Chapter 2

I was running through a dark forest toward a boy with dark hair when I saw a flash of green light. The boy crumpled to his knees. I ran to him and started shaking him, but then he started screaming, "Cammie, come on! Ugh! Cammie!" I was a little freaked out that he knew my name, but then he started disappearing. And not just him, but the whole forest. I was in pitch blackness for a moment, then I opened my eyes. Liz was leaning over me shouting for me to wake up, a pillow held threateningly in her hands. I would have been scared, except it was Liz holding the pillow – she would drop it before it even got to me.

"Where were you last night?" Bex asked from across the room where she was doing her hair.

"I, uh, what? I went to the bathroom!" I exclaimed, a tad defensively. I guess that tad was enough to tip off Liz, because she said, "You were gone way too long, Cammie! What happened?"

"Well, I was going to tell you guys after I had actually woken up," I replied, glaring at Liz, "But some people are a tad impatient. I found a new passageway when I tripped, so I followed it. It ends in a room with no apparent exits, but if people are talking in my mom's office, you can hear their conversations." This was met with stunned silence by two of the other people in the room. Macey piped right up, "So who and what did you hear?"

"My mom and Mr. Solomon. I didn't get there in time for the beginning of the conversation, but this is what I heard:

Do you think Cammie knows yet, Rachel?

I hope not, but she is the Chameleon. She probably knows something.

I know we are sending 15 of our kids. How many of the Hogwarts students are coming here?

And then I gasped, my mom heard, and I left," I concluded.

"Verbatim?" three voices chorused together.

"Verbatim," I confirmed.

Liz started jabbering away, "So I guess we're doing an exchange. This is so cool! I wonder if it is a girls only school or co-ed. Or boys only? But I hope it's not boys only. I wonder if they are spies too? I assume they are because they know about us, but as Mr. Solomon says, 'Expect the unexpected.' But if you expect the unexpected, doesn't that make the unexpected expected? So then you're expecting the expected again."

Bex cut her off, "OMG, I can't wait to go there! Ohhh, maybe only some people get to go! That would totally stink if we didn't get to go!"

"Get to go where?" a nosy little voice asked. It came from the nosy little head of Tina Walters, peeking nosily into our door. She's a bit nosy, if you catch my drift.

I sighed, "Nothing, Tina. Just go to breakfast."

"No! Tell me! I deserve to know!" she whined.

Bex cocked her eyebrow, "And why do you deserve to know?"

Tina had the answer on the tip of her tongue, "Because I always tell you guys what's going on!"

I gave in, just to get her to leave. "Fine, we're doing an exchange with a school called Hogwarts. Now please leave." She looked at me reproachfully then strolled out of the room. Every girl in the school would know what was happening before they walked into the Great Hall for breakfast.

I sighed and climbed out of bed. My uniform was hanging on the closet door, so I grabbed it and walked into the bathroom. I freshened up, throwing my plain brown hair into a messy ponytail. I knew Macey was going to lecture me about how hair is supposed to look, but I just didn't have the energy to do anything fancy. When I stepped out of the bathroom, Bex, Liz, and Macey were ready and waiting for me. Macey glared at my hair, then shook her head regretfully. "Come on, girls. We've got three minutes to get to the Welcome Back Breakfast, thanks to Cammie," she called, stepping out the door.

"Hey, I had an eventful night last night," I protested, falling into step on Macey's right. Bex was on my right, and Liz was next to her. I'm sure we looked like a formidable group, walking in a line like that. After all, Macey is gorgeous and a senator's daughter, Bex is exotic looking, and Liz is a cute blond genius. And me, I'm the Chameleon.

Anyways, we stepped into the Great Hall with 12 seconds to spare, thanks to a secret passageway hidden behind a suit of armor. All four of us grabbed plates and hurried to our regular seats, ignoring the stares from the new seventh graders, just as my mom reached the podium and began the Gallagher pledge. I tuned her out because I knew it by heart, plus there were more important things to think about, such as Hogwarts. Could there really be another school for spies? How could I not know about it?

My train of thought was cut off when my mom cleared her throat. "Ladies, I have an important announcement. This will not be a normal school year for any of you. Ten students from Hogwarts School will be coming to Gallagher Academy for the year. And ten of you will be going to their school for the year. Madame Dabney and Mr. Solomon will be accompanying the ten of you."

Shocked whispers exploded from the entire room. I noticed that no one in the sophomore class looked surprised. I could tell that my mom noticed too, from the way she was glaring at me. She attempted to gain control of the room again, "Ladies, please settle down. These are the names of the girls who are going to Hogwarts: Rebecca Baxter, Elizabeth Sutton, Cameron Morgan, Macey McHenry, Anna Fetterman, Courtney Bauer, Eva Alvarez, Tina Walters, Mick Morrison, and Kim Lee."

Author's Note: If anyone knows the codenames of Anna, Courtney, Eva, Tina, Mick, or Kim, please let me know in a review. Thanks!
