"Well," said Lily with a smile, "The thing that stands out most is that we all got Os in Charms!"

"Professor Flitwick did tell us very early on in the year that he thought we could all be O students in Charms." remembered Hugo.

"Having grown up in the Wizarding World," piped up Ainsley, "I think any student should be able to achieve a grade of O in first year Charms so long as the course is taught by a competent teacher and we all know Flitwick is. Thing is, Charms is the most basic subject in magic. Charms is the fundamental subject in magic and first year Charms classes cover mostly basic stuff."

"As Charms is my favorite subject, I am utterly delighted that we all got Os in Charms," said Lily happily.

"I'm a pretty average student," said Devon matter of factly, "I am pleased that I got an E in Defense Against the Dark Arts since that's such an important subject. It's good to know I'm doing well there."'

'I'm glad to see that you, being muggleborn, have already picked up on the importance of Defense Against the Dark Arts," said Lily approvingly.

'I did quite a bit of reading on the Wizarding World before coming to Hogwarts after McGonagall told me I was a wizard," Devon reminded her, "I know all about the Wizarding Wars, Grindewald, Dumbledore, Voldemort, Harry Potter, Dumbledore's Army, the Death Eaters, the Order of the Phoenix, and so forth. I know the importance of being prepared and alert. I am now going to set a goal for myself of becoming an O student in Defense Against the Dark Arts next year."

"Devon, sweetie," predicted Lily fiercely, "You WILL become an O student in Defense Against the Dark Arts next year. I KNOW you will. You showed with your successful weight loss this year how good you are at achieving goals when you put your mind to something and it's obvious that you fully appreciate how important the subject of Defense Against the Dark Arts is."

"Thanks, Lily, dear, " said Devon brightly, messing up Lily's hair with his left hand and rubbing her belly button with his right hand, "I really appreciate your faith in me."

"My greatest strength," said Hugo clearly, "Has always been wandless magic, "From the time I was five I have had a very strong interest in Potions and as Potions does not require spellwork, young witches and wizards can practice Potions at home even before they get their wands. I have a natural talent for Potions and it's my favorite subject. I enjoy Herbology as well because I like plants. Hermione fully expects me to be an O student in Defense Against the Dark Arts. She has preached the importance of this subject since I can remember. Overall, I'm a good student. Transfiguration is a weaker subject area for me, and I can accept that as I don't get much enjoyment or interest out of Transfiguration anyway. As for Charms, I'll be honest, I don't see myself as an O student in Charms in the long run. I honestly think my O in Charms this year has to do with what we already talked about regarding first year Charms being pretty basic. I suspect that I'll be between E and A in Charms once we hit third year. I'll strive to hit that E, but I truly don't see myself as an O Charms student once the course work gets more rigorous."

"I love your honesty, Hugo," said Lily clearly, "You can still be a great contributor to the Wizarding World even if you aren't the best in Charms and Transfiguration. Potion Making is a vital skill in many occupations and your knowledge of plants will prove invaluable to you. Being successful is about taking advantage of your strengths and you've got some awesome strengths."

"Thanks Lily, you're always so encouraging," replied Hugo, "The rest of us lucky to have you. Your constant encouragement always bolsters us."

"Hey, Hugo?" asked Devon, "Do you remember Megan's bronze medal winning idea in the Hogwarts Writing Competition?"

"OOOH!" realized Hugo suddenly, "Lily, when we get our books on wizarding careers, I will search for occupations that highly value Herbology knowledge and Potion Making Skills."

"Good," said Lily approvingly, "Everyone has something they can contribute to the Wizarding World. Just find your strengths and you'll soar high in life."

"I'm a very good student," said Ainsley proudly, "But my favorite subject is Transfiguration. You lot have seen how good my Transfiguration skills are."

"And it's come in quite useful for us," smiled Lily, "As it allowed me to get my prize(d) ring back on Thanksgiving, Though I'm actually surprised that Care of Magical Creatures isn't your favorite subject. You've always seemed to love animals."

"I do," said Ainsley warmly, "Care of Magical Creatures is right up there and I'm pleased to be an O student in Care of Magical Creatures as well. Herbology is a weaker area for me and that's to be expected as plants bore me."

