The next day, everyone was seated in the rec. room waiting for Arabella to come up.

"Harry, why can't you just explain all this stuff to us?" asked an impatient Ron.

"Because the Dursleys didn't teach me all of this and I've been attending wizard school for the past four years, so I forgot some of it," answered Harry.

Hermione shook her head.  "You're both ridiculous.  Ron, Harry doesn't know everything, Arabella is also older so she knows more, and Harry, you can't forget what a pen is."

Fred and George laughed.  "Hermione stop being so logical.  We are still on break so relax and smile," said Katie.

"Unfortunately she's right Granger," Pansy said.

"Who invited you into this conversation Parkinson?" asked Angelina, annoyed that someone could be so rude.

"I was just commenting!"

"Well keep your puggy nose out of it!" screeched Katie.

"What did you say?!?!" asked Pansy even though she had heard Katie perfectly well.

"You heard her bitch!" exclaimed Angelina.

"Cat fight!" Fred called out.

Katie, Pansy, and Angelina turned and looked at Fred.  "SHUT UP!" the three yelled in unison.

They looked at each other horrified.  "We agreed on something," said an amazed and stunned Katie.  Nor was she the only one with this reaction.

Arabella walked into the rec. room to see 14 stunned teenagers.

She cleared her throat several times before they paid attention to her.

"Everyone, I'm going to teach you what things are and how to use them."  She reached into her pocket and pulled out a few pens.  "These things are called pens.  You write with them."

"Where is the ink well?" asked Draco.

"There is ink inside of the pen.  Once the pen runs out of ink you throw it away and use a different one.  There are different colours to pens.  Some are multi-coloured; some are red, orange, blue, light blue, black, green, pink, purple, etc…  Some shimmer, and others smell.  Some have different grips, some have more ink then others, and some have caps or a clicky top."

"Cool."

"How to you get rid of mistakes?" asked Lee.

Arabella reached into a bag at her feet and pull out a bottle, some tape, and a pen.  "This is three different forms of white out.  The pen and the white out in the bottle are wet at first and then dry after used.  The tape you roll over your mistakes."

"Oh, ok," said Lee.

Arabella than pulled out eight objects from the bag.  She held up the first three.  "These are pencils.  You write or draw with them.  Erase something if it is wrong using the erasers.  There are three different erasers.  There is usually one on the pencil, a rectangular one, and one that is cylinder shaped.  There are three different pencils.  One is a regular pencil, which you sharpen with a sharpener."  She held up a sharpener and demonstrated.  "The other two which you will use are mechanical pencil where you insert the lead into the pencil.  There are two different types of lead that you will use.  0.7mm lead fits into a mechanical pencil that says '0.7mm'on the side.  Some with the 0.5mm lead and the 0.5mm pencil."

"What do you use a pencil for?" asked Ginny.

"Like I said before, write and drawing.  Math, writing stories, etc…"

For the next two hours, Arabella explained highlighters, paper, staplers, electricity, alarm/electric clocks, stereos, phones, TV, a disco ball, muggle music ("It sounds so much like wizard music!" "Hey, didn't the Weird Sisters sing this?" "I thought a wizard singer wrote that song!") and muggle money and currency.

"…  The last thing you need to know how to use is a computer."  Arabella pointed at three tables on the right wall where nine black 'Dell's sat (three on each table).  "There are also five computers in the study room."

Arabella walked over to the middle table and sat in the chair in front of one of the computers.  "Everyone crowd around."

Everyone walked over to her and stood so that they could see her.

Arabella pushed a button.  "The button that I just pushed turns the computer on.  This button," she pushed in a button on the screen, "turns the screen on.  You can have the screen on when the computer is off, and you can have the screen off when the computer is on."

For the next three hours, Arabella explained how to listen to music, use the internet, and play games, use word, windows, and many other things on the computer.

She explained how the mouse worked.  ("Won't a cat go after the mouse?")

"That's it.  I want all of you to read all your muggle and magical study text books by September 3.  School starts September 5.  Good day.  Lunch will be zapped up in a moment."   Arabella was about to leave when she remembered something.  "Oh, by the way, the doors to the right of the stair case," she said pointing to the doors, "lead into a practice room.  In there you can throw spells at the wall and the spell will rebound so that you can practice.  There is also a simulation in there where you can make a fake opponent to duel against."  Arabella turned away and left.

