Chapter 2:
"WHAT?!" The eight of them screamed together.
The professor sighed. She should've known that something like this would happen. Even if the war was over, the Gryffindors and Slytherins still hate each other a lot.
"There's no way I'm working with the Gryffindorks! Much less Potty and his gang!" Pansy Parkinson screeched.
Ron and Ginny glared at the witch as she kept whining. Draco, Blaise and Daphne were trying to shut Pansy up because they didn't want to get into more trouble. After the war, the Slytherins regretted their actions and following the Dark Lord so they desperately wanted to change. However, this did not mean that they had to get along with the Gryffindors. On the other hand, Hermione was comforting her best friend. Not because of the fact that he was stuck with the slimy Slytherins, but because of the fact that he had to face Dudley and his gang of bullies again.
"I was looking forward for a Dudley free school year! Now I have to see him again because of this stupid project!" Harry pouted.
Professor Finnick glared at Harry for calling this program stupid and she ushered their group to go back to their table and wait. She continued to read the list of groups as the students started chatting. Hermione sent Harry a sympatric smile as she sat down.
"Hey, at least you have us around you Harry," Ginny said as she watched Harry sulking.
"Besides, you're 17 now! You could hex him anytime you want and you won't get into trouble!" Ron exclaimed.
Hermione whacked the back of Ron's head as he rubbed it, smiling sheepishly at the female member of the Golden Trio. On the other side of the table, the Slytherins were talking quietly.
"I don't wanna be stuck with them," Pansy whined.
"Don't worry Pans, we'll hex them if they do anything to you," Draco reassured.
Despite the rumors saying that Draco was a cold and heartless bully, he was actually a pretty nice guy that cared a lot about his friends. He wouldn't want to get them mixed with any troubles.
"Besides, we have Potter and Granger in our group. They'll help us with the stuff muggles use and they'll prevent us from embarrassing ourselves. Or at least I hope so," Blaise added.
"Well, maybe it could be fun. The muggles can't be that bad, right?" said Daphne.
Pansy sighed and nodded. Daphne could be right. The muggles couldn't be that bad. After the lesson, the class went back to their dorms and packed their belongings. They were excused from their classes and were free for the whole day. The next morning, the students woke up early and got dressed. They finished their breakfast and met up with their group mates.
"You guys will be staying at a flat together. There will be four bedrooms in each flat, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It was already decorated for you and we have placed some food there for you to eat. Here are the keys for your flats and some muggle money for each group."
Professor Finnick handed the money and the keys to a member of each group. She handed the money to Hermione and the key to Draco.
"You also cannot use any magic, so please hand me your wands," said Finnick.
All the groups glanced at their school one last time and stepped into the Hogwarts express.
