Flora-Part 3:

Flora and Tina were still so in the moment that they hadn't realised Queenie had arrived and their wands had been confiscated.

"Can't believe I'm doing this," Queenie mumbled, "Porpentina Esther and Flora Eliza!" and finally she got the response she wanted as both sisters looked at her, "right now you are both looking at me care to explain what is going on her?"

"Care to explain who those two are first," Flora said, "I want to know who they are before anyone moves."

"No Flora," Queenie said, "and, until you both calm down, your wands are confiscated."

"You can't do that!" Flora said before Newt quickly pulled Flora away from her sisters.

"What are we going to do? Tina and Flora can't be around each other this fired up," Jacob said.

"I'll take Tina down to the case if you two can handle Flora," Newt said, "I need to talk to Tina anyway."

"I can handle Flora," Queenie said before Jacob took over holding Flora as Newt and Tina went down into the case.

Jacob only let go of Flora once Newt and Tina were safely locked inside the case by Queenie.

"Flora don't argue for once. Please just go to your room and calm down," Queenie said. Jacob wondered how Queenie could be so calm.

"Not until you tell me who he is," Flora said.

"Not until you've calmed down. Now go to your room please."

"You're not my mum," Flora said.

"Just go to your room please," Jacob said and, to his surprise, Flora headed to her room slamming the door behind her.

Queenie sighed and sat down at the table before Jacob sat down beside her.

"Care to explain what is going on here?" he asked.

"Flora is the youngest of us three. Teenie and I were glad when she was set up with her family as we'd never have to worry about her again," Queenie explained, "yes we were all at Ilvermony together but we didn't associate with Flora. In fact we disowned her. She stayed with the foster family after I started Ilvermony and then attended the school and stayed with them during the holidays. She's a Thunderbird like Tina. Without Flora around Tina and I were finally able to get over our parents' death and make a future together. Flora was never meant to come back."

Jacob sat next to her in silence for a while before turning to her,

"What did Flora do that was so bad?" he asked.

"Jacob please, I don't want to talk about it, at least not today." Jacob nodded,

"Then I won't push you to answer, at least until you're ready to answer that question." Queenie turned to Jacob,

"Thank you honey," she smiled.

"How can you be so calm?"

"Because if someone doesn't those two will kill each other. That's how much Tina hates Flora."

"And you?"

"She's still my sister but I can't forgive her for what she did."

Flora was laid on her bed. It still had the same sheets on from when she first left for her care family while Tina and Queenie had been in their lower years at Ilvermorny. She couldn't believe that her sisters hated her so much after all the years that had passed. She held back the tears and thought about everything that had happened.

Tina was sat on the steps to the shed with the Niffler on her lap. Newt was feeding the creatures while she calmed dos. For once Pickett wasn't with Newt. He was sat on Tina's shoulder. She was calming down as she watched Newt feeding the animals, the case seemed to be providing her with the calmness she needed. She wanted her wand but knew that Queenie was the only one calm enough to handle a wand.

"You calmed down now enough to talk?" Newt asked as he suddenly appeared beside her.

"I don't know who I want to blame more. Madam Picquery for not talking to me about all of this or Flora," Tina sighed.

"I don't think you can blame Flora. It seems like Madam Picquery is the one that orchestrated all of this."

"You don't know what Flora did, the hurt she caused me and Queenie." Newt sighed,

"When will you say what she did?"

"When I can even bring myself to speak about it," Tina said before clearly going into her thoughts again, stroking the Niffler's back as Newt wondered what was going on with Tina and Queenie and Flora. He watched Tina with the Niffler and smiled before feeling Pickett nipping at his hand. He looked at the Bowtruckle and let him climb into his hand before heading over to the Bowtruckle tree with Pickett.

"Newt!" Tina called after a while and waited until she could hear the sounds of rushing feet in her direction.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I've just figured something out," Tina said, "I think I know how the President has been keeping an eye on Flora. I heard something back at Ilvermorny…"

"What was it?" Newt asked interrupting Tina.

"I heard from someone that she was staying with someone who had the surname Picquery. She was there the day Flora was chosen to be a Thunderbird."

"So you think that's how she's been keeping an eye on Flora?" Newt asked.

"Lucianna I think her name was. Maybe I can ask Flora. I need to know the answer."

Queenie knocked on Flora's door and opened it, noticing that her younger sister hadn't even started unpacking the few things she had.

"Anything you particularly want to eat?" she asked.

"Strudel," Flora replied and the older witch sighed before heading out of Flora's room.

"Honey can you go and check what Newt and Tina are up to and let them know that I'll be making dinner soon," Queenie said to Jacob who nodded and headed over to the case.

He unlocked the case and knocked on the case and listened before hearing footsteps and Newt carefully opened the case.

"Queenie's wondering how much longer you'll be as she's doing dinner."

"We'll be right up," Newt said before disappearing again.

Flora came out of her room and looked around to see Queenie making dinner and the other three already sat at the table talking. She went and sat in the seat that was obviously either hers or Queenie's but furthest away from Tina. The older sister watched her younger sister before the food arrived at the table, followed by Queenie.

The atmosphere was tense but Flora and Tina had both calmed down but Flora was barely saying a word. In fact Newt couldn't remember Flora even uttering one word. He wondered how someone could be so firey one minute and so quiet the next.

"Flora?" Newt asked, "who did you stay with during the holidays while you were attending Ilvermorny?" He knew he had to ask as Tina wouldn't.

"Oh a witch called Lucianna Picquery took me in. I'm not sure if she's related to the President or not. She took me in when I was 8. Queenie had just started Ilvermorny…" she said before stopping as she felt everyone's eyes on her.

Tina was furious and Queenie could see this and read both sisters' thoughts. Seraphina Picquery was going to have a lot to answer for in the morning. That was for sure.
