Foreign Exchange

Prologue

The large meeting room was filled with the delegates of the United Wizarding Nations, or the UWN. Secretary-General Jin Ae Jang of North Korea sat in her chair at the head of the meeting table, waiting for the last delegate from Great Britain to come in. She looked utterly bored. At long last Kingsley Shacklebolt, of England, finally arrived.

"Sorry I'm late, the ministry can't seem to do anything without me."

"Well Kingsley you are the minister. That could have something to do with it," Rebecca Laurent, also of the UK, spoke sarcastically.

"Ok can we pick this up? I have kids to get home to," James Elliot of Canada said impatiently.

"Right, well, have finally come to a decision for the school year?" Jang asked the delegates.

"I for one think it is a spectacular idea. I ran it by my kids as well and the only one that disagreed was Tristan. He doesn't count though, he's out of school," replied Alexandre Ra Silva of France. Cornelia La Rousseau of Norway spoke up.

"I have an idea. I'm not sure how everyone else will react but, what about having a ministry exchange along with the students and teachers?" Jang thought about this.

"Hmm, sounds interesting. We could try it. All in favor say aye." 20 out of 48 hands rose. "Well the nays have it. I can see why. Some of the ministries may crash and burn if too many of their personnel is missing." She looked a Shacklebolt with a sharp eye. He turned his nose up snootily at her. "It was a good idea La Rousseau." She smiled politely at the woman. "Now, dates. October 1st for arrival dates, say aye." 45 of 48 agreed. "Ayes have it. End date. Most of the schools end on June 30th, correct? So May 30th for the end of our exchange say aye." 48 of 48. "Good. Now that that is in order, transportation. Hogwarts: train, Durmstrangs: Ship, Beauxbatons: horses, Shie Nong Yu Shuey: Dragons. What else?"

"Middle Eastern and Cleopatra's had flying carpets."

"Salem and International have airplanes."

"La Latina and the Caribbean will take portkeys."

"Corelli will take an airplane as well."

"Ok, that's done. Anything else we need to take care of? I don't think there is; everything else is up to the schools." Nobody raise their hands or spoke up. "None? Good. I call this meeting adjourned."

Hello People! I still need a few more characters! Since I had only ONE entry for La Escula, That is not a school anymore. The person I got for that school has been transferred. I will leave this open for a few more days then I shall close it. I hope you like my little prologue! Later lovelies!
