brilliant J.K Rowling. I'm just keeping myself entertained until book six!
Chapter 1
"All students must go to the Great Hall at 2.50 sharp. There will be a special assembly". The voice of Professor McGonagall could be herd all over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As the students herd the announcement, wild rumours began to circulate the classrooms.
"I herd," whispered Hanna Abbott of Hufflepuff "that Professor Snape is taking a sick leave. He looks worst than ever"
"No, I herd that they are going to cancel Defence against the Dark Arts because the only person that they have for the job is Hagrid" whispered Luna.
The wild rumours had spread like fire. There were even rumours that he-who- shall-not-be –named had been found hiding in the fourth floor girls bathroom, where he was apparently planning to take over the magical and muggle world!
"Honestly I wish everyone would just grow up" hissed Hermione who was trying to concentrate on History of Magic. Professor Binns was giving his usual lecture in his usual drowsy way. Most of the class were discussing the forthcoming assembly. Professor Binns was oblivious to the whispering. He continued to lecture the class on the Goblin Revolution in 1258.
"I reckon it's about quidditch," whispered Ron Weasley to his best friend Harry Potter.
"Yeah, maybe the Slytherin team will be disqualified for that foul on Wood".
"Defiantly" said Ron in a loud voice. He had not forgiven Marcus Flint for that nasty tackle on the Gryffindor captain, Oliver Wood.
"Do you really think Professor Dumbledore would really have a special assembly on quidditch?" Hermione gave the boys a stern look.
"Chill Hermione. I don't know you hate quidditch. Its important"
"Not that important that your whole life depends on it Ronald Weasley" snapped Hermione, who's turned a tomato colour.
"Hey guys, leave it, there's no point arguing" said Harry. He was use to calming Ron and Hermione down. They seemed to be arguing a lot recently and if the truth were told, it was really starting to do his head in.
Ron gave Hermione a dirt look and then turned towards Professor Binns. Then after about five seconds he looked out of the window. Hermione rolled her eyes and started to concentrate and take notes.
Harry sighed. He could not concentrate on the lesson and he really could not be bothered to take notes. He did not really understand anything that Professor Binns said. Harry tore of a piece of paper and nudged Ron
"Hangman?" he enquired
As 2.50 approached, excited students rushed to the Great Hall. Many of them were looking for Professor Snape after hearing the rumours about him.
Harry, Hermione and Ron were amongst the last ones to arrive. They took their place at the end of the Gryffindor table.
At the head table sat the teachers. Professors McGonagall and Snape were both present. Professor Dumbledore was stood at the centre of the table, waiting for the students to settle down. He readjusted his purple hat and looked around the Great Hall. All the students were looking at the headmaster eagerly.
"Now that we are all present, I shall begin," said Professor Dumbledore, his blue eyes twinkling
"I have called this special assembly to announce some news that I think will interest the majority of you. At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry we encourage the students to accept a diversity of cultures and people. We believe that this is essential for the world we live in. We should all learn about different cultures and different ways of living. With this is mind I have arranged a trip to Paris for all the students"
As the students herd the word "Paris", excited whispers began to circulate. Even Hermione whispered to Ron and Harry.
"Oh my God. Paris. I always wanted to go. Do you know that the Mona Lisa is actually a witch?"
Professor Dumbledore coughed to let the students know that he wanted to carry on
"Now I know you are all excited and I am happy to see that you are very enthusiastic about this trip. We shall leave in three days time. All of you will be put into small groups led by a professor. This small group will be like your family on this trip."
Professor Dumbledore looked at the students,
"I shall now tell you what group you are in. Let me inform you that the sorting hat placed you in these groups; it had nothing to do with the Professors.
Professor Dumbledore picked up a piece of paper that was in front of him and began to read out the names.
"Dean, Seamus, Hannah, Ginny and Katie. You will all be in one group and Hagrid will be your Professor"
Hagrid beamed at Ginny who gave him a big smile.
"Ron, Harry, Hermione, Oliver and Draco will all be in one group"
Ron, Harry and Hermione all looked at one another. "Not Draco" hissed Hermione, As Ron shot Draco a dirty look.
"And Professor Snape will be in your group."
Harry mouth opened as Hermione looked at him desperately. Having Snape in their group was going to ruin their French trip.
Hermione looked up at Professor Snape, who's mouth turned into a hideous evil smile.
"This is going to be the worst trip ever", whispered Ron
