Authors note: Um yeah this was just a spur of the moment fic so I may not continue it, but if people like it and review I will continue
*~Takes place during 5th year~*
"Now why are we doing this?" Harry Potter asked his friend Hermione Granger. They where currently walking down to a special class called "Family Life", It was a new class that all fifth years had to attend.
"Because it's what the headmaster want us to do. And it will expand our horizons." Hermione was a brown bushy haired girl with a knack for knowledge. Ron snorted.
"With a class on how to be a parent?! Yeah right!"
"Its important that we know how!! If we don't we won't know how to be good parents! And besides this is an important thing muggle children learn at our age!"
"Oh!" Harry cried remembering something he saw on a TV show he and Dudley saw once. "Are we gonna do that thing with the flour sack?!"
"Flour sack?" Ron asked.
"Well," Harry snickered. "The teacher of the class assigns couples and then the couples have to take care of the flour sack like it was a baby, it is also sometimes done with an egg too." He and Ron started laughing. Hermione rolled her eyes at them.
"Even if we do something like that don't you think that it would have at least some magic involved?"
"Er……………………………………"
"Ah…………………………………."
"Honestly you two are so naïve," Hermione muttered. The finally reached the classroom they where supposed to be at. They walked inside and groaned when they saw that the Slytherians were there, Draco Malfoy and his gang where sitting near the back of the classroom looking bored. Harry, Ron and Hermione, wanted to keep their distance took seats near the front of the room. More students came into the room and soon it was filled with all of the 5th year students from all the houses. The proffesor walked in, Hermione recognized him as the Muggle Studies teacher.
"Hello I am Professor McCann[1], I will be your "teacher" for this class. I suppose you are all wondering why you are taking this class, well I'll tell you. In the height of You-Know-Who's return the Headmaster believes it's the important to know how to be part of a family.
So, in this class there is only one thing you have to do, you have to be a parent or a child. What do I mean by that? You will be divided into groups of three, families, one boy and one girl will pose as parents, the other person will be turned into a child by magic. It is the job of the "parents" to watch and take care of the "child"." If you do a good job of taking care of the "child" you pass, if you don't well you know the drill. Will we start the project in two days tomorrow you will find out your groups and the day after you will start the actual "being a family" part. Now any questions?" Hermione raised her hand.
"But sir, wouldn't the person who becomes the child just act good for the grade?"
"No, the person is a child not only in body but in mind as well."
"Will we be staying in the castle?"
"No, we have prepared some "houses" in Hogsmeade that you will stay in."
"How long does this last for?"
"One month."
"Do we have other school work?"
"No, you are exempt from all your classes for the month."
"Could we be with some one from another house?"
"Yes you could. Now class dismissed!" Everyone began filing out of the classroom, talking about what they had to do.
"This is awful," Harry groaned. "With luck like mine I'll probably get stuck with Pansy Parkinson!"
"Aw don't worry Harry I don't think that will happen, and just think of it this way, no divination!" Ron said trying to cheer Harry up. Harry smiled.
"Yeah you're right I guess it won't be so bad."
"Well what ever the circumstances it's certain this will be one interesting class," Hermione stated. Harry and Ron nodded in agreement.
