Chapter 2- The Announcement
Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrived at the Great Hall. They walked over to the Gryfinndor table where they met Dean Thomas, and Seamus Finnigan.
"Hi Harry! How was your summer?" Asked Seamus. "It was great! I stayed with Ron." Harry said.
Ron looked nervously around the Great Hall. "I wonder when the feast is going to start! I'm starving!" He said anxiously. Hermione looked disturbed, "Gosh Ron, you are such a pig!" She said
A few minutes passed and Professor Dumbledore has started his speech. The first years were in the front of the hall. Dumbldore stood up and said, "Welcome to Hogwarts first years. We hope you have a wonderful year with us. We will now start the sorting. Minerva, if you please." He said to Professor Mcgonagall.
Mcgonagall went over to the stool where the sorting took place.
"When I read out your name, sit on the stool, and I will place the sorting hat on you. After you have been sorted, go to your house table." She said as she took out a parchment with the list of names on it.
Mcgonagall read out loud, "Tiana Rutherford.". The girl went up, she looked really nervous. The hat was placed on her head, and she was placed in Hufflepuff.
As the sorting went on, Hermione kept on catching Draco looking at her.
**Hermione's POV***
What is that ferret boy looking at?? I wonder what he's up to..
He gave me another look, and when I glared back he turned back and started whispering to Crabbe and Goyle. Harry turned and whispered to me, "Hermione are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied.
**End of POV**
After the sorting, the feast was finally starting. Food magically appeared. The 1st years "oohed, and Ahhed" at the magic appearance.
Ron's eyes widened with relief. "Finally! Thank God!" He reached out for the porkchops.
Harry took a sip of Pumpkin juice, and then helped himself to some mashed potatoes, broccoli, porkchops, and dinner rolls.
Hermione ate a baked potato, and some turkey, and chicken.
An hour passed and everybody was done eating. Once more Dumbledore stood up, and said, "This year will be a bit different. As you know we have some students here that are muggleborn. Some other students have been criticizing these muggleborns.-Draco looked around guiltying.-They do not know how fascinating the muggle world can be.-Hermione smiled.- So we are going to explore the muggle world this year! But only 4th years and up.-the hall erupted into chatters.-This will take place in San Francisco, California! We will stay at a hotel called Nugget. I must say, this trip is to be educational, therefore you will have homework. -The hall erupted into moaning and groaning, Hermione however looked very happy.-you will be able to use magic where the muggles cannot see you.. You will have to return to the hotel by 9:15 PM. You will get to explore the city with your friends, and you are to never go into the city alone. I have decided to do you all a favor and provide all your shopping needs. Money! So if you need money I will know and $100.00 will appear in your hands.
You can choose three other people to stay in a room with you. Girl or boy it doesn't matter. We will depart next week on Monday morning. Until than, you will not have any classes."
The hall erupted into cheers.
"Wow! No classes, and we get to go to Califerna!" Ron grinned. Hermione winced, "Ron its California." Ron ignored her.
"Hey, how about we all be in the same room! We could ask Ginny too!" Harry said.
Hermione and Ron lit up and said in unison, "okay!"
Everyone got up and followed the prefects to the dormitories.
A/N: How was that?? I hope it was good.. please R/R! NO FLAMES! PLEASE! Oh, and please give me suggestions on what I should have next in the next chapter. Thanks!