"Potter, I must say, even with all the muggle things, your house is pretty neat," said Draco.

Everyone looked at Draco in astonishment.  Draco Malfoy had just complimented Harry, or more specifically, Harry's house. 

"Draky, are you ok?" asked Pansy.

"Yes.  Why do you ask Pansy?" he answered.

"Because you said something nice to Potter."

"So?  It was a once in a life time thing."  With that, Draco shrugged and took out one of his text books and started to read it.

All the Gryffindors looked at each other in shock.  This day was definitely weird.  First Pansy had agreed with Katie and Angelina, than Malfoy had said something nice!

~

(Monday, September 4th, 7:30 pm.)

Ron, Hermione, Harry, Dean, Lori, and Ginny where sitting in the area to the left of the dance floor.

"School starts tomorrow!" Ron wailed.

"I wish we were at Hogwarts this year," said Ginny.

"We are," Dean said.  Everyone with him looked at him.  "Sorta.  I mean we are with McGonagall, Snape, and Ms. Black, even though she wasn't at Hogwarts.  We are learning magic and can use it.  And we are boarding."

"Dean's right," said Harry.  "It is almost like Hogwarts, minus the rules, other students, robes, uniform, and Slytherins."  The last part Harry said in a whisper for Draco and Pansy weren't too far away from where they sat.

"I wonder what they are doing with the first years?" a curious Lori wondered.

"Who knows.  But, you must admit, going to muggle high school for a year will be fun.  And think, we can use magic at school," said Hermione.

Everyone looked at her.  Hermione, considering using magic in front of muggles? Unbelievable.

"Herm, you feeling alright?" Harry asked.

"Yes, I'm qui…"  Hermione never finished for everyone in the rec. room heard a tapping at the window and looked over to the window.  Pig and Morgana (Hermione's new owl) stood on the windowsill.

Hermione walked over to the window and let them in.  Pig flew over to Ron, gave him an affectionate peck and then flew to Ron, Dean, and Draco's room.  Morgana flew onto Hermione's waiting arm, where Hermione stoked her black feathered back.

Hermione walked back to her seat…

*

"Draco, do you know why we have to go to muggle school this year?" Pansy asked for the 20th time since Draco had arrived.

"Probably because of Voldemort," was his answer as he stared at the people by the dance floor.

Pansy cringed.  Nobody said the Dark Lord's name, not even his followers.  Well except people high up, but they still said 'Lord' before they would say 'Voldemort'.

"Why did you say that?" she hissed.

"Pansy?" he asked, turning to look at her.  "Do you believe what Voldemort is doing is the right thing?"

She stared at him.  Draco Malfoy, son of Lucius Malfoy, one of the head Death Eaters, seemed to not believe what the Dark Lord was doing was the right thing to do.

"Draco, I… um… I… I'm not sure any more."

Draco gave her a look asking her to continue.

"I think the magical community would be better off without mudbloods."  Draco glared at her with disgust.  "I mean, I think the magical community would be better off without muggle-borns running in it.  The muggle community that doesn't know about us is ok because their things are pretty cool, but magic and muggle shouldn't mix."

"What about Squibs and half-borns?" questioned Draco.

"Well… um… Squibs… half-borns."

"That's what I thought you'd say."  Pansy looked at him.  "Pansy, do you like torturing and killing people?  Squibs marry magical people or muggles, therefore if they marry a muggle, their child could be magical.  Half-borns are part magic and part muggle."

"I see what you are saying.  I don't like to hear the screams and see the limp bodies.  Draco, we have to help fight Voldemort!"

Draco looked shocked at Pansy's quick (or not so quick) turn.  "You sure about this?  Because if you are, than all we have to do is write Dumbledore, or tell one of the teachers tomorrow."

Pansy nodded.  She had to do this.  "Draco this is something I have to do.  I'm not sure about you, but I will write Dumbledore."  She looked at Draco.  "And Draco," she said staring at him, "I don't care if you really are with Voldemort because if you tell him and he comes to kill me."  She took a breath.  "I'll know that I died fighting for the good and right side."

