A/N: Hello friends, again. This is the edited version of chapter one, ISC. I'm afraid when I began posting the chapters for this story I had a blurred visiojn of where I wanted to go with it but now I really know what I want to do. Hopefully you like the newer direction the story's taking and enjoy! I'm pumped to write this story, especially since the summer is coming up ;)

Chapter 1 of International Summer Camp

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beauxbatons

Sunshine was streaming into a Beauxbatons 5th year girls dormitory. It illuminated the predictable contents of the room with everything from makeup, hairbrushes and shampoos to witches attire splayed over every viable corner space. A girl of the age fifteen got on her knees and looked under a bed pushing past the blankets hanging down from the unmade bed.

"Julia, where are my black flats that I just bought last weekend?" Lily Evans asked with a grin at one of her best friends Julia Adams who was busily applying makeup in the bathroom.

"By my bag by the table." Julia said sheepishly.

Lily jumped over the bed to Julia's partially packed bag was lying wide open revealing an assortment of jumble ness. It was late June and everyone was getting ready to leave home on the train the day after tomorrow. Lily had yet to begin packing her bag so she didn't say anything to Julia but smile when she spotted her familiar shoes.

"Elissa get your lazy arse up so we can go get some breakfast. I'm starving." Chennacy Davies drawled out slowly as she brushed her short curly black hair and secured it with a glitzy blue barrette that matched her eyes.

However Elissa had just conveniently pushed the covers off when Chennacy said that. "I'm up already you prude. What time is it anyways?"

"Ten twenty." Lily stated with a wry smile. Now that exams were done they didn't have any more classes so they could take their time in the morning and any time of the day for that matter.

Elissa snorted, as she looked at herself in the wide mirror the girls had in their dorm. Her long blonde hair was in a tangled heap on her head and her mascara had smudged around her dark brown eyes. "I daresay we had a late night?"

Lily smiled remembering the party they had attended to last night. It indeed had been a late night and an interesting one for that matter. End of year parties were always the best because everyone was in an awesome mood and a lot of people usually attended. It had been held in the boys common room and there had been tons of people there.

"Wicked time last night." Julia said finally exiting the bathroom and pointing to the bathroom for Elissa to go in and get herself cleaned up. She had shoulder length sleek brown hair and deep blue mysterious eyes.

"Indeed it was." Lily said thinking about the 6th year Christian Gunnst who had danced with her countless times. It had been brilliant. She sighed wistfully thinking how soon summer was coming and she wouldn't be seeing much of her friends that much. She was a renowned witch at Beauxbatons but in London she was just another nameless person. None of her friends lived nearby. It sucked.

She pulled her auburn hair down and it fell gracefully down her back to its long length. Lily began to brush through it beginning to feel the normal homesick feeling she always countered before leaving Beauxbatons to go to her grandparent's home in the summer. Her parents had died a year and a half ago so she went to her nearest relatives written up in her parents will.

Petunia had selfishly left Lily to go to live with one of their mother's sisters and she had never seen her since the night when Lily had gone to their old town after the accident. That was what pained her most for she didn't have a relationship with her own blood sister. And they said blood was thicker than water…

She didn't mind going to her grandparent's home during the summer, because the first few weeks it was usually fine. They were her only blood relatives living other than a few distant cousins on her father's side. The reason she usually dreaded summer vacation was because there were constant memories haunting her of her family.

Lily sighed as she stepped in the bathroom to wash her face and put on a little makeup on. Elissa had a bathrobe on and was currently drying her hair with her towel.

"Dreading going home already?" Her friend asked sympathetically.

"Yeah. It's going to another one of those depressing summers. Please feel free to come and get me and rescue me on your way to a party." Lily said with a quirky grin as she masked her real feelings about going home behind a smile though it didn't quite reach her emerald eyes.

She looked in the mirror and wrinkled her straight nose glaring at the scattered freckles on her nose. Lily rubbed in some soft face cream into her already smooth fair skin. She then applied some natural looking eye shadow and a few strokes of mascara. She rubbed on some tinted lip balm then walked out of the bathroom and pushed away the thoughts of going home.

"Ready to get some breakfast?" Chennacy asked Lily while she slid into a white summer dress and Lily nodded.

The four girls walked down through their dormitory and through the swirling staircase into the Great Hall where there was a scattered amount of witches and wizards eating at that time.

Lily found their usual round crystal circular table near the large see-through glass wall of the Great Hall where they could look out in the beautiful gardens and grounds of Beauxbatons. At Beauxbatons if you were late for the buffet style breakfast you would just pick up your plate and say what you wanted. The faeries would then magically make the food appear on the plate.

