~*~ hey! here's chapter 3! ~*~
Recap: "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.
*****************************************************************
After the long train ride, the eight Gryffindors and Slytherins arrived in New York City. They followed the bustling, busy crowd to the terminal where they were supposed to meet Hermione's cousins. They spotted twin girls holding up a sign saying "Hermione" searching the crowd. They spotted her and they ran to each other, hugging.
"Hermione! How are you?" asked a girl with soft brown curls and light brown eyes.
"Isn't this great?" asked the first girl's twin with wavy brown hair and light brown eyes.
"I'm good and yes this is great!" Hermione exclaimed. "Guys, this is Melanie," she said, pointing to the curly brunette, "and Kelly," she said, pointing to the wavy brunette. "This is Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Draco Malfoy, Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, and Pansy Parkinson. Oh, I just can't get over how happy I am to see you guys!"
"Oh, I just can't get over how happy I am to see you guys!" mocked Malfoy in a high-pitched voice.
Hermione glared at him while Kelly nudged her sister.
"Phai will get a kick out of this," she said softly.
Melanie nodded, chuckling.
"Who's Phai?" demanded Malfoy. "And can we go now? My arms are working off more than their worth, you know!"
"Gosh. Don't have a cow," Kelly said.
"I don't have a cow! Are all you Americans this stupid?"
The two sisters looked at each other and laughed.
"It's an expression, Draco," Melanie said.
"Don't you dare address me by my first name! I won't let my precious name be tainted by your Mudblood lips."
"All Americans address others by their first name. Except for a few exceptions. And you haven't been here long enough to be dubbed by your last name. 'Kay, guys, let's go."
The two girls led the Hogwarts students to a van and loaded their luggage into the spacious trunk. They drove off and after about an hour of driving, they arrived at a mansion.
"This good enough for you standards, Draco?" Melanie asked.
"I guess it's enough," Malfoy sighed.
Melanie rolled her eyes and they all got out of the car and unloaded their luggage.
They were given their own rooms and unpacked. They were looking around the house when Melanie and Kelly appeared.
"You guys wanna meet Phai? She's part of our gang."
"I read about gangs. You do things like drugs and steal things," Pansy said, obviously proud of herself.
"Not that kind of gang. Gang as in group of friends, like you guys are in."
"Not with each other!" the Gryffindors and Slytherins shouted, separated themselves from the other House.
"Whatever. Let's go. It's just next door."
