A/N: when I was a child I used to play this game with my friends. We pretended to get stuck in a film. And I thought maybe this could be a fun idea to make a fanfic around it. So here it is. I hope you guys like it. Feel free to let me know what you think about it.

DISCLAIMER: none of the characters are mine. All credits go to JKR for them. The locations where the story will take place are also not mine.

It was nine in the morning. All students were walking towards their classrooms for the first period. Except for the sixth years. They were asked to come to the great hall for a special lesson. No one knew what was going to happen, so naturally everyone was whispering excitedly while walking into the great hall.

"Please, settle down." Professor Flitwick squeaked. He paused and waited until all the students took their places at the long tables. When it was quiet he continued "today we have planned something very special. You will be paired into groups of four and then we will send you on a journey into a muggle film! Isn't this exciting?"

It was quiet for at least two seconds before everyone started talking trough each other.

"Everybody quiet!" shouted professor McGonagall. "Thank you. Now as professor Flitwick said, we will pair you up. When you hear your name, you come to the front and then you will choose a film together with your partners. You and your partners will be in this film until the very end of it. The purpose of this assignment is to learn how to work together and how to survive without the help of magic. While you are in the film, and you are in company of other people, it is very important to stay in character. Because otherwise it might take a bad turn. Is that understood?' When McGonagall heard the students mumble in agreement she continued "wonderful. First pairing is Ron Weasley, Pansy Parkinson, Terry Boot and Susan Bones. Now please choose a film."

"This one doesn't look so bad." Shrugged Ron while pointing at 'the lord of the rings'.

"I don't know any of these so I guess that's fine." Said Susan.

Professor McGonagall nodded, pointed her wand at them and said a spell that send them into the film. "Next pair is Harry Potter, Daphne Greengrass, Dean Thomas and Padma Patil. Pick a film please."

"I want this one!" exclaimed Padma while pointing at 'the notebook'.

"You know this film? What is it about?" asked Dean.

"It's a very well-known love story." Explained Padma.

"Sounds great to me." Said Daphne. The boys shared a look. Harry shrugged and soon the four were send into the film.

A few pairs followed choosing films varying from sleeping beauty to saving Private Ryan. "Next pairing is Theodore Nott, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini and Hermione Granger."

"No, this must be a mistake. I can't possibly be paired up with the three snakes." Hermione exclaimed. Neville who was sitting next to her looked at her with an apologizing look in his eyes. "Hermione, maybe they aren't so bad. Just try to make the best of it." Hermione sighed and answered "I guess you're right. Well wish me luck." And with that she got up and walked to the front of the hall with her head held high. Her new partners were already looking at all the films that laid out for them to choose from.

"I see the Gryffindor princess has decided to join us." Said Theo with a smile to show he didn't mean it in a bad way.

"Very funny. So do you guys already have an idea for a film?" asked Hermione.

"Well Granger we don't really know much about these muggle things so we just look at the pictures on the front of these boxes and make our decisions based off of them." Blaise grinned looking at the box of 'the mask of Zorro'.

"I know most of these so I can tell you a little bit about these films." Hermione smiled. "For example, Blaise the one you're holding is about a man who wants to stay anonymous while helping innocent citizens."

"I don't particular like people with hero-complexions." Said Blaise putting the box back where he found it.

"So what can you tell me about this one?" asked Theo holding up the box of 'the Titanic'.

"I don't think that is a great movie to pick." Said Hermione. "It's about a young couple who fall in love on a ship that goes from England to America. But before the ship reaches America they hit an iceberg which caused the ship to sink."

"Okay, not this one then." Said Theo. "You know Granger it would probably be better if you just suggested something."

"Euhm. I like the pirates of the Caribbean. Basically it's just a film about pirates." Hermione said.

Draco, who had stayed quiet for the entire time, now spoke up. "That sounds pretty good."

Hermione turned her head so fast to look at him that she hurt her neck. "You really like that idea?"

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I?" asked Draco.

"Never mind" said Hermione, rubbing her neck.

"So all of you agree on this film?" asked professor McGonagall.

"Yes, we do." Said Theo and Blaise at the same time.

"I wish you all good luck. Enjoy this experience." Said professor McGonagall before sending them into the film.

Everything was spinning. Hermione kept her eyes squished shut until the spinning stopped. She carefully opened her eyes. She looked around and could see that see was in a very beautiful bedroom. She was wearing a white nightgown. And she hear the sound of canons and guys outside of her room. Hermione quickly realized that she was dropped in the middle of the pirates attack.

A/N so this was the first chapter. I know it's a bit short, I'll try to make the next chapters a little longer.
