The week came and went until Saturday, the day when Beauxbatons would arrive. After breakfast that day, all the students came out and waited for Beauxbatons in front of Hogwarts. Lily and James stood by the staff, being head boy and head girl.

"How do you think they'll arrive." Lily asked James, not knowing much about other wizarding schools.

She had just asked him when, without warning, huge carriages with flying horses appeared from the sky, and after landing, a giant woman came out of the largest carriage.

Dumbledore smiled and went over, while the two of them followed him to a large, but young woman.

"Madame Maxime, I presume." Dumbledore said to her.

"Yes." She replied in a heavy accent. "And you must bee Dumblydoor?"

"Yes." Dumbledore said. "Albus Dumbledore, at your service. And here is James Potter and Lily Evans, our head boy and girl here at Hogwarts."

"How du you du." She bowed, and Lily and James bowed back.

"Zis iz a warm welcome, much warmer zan our school." She laughed after making the very bad pun.

James and Lily chuckled fakely.

"You must be tired from the trip, why don't you come in, and settle down." Dumbledore led the students into the great hall.

When Lily and James had caught up with Ruth, Kate, and the rest of the Marauders, they took a seat at the Gryffindor table, ready for lunch.

"How do they decide which house to stay in?" Lily asked them.

"I guess they just...pick a seat." Sirius said.

Just then, a group of 7 Beauxbatons seven years filed into the Great Hall, and sat down next to them.

"You are the head boy and head girl." A blonde girl said to Lily and James, in almost perfect English.

"Yes." James replied. "My name is James Potter."

"I'm Lily." Lily added.

"Nice to meet you." She smiled. "My name is Annette."

She introduced the rest of her friends. A tall, strawberry blonde girl was Janelle, and a short, pudgy brunette was Danielle. Paul was red headed, freckled, and tall. Olivier was also tall, although not as tall as Paul, the tallest in the group, and was dark haired, and Christophe was short and skinny.

"And there's also Lyle, but I don't seem to know where he went." Annette said.

"Probably looking at the library." Olivier jumped in. "He's always been a bookworm."

After that introduction, James introduced the Maurauders, and Lily's friends.

Then, Paul spoke. "Annette and I are head boy and girl at out school, it is a great pleasure to meet Hogwart's head boy and girl." His english was very good as well, but with a small hint of French accent.

It wasn't long until Dumbledore got up to make his usual speech, with Madame Maxime sitting to his right. "First I would like to welcome you, ladies and gentlement of Beauxbatons. I am Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I can see that many of you have already settled down and found some new friends. Each Beauxbatons student should find a house to sit with, and to follow in classes. I think that you all are very hungry and anxious to talk, so, lets eat lunch."

Lily had noticed that Annette's friends were a lot like her own, and they got along very well, but some of Annette's friends didn't speak as well as she did.

"Well arg yoo?" Danielle asked them, meaning 'are you well', but spoke in such an accent that the rest took it as...

"Where am I?" Ruth said.

"Non, well arg yoo?" Danielle repeated.

Ruth stared at her and blinked a couple times then shook her head and said "I'm sorry what?"

"She means, are you well, or how are you." Annette interpreted.

"Oh...I see. I'm great. How are you?" said Ruth, so slowly that the rest couldn't help but chuckle underneath their breath.

Kate, who spoke french, was fast in conversation with Janelle and Olivier.

"Oui, oui, j'adore la France. Ma tante est francaise. Je visite France une fois par annee." Kate said to them, which Lily understood none of.

"La France est tres magnifique!" Janelle replied.

Peter and Christophe, obviously the smallest of the group, had been talking, although not as loud or as enthusiastic as the rest of the group.

After lunch, James said "Why don't we take you to Gryffindor Tower now?" And the 13 of them followed him out.
