Sometimes we get second chances,
sometimes we never make it past the first,
it really makes me wonder why some things happen when they do,
it really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you.
And when you say,
it doesn't matter,
well it does,
and all it takes is a mistake to eat your words,
just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight..
Sometimes we never see the warning,
and the voice in your head tells you not to go,
it really makes me wonder why some things happen when they do,
It really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you.
And when you say,
it doesn't matter,
well it does,
and all it takes is a mistake to eat your words,
just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight..
And when you look,
it's gone,
it's too late to turn around,
and it's another day facing yourself and the things that you've done,
woh-oh-oh-oh-ohhh
And when you say,
it doesn't matter,
well it does,
and all it takes is a mistake to eat your words,
just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight..

DING! DONG! DING! DONG! It was the bell. There were not many students who took this Muggle Studies, so all the houses were together in one class. The people in the class were: George Weasley, Hermione Granger,Ron Weasley,Parvati Patil, Lavender Brown(gryffindor), Ernie Macmillan, Hannah Abbott(hufflepuff),Cho Chang, Padma Patil, Morgan Lacent, Seth Jaheem(ravenclaw),Pansy Parkinson, and Blaise Zabini(slytherin). All the years were combined also.
Ron sat down next to Hermione.
"Hey" he wispered to her.
"hey"
Welcome, my students. "Professor Roberts said, "Today i have a special announcement. We will be going on a feild trip for 5 days. You are a very bright group of students so i have decided that it be elaborate. I have already sent permission slips to your parents and they have all agreed to let you go."
"As you know we have been studying muggle malls. Well, our field trip will be to a muggle mall." Parvati, Lavender, and Padma gasped and giggled at the excitement.
"You will sleep in the mall and spend all your time there observing muggles. I expect a foot long essay on the mall and how people behave there. You may not leave the grounds of the mall, but you may go outside. "
"There is one thing that you all may or may not be keen on. The muggle mall is in the US." Ron's eyes grew wide at this comment.
"New Jersey to be exact. Right near the middle. The mall is called Quakerbridge Mall. It is not a very big mall, but it has alot of things and it is a very popular mall, beacuse it is close to the capital, Trenton." Professor Roberts continued.
Hermione was not excited about it, but was not dissapointed either. Going to the mall wasnt really one of her past times. Then she heard a groan behind her.
When she turned around, she saw George. then she started to feel really bad for him. She didnt think he would like being stuck in a mall.
"Excuse me class." The Professor said. Hermione turned around. Dumbledore as standing at the front of the class room. "I have some quick buiseness to tend to, please control yourself while i'm gone, i will be back in 5 minuets. With that she left the classroom, following Dumbledore.
Hermione turned around quickly to talk to George and Ron at the same time.
"You really dont want to go on this trip do you?" She asked them.
George shook his head no. "Nah, i had to take Ginny to a muggle mall once, and i thought i was going to die. I have no clue how girls can shop like that, its really scary" He said as he ran his hand through his fire red hair.
She laughed. "I dont know either, actually. Im not the type of girl to go running around malls on a shopping spree. i like shopping, just not as much as Lavender and Parvati."
"Well, at least i have one person to talk to who wont drag me into prissy accessory shops" He smiled at Hermione.
Then she thought of something. Why was he smiling at her so much? Maybe he was just trying to be friendly. The truth was, her and George were not the best of friends. They knew each other but you couldnt really call them "best friends". just..."friends". She didnt think she would enjoy pranks being pulled on her left-and-right.
"I do have shopping to do though, just a couple of shops though. I wonder where were going to sleep? Probably in the stores that have couches in them or something."
"I hope so"
"Im back class."
Hermione turned around in her seat.
"I have one more thing to tell you. When you get to the mall, your luggage will not be there. It will appear exactly 5 minuets after the mall closes, in a corner of the mall. 10 minuets before the mall closes, you will become invisible, and a vision of you will leave the mall so make sure you find a place to sleep before the stores close. People can no hear your voice either so do not worry about whispering. Be in the store before it closes, or you will not be able to get in, and will have to sleep on the floor in the mall outside of the store. Make sure your awake and be ready for the day by 7 a.m. because at 7:10 your luggage will dissapear. You will become visible again 40 minuets after the mall opens (at 9:45), but no vision of you will enter the mall, so i would advise you to go into the bathroom, and become visible again there. Everyone understand?" Professor Roberts explained.
The class nodded their heads.
"Good, now, you will leave next moday, at 9:30 in the morning. You will use a Portkey diguised as a purse. You will be sent to the back of the mall, in the truck-loading area. If anyone is there to see you, i will teach Miss Granger the Memory Charm."
Everyone turned to Hermione and she smiled at Proffesor Roberts.
'I am dissmissing you out of class early, sinse this is the last class of the day,so you can relax tonite and the weekend, before your trip. You are dismissed"
With that being said, all of the students stood up from their chairs and left the class room.
"Hermione!" A girl called after Hermione. She turned around to see Morgan and Seth running after her. Morgan had short blonde hair, green eyes, and always seemed to be hiper. (a/n: im not trying to make morgan sound mary-sue-ish, but my friend asked me to put her in the story so i had to describe her and thats what she looks like!)Hermione and Morgan were pretty good friends, even though they hardley ever saw each other.
"O hi morgan." She said.
"Guess what?" Morgan exclaimed semmingly very hiper.
"What?" Hermione laughed sensing her axious nature.
"Seth and I are going out now!" She said as Seth slid his arm around Morgan waist. Hermione was very happy for her, considering Morgan had told her multiple times that she was crazy over Seth.
"Wow! im really happy for you guys!" Hermione said, even though she was too distracted to think about it too much.
"I have to go tell Harry! Bye!" She called as she ran through the door.
As she ran away Hermione shook her head and walked out of the classroom.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Hermione walked down the Transfiguration cooridor back to the Gryffindor Tower,
"Hey Granger." A voice drawled icily behind Hermione.
Hermione turned around slowly, hoping she would not find who she thought she would. Her wish didnt come true.
There standing behind her, was Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini.
"What do you want Parkinson?" Hermione asked the Slytherin.
"Wow, mudblood, I thought you would be more happy to see us. I guess I was wrong." Blaise said semi-sarcastically.
"Yea, I guess you were." Hermione snapped turning around starting to walk in the other direction.
"Hermione, wait!" Pansy called. This caught her by shock. Did pansy Parkinson, the pure-blood slytherin, just call her by her first name?
Hermione turned around once again and walked back to Pansy and Blaise. "Wh..what did you call me?" Hermione asked shocked.
"Listen Hermione, im sorry Pansy and I snapped at you before, its just a habit. The real reason we said 'hey' was because we wanted to say sorry." Blaise said guiltily.
"Pardon?" Hermione asked questionly.
"For all the things we have said in the past. We realized we were wrong. (btw hermione looks like a goldfish with her mouth opening and closing from shock) Do you think we could be friends?" Pansy said sounding TRULY sorry.
"I...wh..h...g..how..i gu...guess we could...be friends. If you really want to." Hermione choked out hesitatingly.
"Good, now, umm, how do we go about being friends?" Blaise asked Pansy and Hermione sheepishly.
