~*~ here's chap 2! ~*~
Recap: "As you know, students, I have planned a little surprise for you. Because this is your last year, I want it to be enjoyable. This has never happened before, but by request of several anonymous witches and wizards, you are to attend an American Muggle school for this year," said the Headmaster calmly.

The students broke out into murmurs of praise, disgust, or confusion.
"Settle down, students," McGonagall said sharply.
The students quieted.
"You are to rest up tonight and leave tomorrow morning. You will be notified of your place of residence and your fellow students joining you, shortly. Have a good rest, for you are to have a long journey ahead of you tomorrow."
The students went to their common rooms to discuss the trip. McGonagall came in with pieces of parchment and handed one to each of the students. With that, she said a quick "Good night" and left.
"Harry! Ron! We're going to New York City!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Really? Cool. Um, where's that?" Ron asked.
Hermione pulled out a map of the United States and showed them where the city was.
"What's so special about it, Mione?" Harry asked.
"That's where my cousins live! They're witches, too. But they go to a Muggle school. I forgot to ask how, but they learn magic from someone else. Like a tutor." Hermione scanned her parchment. "The good news is that we are staying with my cousins. They're great! And Neville's coming with us. The bad news . . . our 'companions' are Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and Parkinson."
"What?!" Harry and Ron shouted in unison. They searched their parchment desperately. When they found what they were looking for, they groaned.
"I can't believe we're going with Malfoy!" Ron groaned.
"Don't worry, Ron. New York City is great. So great, even Malfoy won't ruin it," Hermione reassured.
"You never know, Mione," Ron warned.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Well, we better get to sleep. Especially you, Ron. You need to be awake so you can study on the way there."
"Why does Ron need to study?" asked Harry.
"For those of you, who don't take Muggle studies, aren't a Muggle, or don't live in a Muggle environment, need to study up about Muggles. You don't want to expose our world to them, remember?"
Ron groaned and trudged off to his dormitory. Harry and Hermione looked each other with sympathy for their friend, and walked up to their dormitories also.
