enjoy these last days at home. He just knew that Harry and his little friends would find this to be just hilarious. Draco had hardly ever been in the muggle world. He had now clue how things worked out there. And as unwilling as he was to admit it he was scared becuase his father had ordered he leave all magic stuff at home. So now if he got in trouble he would not have any magic to help him.
Airport
As Draco sat at in the airport seating area just before his gate number which ironically was Gate 13. He could not help but look around at all the silly muggles he would be traveling with. Most of them where half in tears saying good bye to their parents, where as he could care less. Well except for the fact that he would miss the magic world. For it was not like him and his father had the most loving relationship, in fact Draco was quite sure that is father had no heart at all really, the same as him.
One thing Draco was great full for was the fact that he had decided to study up on the muggle world a little before going into it. This made him a little less afraid of what as to come well he was away from home. Although even as he sat in the airport he saw that there where many things he did not understand. Like the little note pads most very one had in their hand and would keep point at things on them (palm pilots). At last the lady who was to bring them to the US told them to board.
"All students going to New Orleans, we will be leaving in five minutes, the crew has giving us leave to get on last so please hurry and say good bye to your families"
At this Draco stood up and walked over the gate. He looked back over at his father and gave a smirk which his father returned then got up and walked away. Draco could hear his cane hitting the ground as he walked along the tiled floor. Then he handed is ticket to the person at the gate and got on board. Draco had decided early that it would be best to fallow one of the other students. So he wait for some one else to give the gate person their ticket and then fallowed him down the dark tunnel that lead to what Draco only figured would be the plane that they had seen from the window in the airport.
Once on board the plane Draco was shocked the people where packed in like animals. He looked towards the front and saw that they had much more room. So he decided to head up there. After placing himself at a seat by the window, then a lady dressed in a very nice blue uniform came up to him.
"Excuse me sir but my I see your ticket."
Draco then handed her the ticket she looked at it and then started to frown.
"Sir I'm going to have to ask you to movie this is not your seat."
"What! You mean I can't just sit anywhere I want"
At this she gave him an 'are you dumb' look. Then took his hand and started leading him to the pack of the plane.
"Sir this is your seat." Point at the ticket with her long pink nail she said. "See look at the row number then the seat letter on the ticket"
"Yeah what ever" Draco said looking a little embarresed and pissed of at the same time.
He then hear some soft laughter coming from a seat next to his. Turning he saw that there was a dumb looking blond sitting next to him with her hand covering her muffled laughter.
"What the fuck is your problem." Draco said in a very cruel voice.
"first time flying" the girl said regaining her composuer.
"Yeah! So what is it to you."
"Nothing, it just you made quite a scene there it was rather funny. So what is your name? Mine is Lindsey"
"My name is Draco Melfoy" Draco said hotly
"Well nice to meet you." She said half laughing. Well extending her hand.
"What do you find so funny." Draco said in an angry voice.
"Your name it is just really weird if you ask me."
"Well I did not so keep your mouth shut you stupid muggle."
"Fine what e…" but before she could finish she suddenly lost her turned in to a little black fly. That then took off out of the plane.
Draco knew he would get in trouble for this for sure if not kicked out of Hogwarts but how dare that girl insult his name. Besides she would return to normal in like a week or so. It as not like the spell would last very long being that he had done it with out a wand. Truth be told he actually had not expected it to happen it was just the girl was bothering him so much.
After all the students where on the plane the escort began to call names. When she got to Lindsey, Draco told her that she had gotten suddenly sick and had left the plane saying she would not be coming along. The stupid muggle believe it. So what that it was off to New Orleans in America for Draco.
