Author's note: i didn't like the way the chapter was originally- so i re wrote it. then i forgot the disclaimer so i had to re-post it again and well hopefully this time i'll get it right or this list will just keep getting longer!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Harry Potter, or the ringtone of hermione's phone- i think Possessed Squirrel came up with that. I only own the American characters.

Hermione's POV-

I was awakened by the sound of my phone ringing next to my ear Ring-ring-ring-ringey-ringey-ringey-ring-ring! Slowly I opened my eyes and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hermione? It's Shawna."

"Shawna who?"

"Shawna your cousin from New York stupid."

"Oh. Hi. What's up?" I didn't feel like telling my cousin that because of the time difference, Shawna had woken me up at 3:00 AM.

"Well, this year my school is having this whole big thing about cultural diversity and so I was wondering if you and some of your friends want to came and go to school here for a couple of months."

"I don't know. I'd have to do some other stuff first."

"OK! See you soon!"

I hung up the phone and went back to sleep.

Later that morning, I was sitting at my desk, writing a letter to Professor Dumbledore. Let's just say I wasn't getting very far. Finally I finished, and sent my owl, Maritan, to deliver it.

I quickly took a shower, got dressed, straightened my hair, and packed my things. Soon after I had finished, the doorbell rang and mom's voice called up the stairs, "Hermione, your friends are here!"

I raced down the stairs, to see Harry standing in the doorway, with Ron behind him. "Hi Harry, Ron."

"C'mon Hermione, Dad's waiting in the car." Ron said impatiently.

"I'll help you with your stuff." Harry offered.

"Thanks Harry." I said, "But I've got it already." I reached into my pocket and pulled out my trunk that I had shrunken down to a size small enough to fit into the pocket of my jeans.

"I thought you weren't allowed to do magic outside of school?" Ron said suspiciously.

"Shhh! Don't tell anyone!"

I said good-bye to my parents and ran out the door with Ron and Harry to Mr. Weasley's waiting car.

I lay in bed at the burrow the next morning, participating in one of my favorite pastimes, sleeping late and mentally reviewing all of the knowledge stored in my photographic memory. Suddenly I was awakened by the sound of an owl screeching at the window. I ignored it, and like an extremely annoying alarm clock, it got louder.

Groaning, I got up and went to the window and let Maritan inside, and took the reply from the outstretched talon.

Dear Ms. Granger,

I do think that this program is a wonderful idea and will be supporting it fully, however, I do think that in the true nature of diversity another person from another house should attend. Please arrive at Hogwarts on September 1, to see who will be going with you before your departure.

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress.

I reread the letter twice wondering why I had received a reply from Professor McGonagall even though the letter was addressed to Professor Dumbledore.

'If this was America, I could have her arrested for tampering with the mail, and then I could sue her for invasion of privacy and not warning me that coffee is hot.' I thought before leaving the room to tell Harry, Ron and Ginny.

Dumbledore's POV-

I sat in my office, waiting for Professors McGonagall and Snape to arrive. The door opened to reveal Minerva McGonagall.

"Good Evening Professor Dumbledore." She greeted me.

"Where the hell did Snape go? Better yet, Where the hell am I?"

Snape appeared in the doorway behind McGonagall. "Hello, now what is this meeting about, I have to think up new ways to torture my students."

"Well, Miss Granger has been invited to participate in a cultural exchange program and A few others are going too. We just have to add one more person for the sake of irony."

"Well, who's already in the group?" Severus asked sarcastically.

"Potter, Weasley and Weasley." Minerva replied.

"For the sake of drama, irony and because it will be funny as hell, I think we should have Draco Malfoy go with them."

"Good idea Severus. What do you think, Albus?"

I who had been ignoring them looked up triumphantly, holding a small bag in each hand. "Nine sickels and a dungbomb! This is my lucky day!" Mcgonagall and Snape looked helplessly at each other, saying "If anyone asks, he approved it." in unison.

Malfoy's POV-

I entered my bedroom to see one of the Hogwarts owls sitting on my bed. I took the letter and sent the bird out the window. I opened the letter expecting to see a traditional start of term book list but instead found this:

Dear Mr. Malfoy,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected for Hogwarts first cultural exchange program. This is not an option, you must participate or else.(Cause if you don't it won't be nearly as funny. STOP IT SEVERUS!) Please Report on September 1 to meet with your group before departing.

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

'Cool, I feel special.' I thought as I went to finish packing 'But then of course, why wouldn't they pick me? I'm the best looking guy in the entire school!'
