Catastrophe from Canada

A new program has made Hogwarts as we know it turn up-side-down... (this is just a trial story- if people are reading and reviewing it then I'll continue, if not, then I'll leave it and try again)

1. New year, new program

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, places or concepts you know from JK Rowling's amazing books, but I do own "Yksnillow Hpesoj School of Magical Practice".

Catastrophe from Canada

Chapter 1: New year, new program

It was the week before Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and he was presently staying at his friend Ron's house. They were just sitting down to eat a spot of breakfast when the Weasley's family owl, Errol came crashing into the window with the post.

"Go let him in Ron," Mrs. Weasley told her youngest son in a tired voice. Ron went to open the window and retrieve Errol from the ground, and untied the envelope from his leg.

"It's our school list, we've got Harry's too," Ron told the kitchen as he took out the letter and began to read.

"What's this letter though?" Ron asked as Harry got up to look at what seemed to be confusing Ron. Ron read aloud as Harry followed on;

To all students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
This year we will be starting a new program at the school, a foreign exchange with a Wizarding school from another (randomly selected) country. The school that we have selected for our first trial of this new program is Yksnillow Hpesoj School of Magical Practice from Canada. We have decided to do this exchange every five years. Students who are in the foreign exchange will spend one whole year at the other's school. Students who wish to participate in the exchange should fill out the form below and send it back to Hogwarts straight away. I would encourage everyone to volunteer as this is a truly unique experience and would be highly educational to everyone. Enjoy the rest of your summers!
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster

"Canada, for a year," Ron pondered aloud. "I've grown quite used to Hogwarts, don't fancy going to some school in Canada for a whole year, you aren't going to volunteer for this, are you Harry?"

"No," replied Harry at once. He wouldn't be able to stand a whole year away from his best friend. He wondered if Hermione, his other best friend, would do the exchange, she had probably read about this school somewhere, but his questioned was answered the next week when he saw Hermione at King's Cross station where they boarded the Hogwarts Express and headed off to school.