"Grapefruit and toast." Lily said as her stomach let out a great growl. As the other three ordered Lily let her gaze wander over the room and she felt a whirl of something go in her stomach as the roguishly good-looking Christian glanced over and gave her a little wave.

Lily felt her cheeks flush and she waved back with a big smile. Christian was a very handsome sixth year boy. He had curly dark blonde hair and dark gray blue eyes. He was a very good Quidditch player and an exemplary dancer as Lily remembered with a coy grin from last night.

"Lily's in love." Julia said coyly as she ate her oatmeal.

"Lucky." Chennacy said catching the eye glances between Lily and Christian.

"I dunno, you were getting pretty friendly with Jason eh?" Lily commented cheekily with a laugh when Chennacy's cheeks colored slightly.

"Guys who am I going to go for?" Elissa asked suddenly with a sigh as she rested her chin on her palm.

"Go for Jon. He seemed pretty interesting." Julia said earnestly.

Elissa sighed and shook her head. "He was so last week. I don't know but it just feels like there's nothing there. You know what I mean?"

Lily nodded in understanding for she had gone with guys who she just didn't have chemistry with, and then dumped them shortly after. Elissa still really hadn't found anyone up to her standards and she went through quite a few of Beauxbatons guy population Lily thought with a grin.

"You'll find someone soon. It's gonna happen." Chennacy said squeezing their friend's hand.

Lily turned to her breakfast and began to eat the large red grapefruit that was already cut open for her. Suddenly though a snowy white owl appeared in the crystal hall and Lily looked at it with interest. Owls weren't usually permitted in the Great Hall because the Headmistress didn't allow it. Therefore whatever was inside the envelope had to be containing of some importance.

"Whoa, I wonder what all the owls are doing here! Cour's going to have a tantrum if she sees this." Elissa exclaimed when she suddenly caught an eye of the handful of prestigious owls flying down into the room that had began to appear more constantly in the room.

Lily shook her head watching as owls dropped to certain people and she looked in bemusement as all four girls received a hefty cream envelope with dark gold loopy writing on the top addressing their names.

Lily looked up at her friends and saw the same puzzled but intrigued expressions on their faces.

"Wonder what this is all about. Mme. Cour would have never allowed the owls to come deliver in here to all these students if it weren't about something she approved of or something." Chennacy mused out loud and the other three nodded their heads agreeably.

"C'mon lets all open our letters together!" Julia trilled.

Lily slit open the envelope and pulled out three sheets of parchment that were all written on. The first page was a letter so she set down to read it.

International Summer Camp of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Head of Camp: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf

Warlock, Supreme Mugwump International

Confederation of Wizards)

Dear Ms Lily Evans,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to a very prestigious international summer camp for exceptionally bright witches and wizards. Placements in this camp are chosen very carefully for there are only so many spots.

At this summer camp you will be taking advance classes from a Head of each country that is represented internationally from around the world. For example, Mme. Cour will be the advanced Charms teacher at this summer camp and so on to whatever expertise of each head from select countries.

It is not all about the academics, for this camp is also being issued to bring Muggle awareness to the students. Therefore many activities will be mixed, magical and muggle. We would also like to bring a tighter unity between the different magical communities in our world. I hope you will gladly accept your position at this camp.

Please send an owl of confirmation by the 9th of July. We will send a list of requirements once confirmation has been sent. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon Ms Evans!

Albus Dumbledore

Lily looked at the other two parchments and realized that they were just parchments stating more in the history of the camp. She summarized that the camp had only just been created a year ago and it was created for the unity of the magical community of youth because of the growing fear of dark wizards on the world was thickening.

She looked up at her friends and they all looked quite positive about the whole thing.

"Sounds pretty cool even though it's an educational based camp." Julia said with a smile and a shrug of her shoulders.

Lily felt excitement begin to unfurl in her stomach. This was the perfect alternative for her summer vacation. It wasn't the fact that she didn't enjoy going home but her parents had died in a car accident one year ago and it was only herself who went home to her grandparents.

"Sounds alright." Chennacy said as she just finished the letter with a wide grin.

"Yeah and all kinds of people from different countries will be going!" Lily said excitedly and then her gaze hooked with Julia and they began to giggle.

"What're you two up on?" Elissa asked them with a raised eyebrow.

"Different countries mean that there will be different people which means new guys!" Julia said happily and Elissa sighed with a grin on her face as she shook her head.

