"This year I am going to give you something to do over your summer holidays. I think it's time we learn more about muggle's and their way of living. I want you to do a research project over the summer using muggle methods to get your information. At the beginning of next year you will hand the projects to the heads of your houses. I know it may sound different but I think its necessary. You will get an owl in a week with a topic to research. That will be all."
Everyone looked at each other amazed. This was a bit unusual... but interesting.
"Hey this is a great idea." Hermione said excitedly as they left the great hall. "We can go to my house and use the internet."
"The what?" Ron asked
"The internet, it's full of useful information and you can meet new people over it."
Ron looked confused and was about to say something when Hermione turned to Harry.
"Isn't this an interesting project?" She asked him.
"Sure." He replied. He was looking forward to going to Hermione's place, of all the years they had been friend's he had not yet seen her house and he was looking forward to it. The Dursley's had the internet but they never let him on the computer to use it, so he was excited to see what it was all about.
