A/N: Hey again y'all! Ok, I know, two chapters in one day? This author has WAY too much time on her hands! Naw, I don't have any school today, so I decided, "Hey, why don't I write a story?" So, here I am, second chapter of Living in America! Ok, on with the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own it!

The next morning, Hermione went to the Common Room and found more instructions on their field trip. The letter went as follows;

Dear Ms. Granger,
As you know, you are to be going on a field trip with five other students to study Muggles in America. American Muggles are quite different from English Muggles so don't be surprised at the difference. I have compiled a list of some things that you may need in America, as you will be staying there for most of the year.

Many pairs of Muggle attire Notebooks Pencils or pens (a sort of odd quill that Muggles use) Your wand American Muggle money (not English money, it's a bit different) Cell phones (like owls but not)

You may bring whatever else you need, and we have already planned where you will be going. We have also booked your hotels and hotel rooms so there is no need to worry about them. Good Luck and remember, you have only got one week to pack!

Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster

Hermione put down her letter and ran to the Great Hall. In the letter, it also stated that none of them were to show that they were magical folk, or they would be pulled out of America. The other five had gotten letters too, and they were talking quietly about America. Draco was allowed to sit at their table since Dumbledore had encouraged Inter-House relations.

"So, do you have any idea how American Muggles act?" Lavender asked.

"I've heard they're extremely loud and rude. But then I've heard that they have really hot girls there!" Draco smirked.

Ginny smacked him upside the head. "You slimy git, there's more to America than hot girls, there's also-"

"Of course there's more to America than girls! There are some really cool video games there too!" Harry whispered excitedly.

Now Hermione smacked Harry upside the head. "NO! Americans have a really rich culture, which mixes practically every country in the worl-"

As Hermione went into lecture mode, everyone groaned and pretended to snore and sleep. Hermione eyed them angrily and said softly, "You guys are too much! But seriously, America is such a diverse place, I'm really excited!"

"I don't really care about culture; I just want to go shopping!" Lavender squealed excitedly. "I've got a cousin in America, and she says that they've got the best shopping, especially in California!" The three girls squealed again, and they boys rolled their eyes. Hermione could distinctly hear them mutter, "Girls.."

"Harry, what are video games?" Ron asked, scratching his head. "I've never heard of them before, well, except in Muggle Studies, but they've never really showed it to us. They just say it's a complicated Muggle device used for entertainment. What's that about?"

"Don't worry, Ron, you'll figure it out eventually." Ginny said, ruffling her brother's hair. They all laughed and went back to their common rooms to start packing. Ginny, Hermione, and Lavender went to the Gryffindor Girls Dormitory and the boys went to the Boy's Dorms (a/n DURH!).

Over the years, Draco Malfoy had become friends with the Gryffindors, much to his father's dislike. After their Fourth year, Dumbledore had declared that you were not to sit at House Tables, and he encouraged Inter-House relations. Because of Dumbledore's actions, Malfoy had become friends with Gryffindors.

Later that day, everyone had finished packing (O_O Record time!), so they informed Dumbledore. He told the six that they could leave within the next few days, and they decided to leave in two days.