"Exactly what I was thinking." Lily said with a tinkling laugh and she flipped back her smooth auburn hair that was tumbling down in a wavy array.

"I like that train of thought." Chennacy said joining in with their infectious laughter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hogwarts

A large group of students from fifth year to seventh year students were gathered in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore was at the front of the room on an elevated stand speaking to them, his long white hair tucked in his belt and his half moon glasses glittering from the sunshine slowly beginning to fill the room.

He was talking about an International Wizarding summer camp and that these select groups of students were invited to accept the invite.

Sixteen year old James Potter was seated in the back, his long legs stretched out in front of him and his arms folded behind his head in a gesture of easiness. His two best friends, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin were there with him in the back. Remus was listening to Dumbledore talk about the camp but Sirius was immaturely raising his wand seeing how far he could lift up Sally Jenkins skirt without getting caught.

James rolled his eyes with a grin and grabbed the wand from Sirius who let out a huffy breath and glared at him darkly. James took out his wand and nodded his head towards Sally making it clear to Sirius to watch. He flicked his wand sharply and her skirt flew up in her face showing her knickers.

She let out a cry of rage and James stifled his laughter while Sirius snorted then masked a look of innocence while she looked around the room to see who had made her skirt fly up.

"You can send an owl to either me or Professor Mcgonagall before July ninth and we will send you more information of what to pack and so on. Thank you and you are dismissed." Professor Dumbledore said cordially as the students stood up and vanished their chairs from the hall.

"Lets go out by the lake." Sirius said and James nodded.

Remus looked on then stopped. "I'll go find Peter then we'll be out."

"Alright." James replied easily and he followed Sirius out the Great Hall doors and down the path to the lake. He let his eyes wander over all the people who were lounging around the lake. They picked a spot near the water and laid casually down on their backs.

"Reckon you'll go to this?" Sirius asked suddenly as students filed out of the building and near the waters edge too. It was a beautiful hot sunny day and many wanted to go for a dip in the lake or at least be outdoors.

"Yeah. My dad will make me go anyways." James replied thinking about his educated Auror father.

"Kind of a drag about having to go to classes in the summer but there will be plenty of chicks at this camp. Pros and cons, ya know." Sirius said with a grin that lighted up his handsome face.

Remus and Peter finally came down by the water and James felt a sudden pang of guilt that Peter hadn't been asked to go to the summer camp. Peter was his close friend and he felt bad that he wouldn't have the chance to go to the summer camp that the rest of them would end up going to.

"Too bad you can't go to the camp Wormtail but you won't be missing out on much cause we have to go to classes everyday!" James said with a roll of his eyes to indicate that he wasn't really jumping up and down for it.

"Yeah… I wouldn't have been able to go anyways. I'm working in my mum's bookstore down in Diagon's Alley most of the summer." Peter said with a shrug of his shoulders.

James nodded understandingly. Since Peter's father had died it had been hard for Peter's mother to keep enough money for a living but she gotten a chance to open a bookstore and she had taken it. James put his hand in his pant pocket and retrieved the stolen golden snitch that he liked to play with.

"Not that again!" Remus groaned in an exaggerated voice with a grin tweaking the corners of his mouth.

"I'm only practicing because I'm going to be the best most wanted Quidditch player when I'm out of Hogwarts." James said arrogantly and Sirius snorted.

"Well you don't need any work on your confidence." Remus said wryly and he turned the page of the book on advanced Charms that he was reading.

Sirius grabbed the snitch before James could begin showing off his super reflexive skills at catching it. "C'mon lets do something...go for a swim or something. " He said gesturing to the vast lake stretching beneath the castle of Hogwarts.

"Deal. Last one to the water has to snog Snivellus." James said uttering out their arch nemesis and soon four boys were crashing towards the water yelling and pushing each other out of the way laughing because it was the end of school and the summer of their lives was just beginning.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Letters concerning the International Wizarding Summer camp found their way going to many different parts of the world that last week of June. Some were sent to the far region of Bulgaria and others to Ireland to a smaller magical school. A few went down India and others to Asia.

The camp was heavily broadcasted in the Daily Prophet and there was a long interview with Albus Dumbledore about why he was opening a camp for bright youth kids of the wizarding world to which he replied about the unity of the magical community and to bring muggle awareness closer which seemed to bring a controversy to many.

Many included a dark wizard at the height of his power whom didn't like the idea of many exceptionally bright and powerful wizards banding together to learn advanced magic. No this worried the dark wizard and he knew something had to be done about it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