Draco and Pansy looked shocked at what she had just said.  "Do you remember the history text book?" she asked.

Draco nodded his head.

"Voldemort, the Death Eaters and this war remind me of the section on World War II with Hitler and the Nazis."

"You're right.  It is like that."

"Sirius, tomorrow they start school," said Arabella that night in their room.

"Hmm."

"Do you know why Dumbledore sent them to muggle school this year?"

"I can only guess," was the sleepy reply.

"And your guess is?"

"So that they learn to work together, separate them so less people get hurt if Voldemort attacks.  There are thousands of other reasons for his chose," answered Sirius.

"Have they contacted you yet Sirius?" asked Arabella.

"No.  They said they would contact him first, than us."  With that, Arabella and Sirius went to sleep.

~

(The next day.  7:30 am)

"Up.  Everyone up!" yelled Arabella into the magical intercom that went to each room.  She had agreed to wake them up the first morning.

~

(Kitchen – 30 minutes later)

"Ron can you pass the syrup?" asked Angelina.

The teenagers had decided that for one week, someone would make breakfast (with or without magic).  The next week someone else would make breakfast, and so on, and so on.  For their lunches, they all decided to buy on the first day.

"Of course."  Ron handed the syrup to Lori, who than passed it to Angelina.

Breakfast continued on like this until everyone was finished eating.

After everyone was done, they headed upstairs to brush their teeth, pocketed their wands, and grab their bags which they had packed the night before with everything they would need for the year.  They had enlarged the bag magical on the inside so that everything would fit into it and had put a feather light spell on their bags.

They all walked down stairs to see Arabella waiting for them at the door.

"A few more things," she said.  "I want you to all walk to school together this week."

Draco and Pansy groaned.

"I want you all to come home right after school today.  I want all of you to come home together.  I want you all to buy lunch in the school cafeteria."

"Why?" Ron asked.

"I want you to do all this because Voldemort is out there."

Most of the people cringed.

"One more thing."  Arabella smiled.  "There are two motorcycles in the garage that you are not to touch.  The both have a spell on them so that only the owner can touch them.  If you have permission from either Sirius or Harry to ride their bikes, they most activate the bike and then tell the bike that you will be riding it.  Oh, and Harry."

Harry looked up, as did everyone else.  "Sirius will be giving you your lessons on how to ride your bike tomorrow when you get home.  Good bye everyone."

As they walked out the door Arabella handed them each a house key saying that only they could use it so if it got loss or found its way into the wrong hands, the key wouldn't work.  She also told them that the key opened any entrance to the house.

~

(Walking to School)

Pansy and Draco stayed at the back of the group talking in hushed whispers.  Fred, George, Lee, Angelina, Alicia, and Katie talked loudly in the middle of the group with the occasional question ("What's that?" "Harry, you really have a motorcycle?" "Does it fly?"  "What's that?" "How much longer?" "Are we there yet?") to Harry, Lori, and Hermione.  Hermione, Ron, Dean, Harry, Ginny, and Lori were at the front of the group talking about school, muggle things, magical things, and, of course, quidditch.

After fifteen minutes of walking, Harry finally spotted the school and stopped.

"Everyone, we are here!" he yelled.

Everyone stopped to looked up at the large, red brick building.  It had a garden in the front, filled with flowers, trees, bushes, and hedges.  There were four large steps leading up to the school.  At the top of the steps were four pillars that held up a covering over the entrance to the double doors which lead into the school.

"This small thing is where we are going to school?" asked Draco with a smirk.

"Yes.  There are currently 240 students attending this school.  There are 3 classes in each grade, 20 people in each class," said Harry.  "Let's go in."

As they were walking up the steps a group of people stopped in front of them and turned around.  Harry and everyone else stopped.

"Well, well, well.  If it isn't Potter," spat the person than looked like the leader of the group.

Harry was standing on the second step up, making him look shorter than he actually was.

"What do you what Polkiss?" asked Harry.

Fred, George, and Lee stared to laugh.  "His name is Polkiss, Harry?"

Harry nodded.

"So, Polkiss, you kiss poles often?" they asked, smiling.

Piers Polkiss had the face of a rat and was rather scrawny.  He looked confused at what Fred, George, and Lee had just asked.

