Ok, I bit of a quicker update this time and a slightly longer chapter too, yay! And I would like to thank my reviewers (FanFicFanatick and Mandrake Queen) for, well, reviewing as without their support then I wouldn't be writing this right now :D R&R!

Also, I'm now looking for a Beta! So, if any offers should be posted in the form of reviews! Thanx!

Olympe Maxime did not usually get stressed. She was usually quite collected and calm. But this was not usually.

She had just received word that the Death Eaters, that had attacked, had burned down the Beauxbaton's Academy. This, obviously, was not good news. Currently, she was sitting opposite the new headmistress of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall, and was discussing what on Earth she was going to do with the students.

" Well, it will obviously take years to rebuild that castle of yours," remarked McGonagall, "are you going to send the children home?"

" It looks like I have no choice," sighed Madame Maxime, "they have no where else to go." They sat in silence for a while, every so often taking a small sip of tea, pondering what they were going to do. But just then McGonagall got a sparkle in her eyes, a bit like the one Dumbledore got when he was about to do something great.

"How about the children stay here?"

Sienne sighed. She was bored. Bored, bored, bored. All the Beauxbaton students had been gathered into the great hall and were waiting patiently for their headmistress to return. She looked around but everyone was busy doing her own thing. She sighed again and the girl sitting next to her glanced at her annoyed. After another 10 minutes of waiting the doors to the great hall opened and Professor McGonagall, followed by Madame Maxime, strode through.

"Students!" Boomed Madame Maxime, "I'm sorry to say that our school has been burned down by you-know-who's followers. But, we have come to a decision about what to do!" Voices all through the hall whispered. "Anyone who chooses will be able to stay and learn at Hogwarts, anyone who does not choose to stay may return home to their families. If you would like to contact your parents or guardians, please use the fireplaces over there," she gestured towards the left side of the hall, "Please tell either Professor McGonagall or myself your decision."

Sienne felt her head spin. Beauxbatons had been destroyed? They were going to learn at Hogwarts? Then she remembered that she needed to talk to her mum. She hurried towards the fireplaces on the other side of the hall and had to wait for three people to use them before she had the chance.

"Lesage cottage, France!" And stuck her head into the flames.

Marietta Lesage was sitting in her living room quite absorbed in dusting the ornaments on top of her fireplace. So, she got an awful shock when her daughter's head popped out of the grate.

"Maman! Beauxbatons has been attacked! And the school was set on fire! But we're at Hogwarts now and they said that we can stay and learn there…." She started to ramble.

"Hush! Oh, my darling girl! Are you all right? Are you hurt? You're at Hogwarts? Why are you at Hogwarts? What are you going to do about Your NEWTs? Oh dear, this is not good at ALL…." Marietta, also, started to ramble. "Oh, dear, I'm rambling." She shook her head, "What were you saying dear?"

"Can I stay and learn at Hogwarts?" Sienne asked again.

"Oh, I don't know dear. All those boys there? But then again…you do need the practice…" Marietta giggled despite the grave situation her daughter was in.

"Mum! But please can I stay? I really need my NEWTs. And like you said, I need the practice." She winked at her mother, trying to hold in her laughter.

"Well alright then. But you must promise to owl me every week and NO funny business!" Her mother commanded.

Taking her head out of the fire, Sienne wondered who she thought her mother thought would WANT to do "funny business" with her.

The next week passed quite quickly for Sienne. The girls of Beauxbatons, that were staying (only about 40 of the students), were sleeping in a couple dormitories just a few corridors away from the great hall and all her classes were educational. The only lesson they didn't teach at Hogwarts that they taught at Beauxbatons was the etiquette class, but Sienne was quite thankful for that.

At the moment, Sienne was walking out of the entrance doors and was making her way towards the great lake, to do her assignments, when Christine D'eau blocked her path.

"Oh look, it's little Sienne Lesage. What are you doing Sienne? Some homework?" At this, she knocked the papers out of Sienne's hands. This was strange, Sienne thought, Christine didn't usually bully her randomly. But then she saw some "slytherins" sniggering from behind a tree. Sienne bent down and picked up her books and started to walk away from Christine.

"Hey! Come back here Sienne! Or are you just a wimp? Just like your father?" Christine called.

Harry Potter was stunned. How had the Death Eaters found out where they were? Or was this just a random attack? He, Ron, and Hermione crept through the rubble of the building and checked the bodies. No one survived. Not that he had expected it; the Death Eaters were cruel and never left anyone alive. They made their way to what used to be their room and collected any objects that weren't destroyed. They sighed; they would definitely have to visit Hogwarts now…

Harry, Ron and Hermione walked through the open gates of Hogwarts, it seemed that McGonagall was expecting them. They were about half way up to the castle when Harry happened to glance up.

"mendum tergum!"
