The Exchange Student ( A Harry Potter Fan Fiction)

Chapter 1- Flourish & Blotts

Mrs. Fournier trudged tiredly to Claire's room to wake her up, she knocked and barged into Claire's room, Mrs. Fournier was very impatient at the moment.

" Get up Claire, we need to go to Diagon Alley to get your supplies for Hogwarts" she said.

" But I'm to tired" Claire said sleepily. " Five 'ore minutes mother" Claire continued.

Mrs. Fournier sighed and finally agree and gingerly closed the door. Claire rubbed her eyes and yawned " 'Ogwarts oh 'Ogwarts what's going to 'appen there?"

She got up after her five minutes were up and rummaged through her dresser drawer for something to wear, she threw out all her Beauxbatons uniforms and mementos from there, she didn't need them to mock her and remind her about her old school.

Finally, after a well-spend 10 minutes Claire picked out something perfect to wear.

" Mother, I'm ready" Claire called as she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.

" It takes you 10 minutes to find a pair of jeans and a tee shirt" her mother nagged.

Claire ignored her rude comment and cursed under her breath. Claire and her mother apparated to Diagon Alley, Claire felt like a child because she had to hold her mother's hand while apparating somewhere, but it was the only way of transportation.

" Let's see, you need all year 4 books. All of them are sold at the Flourish and Blotts" Mrs Fournier said pointing to the Flourish and Blotts with her available hand and grasped her daughter's hand with the other.

Claire nodded and tried to get released from her mother's grasp " Mother can you let go!" Claire shouted. Mrs. Fournier released and rolled her eyes, she was not furious but not happy at her daughter.

Both of them walked to Flourish and Blotts side-by-side, Claire opened the door first and heard the little bell ding above her, she hated that noise as much as the next person.

" Greetings" the shopkeeper said in a raspy voice.

" Good morning" Mrs. Fournier said in a delightful voice.

" Morning" Claire muttered, her mother nudged her and Claire repeated herself louder this time, " Morning" she said with a fake smile.

" Looking for books?" the shopkeeper said and laughed at his own joke.

" Oh yes, we need all of these books by next week" Mrs. Fournier said while showing him the list.

" Ah, I see. All of those books are right of there" he said and pointed to where they where. He left them and helped another customer.

" Claire I'll look for the books, you can roam around the shop or look for books with me" Mrs. Fournier stated.

" I'll look for with books with you" Claire mumbled and then plastered a smile on her face. " I'll find my Charms book" she continued. Her mother acknowledged and they both departed.

Claire looked at every book spine for the Charms book, but no luck.

" Looking for this book" a tall, brunette with stormy gray eyes spat.

" Y-Yes" Claire muttered.

" To late" the girl said with a sly smile on her face. " I'm Kaylee Johnson" Kaylee continued.

" H-Hi Kaylee" Claire stuttered.

" Do you always stutter? Anyways who the bloody hell are you?" Kaylee sneered.

" I'm Claire Fournier, and no I do not always stutter" she said gaining her self-confidence back.

" Whatever, I don't care and I never was" Kaylee said turning around and finding her parents.

" I despise that girl already" Claire muttered and then cursed under her breath again.