Someone from behind Piers walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.

"Thanks Smith," he said to the person who was wearing baggy clothes and a hood that covered their face.  He turned to the wizards and witches (not knowing that they were) and said, "So you think my last name is funny, do you?"

Lee grinned.  This was fun.  "Yup."

"Why I oughta…" he said as he made his hands into fists.

"Now, now.  You see Polkiss, we," Katie pointed to Fred, George, Lee, Angelina, Alicia, and herself, "Are in grade 12.  We rule the school."  She than pointed to all the 10th graders.  "And they are our friends as well as them."  She pointed to Ginny and Lori.  "If you hurt any of them, which I doubt you could do, you will have hell."  She smiled sweetly.

Harry, Draco, Ron, Fred, and George walked up the rest of the steps until they all towered over Piers at the top step.

"Don't messssss with usssss!" hissed a scary looking Draco.

Piers looked at him and the other guys surrounding him.  "Yea, sure, whatever," he said as he pushed his way out of the circle.

Harry looked over to where Piers had walked off to, and saw Piers talking to none other than Dudley Dursley himself.

Harry groaned.  He was stuck at a muggle school with Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Dudley Dursley, Piers Polkiss, 'Smith', Dennis, Malcolm, Gordon (Dudley's other friends from the first book except Smith), Snape, and McGonagall.  Could this be any worse?

"Harry, what's wrong?" asked Hermione.

"See the miniature pig whale over there?" asked Harry pointing to Dudley.

"Harry, that's not a nice thing to say!" exclaimed Hermione as she nodded her head.

"Well, that's my cousin Dudley and his gang of friends who used me as a punching bag until Hogwarts."

Fred, Ron, and George snickered loudly.  Unfortunately, Dudley heard them and waddled over to them.  Everyone but Hermione started to laugh.

"Potter, you're related to him?" asked Draco still laughing.

"Unfortunately, yes." Harry sighed.

By now, Dudley had reached them. 

"Well, it's the freak and his body guards," sneered Dudley.

Harry turned his back on Dudley and said to everyone, "Everyone, meet Dudley Dursley, my whale of a cousin."

Everyone, except Hermione (again), laughed.  Dudley just stood there staring at them not getting what Harry meant.

"What?" Dudley asked stupidly.

Smith yet again came up to them and then whispered something in Dudley's ear.

"You called me a WHALE!" he shouted in outrage.

He swung this fist back and was about to punch Harry, when a deep, cold, and familiar voice sounded from behind him (his back was to the doors) said, "Mr. Dursley, it is the first day of school and you are already in a fight?"

Dudley turned around.  "How do you know me?  This is my first day at this school," was his stupid answer.

"That may be so, but the teachers at this school know every student by picture and name."

"No wonder teachers are so grumpy at the beginning of the year," said Fred causing all the magic students to snicker.

"Mr. Weasley I am still standing here," said the teacher.

The magical students recognized the silky voice.  "Professor?" asked Malfoy, cautiously eyeing the man in front of him that was wearing a black shirt and black pants.

Harry gulped.  He was going to get into trouble with Snape even before school started.  Great!

Severus Snape was a tall man with a crocked and hooked nose.  His cold black eyes seemed even colder in the daylight which he was so rarely seen in at Hogwarts.  His long arms were placed crossed on his chest as he smiled at Draco.

This smile made everyone but Draco shiver.  "Mr. Malfoy I presume.  I am not sure how you addressed teachers at your old school but here we use Mr. and Ms.  I am Mr. Snape, you chemistry teacher.  If you take it."

He glared at the Hogwarts students.  "Well, what are you waiting for?  In."  Snape stepped away from the door to let everyone enter the building.

Once the Hogwarts students entered the building, they looked around, for they didn't know what to do.

"Mr. Potter and friends."  Harry looked around to see Ms. Black standing to his left waving them over.

"Come on," he murmured to the others.  Everyone followed him as he led the way over to Ms. Black.

When they reached her, she handed them their schedules and their classes' regular schedule, which they looked at.  (A/N:  They got a schedule with all of their classes and the schedule of their classmates who don't have the magic classes and have four other classes.)

