A/N: As promised, a second chapter for today. This is the Day 1 chapter (Day 1= Feb 1), even though each chapter doesn't necessarily equal a day in the month they spend in the Muggle World. I hope that part made sense.

Daphne and Pansy immediately began discussing clothing and the different outfits they were going to get. They headed off to a store and stepped inside, before rushing back towards the group. With a gasp Pansy shrieked, "We don't have any money!" She paused for a moment. "I mean of course we have money. We aren't the Weasleys or anything."

At this, Ron let out a cry of outrage. "We aren't poor, Parkinson. Ever heard of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, you little-"

"Oh do shut up," came the reply, "We're in the middle of a crisis!"

"Exactly!" Daphne agreed. "We need new clothes, and we don't have muggle money!"

"What are we supposed to do now?" Pansy wailed.

Passersby began staring at them, wondering why two oddly dressed girls were sobbing on the side of the streets. Justin began trying to shush them, rolling his eyes and giving the pedestrians the universal sign for craziness, circling his finger by the side of his head. They briefly nodded and kept walking, seemingly used to such odd displays.

Ernie piped up, "Hey! We can just look at the book, right?" A Ravenclaw looked up the right page and began to read it out loud.

Muggle money is very different from wizarding money. There are coins and there are bills, or little slips of paper. Each of these has the picture of the muggle Queen on them. Unlike the 29 Knuts to a Sickle conversion that we follow, they instead have 100 pence to a pound. We have yet to figure out where they get such a random conversion factor from, but it seems to suit the muggles fine. Each bill has a number on it on the top left. That is the value of the bill. Even though the bills may look the same, apparently the number makes a difference. Money can be converted at the bus station. For conversion from wizarding money, state the code word "Pickles" to the teller in the fourth stall from the left, then ask about his cat. He will take your money and give you the proper exchange in muggle money.

The muggleborns stared. "Is that really what it says?" Justin wondered. "Well, I mean, it's true enough." Harry replied.

"But they think 100 is a random conversion factor? Barmy, they are."

With a shrug, Harry led the group toward the money exchange booth. One by one, they all got their money, staring at the coins and bills in awe.

Draco held up a 5 pound note and a 20 pound note. "So according to that book, this piece of paper is not the same as this piece of paper?" At the nod he received, he exclaimed, "But paper isn't even worth anything. Are muggles so poor that they can't even get proper gold or silver?" Hermione sighed and began explaining paper currency. Draco looked ready to argue, but Pansy clamped a hand over his mouth and dragged him by the elbow to the little clothing shop down the street. Daphne joined them, and the rest of the group hurried to catch up.
