This is right after the end of OotP. Andree is a girl! The name Andre is a guys name, but I thought it sounded way too feminine, and besides I like it a whole lot better than the real female version: Andrea. So I added an extra 'e' to her name. Anyways, the meaning of the name is "courageous" and "unusual". I think names and their meaning are important.

Andree wandered around the shop full of British over priced tourist souvenirs, looking for something that might actually be worth buying. No such luck. The stuff was ridiculous. Dinnerware with the queen's face on it, huge bears bears for, well after being converted it would probably be too many dollars for just a stuffed bear. Snow globes. Snow globes everywhere! She had to get out. Just then she saw something that caught her eye. Resting on a shelf by the door was a crumpled up newspaper with a picture of man that looked a bit embarrassed and tired giving some sort of speech. At first it didn't seem to extraordinary, but then she realized that she could see his mouth moving, and a hand carry up a wrinkled handkerchief to wipe the sweet off his forehead.
After giving herself a good pinch, she went over and picked it up. Andree pulled the bit of paper straight with her hands and read the headline over the moving picture. HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED-RETURNS. She went on to read, "In a brief statement Friday night, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge confirmed that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has returned to this country and is active once more." .....Magic?
The red head read it through, front and back, wishing the whole thing was there. As it was, only that page of...Andree looked to the top and read The Daily Prophet, was there. Wondering if some kid printed it out, or if it was supposed to be some sort of English tabloid, Andree walked up the teenager at the cash register.
"Excuse me. Do you know what this is?" She asked. The kid pulled an earring for a few seconds thinking.
"Uhhh." The kid said uncertainly. "A piece of trash?"
Andree felt his befuddlement, but couldn't understand why he had said that. She knew it was confusing, but he could give her a straight answer.
"Isn't it a newspaper of some kind? A tabloid?" She tried again. He gave her an odd look.
"No...It's just a wrapper of something. I don't know what...I can't really make out what it says." He reached out his hand. "I'll throw it away for you."
Andree pulled it away from him, "No, that's alright. I'll just keep it." She folded and refolded it into a little square and shoved it in a black bag that had patches and buttons all over it's material.
"Thanks anyways!" She shouted over her shoulder as she walked out of the store.
Well, that was weird. That dude really didn't have a clue what I was talking about. Oh well, gotta get back to the bus! She thought to herself and ran over to the huge tour bus that was waiting in a little parking lot down the street.
