Chapter Two
Back at Hogwarts, things were going…well… not as smoothly as it was down in America. In return for the six under-age wizards, the stay-at Hogwarts kids were faced with six under-age Muggles. Now, we all know that being a teenager is confusing enough, but when you are some how plopped into a Magical school of learning…well, magic… you go kind of crazy.
"WHERE THE FCK AM I AND WHY AREN'T I IN MATH CLASS RIGHT NOW!" One girl by the name of Julie Aarons screamed. Her friend, Nidale Reed, was anxious and worried at the situation, yet interested at the flying teakettle whizzing around the Muggle Studies room. Andrew Small, another Muggle, seemed hardly distressed or surprised at the situation… he was too busy staring at Lavender Brown's behind. His best friend, Daniel Lameo, was running in circles around the classroom, kicking the walls and screaming like a mad man. The next Muggle, Samantha Bake, was telling him to "shut the fck up before I get to you and slap you across the face so hard that you go around the school and back". The last confused Muggle, Deanna (pronounced De-An-na, not Dee-na) was staring around the classroom, mute, and obviously lost for words.
"If I could just have some quiet—"
"She's just like Raymond, she says 'just' a lot," Andrew whispered to Samantha. Samantha nodded silently.
"—I will explain to you what you are doing here," Jenn demanded loudly. Daniel stopped running around like an idiot, Julie stopped screaming, Andrew averted his eyes away from Lavender's behind, Samantha stopped yelling at Daniel, Nidale looked away from the teakettle, and Deanna got her eyes to focus correctly.
"Thank you. Today, you six are spending a day at our school. You remember signing up for the One-day exchange program, correct?" Jenn asked. There were nods of the Muggle's heads and soft voices saying words along the line of, "Yeah".
"Well, welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" Jenn announced. Julie and Deanna's eyes met and widened, yet Samantha laughed.
"This is some place in Salem, right? I thought we were going to Europe," she said, her hands on her hips. Jenn smiled knowingly.
"You are in Europe. You are at Hogwarts School and Witchcraft and Wizardry," she said lightly. Samantha glared at her.
"But everyone knows that there is not such thing as magic," she said, in her eyes, knowledgeably. Nidale was nodding in agreement, but Andrew shifted uncomfortably.
"Actually…"
Everyone's eyes, Muggle and Magic, turned to him.
"Actually, my sister… you know her, Daniel… she goes to a school for witches over in Salem. And she can really do magic. I've seen her. I've read her schoolbooks. All of it is real!" Andrew exclaimed. Jenn smiled.
"Ahh yes, Jean Small. I used to teach her before I came to Hogwarts. A very powerful witch—"
Jenn was cut off by the triumphant screams of Daniel. He turned to Nidale and Samantha.
"AHA! You all didn't believe in this kind of thing and I did! I was right! I WIN!" Daniel screamed in victory. Andrew gave him a weird look and Nidale and Samantha rolled their eyes. Julie looked up at Jenn with an odd look plastered on her face.
"I don't believe you. Prove to me that magic is real!" she said. Michael Connor stepped in front of her.
"May I?" he asked, raising his wand. Julie took one look at his handsome face and smiled.
"But of course," she said, entranced by his foreign accent. Michael, on the other hand, was not thinking about Julie's pretty brown eyes or curly chestnut hair. He smirked, raised his wand, and said quietly, yet clearly,
"Petrificus Totalus!"
Julie's body stiffened and flattened. She fell back onto the floor and only her pupils were moving back and forth, surprised at what had happened, and hurt that a cute boy like Michael did magic on her. Jenn sighed.
"Okay, that was enough of a demonstration," she said. She muttered the counter curse. Julie brushed off her skirt and glared at Michael once she got up.
It took about half an hour, but eventually the Muggles believed Jenn and her students. Of course, Andrew had already believed them.
"I still don't get it! Why did you bring us here?" Deanna asked.
"Six of my students went to spend a day at your school for our Muggle Studies class," Jenn explained.
"Muggle studies?" Samantha asked slowly. Padma Patil stepped in to answer this one.
"A Muggle is what you guys are. Non-magic folk," she explained. Samantha nodded to show she understood.
Michael Connor whispered to Dean Thomas something like,
"American girls are hot!"
