Title: Being An Exchange Student

By: I love Fred and George

Chapter 1: Last Day

Lily Evans was at her last day of school at the Beauxbatons Academy. She had been in an exchange program for 4 years now but now at her last day there. She was to return to Hogwarts for her last and final year of schooling. She did go to Hogwarts for 1st and 2nd year and while she was there she was in Gryffindor house with her 2 best friends Lizzy Longbottom (Frank's younger sister) and Ella Diggory (Cedric's Aunt) who are in Gryffindor also. Both Lizzy and Ella couldn't believe their best friend is finally coming back to Hogwarts. They were the only ones to know that Lily was coming back because Lily told them the she didn't want people to know especially the Marauders and Lily thought no one would really care.

Lily had mixed feelings about coming back to Hogwarts she was happy to finally come back and see her old professors and the group that usually followed Lizzy, Ella and her around but she was also upset because she was at Beauxbatons Academy much longer than she was at Hogwarts and she knew everyone at Beauxbatons Academy. Lily also had a boyfriend Charlie Yogger from Durmstrang who she wouldn't see as often because Hogwarts don't have school dances with Durmstrang like Beauxbatons Academy does. The only way to communicate with Charlie would be with owls and she would only see him on holidays. This just depressed Lily even more.

But Lily still had one day left with everyone and since exams were over they could sit around and do whatever they wanted. Lily went down to have breakfast with her closest friends Heather, Mylene, Sara, Jackie and Greta. They talked about what they were doing this summer Heather and Mylene being twin sisters were going to Greece for the summer to see their grandparents, Sara was going to go to Brazil with her family, Jackie was going to her summer home and Greta was just going to party. You see everyone who goes to Beauxbatons Academy are all rich so everyone there visits the world on their vacation this is where Lily felt left out because her family was rich but not rich enough to go traveling every holiday just once and awhile. Her family being muggles spent more money on making their house spectacular with an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a Jacuzzi, huge rooms, living in the richest part of England, living along the ocean, a water trampoline, a normal trampoline, with boats tubing, water skiing, wave boarding and everything you could imagine so Lily was always happy just staying home in the summer.

When they asked her what she was doing she told them the usual which they new as Ella and Lizzy coming over to her house all the time with them hanging out, shopping and do all the sports you can at Lily's house. Since Lily's parents Henry and Jill are very active and were both in the Olympics (Henry for hockey and water polo and Jill for figure skating and bike racing) everyone was active even Petunia but she only did the 'elegant' sport dance. Lily on the other hand was somewhat a tomboy with all the activities she did her parents wanted her to do as many things as she could and since they had the money they would give her lessons after lessons for everything she wanted to do but Jill and Henry would teach Lily personally many of the sports.

When Lily finished up her breakfast they all walked back to the dormitories. As soon as she opened the doors she heard SURPRISE! Then she saw balloons, streamers, confetti falling all over, and a big sign that said we'll miss you and a picture of her on it. She couldn't believe it they made a surprise party just for her! How could she leave this place with all her friends here and knowing no one at Hogwarts except Ella and Lizzy. But then she got the best gift of all Charlie was at the party with a few of his friends and she ran up and hugged him and he spun around with her hanging on and laughing.

But unfortunately the party had to end and they had to pack knowing that Lily wouldn't be back in 2 months time and they would miss her dearly. Lily just sat on the way home silently sad that her 4 years are over here and she wouldn't see her friends for a long time and only be able to talk to them through the letters their owls sent her.
