Sparking Embers

Prologue:

"Miss Lupin, it is time for you to go," said Madame Maxine.

Embre Lupin turned from saying farewell to her classmates. As she walked towards her Headmistress, she couldn't help being sad and excited about leaving the school she had spent a year at as an exchange student.

She remembered being asked by Professor Dumbledore in her sixth year at Hogwarts if she was interested in taking a year to study in France at Beauxbatons school for Witches. She had nervously accepted and spent a year in France that had changed her life. Not only had Embre's confidence gotten a much needed boost, but she had been able to slim down her plump figure and with the help of her dormmates, take on a whole new look so that anyone who had known her could hardly recognize her as the straw haired ordinary faced girl from a year ago.She wondered what her father and her brotheer Remus would think of how she looked.

"I hope to see you again Madamoiselle Lupin. You have proven to be a wonderful pupil. Professor Dumbledore was very correct in sending you," Madame Maxine said warmly as she gestured to a mirror lying on a stone bench that was Embre's portkey to get home.

" Merci beaucoup Madame Maxine," Embre said as she took one last look at the grounds she'd spent a year on. Then she reached out and took hold on the mirror and soon felt the odd feeling of displacement that accompanied travel by portkey before she landed in the small garden that was behind her house outside of London . She looked around and saw everything was just as she had left it a year ago with the gooseberry bush that her and Remus played around when they were little. She looked at the quaint beige house before her that she had called home and broke into an excited dash to the house to meet her family again after a year of separation.

What do you guys think?