Samantha was tall with dark brown hair down to her elbows. She was wearing a light pink shirt and a frilly pink and baby blue skirt. She was wearing a baby blue zip-up sweatshirt. Nidale was Moroccan. She had slightly curly black hair that reached her shoulders and was wearing a short, short plaid skirt and a rather conservative top. Julie was wearing a pleated skirt in a dark, navy blue, and a white tank top with a navy zip-up sweatshirt. She had light brown hair and golden highlights. Deanna was blonde-haired and blue-eyed. She was wearing a pair of denim shorts and a pink spaghetti straps. They were all very pretty and had the air of being kind of…stuck up? Parvati Patil, Padma Patil, and Lavender Brown were looking at them wearily. Apparently, they didn't approve of these showy American girls that were sure to catch the eye of the boys at Hogwarts.
"Tell me about it!" Dean Thomas whispered back. Parvati glared at him.
"Pigs," she muttered to her best friend and twin.
Jenn sighed. She should have remembered what it was like to be a teenager.
"My students! It's your job to show our Muggle friends around Hogwarts. How about Samantha, Nidale, Julie, and Deanna go with Parvati, Padma, and Lavender. Andrew and Daniel, you go with Michael and Dean," Jenn instructed. It was obvious that Parvati, Padma, and Lavender weren't too crazy to show around the American girls, but they sucked it up and put on fake smiles.
"I talked with the other teachers. They are fine with you guys going in and out of the classes to show you guys around. Report back to me at the end of the day. Have fun!" Jenn said the last two words in a singsong voice. The Muggles smiled; Michael and Dean smiled at the American girls; Parvati, Padma, and Lavender were looking at each other, probably wishing that they had gone and not stayed.
"Well, follow us," Lavender said, decided to be nice. Maybe these girls were just like them. They just… didn't wear as much as them. She, Padma, and Parvati filed out and the American girls followed. Each one could feel Dean and Michael's eyes resting on their bodies as they followed their European tour guides. Michael and Dean smiled at Andrew and Daniel and motioned for them to follow them out of the classroom and on their tour of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Who is that?" Julie whispered to Lavender Brown when they entered the 6th year Potions Class. Snape looked up, glaring at first. He saw that four of the seven people that entered were not wearing school uniforms, so he figured that they must be "those Muggles" Jenn had been talking about. Lavender followed Julie's gaze and realized whom she was talking about with a smirk.
"That," she said, still smirking, "Is Draco Malfoy."
Julie smiled.
"He's hot!"
"Julie, you have a boyfriend," Deanna hissed. Julie raised her eyebrows.
"None of these guys know that," she said sneakily. Snape cleared his throat and the students continued to do their potion-making.
"You guys can ask some of the students questions about the Potions they are making, just as long as you don't make too much noise—"
Julie whizzed over to Draco's table before Padma could even finish.
"Hi," she said softly, sticking out her manicured hand, "I'm Julie Aarons."
Draco looked at her for a second and looked like he was fine with shaking her hand. But then he remembered the notice he had gotten. This girl was a Muggle.
"I don't associate with Muggles," he said coldly, turning back to his potion. Julie sneered at him. She put on a sarcastic smile.
"Fine."
Before she got up, she made sure to kick him right where it hurts.
"God damnit—"
She stood up and walked over to Parvati.
"Jerk," Julie muttered. Parvati smiled. Maybe these American girls weren't too bad.
Samantha had sat down next to a Gryffindor, luckily. Seamus Finnegan.
"So, what kind of potion is this?" she asked. It took slightly longer for the sound waves to reach his brain. Not many random girls would sit down next to him and start asking questions in such a friendly matter.
"Oh—um—I wasn't really paying attention. I just read the directions. I think it's some truth serum," Seamus said, stumbling a bit. Samantha threw her head back and laughed. Seamus smiled.
Nidale had stumbled upon a Slytherin. And not just any Slytherin; a Slytherin by the name of Gregory Goyle. She sat down next him and he looked up wearily.
"So, what are you using to make this potion?"
"I dun know," Goyle grunted. Nidale smiled oddly.
"Well, what's it called?"
"I dun know," Goyle grunted again. Nidale turned her head away and made a face at Samantha, who giggled silently.
Deanna had chosen to speak to the professor. Yup, Professor Severus Snape. He was obviously trying to be polite but since Deanna was very curious, she had a lot of questions. Too many questions for his patience.
"Why do you need to know how to make potions to be a wizard? Do you teach your class how to make poisons too? Why do you put weird things in jars?"
Snape glared in the direction of Parvati, Padma, and Lavender for bringing these American High School students to his class.
And that was only the beginning.
