It did not take Draco and Ginny long to realize how very far from home they were. The neighborhood they were in was unlike any they had seen

Everywhere along the roads were towering corn stalks. The earth all around them was flat, and no mountains were in sight.

They trudged along the road silently, at first, noticing the scattered house along the way. The vague whoosh of cars hovered from a highway in the distance.

They were both still a little groggy, which they kept attributing to the fact that they were even there together.

"Have you ever played Truth?" Ginny asked aloofly.

Caught off guard Draco jumped slightly, "Like Truth or Dare?" he raised one eyebrow.

Ginny giggled. 'He looks so cute when he does that.'

She smiled, "Yes, just without the dare. "

"How do you play then?" he inquired.

Ginny sighed, "You ask a question, and it's answered absolutely truthfully, no matter what. If you won't answer it, you call a pass. Then you have to ask a question of the other person. If they answer it, they win."

"A Malfoy never loses, ask away." Draco smirked his trademark Malfoy smirk.

"I hate that smirk." Ginny declared.

"I know." Draco replied, staring ahead.

"How do you really feel about us being stuck here?" It was Ginny's turn to smirk.

Draco could tell her intentions were good. He didn't want to talk about his feelings, but he couldn't lose, not yet.

"I was annoyed at first. Potter and Weasel aren't my favorite people, you know. I can hardly stand Pansy. I'm worried about us ever getting home, you know?" He sighed.

Ginny paused a moment, "Okay." She could tell he was telling the truth, and it caught her off guard.

"My turn." He smirked, recovering quickly.

"Wait! There's someone up there!" Ginny ambled ahead.

"Hi," Ginny began, "Exactly what part of England are we in?"

The girl looked at them quizzically, "Not England, Southern Illinois. You're in the United States." The girl threw them curious looks long after they thanked her and headed on their way.

The shock they felt was indescribable. The awkward silence lasted all the way to the house. It lasted, in fact, all the way into the kitchen.

Everyone was sitting happily eating breakfast. Draco and Ginny were met by puzzled gazes, but no one spoke. Then came then explanation of their encounter with a local.

"I figured as much." Hermione sulked. She began frantically brainstorming ways to get out of there. Everything was too complicated for six teenagers to accomplish all on their own. They were stuck here.

After a short briefing by Hermione on "United States Muggles and Their Money", Harry and Pansy were sent out to get more food. Ron was, of course, asleep on the couch.

"Ron, honestly, how can you sleep at a time like this?" Hermione screeched.

"Five more minutes." Ron said drowsily, to Hermione's disgust.

Ginny snickered as she walked to her bed. This whole crazy situation was actually humorous.

Draco smiled hearing Ginny laughed from the next room. Her laugh was infectious.

Dumbledore knew exactly where the students were. He knew the room could only be accessed every two months. The Room of Affinity. Constructed to bring different houses together.

The only problem was that the room appeared in a different place every time.

A call was made to each of their parents, and they were informed there was nothing they could do. He knew, though, that their children were fine.

Pansy and Harry returned just in time for dinner. They told everyone about the grocery store they found, and how they only spent a small portion of the money they had collected in the house.

Hermione brought up the fact that they show all find jobs, or the money would soon be gone. Tomorrow they would all go to town.

After dinner, Ginny went out to the back porch and began examining the back yard. There was a vast garden very much resembling a maze. Beautiful flowers and exotic plants were strewn throughout the yard.

She smiled as she bent down to smell a small pink flower. Hands slid over her eyes. At first she was surprised. Then she smiled.

"Who is it?" She almost whispered.

"I think it's my turn to ask a question, not yours" Draco drawled from behind her.

She had always suspected his hands to be cold, like him. They were as far from it, as she was slowly learning, as he was.

"My question is..." Draco began
