INFIRMARY ALERT!
The next morning, Harry overslept. When he finally awoke, his glanced at his clock and realized that it was 9:45 AM. Dressing at a normal pace, he suddenly realized that it was Monday. Classes! His meeting with Lauren was forgotten.
Harry started pulling on his clothes super fast. He found his robe nicely folded on his trunk and put it on, not wasting a single second pondering who had put it there. He ran down the stairs trying to buckle his robe and sling his bag over his shoulder at the same time.
Running trough the deserted common room, Harry realized that the portrait hole was open. Huh? Why was that so?
Harry soon got his answer as he stopped in his tracks. All of the Gryffindor students were filtering through the portrait hole. At the end of the line were Ron and Hermione. Harry frantically scanned the people who had entered. No, they weren't there. Lauren and Brian were missing.
"Where-" Harry started, but Hermione cut him off.
"You overslept so late, Harry? You missed an important speech. Extremely important, in your case."
"Why?" Harry asked, squinting his eyes at Hermione. He glanced at Ron, who was standing next to Hermione with an elated but sad expression on his face as he stared at the floor.
"You, Ron, Ginny, Lauren and Brian are being transferred for the next semester."
"We're what? Transferring?" Harry was very puzzled.
"Yeah," Ron said, looking up from the floor.
"Where?" Harry asked.
"Etines."
"Etines? Cool!"
"Not cool," Ron replied. "We'll be taking extra classes, like 'Technology' and 'Communications'."
"Why?" Harry said.
"So we can come back to Hogwarts with experience with modern technology. They're getting computers and things like that put in one of the empty classrooms so they can start Tech and Comm classes here."
"So? That seems pretty cool."
"Well, if you like it so much I guess you should be happy."
"Then why aren't you?"
"Because I've had no experience whatsoever of technology. Gee wizards, I can't even use a telephone!"
"I thought-never mind. Well, what's so bad about Etines?"
"Nothing. Just the extra classes." Ron smiled. "But we've got a plus. No Snape for a whole semester!"
"Great!"
"Hey, is it true that Etines dorms are coed?" Ron asked, but nobody heard him.
Everyone's attention had shifted to the portrait hole. Someone was walking through it.
