"To our newcomers," said Dumbledore in a ringing voice that echoched around the hollow hall several times, with arms stretched wide and a beaming smile on his lips, " welcome! To our old hands - welcome back ! Now I have prepared a very long speech" At Ron's groan, Dumbledore chuckled ," but of course my grumbling tummy agrees with Mr Weasley so... tuck in!!" There was an appreciative laugh when Ron jumped up and whooped and waved his hands over his head.

After the mouth-watering dinner everyone rose up to go to their respective dormitories planning on sleeping undisturbed sleeps, but apparently Dumbledore had different plans. With raised hands Dumbledore motioned everyone to sit back down. Muttering insiued but ceased as soon as Dumbledore began speaking.

" I'm dreadfully sorry to delay your bedtime but there is one announcement that is yet to be made . We will be guests to one of the finest wizarding school in the world . We will be visiting a school at the far east of America, Los Angeles where the headmistress has generously offered to provide us with accomodation among the students. The reason to this trip is simple, the war is coming, I am hoping they will agree to join in alliance during this war. So fourth years and above do not unpack as of yet because we leave in a week from now on the 8th of September. Now I can see you're all very tired, so off to bed !"

" America, that's like where all the hot chicks and lingerie models are, hot damn we're so lucky!" Dean said enthusiastically.

" Hot chicks and lingerie models is all you're excited about? I've heard that the Magical Portal School of Whitchcraft and Wizardry has an extensive collection of Advanced Potion Books!" Hermione squealed at this. Everyone around stared at her like she had sprouted 2 more heads.

" That's what you do in your free time?? Looking up other schools?? Why do I know you?!?!" Ron sputtered .
