Chapter II
The Big Bang Project
The Dream Team entered the Muggle- Studies classroom and was amazed by what they saw. "Wow, amazing!" said Ron. "It's as big as the half of the library!" said Hermoine. "No wonder all the 5th year students could fit!" said Harry. "Hey, Hermoine, Ron, Harry!" said a familiar voice. "We saved you seats!" Hermoine turned around and saw her friend Marie Claire with her brother Julius seated in front of the class. Harry, Hermoine and Ron took their seats with their looks alike companions. Harry and Ron started to talk about Quidditch while Hermoine greeated her dear friend.
"So Marie Claire, how was your summer?" asked Hermoine. "I'll tell you if you tell me yours first!" said Marie Claire who had black hair and darkish light skin with sunflower colored eyes, no, she does not look like her older brother, Cedric for she and her brother Julius were adopted since her parents died of a very rare sickness. "Oh, alright." Said Hermoine as she put she held hands with her friend. You see, Marie Claire has a special gift of seeing persons past when she touches someone's palm or hand. She (Marie Claire) took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a few moments and opened them again smiling sweetly. "Well, someone's had an interesting summer!" she said. "What? really? All I did was stay at home!" said Hermoine. "You know I'm always interested with your muggle ways!" said Marie Claire smiling.
"Oh yeah, about that thing earlier with Draco…" suddenly her smile faded "You should really be more careful with your words! You know how he can be a little sensitive!" Hermoine did feel guilty about what she said to Malfoy earlier, but she couldn't help it. She and Malfoy have been enemies since the day they met at Hogwarts in their first year!
"Hermoine, he's lived a terrible life! No one to love or care for him! But, the past is the past and no one can change it so better get on with it then!" said Marie Claire who then turned to her twin, Julius. "Hey Julius, seen anything about what we'll be doing in Muggle Studies and why we're all gathered?" asked Marie Claire. Julius smirked a Malfoy-ish smirk and said "Sister dear, it will be very interesting this year I promise you" He says now looking at Hermoine "Oh hello there Hermoine, how have you been?" he said in a calm voice. Julius, Marie Claire's dear brother could see the future, from accidents, deaths and even future thoughts of a person he could know. "I'm fine thank you. So what do you mean by this year being very interesting?" Hermoine asks. Julius smiles and says, "Oh, do not worry my friend, you will know in time…"
Few moments later their teacher, Professor Banns, Professor Binns' cousin and total opposite greeted the class. "Good Morning 5th year students! I am pretty sure you are wondering why all you are all gathered here this day."
"The school has agreed to have an all- school year project. And the main purpose of this project is for the students to know more about our non-magical brothers and sisters, MUGGLES." The students were amazed by this announcement except for a certain blonde boy with grey eyes who was least excited and amazed. "Going back on the subject at hand, the main purpose of this project is for the students and particularly 5th year students to know more about Muggles and how they are similar to our kind." Continued the wizard.
He then flicked his wand and each student had different figures in their hands. "You will be paired up in to two's,each pair or as I should say 'couple' will be randomly sent to different parts of the Muggle world and live like ordinary muggles. You will encounter different events such as children, jobs and many more. Now, what I want you to do now is to find your partner and the first one who pairs up wins 50 house points each. It would do good to help your houses before going to the muggle world. Now BEGIN!"
It was a rampage, everyone was shouting their figures names like crazy! "Who has the flower shape?" "How about the hippogriff shape? Who has that?" "Can anyone tell me where my pair IS?"
Hermoine,was one of the quiet ones who looked for her partner. I wonder who my partner is? She thought. She looked at her given figure one more time. It was a heart. Well this is a cute symbol she thought. Then suddenly she bumped into one of her fellow students "Oh sorry I'm…" Then she saw it who ever she bumped into had the same figure as hers! "Hey, you're my partner!" She was so glad to finally find her partner until…
"Malfoy?"
"Granger?"
The two enemies looked at each other in confusion. "How could you be my partner! This has to be a mistake!" said the young Malfoy. "Apparently it's not Malfoy. We're partners, we had the same shape…" she said in dissapointment.
"Hey, It's okay we can be the first ones to…"
"We have our first couple up front! Mr. Zabini and Ms. Diggory are our first pair! 50 points each for Hufflepuff and Slytherin!" Hermoine could see how they were the first pair, Marie Claire probably read her twins past and saw who her pair was even before it started!
"Ugh, nevermind let's just sit down." Said Hermoine as they took a seat.
Why the HELL would I be paired up with her? Of all the randomness SHE, a mud blood had to be MY partner? She's one of the blood y people who despise me! Now I'm going to have to face the whole schoolyear with her, IN A MUGGLE TOWN! What did I do to deserve this? Thought the angry blonde boy.
It's okay 'Moine It's just one little school year and it's over! You can live with him! Just imagine like he's NOT THERE! Thought the brown-eyed brunette. At least someone was having positive thoughts!
When all the students finally found their partners Professor Banns caught their attention. "Now that you are all settled in we shall randomly pick the country each pair will stay in! Voila!" Each of them had a map with one little red dot to tell which part of the Muggle world they will be staying at.
"Let's see…" browsed Hermoine as she looked for the place they were staying at. "You know, what you could do is to help me find where we're staying! It's a big map and we're looking for one small dot!" she said to the lazy Draco. "Excited much Granger? " he said lazily. "Why would I? Like staying in a place with you would be fun!" she spat.
Ugh! There she goes again! Just help her out and maybe she'll stop!
"Alright Granger, I'll help…" he said as he also looked throught the big map. After a few moments they finally found the place where they were staying.
"San Fransisco?" said the surprised Hermoine. "San What?" asked Malfoy for he didn't know much about places in the Muggle World. "I said we're going to live in San Fransisco Dumb arse!" spat Hermoine. "Hmph!" What the only thing he could say. "Alright everybody! Listen up!" called professor Banns. "You may now go back to your common rooms. I know how much you missed your peers but do not worry, when you have enough muggle money you will be able to visit them around the world. Tomorrow is the start of your project. Same place, time and pairs!" he said as he went out of the room before any of his students.

"I cannot BELIEVE I got Padma Patil as my pair! Maybe she's still mad at me for the Yule Ball last year!" said Ron in a frightened manner. "I'm fine with Cho (Yes, in this story she is in 5th year too)" said Harry. "Ugh! It's all right for you! YOU have a bloody crush on her! How about you Hermoine?"
"Oh, I don't know! I got Malfoy as my partner!" Ron suddenly stopped bickering and looked at Hermoine. "You got MALFOY???? If he EVER hurts you I'll kill him!" said Ron trying to be courageous. "Thanks Ron. Anyway, I'm going to bed. It's going to be a big day tomorrow. Good luck!" Said Hermoine as she went to her room.
When she got there she dressed to her pajamas and fell asleep…
What did I do to deserve this?
