"I wonder why Draco didn't show up for school this year?" Hermione asked
her two friends as they enjoyed their breakfast on the crisp morning
between Halloween and Thanksgiving.
"Dunno, maybe Lucius finally decided to send him to a different school," Ron said and high-fived Harry.
"But wouldn't that be in the news or something?" asked Hermione. Ron and Harry looked at each other and shrugged.
"Well, this should be a brilliant year," Ron said, "we're sixteen!"
"Yeah, my mum and dad bought me a car since I did so well on my owls," Hermione told them.
"Really?" said Ron, "That's awesome!"
"Well guys, we'd better get going, we've got Care of Magical Creatures first this morning." Harry said.
When they got down to Hagrid's hut, Hagrid was nowhere to be seen. However, there stood another giant, very handsome and clean-shaven.
"Who is that?" Harry asked. Lavender and Padma were looking at the man and giggling. Then the person spoke,
"Hello, class, how do y'like me new look?" said the man and at once everyone realized that was indeed Hagrid.
"Hagrid?" Hermione asked as everyone gasped.
"Yeah, last week I got a terrible case a the horsefly beard nits an' everyone knows the only thing you can do for those is shave it all off, so I took my ol' garden shears and cut my beard." Hagrid explained. Then he started the lesson, which was feeding the deadly sharperoothpics. They were sort of like bumble bees with their stingers, but the size of a large gray squirrel. The only way to calm them was to scream in Spanish and then shove the food in their keyhole mouths. The whole class found it quite ridiculous and it was a good thing Draco was not there.
After Care of Magical Creature, they had a class called Muggle Exploration, a course recently added. The teacher was a girl called Angie Grace and she was a bit wild. She came from deep in the Caribbean on a private island and told them to call her Grace.
"Hey kids, guess what, we'll be doing a little study on roller skates for the next few days. Now can anyone tell me what roller skates are?" she asked them.
Hermione raised her hand. "Roller skates are similar to shoes but with wheels on them. You use them to wheel around." She said. Then whispered to Harry and Ron, "I had a pair when I was little,"
"Sounds like fun," everyone agreed. So Grace took out two roller skates. "Who wants to try first?" Harry waved his hand furiously in the air. "Harry? Go ahead!" Grace said. So Ron strapped on the skates and pushed off from the desk. He went skating around the room. Then all of a sudden he saw a piece of green yarn in front of him. Harry went flying out of control and wheeled out the door. He then went down the steps, into the great hall, and out onto the grounds. The whole class was running behind him. A moving car running into him finally stopped him. A hooded figure was driving. Harry lay dazed on the ground. Lavender and Padma were laughing. "Yarnaphobiac!" they called him. "Hey, that's my car!" Hermione screamed. She picked up one of Harry's skates and threw it at the person driving, hitting the windshield. The masked person got out of the car and booked it across the grounds. Meanwhile Harry woke up and all the girls were calling him Yarnaphobiac except for Hermione who was chasing the car thief. Hermione finally jumped and tackled the thief and pulled off his mask. It was Draco. Hermione got a puzzled look on her face and then passionately kissed him.
"Oooh..." said the class, "Ahhh..."
