Chapter 1
"I don't understand why we have to take this class. I've been raised, poorly but raised, by Muggles and Hermione is a halfblood.", Harry comlpained to his two best friends, Ron and Hermione.
"Oh stop complaining Harry. It's normal for us to not have magic and do stuff by hand. It's going to be more diffcult for purebloods, like Malfoy and Luna.", Hermione replied as she walked into he small classroom.
Upon entering the room, Hermione saw Luna sitting on one of the desk talking to somebody that only she could see. Draco Malfoy and his group of friends were off in the corner, by themselves, talking in almost whispers to each other. At the front of the classroom stood a short, chubby man with thining brown hair. His chubby cheeks were a rosy red and his glasses sat on the end of his long, ski-slope nose. He was wearing a brown tweed suit that looked at less a size too big for him.
"Look Harry. An empty table. We can sit there. Ron, you can sit with Luna, in front of us.", Hermione smiled as she grabbed Harry's wrist and pulled him over to the table. They could hear Ron groan behind them as he slowly made his way over to Looney Luna Lovegood.
Looking up from the papers the man was studying, he let his eyes glance over the room. Everybody was seated, talking amonst themselfs. Not a single desk was empty.
"Aright class. Settle down. We need to start class now.", the man at the front of the room spoke. His voice was strong and clear, which seemed to startle the students. It wouldn't seem that somebody that small could talk that loud.
"Class, my name is Professor Linton. As you know, this is a new class that has been added to Hogwarts. All students are required to take this week long study. Today is not the first day of class. Your first day will begin tomorrow. Right now I am just letting you know what the class is about."
"This class is to let all of you wizards and witches learn what it is like to be a Muggle. Everybody will be put in boy/girl pairs. You each will be given a small one bedroom house on the grounds of Hogwarts. While living in this house you will not be able to use magic. Your wands will not produce magic either. You are still required to attend your regular classes though. Once in the castle, your wands will work again. Now, I have posted, outside beside the door, who will be paired together and beside your names are instructions to your house and the house key. You ma choose to go there now or after classes tomorrow evening. That will be all. Thank you for listening. Class is dismissed."
Hermione smiled, jumping up and running outside to the door. In a few moments she came running back in the class with a sheet of white paper and a small, gold key in her hand. "Harry, Harry! We are paired up. We get to share a house together. Isn't that wonderful!? I was scared to death that I would be paired with Malfoy."
Harry laughed a little, taking the sheet of paper from Hermione. He glanced over it and then handed it back to her. Hermione turned to Ron. He was frowning. He had wanted to be paired with Hermione. Before Ron could say anything, Lun came skipping back into the room, a smile spread across her face.
"Ron, we are paired together. Isn't that wonderful? I can show you all of the wonderful creatures that father has discovered and sent to me.", Luna smiled as she passed the gold key to Ron. Ron nodded. A frown, instead of a smile, spread over his pale, freckled face.
