I've adopted this story from myself. . . Talk about child neglect. Anyways, sorry for the inconvenience. Hope all my fans that didn't know about this story before, enjoy!
I tried to scream again, but nothing came out. My wand was near my trunk, so I couldn't do anything, could I? Were there any spells that would harm someone without using my wand? Yes!
Stupify! I thought. The figure shot back and crashed into the side of the house. I grabbed my wand. "Lumos."
My wand lit up and I saw Edward standing next to the wall of my room.
"'ello? Vat do you need?" I asked, breathless.
"You had a bad dream, I was going to wake you."
"Oui, I 'ad a bad dream, but you vere standing over my bed. Zat is not vaking me up."
"I'm sorry, but you kept whispering, 'Cedric! Don't die! Harry, who killed Cedric? Voldemort's back.' I felt the need to wake you."
I was feeling a little creeped out that he was watching me sleep. I walked over to the walls and pulled back the curtains. There, by the back door, was my owl.
"Lumiere!" I said, opening the door, and letting her in.
"What are you doing? Can't you see that is a wild animal?"
I laughed. "You do not know anyzing about ze vizarding vorld do you? An owl iz 'ow ve send mail to one anozzer. It iz faster and more efficient than vat Muggles do today."
"That is a mail carrier?" Edward asked in disbelief.
"No, it is my pet owl. She zends and retrieves my mail for me. I 'ave no need to ever leave zee 'ouse." I reached down and she climbed on my arm. I untied my letter and read it over. It was in code that Gabrielle and I knew. Undeceifered, it said:
Dear Fleur,
How is living with Muggles? Madame Maxine told me everything. She says that Dumbledore told her. I hope you are well. Please, send me knowing you are fine. I am terribly worried that you may be sucked dry. Let Lumiere rest. She had to fly all the way from England. The funeral for Cedric was today. There was a lot of questions about your whereabouts, but Madame Maxine said that you were too shaken and terrified to leave the carriage. Your 'friends' send their regards.
Your sister,
Gabrielle
I smiled. "Who is it from?" Edward asked.
"None of your buzness voo my mail iz from. Zis is a private matter."
"Then, tell me who Cedric is."
I sighed and tears started to come to my eyes. I blinked a few times before willing myself not to cry.
"Zedric vas a Trivisard champion, such as moi. Ve 'ad zree tasks to complete, and on ze zird task, Zedric and 'arry disappeared from ze maze. Zey came back wiz 'arry over Zedric's dead body, right in front of me. I vaz one of ze first to notice Zedric was dead."
A few tears fell, but I wiped them away quickly.
"Who killed him? Harry?"
I shook my head and laughed. "No! 'arry is supposed to kill ze one zat killed Zedric. Viktor and I found out zat Zedric vaz killed by you-know-voo."
"No, I don't know."
"I von't zay 'is name. It curses you, makes you zink avful zings."
"Then write it."
I shook my head, sitting on the bed, folding my paper up and pointing my wand at my trunk, using a silent spell so that they wouldn't figure it out. I opened it and it magically became a closet with a desk. Edward gasped.
"Magic doez zat." I stated, shrugging my shoulders. I touched my wand to a board of wood, and it became a file folder. I filed the letter under Gabrielle and pulled out a new sheet of parchment and a quill with some ink.
Dear Gabrielle,
I am fine, I am sorry I haven't written, but I have just arrived and fell asleep. The Muggles are very nice and gave me my own room with is the Beauxbatons blue color. It is beautiful and made of glass. Tell my 'friends' that I say hi as well. What is Viktor Krum up to? Is Hogwarts doing okay? When are you going back to Grandmother's?
Love your sister,
Fleur
I rolled it up and touched my wand to it, ceiphering it so that no one but her could read it. I took out a new sheet of parchemnt.
"Ezme is teaching my ztudies, correct?" I asked Edward, who was leaning over my shoulder.
"Um, yes. She will be."
Dear Madame Maxine,
I am fine, but my studies are not. I am going to need my O.W.L's for my sixth year. The Muggle woman knows about magic and will be able to give it to me if you send directions on how it is to be given. Gabrielle sent me a letter and she said she knew of what happened. How could you and Dumbledore tell her? I am sorry, Madame, I didn't mean to be cross. Thank you, and if you do not remember, I took. . .
