*Go to chapter 14, where I explain. This will be the first chapter that I fix up. I'm soo sorry.
Alrighty! Normal disclaimer thing...don't own crap. I know their are a lot of stories out there like this one, but I decided to take a stab at it. Enjoy! ;)
The sound in the Great Hall was outrageous. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny all sat down at the table and waited for Dumbledore's usual speech.
"Now that we're all sorted into our house and we've eaten, I'd like to make a couple of announcements. One, I would like to remind everyone that the Forbidden Forest is obviously forbidden. Two, no leaving the castle without letting a teacher know, and having permission granted. Four, any one interesed in joining Quiditch should sign up, and will be given a chance to try out for our captains. And now, I have a very special announcement." He paused and looked around the Great Hall. "Several parents in the past couple of years have approached me with the question of a life studies program here at Hogwarts, and we have finally found a suitable teacher to teach all of the seventh and sixth year students about life outside of school. Please welcome: Molly Weasley!"
Ron's mouth dropped open as he watched his mother approach the podium, a huge smile on her face. "As you know," she began, "I am Molly Weasley. I have had a fair share of children myself, and so I found myself fit to teach this class. Those who have my class listed on their schedule will meet in classroom 209 at ten o'clock every Monday and Wednesday, starting tomorrow. You will need to bring nothing except a book bag and a quill and parchment. My class is for both sixth and seventh years together. Thank you Albus," she then added, and returned to her seat beside Professor Snape.
Dumbledore continued his speech as a teacher came around and handed out schedules.
Hermione's eyes automatically flicked to ten o'clock. "Yes!" She exclaimed as she read "Life Classes."
"You got it too?" Harry asked. Ron looked horrified, and Harry looked like he couldn't care less.
Hermione nodded. "Yes. Isn't it exciting?"
Harry shrugged.
"No it is not bloody exciting!" Ron said. "My mom is teaching! I don't want my mom for a teacher!"
"Why not, Ron," Ginny asked. "It won't be that bad."
"Yeah right," Ron muttered.
The next morning, Hermione, Ron, and Harry all left Potions to go to their next classroom. Once seated, Hermione looked around. In the room she found Dean Thomas, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, Seamus Finnegan, Lavender Brown, Cho Chang, and Parvati Patil. Anyone not in the room would start their class later in the year.
Hermione took a seat next to Ron and Harry, and then watched as Mrs. Weasley bustled into the classroom.
"Hello students!" Mrs.-Professor Weasley greeted as she turned from writing her name on the top of a black board with her wand. "Now, I am going to get started with your first project immediately. I'm not positive, but I'm assuming all of you will want to be married in the future. So our first assignment is Survival. You will be paired with a spouse and receive two children that you will need to take care of. You will get a house to clean and live in. You will receive fake money to pay for bills and food. You will be graded on a final test and essay on how much you have learned. Now, to start, I have chosen our pairs at random. In the corner by the diaper diagram, I'd like Dean, Parvati, Harry, and Luna. By the checkbook display, Draco, Hermione, Ginny, Blaise." Hermione's eyes widened as she stood and approached the diagram. She pretended to be immersed in the article about balancing a checkbook, ignoring the stares she was receiving from the two boys. As soon as she was sure they weren't looking, she adjusted her skirt and buttoned up an extra button on her blouse.
"And over by the currency charts, Ron, Cho, Seamus, and Lavender."
Professor Weasley glanced up from her notebook and smiled at the pairs. "Perfect. Now, remember your groups. Ronald Weasley?"
Ron glanced up from his doodle to his mum, looking sheepish. "Yes?"
"Hand these out for me, will you?" She asked. "They have everyone's names on the inside."
Ron walked around and handed out a book to every person, then returned to his group quickly.
"On the inside you will find your group," Professor Weasley started. "When you take the potion in your rooms, some of the information will be updated. Now, if you'll please turn to page one, we will start our discussion on wedding vows..."
When the bell for class end was about to ring, Professor Weasley said, "Okay, on the inside cover you will find a location and a password. This is your house for the duration of this class. The password is the same for every life project student, considering in real life, our houses have locks and not passwords. We will discuss bills on Wednesday. I want you to go to your house now and follow the directions you will find on the table. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays you have a free period during this time. Remember to take perfect care of your children. Only students in this class can babysit, and only during an emergency. Be ready for your weddings on Wednesday. Memorize your wedding vows. See you Wednesday, students."
On this note, the bell rang. As Hermione and Ginny walked together, they found Blaise and Draco waiting for them at the door.
"Come on Granger, Weasley. We haven't got all day," Draco demanded as they approached.
Hermione rolled her eyes and looked at her best friend. Ginny caught what she meant and returned the gesture, nodding.
The four parted from their other classmates, all headed in separate directions. Hermione and the three were headed in the direction of the dungeons.
"Of course we get stuck down here," Hermione groaned, pulling out her wand. "Lumos."
"What's so bad about the dungeons, Granger?" Draco demanded.
"Well, first, their dark, and I, being a normal human being, need the sun to live, unlike some other scaly creatures I know. Second, the term dungeons are used to describe a medieval prison. This is definitely prison."
"Harsh," Blaise commented.
Hermione rolled her eyes again, and looked back down at her book. She looked up.
"Aha!" She exclaimed.
"What?" Draco asked.
"We're here!"
"No, why did you scream?"
"Uh...I didn't scream."
"Yes you did. A weird one, like this-Aha!"
"Yes. I do that when I've discovered something." She leaned over to Ginny. "Is this just a muggle thing?"
Ginny shrugged.
"Just say that password, Granger," Blaise said. "Draco doesn't understand anything below his status."
"I see," Hermione said. She turned to a big, black statue of a Goth unicorn and said, "Sparrow."
The unicorn bowed and stepped backwards, revealing a door, which Hermione pulled open.
She blinked in the sudden light. The hallways had been dark, but at least someone had thought to light candles in the room. The others followed in, and they took a minute to examine the room.
The biggest object was the large sofa that wrapped around the room, leaving only an opening on one side. In front of it were a table and a fireplace. There were three doors in it. Hermione opened one. In it was a large bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and all of Hermione's and Ginny's hair care products. She turned to the next. In it were a trundle bed, two dressers, and dozens of empty picture frames.
So that must mean...she opened the next door ad found that it was, indeed, the master bedroom, complete with a king-sized bed, end tables, and a single closet and shoe holder.
Hermione returned to the living room. The other three were standing around the coffee table. As Hermione approached, she saw words floating in midair.
"Choose carefully," it read. "Make sure you choose within your sex. Boy drinks boy. Girl drinks girl. Drink the whole potion."
As Hermione read each word, they disappeared in turn. Hermione glanced at the table. Behind a card that read "Female" were two goblets, and the same behind "Male."
Blaise picked up a goblet behind Male. "What are we waiting for?" he asked, downing the potion.
The others did the same. Hermione licked her lips and waited. She turned to Draco. "I don't feel any different."
He cleared his throat and pointed behind her.
"Oh Merlin."
Hope you liked it! 8) Please please please review! I'll be updating soon!
I changed a few things that didn't make much sense, and some things I remember people commenting on. Hope this satisfies.
