Harry was quite the happy person. There was no doubt that he and Candice were in love. She was always smiling and was always cheerful. It was a pity to both of them when they couldn't spend the next week together.

The 6th years were packed and set, ready to go to Asia. Or more specifically, China...

Almost everyone was at the edge of their seats. They were going to travel there by coach.

The word "coach" is so normal. But it wasn't as normal as you'd think. When it arrived, everyone was surprised to see that it came from the lake.

It opened revealing only our two favorite bus drivers, Stan and Ernie.

'There 'e is, Ernie! What'd I tell ya? 'Arry Potter!' said Stan who was obviously ecstatic.

Harry chose to ignore this. He couldn't go with Candice because she was 4th year. So he had no choice but to go with Ron, Lavender and to his discomfort and hers, Hermione.

The coach started to move back to the lake. It would be weird to a busload of people but not to a busload of witches and wizards.

As it entered the water, they were saying their "ooo"s and "ahh"s. It was fascinating to see so many creatures underwater.

Harry had been here before in his 4th year but it seemed to blurry to really appreciate it.

Besides, it was a near life and death experience to him.

The coach's front lights made it look clearer. At one point, they saw the giant squid.

'It will be a very long ride to Asia. I suggest that you all call it a night.' said Ernie, while driving. They were now in a cavern of some sort, still under water.

Harry couldn't sleep. He's been thinking about something a lot recently and decided he should do it.

Hermione had trouble sleeping as well. She turned back and saw Harry writing something on a piece of paper. She secretly stared at him, knowing she'd never get him back.

When Harry finished his letter, he put it in his pocket. And looked around, everyone was asleep, even Professor McGonagall was asleep.

His eyes fell on Hermione, who was now asleep. He sighed. If only you were still mine. He thought.



'Harry, get up! We're here! C'mon mate!' said Ron, shrugging him. He opened his eyes and only to be blinded by the sunlight.

'What time is it?' he asked, sleepily.

'Can't tell you now, they're all leaving!'

Harry got up and went out of the coach, still dazed. His things were in the back so he went to get it.

As he took his small luggage, Hermione's bag tore open. It took him mere seconds to decide whether or not to help her. He was going to when;

'Need some help, beautiful?' asked Chris.

Harry narrowed his eyes at him and turned.

Hermione saw Harry's narrowed eyes and thought of how much he hated her. She looked up at Chris and said, 'Uh, sure. Thanks. And it's Hermione!' she said.

Chris helped her up and fixes her bag. It took quite long and when they finished, Professor McGonagall had her eyes on them quite scarily.

Harry walked alone.

They stopped right in front of the Great wall. It was their first stop. They were learning about it for the History of Magic.

Professor Binns, a Ghost teacher, popped out of nowhere and started explaining why the Great wall was "magical".

'Now as you can see, this great structure is quite old. In fact, it's older than what the muggles say. They didn't build this to keep the Huns away. In fact, this was built to keep us away. The muggles thought us witches and wizards could never go over such a high wall. Of course, the wizards then felt sorry for those muggle and just left them alone.' he said.

They were all getting bored but the view was too interesting to sleep at.

The Great Wall was so high and longer than the eye could see. It was extremely fascinating.

Hermione learned a lot from that stop. She was one of the very few that did, though.

Their next stop was a rainforest situated near the south. It was a secret rainforest because that was where the Wizarding village was hidden.

Professor McGonagall chose not to reveal its locations because a lot of dark wizards were after what this village had.real live ancient dragons.

When they arrived, they got out and saw dense trees surrounding them. There were no landmarks as it was completely secret.

They walked for what seemed like 30 minutes and came to a stop. It looked all the same to everyone, not much different than what they've seen so far. But it seemed different to Professor McGonagall.

She bent down and did something. Suddenly, the ground opened up and revealed a stairway.

'Now will everybody go in twos? This is quite narrow and you will easily fall if you're too many. Mr Crabbe and Mr Goyle, please go alone. Now, let's go. Move on!' she said.

Harry wanted to be the last. Fortunately for us, so did Hermione. When everybody went down, they didn't know they had to go down with each other.

With much discomfort, they went down the stairway together.

It took them about 15 minutes to get to the bottom and when they got there, they were faced with a huge boulder. Professor McGonagall tapped it 5 times in different places and it moved aside only to reveal.more steps.

It was heading up. The two by two arrangement was still being followed.

When they reached the top, they found themselves in a dead end. However, Professor McGonagall didn't look discouraged. She merely took out a small key from her emerald robes and inserted it in a hole on the wall. The ground shook and the wall split open. The blinding sunlight shone through.

When they regained their eyesight, they saw a whole new amazing world. The village was an ancient village. People there were still using their minds for magic, not wands.

The students were quite fascinated by the Chinese people here. They were quite friendly, too.

As Harry was walking, he bumped to a hooded stranger. He didn't see his face but Harry still muttered 'Sorry.' The stranger just ignored it and walked, still looking at him. The village people seemed to know him.

Harry saw a little Chinese girl play with.could it be? A baby dragon!

It wasn't like the one he faced nor was it like Norbert. It was snake-like, with small limbs. Harry assumed that this was the ancient sort of dragon from China.

The baby dragon was red and yellow in color.

Harry approached the little girl. McGonagall was still speaking to the class. She didn't see Harry walk to the girl.

'Hello. May I pet your dragon?' he asked politely.

The girl looked at him in awe. Then, she left the dragon and went to fetch her mom by the hand. When her mom arrived, she, too, had the same look of awe as her daughter.

'Your great Harry Potter!' she exclaimed. And, as usual, when his name was heard, everyone in earshot stopped and took a closer look. As the crowd of villagers started gathering, a short, old man stepped forth.

'What is Harry Potter doing here?' he asked.

'I'm here for a visit, with my classmates.' he said, confused to as why they were curious.

The old man nodded. Then, spoke again.

'I see you do not yet know why you come here.' said the man. Harry was still confused.

He saw the hooded man watching him and his classmates.

Professor McGonagall finally noticed Harry wasn't there and went to fetch him. She heard some of what the man said and it sounded to her like predictions. She never believed in those things.

'Uh, excuse me but we're on an educational trip. Please forgive us. C'mon Potter.' she said.

The man smiled a mysterious smile and nodded. The crowd parted while staring at Harry.more his scar than him.

'Potter, you will do no such wandering around. We are in a tight schedule. Also, we will be sleeping at a local inn.' she said to him, looking straight.

Harry still couldn't figure out why the man said that but he didn't mind. He was pretty tired and sleeping sounded good to him, even if it was still 5 pm.