 "Lori and Ginny your homeroom teacher is Mrs. Kris.  Her room number is 108 on the first floor.  Grades 10s your homeroom teacher is Mr. Conger.  His room is number 207 on the second floor.  Grade 12s your homeroom teacher is Ms. McGonagall.  Her room is number 117 on the first floor."  She handed them each a piece of muggle paper with two separate codes in it.  "The first number is your locker number.  The first number in that code tells you what floor and the rest of the numbers tell you what number your locker is on that floor.  The second code is the combination to get into your locker.  Right-left-right," she explained.  "One last thing.  If anyone asks you what school you come from say 'Higshort.'  It's a real school.  Now off to homeroom.  All of you."

Harry, Hermione, Dean, Ron, Pansy, and Draco headed for the stairs.  Once they got to the second floor (there are only two) they looked around for where they should go.

Harry looked to his right where he saw two girls with their backs towards him.  "I'm going to ask them if they can help us.  I'll be back soon."

Harry walked up to one of the girls and tapped her on the shoulder.

The girl turned around and faced Harry.  She had amazing yellow eyes that looked like they glowed against her tanned skin; her hair was a curly raven black that was pulled up it a bun.  She was about 5'3" and was thin.

"Yes?" she questioned.

"Umm, do you know were Mr. Conger's room is?" he asked.

"Why?"

"My friends (Yea right, Draco and Pansy are still there) and I are new to the school and we're not sure where to go."

"Oh ok.  Mr. Conger's class you say?"  When Harry nodded she continued.  "Right.  Go to the end of this hall and turn right.  Go down that hall until classroom 207."

The second girl smiled at him.  She had dark brown hair that went a little past her shoulders.  She had light brown eyes that where almond-shaped.  She seemed to stand at 5'5", had light bronze skin and was of average build.  She was wearing red sweat pants with 'Kiss My A**' written in black across the butt.  The black tank top had red writing that said 'Does it look like I could care?'.  "I could bring you there.  I'm in his homeroom this year.  Are you?"

"Yea, me and my friends are.  I'm Harry."

She giggled.  "I'm Saffron and this is Rayne." She introduced.

Harry thanked her, collected the others and they headed off for homeroom following Saffron.

"Here it is.  I'll go in and tell Mr. Conger that you are here.  See you soon."

Saffron opened the door and walked into the room leaving Dean and Draco to stare after her until the door closed.

Draco whistled.

"Close your mouths and put your eyes back into your heads boys," said Hermione to Dean and Draco.  "You act as if you've never seem a girl before."

"Not one like that," said Dean.

Pansy and Hermione both smacked Dean.  "Hey!" they said.

"Ready to go in?" asked Hermione.

Everyone nodded.

Hermione opened the door to room 207 to find the room already full.  She nodded her head to Harry and Ron and walked in with everyone following her.

* (First Person… Draco)

As we entered the muggle classroom than was called our homeroom, I felt everyone stare at us.  I'm not sure why though.  It was either because we were new, what had happened with Potter's cousin everyone knew about, we came in as a group, or just because the students had nothing better to train their eyes on.

I watched as Potter stopped which made all of us stop.

A man, who I hadn't seen at the first glance of the room, came out from behind his desk.

"Everyone, these six students go to a boarding school in Ireland than will be under construction this year so they all came to this high school.  Please show them around and answer their questions the best you can.  Thank you."  He nodded his thanks to the class that was seated.  He turned to us.  "Please tell us your name and a bit about yourselves."

Potter nodded, fixed us all with a stare that said 'Do NOT mess up!' and turned towards the class.  "My name is Harry Potter.  I detest chemistry with a passion; I love gym.  I don't study a lot but I get good grades.  I find history very boring.  I also like spending time with my friends."

"My name is Hermione Grange.  I also hate chemistry.  I dislike most sports, and I love to read and study."  Granger stepped back and allowed Thomas to go next.

"Hi everyone.  My name is Dean Thomas and I hate chemistry but love gym.  My favourite sport is football, even if my school doesn't offer it.  Harry," he said turning back to look at us.  "We should suggest it."

Potter wasn't too happy about that and went up to Dean, smacked the back of his head and dragged him back.  He nodded his head towards me and I stepped forward.

