A week later in the boys' dormitory, Vince was sitting on his bed listening to Seamus talk about Lavender, his new girlfriend.

"and then, In the next owl I sent her, I asked her to be my girlfriend. Of course, she said yes," Seamus explained to Vince, over and over again. Vince looked over at Harry, who reminded him much of himself.

"She's all he talks about," Harry whispered rolling his eyes.

"So, Vince, Can you tell us about America?" Ron blurted over Seamus. He was obviously tired of listening to Seamus tell his Lavender story for the thirteenth time that week.

Vince looked down at his worn out shoes and then back at Ron. "Sure," he said in a quite voice. "Well, It's really beautiful and there's a lot of stuff to do there," He started while gaining confidence in his voice. " There's a lot of monuments and McDonald's everywhere. We used to have a McDonald's day at Margous…" His voiced trailed off as he mentioned his old witchcraft and wizardry school.

There was a moment of silence

"Margous?" Ron asked suddenly. Vince looked around at the three other boys.

"Um, yes. That's the magic school I went to," Vince began. " I mean, The school Brigette, Madison and I attended."

"Why did you have to leave?" Ron was very interested in this subject.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that," Harry looked at Vince suspiciously." Maybe you should ask Brigette." Vince's words echoed in everyone's head. Not a word was spoken. The silence filled the air like water entering a sinking submarine.

"Ah! look it's time for dinner!" Harry's words escaped his mouth without him knowing so. Everyone shook their heads from being in a quite trance.

"Right, Uh lets go," Ron said stumbling to his feet heading to the nearest door.

"Ron, you might want to try THIS door," Harry said pointing at entrance door.

"right, Harry. I was just testing, your, Uh, your awareness of things, yeah that's it…"

While eating their dinner at in the great hall, Harry noticed that Hermione had seemed a little distant.

"Is everything all right Hermione?" Ron asked while practically fitting a whole chicken leg in his mouth.

Hermione looked away from Ron in disgust "Yes, everything is fine. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to the library."

"Library, Library, Library, Is that all you think about Herm..?" Ron asked almost finishing his question but, didn't because, Hermione threw him a stern look. Ron perced his lips together and looked back down at his plate.

As Hermione got up from her seat, Brigette and Madison took it.

"Hi Ron, Harry!"

"Hi Brigette, how are you doing?" Ron asked while corn flew out of his mouth.

"I'm just super,Ron," Brigette answered in a smile picking up his pieces of corn and putting them in her mouth. Harry looked at her strange. Hermione, who was still standing by the table looked very disgusted as she turned and walked away. Ron quickly sollowed the rest that was left in his mouth and grinned sheepishly

"Harry, I'm surprised we have so many classes together!" Madison was very giddy, all the time. This annoyed Harry once in a while, like today for instance. He was in Potion's class and if Snape didn't hate him enough, Madison was his lab partner and she accidently put in frog legs in instead of frog eyes. She just laughed it off as the cauldron began to shake and blue frog eggs popped out. Harry took the blame and wound up with detention and 10 points from Griffindor.

Harry smiled, " Yeah, we do have alot of classes together, don't we?" He was still partly disgusted at Brigette.

"Oh, Harry, I'm really sorry about getting you detention! you didn't have to stick up for me!" Madison said as she grabbed Harry's hand.

"It's not a problem, really. I hardly ever leave Snape's class without a detention," Harry smiled slightly. He didn't want the detention but, it wasn't that big of a deal.

"Oh," Madison giggled, '" We had a teacher like that at Margous, didn't we Brigette? Professor Gaiman, he wasn't very nice but, he tought the defense against dark arts class..." Madison trailed off as Brigette gave her a horrid look at the mentioning of Margous.

Ron noticed this and decided to take advantage of it. "Why, did you have to leave, Madison?"

Madison looked at Brigette for reinusrrance but, did not get it. She was shot down with another aweful look. Neither of the girls answered just ate in silence.

"Oh look, Poor little Weasley even disgusts the new Americans," said a cold sharp voice. That nasty voice belonged to Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin. " And, That's saying something, especailly since they haven't even known you for a week."

"Go away Malfoy!" Harry said in a stern, mean voice, not even looking behind him.

"Well, you know it's true Potter.." Harry reached inside of his robes and grabbed his wand. He turned around and faced Draco. "Leave!" Draco tossed his head aside and looked over at the two girls.

"You know what girls, Potter does get a little down right nasty sometimes. So if you ever have any trouble, just come to me okay? I can put him his place," Draco said as he looked down at Harry and then at Ron.

"And you, Weasley. You should try talking when your mouth ISN'T full," He chuckled and then returned to his table.

Ron looked back at his plate at pushed it away.
