Chapter 5

*******

Draco woke up the next morning, startled. He looked around and spotted a tawny eagle owl tapping softly on the window. He got up quickly, opened the window and let the owl in. The owl landed on a nearby table and stuck its leg out, which had an enveloped stamped with the Hogwarts crest. Draco grabbed the letter and read it to himself.

Dear students,
Greetings! I hope that you are all enjoying your experience so far! Believe me, it will get even better! We have decided that we will NOT be putting you on a schedule, but we will require you to do some things. Enclosed with this letter is a list of things you will either have to bring back to England or take a picture of it with you kids in it. Be sure that you get everything on this list, or you will not be permitted to do this again if we choose to do it again next year. We have also provided you with a black SUV, which is parked in The Bellmont's car garage. Also, attached to this letter is a package that contains six cell phones. Use them to keep in contact with each other. If you need any help, just press the emergency call button on the phones. For further instructions, look at the list. Have a nice trip!

Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Hogwarts Headmaster

After looking over the list, Draco knocked on Ron's door and showed him the letter, then Harry's. Draco then walked to the girl's room and was greeted by a sleepy Hermione. Her eyes were squinted and her hair was put up in a messy ponytail. She was wearing red pajama pants with little stars on them and a white spaghetti strap with a little red star in the middle.

"Draco? What are you doing here?" She glanced at the clock. "It's bloody six AM!" Draco said nothing except hold up the letter. Hermione read over it carefully and nodded.

*** {NOONTIME}

The six friends were all sitting in the boy's room doing absolutely nothing. Ginny, her little kid side kicking in, broke the silence.

"Are we going to do ANYTHING today?" She whined, pouting.

Lavender glanced at her young friend and replied disinterestedly, "Well, what do you want to do, sweetie?"

"Let's eat! Then we can go shopping! And we could start on that list thingy that Dumbledore sent us, if we can find anything on it here." Ginny answered, suddenly enthusiastic about shopping.

Everyone moved into the SUV and went in search of some good eating. They had been driving for what seemed like hours, but was really fifteen minutes, when they finally found a place.

"There!!!!!" Ron yelled a little too loudly, "McDonald's! I've never heard of it but let's go! I'm bloody hungry! I could eat a hippogriff right about now!"

"Ron," Hermione said, giggling, "You're a little overenthusiastic, aren't you?"

"Whatever."

Harry guided the SUV into the drive-through, mistaking it for a parking space. "Oops, sorry guys. Hermione, have you ever used one of these things before?" Harry asked hesitantly.

"Of course Harry! Here, move over." She squeezed herself in between the driver and passenger seats then called to the others behind her, "Hey, guys? Will you all look at that board thing in front of us? Decide on what you want then tell me so I can order for you, ok? Great."

Everyone was silent while they decided on what they wanted. Finally, Harry drove the SUV up to the speaker thingy and it spoke to them.

"Hello welcome to McDonalds may I take your order?" the machine said in a swift, robotic voice.

"Yes, hello! We'll have two ten piece chicken nugget meals with Diet Coke and a Coke, one number one with a Coke, two number sixes with a Dr. Pepper and a Mountain Dew, and one number six, no onions, and a Sprite. And can we have two extra large fries?"

"Would that be all for you today?"

"Yes."

"Great. Please drive up to the first window." The machine ordered. The SUV drove and received the delicious smelling food gratefully. Once everyone got a whiff of the food, five pairs of hands started grabbing at Harry, who held three bags of food. One pair of hand managed to poke Harry's eye, which resulted in him yelling.

"Stop it! All of you! You're acting like animals! My God! Let me drive and whoever poked me in the eye is going to pay!" He yelled, looking livid. Everyone was quiet for a moment, then five pairs of hands went for the food again. There was pinching and poking, shoving and grabbing, all of which were directed at Harry. Harry sighed and threw his hands up in defeat. He started driving back to the hotel, when Lavender interrupted.

"Hey, Harry? After we eat, can me and the girls take the car with us? We want to go shopping and we could also get some of the stuff on the list done." Lavender asked sweetly. Harry nodded his head, concentrating on the road.

**** {BACK AT THE BELLMONT}

Six satisfied sighs were heard after the McDonald's meal was attacked and eaten in less than five minutes.

Draco sighed satisfied again and said, "You know, I thought they made the best food at Hogwarts but America sure knows how to make some good eating! That was wickedly delicious, can we have it for dinner too?" He asked, practically jumping up and down from the excitement of eating delicious food again. Everyone laughed at Draco's childishness.

Ginny grabbed the keys off a table and quickly said, "Are you girls ready? I wanna get some shopping done before we leave!" The other two girls nodded and got up slowly. They waved to the boys and grabbed the list off a table.

Humming to the tune on the radio, Hermione drove around Los Angeles, looking for a good store. She then asked, "Girls, I hope y'all brought some money, because I am not paying! I hear there's lots of good stores here, so be ready fro some American fashions!" The young teens giggled and stopped at the nearest store, Starry.
