I read a ficcy by a writer I shan't name so that they won't be embarrassed
to read this and know that I was aspiring to write like them. Anywho, here
it is! And I'll try to keep original characters out. I'm terrible about
that...
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. I wish I did, though. I mean, to know who's going to die when, and to know all the intimate details of the characters lives?! Not to mention the fact that I'd get to hang out with Tom Felton and Rupert Grint and Alan Rickman and – We are sorry for the discourse. The person writing this disclaimer has been executed and shan't be back to bore you any longer – HAHAHA! You cannot stop me! You cannot destroy me! For I am the Cockroach of LOVE!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^;;

We lay our scene at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. More specifically, this story begins in a little used out-of-the-way part of the north wing of the castle. These few rooms were reserved for the Muggle Studies students and teachers. It was the annual two-week experience that all those enrolled in Muggle Studies, and a few others who requested to join them. It was mostly a first-come-first-serve basis, but a few Galleons here or there did help.
Anywho, there were twenty students in all staying in the set of bedrooms, dens, and other such necessary rooms in a Muggle household. From Gryffindor, the people that most readers* would know by name or face included Harry Potter (of course), Hermione Granger, and Ron and Ginny Weasley. From Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, the only recognizable student was the Asian beauty, Cho Chang. And from Slytherin were Draco Malfoy and Millicent Bulstrode. So with thirteen other students, they will spend fourteen days together with no other contacts. Except, of course, for teachers to bring homework.
So on April 12, a Sunday, twenty students packed their bags, left their robes, wands, and all magical items behind, and trekked to the dusty end of the hall where their teacher, Professor Crittenden waited, a sly smile playing across his lips as he twirled a large ring of keys around his long finger. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and his sister arrived first. The two Weasleys were quizzing Harry and Hermione about Muggle ways.
"I still can't believe we can't have our wands!" Ron exclaimed, thumping his trunk on the ground.
"If Muggles had wands, they wouldn't be Muggles, Mr. Weasley," the professor said, chuckling. Ron muttered something indistinct, but it caused Hermione to jab him in the ribs.
Just then, most of the sixteen remaining students arrived, nervousness playing across most of the faces. Professor Crittenden counted heads, then opened the door behind him. He led them into a large den area. It had one television, two large couches, and four squashy looking armchairs scattered about the homey room. There were eight doors leading off the main room. Crittenden pointed to the one in the middle.
"That's the kitchen in there," he explained.
"Wait. We're cooking?" came a drawl from the hallway. The students turned simultaneously to see Draco Malfoy sauntering up to the door, a house elf lugging his trunk behind him. As he stepped over the threshold, a loud siren-like noise filled the room.
"No wands, Mr. Malfoy," the teacher reminded him, and held out his hand. Malfoy begrudgingly handed it over. Once it left his hand, the wailing ceased.
"Now, as I was about to say," Crittenden said, "you all took a short quiz on Muggle life. According to how you scored, you have received some Muggle items to make your stay more enjoyable. The only perfect scores were those of Miss Hermione Granger and Harry Potter," he finished, directing his smile at the two.
"Of course," Draco muttered. "Wonder Boy and his Mudblood."
"Why you–!" Ron started, but Harry and Hermione held him back, as usual. Draco smirked.
"Right," the professor muttered. "Room assignments!" The students groaned. "Oh, come now. Fine. Here's the list." He handed the list to Cho, who was standing at the front of the crowd. It was immediately snatched out of her hands, and people crowded round to see who they'd been stuck with. The list was as follows:
Room 1: Girls
Hermione Granger
Hannah Abbott
Ginny Weasley
Emily Nott
Room 2: Girls
Cho Chang
Millicent Bulstrode
Siri Mynde
Eve Maddax
Room 3: Boys
