"Welcome one and all back to Hogwarts. I hope your trip was enjoyable. Good, good. Now then I'm sure most of you sixth and seventh years are waiting to find out who will be on the exchange trip to the American school. But I am sorry to inform you that you will have to wait just a little bit longer. Now everyone enjoy the feast!" Dumbledore said.
"Of course he just had to get our hopes up didn't he?" Ron said slightly angrily.
"Ron for the first time in your life that you have not eminently begun the feast you complain. Typical." Ginny snapped.
"Fine I'll eat then. I can't wait until I get to go to America and you're stuck here."
"Whatever. I'll laugh if you have to eat your words."
"Why does he do this to me?" Draco asked to no one imparticular.
"'Cause he hates you. Duh everyone knows that"
"Shut it Zambini."
"Now that you are all full and fed, I have some announcements. First to one and all the Forbidden Forest is well, forbidden. There is also a list of items that are banned from school in Mr. Filch's office.
"Now then. As you seventh and sixth years that applied should know, there are only sixth students that are able to go on this exchange program. Out of these six students only one sixth year will be going and they will be from only two of the four houses."
At this point much murmuring was heard throughout the hall. Dumbledore waited for it all to stop; when it did he continued.
"For those of you who don't know, these students will be going to the Patriot School for Witches and Wizards, in America. They have the same study program as us only in America.
"Alright, I think I have made you wait long enough. If your name is called please stay seated while the rest of the school leaves for their rooms. First off from Slytherin Mr. Draco Malfoy and Mr. Blaise Zambini."
"WHAT! Malfoy's going that's it! I officially think Dumbledore's off his rocker!" Ron nearly shouted over the appuldse.
"Shhhhhhh!" Harry, Hermoine and Ginny said at once.
"Yes, yes congratulations to you both. Now from Gryffindor, Mr. Harry Potter, Mr. Ronald Weasley, Ms. Hermoine Granger and Ms. Ginerva Weasley."
"What did I say about eating your words you owe me five silckles!"
And to that everyone around laughed. While the rest of the school left the six winners stayed behind wondering what was going to happen next.
A/N Not a bad chapter do you think? Tell me if you have a name you want me to use for any American kids I'm not good at coming up with names. Thanks
