So, I finally got the first real chapter up. I really appreciate the reviews I have gotten for this! Keep R&R please! Oh, and since I don't really know what year the sixth year will be set in, I am making mine set in the present.

Harry goes to America

Chapter 1 The news

Harry unpacked a little when he got to the house. Remus had told him that he could move to the master bedroom, so now he was in Sirius's old room. The pictures that Sirius had up were still there. It would be wrong to take them down, Harry had thought. Most of them were of the old Marauders, but some were of Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Harry!" Remus called from the second floor (Harry was now on the third). "Can you come here for a second?" Harry walked down the stairs to his old room, where he saw Remus. "I was getting ready to rearrange Ron's room and get rid of this old bed when I saw that letter for you, just there." He pointed to the bed. Harry walked over and picked up the letter.

"Thanks very much." Harry said as he walked out of the room. Back in his room, Harry noticed the letter was from Sirius. He slowly opened it.

Dear Harry,
If you are reading this, then there is a 90% chance I did something stupid and are dead. The other 10% is I was forgetful and I am standing over your shoulder. Hi, myself! But that is unlikely. Well, the reason I am righting this is because I have a surprise. Going on the likeliness that you have never been to America, would you like to go for a year? I pre- filled and signed an application for you if you would like to go. All you would have to do is sign on the dotted line. It is for the foreign exchange program, they have always been the best and I think you would enjoy it. Good luck and goodbye.

Love Sirius

Wow, Harry thought, America. Without hesitation he found a quill and sighed the application. It vanished as soon as the quill left the paper. An owl instantly appeared at the window with a very think envelope. Upon opening it, Harry found a letter, a sealed envelope, and a book called American History. He opened the letter.

Dear Mr. H. Potter:
We at the Ministry of Magic Foreign Exchange Program are pleased to inform you that you've been accepted into our Exchange to America program. In the envelope are your tickets. Two are round-trip from London to Washington, DC. The other two are round trip from Washington, DC to Tucson, Arizona. All are first class. There short orientations when you arrive at your hotel in DC, before you leave for Tucson, and when you arrive in Tucson.
The book you received, "American History" will need to read, for one of the classes required at your school will be American History.

It was all Harry could not to yell. He was so excited. He ripped open the tickets envelope and saw the dates. One week away.

"I see you found the note," a voice said behind Harry.

Whew, first chapter typed. Six chapters in my notebook still need to be typed. I will get them up ASAP.
