Ginny walked down the hallway, Colin beside her.

"Oh, look Gin! It's Draco!" Colin cried, not bothering to use Draco's last name.

"Huh? Whe-"Ginny stumbled into Draco and her books fell on the floor along with his. "Oops," she said as she began to pick up her backs,

"Pay attention, Weasley! It's not that hard to learn how to walk," stated Draco. Blaise came up behind him.

"Sorry," mumbled Ginny. As she stood up to hand Draco's books, she saw something.

"W-what's that on your arm?" she asked. Draco quickly covered it up with his cloak.

"Stay out of other people's business, Weasley," Draco said icily as he grabbed his books and brushed by her to get to class.

"I could've sworn," started Ginny.

"What's the matter, Kimdo?" asked Colin. Ginny's thought lost itself in her mind and she started giggling again at her new nickname.

"Nothing, Rowpot," she said.

"Rowpot? I thought my name was Colik, or was it Colibs? Or maybe Coligs?" Colin stated dizzily.

"Colin!" she said as she grabbed his hand and yanked him forward to their next class. But she was stopped at the door by Snape and ordered to go to her dorm.

Harry ripped open a note that lay on his bed as Ron and Hermione watched eagerly.

Dear Harry Potter,

You have been chosen to participate in the student-teacher program I have arranged for this year. You are to report to the Room of Requirements at 8:00 pm tonight. You know where it is. Do not be late. Everything will be explained there.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

Headmaster

Harry stared at the letter dumbfound as Hermione squealed with delight.

"Well aren't you lucky, mate," replied Ron.

"I guess. But which teacher am I stuck with?" asked Harry.

The door opened and four cloaked students walked in. Snape was sitting next to Dumbledore and the students seated themselves in front of them.

"You are all here because you have been chosen to spend the year with Severus," stated Dumbledore. One of the students in red and gold gasped.

"Snape! But you can't put me with him! He'll kill me! I'll die before I stop foot in the house! Does he even live in a house? I bet he lives in a dungeon! How can you do this to me? I want to live! He'll hand me over to Voldemort! I'll die! You hear me? I'll die!" cried Harry.

"Please calm yourself, Harry," stated Dumbledore. "You will be perfectly safe in his hands. And yes, he does have a house," he added with a hint of laughter in his voice. "Now onto the rules:

You are to ask him permission for anything just as you would ask your parents or teachers. You are allowed privacy but at a minimum for reasons that will unfold later on. You are also to confide in Severus just as you confide in your friends and family.

"You expect me to tell him everything?!" exclaimed Harry. "But Professor everything I tell him he'll tell Voldemort!" he cried.

"Calm yourself. He will not tell Voldemort anything," replied Dumbledore. The other three students sat quietly throughout all of this. "Now, let me continue:

You will each have your own rooms unless we see it necessary to join any of you. Each of you will be given a diary to keep anything in. I understand some here are not used to this, but you will have to use it. Either the dairy or confiding in Severus. It's your choice.

Now that is all I have to say. Severus, would you like to add anything?"

"Yes. You are to keep your nose out of my business. You are to view the rooms I allow you to view and not go wandering around in any other rooms-"

"Why? Are you hiding an army of death eaters in there?" cried Harry. Ever since the death of Sirius two years ago, he wasn't going to trust anyone that fast.

"No. For your information Potter I am a spy for Albus not a spy for the Dark Lord," stated Snape icily.

"Then why don't you use his name?" asked Harry irritably.

"That is none of your concern, Potter. Now allow me to continue. You are to eat what I give you-"

"And I bet you'll starve us!" broke out Harry.

"I will not tolerate any more of this, Mr. Potter. You will silence yourself immediately or I shall silence you myself," stated Snape, his eyes gleaming with evil. Harry was about to argue when he saw Snape grab his wand tightly. "I will not starve you. Any necessities you need, come to me. You want to go out with your friends and "hang out" as you kids call it, ask me first. If I find you somewhere you're not supposed to be, consequences shall be given.

"What kind of consequences?" said a new feminine voice.

"They vary depending on the student," replied Snape evilly.

'That's not fair! If I disappear and come back I bet he'd take that time to kill me!" cried Harry.

"Killing will not be allowed under my roof, Potter," argued Snape. "I am done."

"Good. Now all of you unmask yourselves," stated Dumbledore. The students had been told to mask themselves and now they removed them. Gasps sounded in the room.

"Potter! Weasley! Creevey! Professor you cannot do this to me!" cried Draco.

"I am sorry, Mr. Malfoy. I asked Albus but he would not change his mind," stated Snape, feeling sorry for his student.

