A/N: Here you go, thank you to those that reviewed. I'm going to start working on the next chapter now, but there is no guarantee it'll be out tonight, sorry for any spelling mistakes -- I rushed it to get it out to you.

Hermione climbed out of bed, and looked over at Draco, his hair was a mess, and he were snoring. Hermione sighed and walked over to the window, to see a large, brown owl; the reason she had woken up. Today was the day they left Hogwarts and went to what ever the teachers had deemed appropriate for them. She pulled the window open and allowed the Owl to fly in to the room and perch on the end of the bed. She walked over, slowly and pulled the letter from it's leg. It was addressed to them both, so Hermione opened it, and read it. It said:

Mr Malfoy, Miss Granger.

I request your presents down in the hall, please arrive as soon as you have read this, and make sure you have everything packed – please bring your luggage down with you, you will be leaving as soon as possible.

Prof. McGonagall.

Hermione put the letter down and gasped, she'd forgotten to pack. She walked around to the bed, and knelt down next to Draco, she poked him, hard with her wand and hissed 'get up'. Alls Draco did was roll over and say:

"Don't poke me!"

Hermione frowned, and poked him again, and again, and again. She did this until he finally snapped and sat up.

"What?!" He asked, slightly angry at the fact that he was woken up.

"Get up, we need to pack and get to the hall!" Hermione said, running from the bed and dragging her trunk out from underneath it.

"I didn't unpack, so I'm ready to go." Draco said, standing up and walking in to the bathroom to have a shower. Hermione sighed and transfigured her trunk in to a suitcase, and threw all her stuff in it, placing a charm over it, so that it wouldn't get full. She pulled some of her clothes back out of the wardrobe and folded them in to her suitcase. She did this until all her clothes were piled safely in the suitcase, then began to throw all her other stuff in. Everything she had brought to Hogwarts, was going with her, she had decided. It took her about ten minutes to get everything back in the case, and then she had to chase Crookshanks, there were no way he were being left behind. Finally Draco got out of the shower and Hermione quickly dived in it. Whilst Hermione were in the shower, Draco double checked he had everything, and like Hermione, transfigured his trunk to a case, placing the same charm on it, so it'd look normal from the outside, but have all sorts of things inside it. In half an hour they were ready to go, and made their way down to the hall, their luggage floating beside them. They didn't talk, they walked in silence. When they finally reached the hall, they were the last ones in there, and rushed to sit down, there wasn't many places left, so they ended up sitting together. Ron growled at this. He didn't want Hermione sat next to him – he could hurt her. McGonagall smiled at the students and stood up.

"I called you all here today, as today is the day you leave Hogwarts for about nine and half months. During that time, there will be activities you will need to complete, and you'll get a few surprises along the way. Although, I'm sure you'll be able to cope. Now, if you'll each come up front and find the envelope with your name on, we can begin." She said, pointing to the staff table, where there were envelopes spread out. Everyone scrambled forwards, so they could get theirs and find out was going to happen next. McGonagall waited until everyone was back in their seats before continuing.

"Do not open the envelopes yet; first off, I need to explain somethings. Because there is only forty of you taking part in this course, there will be a group of nine in each of the following locations; Canada, England, Australia, Six in America and seven in France," McGonagall started.

"When you get there, an owl will deliver a message, and it will wait. I want you to send a reply, telling me you there safely, and if you need anything for the house. Remember, some rooms won't be opened for you, and will open at specific times during the months. Some doors might not open until the very last week of the course. Now, the groups you are with, were sorted by who your friends are, some of you might find you have no friends in your country – but all your partners friends are there. Don't worry. You can still keep in touch with your friends, but you need to use Muggle posting methods.

"While you are in your location, if anything bad should happen, then you are permitted to use your wands, but please, make sure you send your patronus to us, first – we can help you!" McGonagall said, stressing the point out.

"And, now you may open your envelopes and find out where you are going!" McGonagall said, knowing that is what a lot of them were waiting for.

Hermione pulled hers open, and a plane ticket dropped out. She read it, carefully, then smiled, but didn't say where she were going. "Where are you two going?" She asked Harry and Ron. Both the boys in question turned to look at each other and grinned.

"America!" They said together. "What about you?"

"America!" Hermione nearly yelled, happy she'd be with her friends.

"Thank god for that." Harry said, hugging his friends.

"Yep, now I can keep an eye on you and my baby sister." He emphasized the word 'baby' to make Harry get the point. Harry just nodded, and didn't say anything.

"You will be taken to the airport via portkey." McGonagall informed them. "America's group, please come forwards."

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Ginny and Lavender stepped forwards and touched an old, broken quill. They felt the all too familiar pull and disappeared from the hall.

A/N#2: Just so you all know, I'm English and I have never been to America. So, during the duritation of this story, and while they are at America (yes, I am going to be sticking to America, the main characters are there – sorry) if I do, or say anything that is wrong, or you think is untrue, please correct me, I have never been to America, so therefore I don't know that much about the place (except that nearly all the best films in the world come from there.) and I'd appreciate it if you'd correct me, I don't mean to offend, and it's not the reason I wrote this. I apologize now, for any mistakes (as I am sure to make many) I do – please remember, those that live in America or any other country for that matter - I don't mean to offend!

Luv you all.