"I'm the opposite of Hugo, " piped up Stephanie, "By far my strongest areas are in subjects that require wandwork. My only O was in Charms, which I know to be my best subject. But I also got Es in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration. I sincerely believe that had I grown up in the Wizarding World instead of being muggleborn that I would've been an O student in all three subjects this year. And I'm sure I can become an O student in both Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration next year."

"I love your self confidence, Stephanie," said Lily crisply, "Plus, you're a hardworking student so I know you'll put the necessary effort into bringing those grades up to where you want them to be next year."

"Stephanie did fail Potions," though," pointed out Samantha.

"I suck at Potions and I always will. And I HATE Potions," said Stephanie passionately, "Such a fiddly subject. I don't know what's worse between muggle Chemistry and wizarding Potions."

"My grades are the same as Devon's," observed Samantha, "I think time will tell what kind of student I will be. I think I might prove to be a late bloomer like Neville Longbottom was. Not really much to say about my scores. I think I've yet to discover my areas of strength and weakness."

"I was mostly a straight O student, "said Lily in a voice that oozed pride without being boastful, "I wouldn't say I have a favorite subject. However, the subjects I care most about doing well in are Charms and Potions. My Grandma Lily was said to have been an excellent Potions student and her wand was said to have been excellent for Charm work. I have an extremely similar wand to the wand she used. These are things I bear in mind and even so because I bare her name. That said, it is an indisputable truism that Defense Against the Dark Arts is our most important subject."

"Coagulations on being tops in our year, Lily" said Hugo sincerely, "I'm super duper proud of you."

"We all are," added Devon with a smile and Ainsley, Samantha, and Stephanie nodded.

Lily had been the best, but everyone was happy with their results, even those who set goals to improve. Apart from their history scores, the only subject any of them failed was Stephanie failing Potions and that was to be expected. All of them had easily earned entry into second year.

That night after dinner, James approached Lily,

"Lily," said James calmly, "I'd like to speak with you about something one on one.

"Of course, baby bro," replied Lily instantly.

"Thanks, big sis," replied James and he led Lily up to his room.

"Lily," said James in a crystal clear voice once they were inside of James's room, "There is the possibility that you will be one of my students year after next when Wandmaking classes begin."

"I think that's highly likely," said Lily.

"As such," continued James, "There's is something I need to tell you. When you are in my classes, I will not treat you as a sister or as a friend. I will treat you as a student and I will treat you just like any other student."

"That's the way it should be," said Lily approvingly, "I am assuming you mean that you will not hesitate to give me a poor grade, criticize my work, or point out I'm doing poorly at something if that is the case and you will be completely fair and honest."

"Yes,' said James, "But there's something else as well, "And that has to do with how we address each other."

"You mean none of this "big sis" and "baby bro" stuff while in class. We must call each other James and Lily in that classroom," guessed Lily.

"You have the right idea," said James clearly, "But we need to go further. We will not even call each other James and Lily in that classroom. I will call you Miss Potter and you will address me as Professor Potter. This is how students and professors always address each other and I do not wish to make any exceptions as I don't want any potential for a show of favoritism to exist. You have my word that this will not affect our relationship outside of that classroom."

"You're absolutely right James," said Lily seriously, "I'm glad to see you already thinking about how to handle the position in a professional manner. Personal relationships must never interfere with a person's job and favoritism or any appearance thereof is a no-no for teachers in their classrooms."

On Wednesday, June 31st, 2020, the Hogwarts Express took the students home for the summer. James, Hugo, Devon, Samantha, Ainsley, Stephanie, and Lily all sat in the very back compartment of the Hogwarts Express. They talked about the year gone by and when the lunch trolley came around, Lily, being the generous girl that she was, paid for all seven of them.

As it so happened, Albus had deboarded the Hogwarts Express and found Harry and Ginny before James and Lily.

When they found Harry, Ginny, and Albus, James and Lily exchanged hugs with their immediate family and Harry and Ginny side Apparated the kids home with Harry taking James and Lily and Ginny taking Albus.

James, Albus, and Lily were happy to be home at Potter Manor for the summer and enjoyed sleeping in their own beds that night.
