Chapter 1 Announcement

It was the end of term of Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts. Every student went to the hall for the Start-of-term feast. To Harry's surprise, Professor Dumbledore made an announcement at the end of the feast.

"We're going to give students the opportunity to participate in an exchange programme. Fifteen sixth-year students will study in a muggle school until Christmas. Students interested can tell their head of house.

Instantly, the hall was full of murmurs. The sixth years, except Slytherins, were whispering to their friend excitedly.

"What do you think, Harry?" asked Ron.

"Well, I've never studied in a muggle secondary school and I never paid attention in my Primary school. I don't know what they learn. Surely they don't attend potions?" said Harry.

"Oh! That'd be great! I always wanted to learn about Biology before I came to Hogwarts!" exclaimed Hermione.

Neville joined in the conversation, "Gran'll be glad if I could go! She often tells me to know more about muggles and be friends with them. Do you think I could go?"

"Probably yes. You're a member of DA, and do you know what we've done against Umbridge? I don't think many of the teachers approves with her. Remember what Mcgonagall did when Umbridge left? Lent her crutches to Peeves and let it chase her out! Ha!" said Ron enthusiastically.

"Hey, look at the Slytherins!" said Hermione disdainfully, "They look disgusted. Apparently they think muggles are stupid."

"So there won't be any of them going if your observation is correct," said Ron, "and that's good news."

At this time, professor Mcgonagall stood up, ordering the students to quiet down. The school was dismissed and everyone went up to their common room, while the prefects, including Hermione, show the first years the way.

Meanwhile, up in the Griffindor common room, Harry, Ron and Neville decided to sign up tomorrow.

"That's decided. Let's talk to Mcgonagall after Transfiguration." said Harry.

"I assume Hermione wants to go too. She told us she's interested in the Herbology thing." Said Ron.

Harry and Neville corrected him, "It's Biology."

After catching up with their summer holiday doings, they went to bed.

Meanwhile, in the dorm of Ravenclaw girls, Luna Lovegood was disappointed.

"I also wanted to exchange! Perhaps I'll ask Professor Flitwick. I'm his favourite student." and she fell asleep soon.
