THE WIZARD OF OZ (hehe, funny.....)

This is a bit of a joke.. (like our other stories).. Neway, because we are from Oz, we all wondered if Harry and his friends could survive in the harsh Australian land with its sunburn and lazy, rude dinkum Aussies!

NOTE: DO NOT JUDGE ALL AUSTRALIANS BY THESE CHARACTERS! We are not that bad..really..



"Exchange? What's that? Is that where you get a present from someone and give them one back??" Harry was confused when McGonagall mentioned student exchange.

"Yes Potter, that's exactly it. 10 points for Gryffindor! Now, who would like to go on exchange?"

Everybody's hand shot up, including Hermione's. When everyone saw that, all hands went back down. Harry and Ron were too slow so,

"Granger, Weasley and Potter. Perfect. You'll be going to Australia," said McGonagall.

"Damn!" said Harry and Ron.

"10 points from Gryffindor! How rude!" McGonagall shouted.

10 DAYS LATER, ON THE WAY.

"I know all about Australian's. They're really nice and polite. I read that in 'Hogwarts:A History'," Hermione boasted.

"Please be quiet," said Harry politely.