I got up and went over to my trunk, pulling out all of my course books. There was Ancient Runes, Arithmacy, Astrology, Potions, Herbology, Divination Transfiguration, Charms, and Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Ancient Runes, Arithmacy, Astology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Divination, Charms, Herbology, Potions, and Transfiguration.
Your student,
Fleur
"You took all these classes?" Edward asked. I nodded, rolling up the paper and putting them on Lumiere's leg. She tried to flutter away.
"Vait, you need to rest." I conjured an owl cage, and she got in, falling asleep. "Do you 'ave zomezing I can put vater in for 'er?"
Edward nodded, but Alice came running in, carrying a canary yellow bowl. It matched Beauxbatons perfectly.
"Merci." (Thank you.)
She nodded. "Oui, Du Rien." (Yes, you're welcome.)
I used Aquamenti and the bowl filled with water, which Lumiere flew to all to quickly.
"Is that a bird? Why is there a bird in the house?"
"She iz my owl, she zendz me mail."
"Really?" Alice asked, skeptical.
"Alice, I saw it." Edward said.
"What were you doing here in the morning, this early anyway?" Alice asked, crossing her arms and leaning on one leg.
"Oui, vat vere you doing in 'ere?"
"I heard Fleur have a bad dream. I came in here to check on her."
"How come I didn't hear her have a bad dream and I am right next to her bedroom?"
Edward looked around the room for answers. Alice gasped. "Bella is going to kill you, Edward."
"Vat iz it?" I asked Alice. She glared at Edward and then turned to me.
"Edward likes you. He thinks you are pretty."
I laughed. "Zat is just the veela talking."
"Veela?" Edward asked, uncertain yet relieved.
"It iz a magical creature. My Grandmere is a full, and I am 'alf. It causez any male vithin a certain distance to be attracted to me, no matter what. I can't control it. But, the guy can."
"So I was here because of your magic?"
I shook my head. "You vere 'ere because you vanted to be 'ere."
Edward's eyes bulged. "But, I love Bella!"
"I know you do, so you need to stop vanting to get to know me. I don't vant to get to know you."
"Burn!" Alice yelled. I was confused, then looked around wildly.
"Where?"
Alice laughed. "No, it is an American expression for when you tell someone off, or say something that they can't respond to."
I nodded, thinking I got it. "I am not one vor American slang."
"I noticed." Edward said, "I forgot to ask earlier, who is Viktor Krum."
I blushed and looked down. "Um, a crush of mine. Ve vere champions togezer at 'ogwarts."
"Is he your boyfriend?" Alice asked, giddy.
I shook my head. "No, 'ee iz too good vor me. He is a famous Quidditch player, top zeeker in Bulgaria."
"I highly doubt he is too good for you. You are beautiful, smart, and caring."
Alice and I looked at him cautiously. "Vat?" I shrieked.
"Edward, think about Bella! Why are you flirting with Fleur?"
"I- what? I am not!"
"You are too!"
"You know, zey zay zat vampire males are zupposed to be 'andsome, but you aren't even cute." I told him, coldly. I didn't want to break up him and the Muggle.
"Are you hungry, Fleur?" Alice asked me after a few moments of silence. I nodded, and she led me to the kitchen, where Esme was making a buffet of food.
"Zis iz too much." I said, looking at all of it.
"Well, I didn't know what you would like, so I made something of everything. Bella stayed over, so she will be eating with you as well. Do you want anything to drink?"
"Vater iz fine." I said, watching my weight. I needed to stay skinny. I had to tailer to take in my clothes, should I gain five pounds.
Bella came down, tears in her eyes. She glared at me. Uh oh. Edward better not have done what I think he did.
"Bonne Journee, Bella. 'ow are you today?"
She started to cry. I took a wary step back. "I hate you! Ever since you came along, Edward has been acting weird. Then, I wake up to find this!" Esme and Alice are shocked into silence while Bella throws a piece of paper at me. I picked it up and read: Bella, I am sorry, but we are through.
Sorry, for this inconvenience, again. Review!
