~*~In the Head Boy and Girl's Suite~*~

"Hey, Draco, would you like a pumpkin smoothie?" Ginny asked her new friend that was lounging on the couch reading a book. She was at her desk starting the planning of a new project.

"What's a smoothie?" They were becoming fast friends these past two weeks.

"Never mind. I'll just make you one." She said, transfiguring her box of tissues into a blender. She conjure ice and pumpkin juice and poured it all ento the blender. She started the machine.

"What in the bloody hell is that?" Draco screamed.

"It's a blender." Ginny said when she turned it off. She poured the mixture into two glasses and she Wingardium Levioso-ed it to Draco.

"Wow! This is marvelous! Is this a muggle invention?" Draco cried, getting pale orange froth on his nose.

"Yes. Now aren't muggles geniuses?" Ginny asked, giggling.

"Yes they are. Now I know why your dad is such a muggle freak."

"Mum thinks he's crazy too. But she loves smoothies."

"How is the Field Trip going, Gin?" He said, getting off the couch to come over to the desk.

"Scrougify." She said and instantly the glasses were clean. "It's going all right. Do you have all he groups made up?"

"Um, I have all the fifth years done."

"You should have all of them done! It's been two weeks!" Ginny cried.

"Of course I have all of them done. I am not Head Boy for nothing."

"Oh, you." Ginny said, giggling.

"This is going to be a long three weeks." Draco sighed.

"Oh, come off it. It will be fun. Me, you, Hermione."

"And Professor Snape." Draco said, smiling.

"Yes, well, I don't know how you and Hermione like him so much. He seems like a nasty git to me."

"He really isn't." Draco insisted.

"I'll figure that one out for myself, thank you." Ginny said.

With that, Hermione and Professor Snape came through the portrait hole.

"Hi everyone. Severus is here to help us plan what everyone needs to take." Hermione said . Snape was smiling.

"I don't know what the hell Granger has done to him." Draco muttered so low only Ginny could hear.

"Lets sit around the fire and write out a list." Hermione suggested.

"I'll make some coffee." Ginny said, transfiguring the same box of tissues.

"Nice idea." Draco said, picking up a scroll of parchment.

"Are these all muggle places, Professor?" Ginny asked.

"Severus." He said.

"What?"

"Call me Severus. And yes, these are all muggle places. The week before we leave, you will learn how to transfigure your robes and other objects into muggle clothing. Each group will have a 500 galleon food allowance. Other than that you can bring other pocket money."

"Loads of shopping." Hermione said, sipping her coffee.

"Yes. And all of the hotel accommodations have been made." Severus said, also drinking his coffee. Black coffee, typical. He was dressed this morning in casual clothing, a pair of dragon skin pants and a tight black tee shirt. He didn't look his thirty eight years. He looked about twenty five.

"Are you all ready to get going or not?" Draco said impatiently.

"Yes, just let me go to my room and pick up some pocket money." Hermione said. They were all dressed in muggle attire. Draco had borrowed a pair of black pants from Severus and magically altered them to fit. He also had on a Slytherin green turtleneck sweater. His hair was hanging loose, like Severus' but his was shorter and a brilliant white-blonde. Ginny was looking equally as stunning in a pair of very baggy camouflage pants and a white long sleeved shirt. Her hair tumbled down her back and it was almost as long as Hermione's.

"I'm ready." Hermione said, bounding down the stairs. Her curls had taken on a 1940's look and gracefully flowed to her hips. She had on a pair of simple jeans and a green EMO style top that matched well with her hair.

"You look very nice, Hermione." Severus whispered to her. She turned red and opened the portrait hole for Ginny and Draco.

"Thank you. You look very nice as well." it was his turn to blush. They went outside Hogwarts and to the final gate.

"We're going to apparate from here. I am assuming that you know how to apparate, Draco." Severus said.

"I know how to also." Ginny said.

"What about you, Hermione?" Draco asked.

"I had an accident over the summer and I splinched myself. I don't like doing it any more."

"Ewwww." Ginny said, turning slightly green.

"It's ok, I just lost my legs and fingers."

"Just your legs and fingers?!"

"Yes. It didn't hurt though."

"Well, I suppose I will apparate with Hermione and you will go separately?" Severus said.

"Yes that's fine." Hermione said.

"We're going to apparate to the Leaky Cauldron, all right?"

"Ok," Draco and Ginny said.

"You two go first." Severus said. The two of them closed their eyes and they faded out of sight until they heard a pop. "All right Hermione, you need to hold on to me."

"Where?" She asked slyly. Fortunately Severus did not catch the innuendo.

"Just hug me." he said. She put her arms around his neck and he pulled her closer by the waist. She was almost as tall as him, and he was by no means a short man.

Hermione heard a pop and with that they were facing Draco and Ginny in the Leaky Cauldron.