"Professor please!" Draco argued.

"I think it's a good idea," said Ginny.

"You are nuts!" cried Harry.

"Look at it this way. We will gain friendships we thought were impossible and that might lead to a better life. And being able to confide in everyone is fun. Try it, Draco. You might just find yourself with more friends," she stated. Draco sneered at her and Colin laughed.

"This is going to be fun!" Colin exclaimed.

"Now that you all are aware of who are your partners, let the packing begin!" cried Dumbledore. "Everything has been packed for you. Now your diaries will be given to you now." Four diaries floated into the hands of the students.

"Blue!" cried Ginny. "I love blue!"

"Yeah!! I got pink!" cried Colin.

"Um, Coli, that's gold," Ginny said.

"Oh, yeah! I love gold!" Colin said.

"Green," stated Harry as he passed his hand over the green, leather cover. "Just like my mum's eyes," he whispered.

"Why is yours black?" asked Ginny.

"None of your business," stated Draco.

"Now for the finishing touches," stated Dumbledore as words appeared on the covers of their diaries.

"Missing Link?" cried Draco. "What on earth?!"

"Special and you know it?" said Colin. "I like it!" Everyone stared at him. "What?" Ginny giggled.

"Mine says double trouble emotions," stated Ginny. "Um, okay."

"Dreams lead to reality," mumbled Harry. He looked at Dumbledore and Dumbledore winked at him.

"Now all of these have meaning special to the owner. Your job is to make sure you fix all those sayings. They will change according to what is happening to you over your stay. You have to make sure that the words: The End do not crawl onto your diary. Make sure that the saying changes into a happy one and your job is done. If this sounds confusing, do not worry, you will understand in time. Any more questions?" asked Dumbledore.

"Do our parents know?" asked Ginny.

"Yes," replied Dumbledore. Ginny breathed a sharp intake of air.

"So explain again how this works," Draco said.

"You will spend this last year of school with Severus. Do not worry about your grades, they will not drop. They will stay the same and you will still learn everything except Severus will teach you. But if he sees that you need extra work in a subject, he will owl a teacher and ask for more work for you in that subject. You will not have school all day. You will have one subject per week for as many hours as Severus sees fit. You will be allowed to go out and shop and play when you have no work. You are not allowed to visit Hogwarts. You may owl only one friend. You must choose who-"

"That should be easy for Malfoy. He only has one friend," stated Ginny. Draco glared at her.

"I have much more friends then you will ever have!" he argued.

"Silence. You will be allowed to owl them no more then 2 times a week. Any more questions?"

"Yeah. Do we have to do this?" asked Harry angrily.

"Yes, you do. We have chosen you four for special purposes. Those will be revealed as the year goes on. Now let the fun begin!" Dumbledore took out a shoe and handed it to the four students and teacher. "This is a portkey. It will take you to the Hogwarts Express. From there you will take any other vehicle that Severus wants and continue your journey to his house."

"Um, professor, where is your house?" asked Ginny.

"Los Angeles, California," replied Snape.

"America?" exclaimed Draco. "Cool! I love that place."

"First I figure out that Snape actually has a house and doesn't live in a cave with the rest of his vampire/bat friends. Now I know it's in America! This is too much!" cried Harry.

"I am not a vampire. And it's Professor Snape to you, Mr. Potter. Now hurry up," stated Snape angrily. He was going to strangle his jolly olly headmaster for putting him in this stupid student-teacher bonding thing.

They all placed their hands on the portkey and they found themselves on the Hogwarts Express.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Another set of students unmasked themselves in Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore's presence.

There stood Hermione, Cho, Blaise, and Neville. Now isn't that an odd pairing?

Dumbledore had explained to them the rules and they were set to go. McGonagall lived in Orlando, Florida. This was going to be fun.

Hermione's diary was sea green and it said brains don't always cover up everything.

Cho's was lavender and it said pretty, popular, orphaned.

Blaise's was silver and his said believe in yourself, she wanted you too.

Neville's was yellow and the title read they might be lost, but you shouldn't be.

They touched the candy wrapper and they were in Florida already. Dumbledore didn't want them to meet Snape's crew.

The last set of students sat down in disbelief.

Professor Trelawney had been rehired for this program and near her sat Ron and Pansy.

Ron's diary was orange with the words take a closer look around you.

Pansy's was pink and it said leave him alone.

Dumbledore had only chosen two students for a reason. He didn't think she could handle more. These two were enough for her.

They touched the napkin and were on an airplane to Sydney, Australia.

And the year began.