"My name is Draco Malfoy.  I dislike all the people that have already introduced themselves.  I love chemistry."  Granger gave me an approving nod for getting it right.  "I love gym and beating up Potter; and I don't want to be here."  I stepped back and Weasley stepped forward with a scowl.

"Hi.  My name is Ron Weasley and I hate chemistry and love gym.  What else is new?"  This caused the muggles to laugh.  As I looked around the class, I saw that most of the girls were staring at Weasley, Potter, Thomas, and me with curiousity and at Pansy and Granger with jealousy.

Pansy pushed Weasley out of the way and stepped up.  "Hi, my name is Pansy Parkinson and I like chemistry and watching sports."

There, we were all done with introductions.  YAY!

The teacher asked us to take our seats and we went right to the back.  "Now that everyone is settled, you may go to your lockers."

* (Third Person)

When they got to their lockers, they found out that they were all right beside each other.

As they took their never ending supply of books out of their bag, Ron asked, "What do we have first?"

"Umm," Hermione took out her list and checked the first day, "This is an interesting schedule.  It only has two days on it."  She read the first class to them.  "History with McGonagall."

Ron, Dean, and Harry snorted. 

"What?" Hermione glared.

"Never mind," suggested Harry seeing that Hermione wasn't in the best of moods.

Draco took out his charms book that had been disguised.  "What do we have for the rest of the morning Granger?" he snarled.

"Umm," Hermione's finger trailed down the schedule.  "Chemistry with Snape and that should be interesting.  And… Drama with Jertrul.  I have no idea who that is."

Someone tapped Ron on the shoulder.  He turned around.

"Hi, my name is Rebecca and I would be honoured to show you around the school," she said pointedly to Ron.

Rebecca was a little short, and probably stood at 4'10".  She had bright silver eyes that were probably contacts.  She had brown hair with red highlights that reached her shoulders.  Her pale skin made Draco looked tanned or made her look like a ghost.  She was wearing low-riser blue jeans, a white halter top, and white sandals.

Ron looked the girl over.  He than glanced at Harry, who was grinning, then at Hermione, who was scowling and glaring at the two, and Dean, who was checking her out.  Dean gave him the thumbs up.

Ron shook his head.  His friends could be so ridicules at times.  "Sorry," he said to the girl, "but I would prefer to go around with my friends.  I'm sure Draco," Ron pointed Draco out to her who was trying to finish packing his bag and walk away at the same time, "Would love for you to show him around."  He gave the girl a little push towards Draco.  She giggled.

A/N: that's it people.  Remember flamers are welcomed here.

Thx so much peeps for the reviews. It brightened my day since I'm still sick. The next chapter (4) will be up relatively fast since I have already written it.

Thx to:

Enter the Red Age – Thank you so much for the review.  Conflict is on its way.  Tell me if I did a good job with your description.

Harriet Potter – That would be a good idea but then what would happen if they used magic in the school.  No memories to wipe clean and it would be like Hogwarts with just learning magic.  The point is that they also learn muggle things.  Thx for the review.

BookMaster300 – I'm not sure how someone can be magically grounded right now, but I'll come up with something or if you think of anything let me know.  She's strict 'cause she went to school with the Marauders and was Lily's friend (who in this) was like Hermione and didn't like trouble.  Thx.

Mysticpixie – Thx.

Imprisoned – Thx.

Joan – Yup, Draco's at a muggle school.  I'll explain why later.  Just remind me to for a later chapter 'cause I'll probably forget.  Thx.

magicalferret – You gave me a great idea.  Hehe.  Thx.

n.o.y.b. – Arabella is being sorta bitch but that was cause she was two weeks pregnant (one of my aunts was two weeks pregnant and she was really bitchy) so she had mood swings even if it is a little early. Thx for the review.

Mystic Queen – Thx J.

Alicorn – Thx for reading it.  Sorry I didn't review for the coffee story.  I didn't have time and I'm still sick so I didn't feel like it.  You're right about the contraction thingy.  I tried to change that in this chapter.  Tell me if it's better.  Talk to ya soon (before the year is over (school)).  Thx and Bye.

I'd also like to thx my beta reader Mistress del Mare.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter. J~Tigra
