Harry rushed up the stone steps towards the astronomy tower, he was late and out of breath but pressed on. He slid through the door just as the intercom system went in to action.

He heard Professor McGonagall's voice boom over the school, "Would the following students please report to the Great Hall immediately, Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley and Pansy Parkinson."

Harry groaned. He had just run all that way for no reason. He slowly turned and descended the stairs toward the Great Hall

"Severus this is a tad unfair, matching the worst of enemies together." Minerva said eyeing Snape severely.

"Ah but Minerva, Slytherins and Gryffindors have always been enemies." He pointed out. "You are just afraid you'll lose this bet." He smiled smugly, "and you will."

She glared at him as the called students began to enter. "Settle down children." McGonagall spoke over the noise the reason we have called you here is to inform you of a field trip you will be taking. For a month you will be traveling seven different countries and eight different states in The United States with one partner. You will be bound to this partner full time. If you make an attempt to separate from your partner you will begin to disappear. Both you and your partner will disappear. The second you walked in the door this spell was placed on you. All that is to be done now is to give you your partners. You will be spending the night here since you can't separate from your partner. Now when I call your names you will stand beside your assigned partner."

McGonagall finished. She took out a large parchment and cleared her throat. "Harry Potter and Pansy Parkinson."

Harry's mouth hit the floor. "But." He began to protest but she silenced him with a wave of her hand.

"You will go as assigned Potter no discussion." She said sternly watching as Harry glumly walked over to stand beside Pansy.

In that instant blue sparks swirled around the two and everyone knew the spell had been enforced. "Great." Harry and Pansy muttered simultaneously.

"Ronald Weasley and Vincent Crabbe, Ginny Weasley and Gregory Goyle." Ginny shuddered as she stepped towards Goyle.

"Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy." Hermione's head snapped up. "What? You can't be serious."

Minerva stared her down. "I'm afraid I am Miss Granger." She stated simply. Malfoy smirked, limitless ways to annoy Granger on a field trip this should be interesting.
