Authors Note: Ok so next chapter, obviously I don't own Harry Potter, I'm just playing, and for my full disclaimer check the last Chapter. I know how to speak French and so I thought it could be used in this chapter and I have tried to write Fleur's accent on some words, anyway for those of you who cannot speak French, the translation is in Bold in brackets.
Carter walked along, she eventually came to a beach, where the sand was hot and the water was warm, she sat down to think about her journey so far. She was hungry, sore, tired, thirsty and sad about her parents' passing. Just as she was about to decide which direction to head, a surge of pain swept over her, she heard her parents final words and their screams, the pain became unbearable and she passed out unconscious on the beach, the pain had become worse this time, and around half an hour later she woke, in more pain.
Once the pain had died down, Carter started walking along the beach again, until she saw a beautiful garden and a tomb stone engraved: Here Lies Dobby, a free elf. She couldn't help but be curious, despite having gone through more than most adults; she was still a ten year old girl, who was never able to explore. As she got closer she noticed a cottage that was covered in shells, and looked very peaceful. Carter thought that because it wasn't around anyone else, the people who occupied it may be a wizards or witches, and so she went to go and knock on the door.
A young beautiful girl answered the door and looked at Carter, she was speechless, then another voice was heard saying "Victorie, Qui est à la porte?" (Victorie, who is at the door?)
"Je ne sais pas Maman!"(I do not know Mum!) said the girl 'Victorie'
Carter realised they were speaking French and decided to answer, because she learnt it from her mother, not knowing if she may need it. "Bonsoir, Je m'appelle Carter Elisabeth Nickel. Je suis désole pour intrusion. Je cherche pour Andromeda Tonks. Vous la connaissez?" (Good Evening, my name is Carter Elisabeth Nickel. I am sorry for intruding. I am looking for Andromeda Tonks. Do you know her?)
" Bonsoir Carter, c'est no problème pour votre intrusion, Oui je connais Andromeda, entrer s'il vous plait !" (Good Evening Carter, there is no problem of your intruding. Yes I know Andromeda please enter) said Victorie sweetly
"Excuse moi, mais parlez-vous anglais? Asked Carter (excuse me, but do you speak English ?)
"Yes, I do." Said Victorie, then another woman entered, who had silvery hair, and a flawless complection, looked at the two of them, and turned on Victorie, and spoke in English.
"Victorie, Who, izz this leetle girl? She asked
"She is a girl named Carter, who is looking for Andromeda, and I invited her in, as she looks so tired and hungry." Stated Victorie
The woman then looked at Carter and said "Who are you? Why are you looking for Andromeda? Why do you look as eef you are about to faint?"she asked kindly.
"I am Carter Nickel, I look as if I am about to faint because I was unconscious on the beach a few minutes ago, and am in extreme pain, and I am looking for Andromeda because she is now my legal guardian." Answered Carter
"What about your parents? Et Why are you een extreeme pain?" she asked
"um, well, my parents are dead and I was tortured" she answered, but before she had time to ask another question a turquoise haired boy bounded down the staircase, followed by a man with fiery red hair and a scarred face. The boy looked at Carter, and at Victorie, then asked who she was.
The older woman decided that she should introduce everyone and then explain why she was there. "My name ees Fleur, thees ees mon cheri Beell." Stated Fleur
Bill then continued "These are our children Victorie, Dominique and Louis," he pointed at each and "this man, is Teddy Lupin" he pointed at the turquoise haired one. Fleur then decided to introduce Carter.
"Thees ees Carter Neeckel, she ees lookeeng for Teddy's grandmozher and 'as been tortured. Her parents 'ave been keeled."
Teddy then looked at Carter and said "ok, I will take her to my Grandmother's, and she can explain from there. Thank you Fleur for keeping her here."
He helped her stand up and took her she said goodbyes and thank you's. After that he took her for side along apparition and appeared at the house.
