Welcome to Beauxbatons
The next morning when the students arrived in Hogsmeade for their day trip Laura headed for the train station. She stood on the platform trunk beside her waiting for the train. She kept looking round hoping no one would see her, Oliver had gone off with the twins planning to meet Laura later on. The train came in, the porter helped her with her trunk as Laura took one last look around before hopping on finding a compartment. She sat down looking out the window. As the train started to slowly move, Laura jumped up running out of compartment she ran towards one of doors trying to open it but it was shut tight. She pressed her hand against the glass.
"No turning back now' she thought. She slowly made her way back to her compartment to see Dumbledore sitting happily reading a book.
"Professor?" Laura whispered. He looked up closing his book giving her a warm smile.
"Afternoon Laura." He replied.
"What are you doing here?" Laura asked.
"I couldn't let you travel by yourself now could I.'' Dumbledore replied.
"I'm quite capable of riding a train by myself Professor." She said sitting across from him.
"I understand that but I thought you would like to tell me the real reason behind your transfer." He replied.
"I'd rather not." Laura said and he nodded.
"It wouldn't have anything to do with a certain Quidditch captain?" He asked causing Laura to blush slightly.
"It has everything to do with him."
"Don't you have the same feelings for him?" Dumbledore asked, Laura looked out the window watching the rolling hills go past.
"Of course I love him, but I'm scared that he'll find out my secret and hate me forever." Laura replied a hint of anger and sadness in her voice.
"Does Oliver really need to know his world does not exist to you? Do you really think Oliver would stop loving you because of that fact?, Laura you are more magical than any Muggle I've ever met before, you believe in this world, in magic. You can go far in our world. Why do you think I let you through the barrier." Dumbledore said looking at her over his glasses.
"I wish I was as positive as you." Laura admitted as the train started to slow.
"You will always have a place at Hogwarts School, and if you need anything, a chat or law past owl me." Dumbledore replied, Laura got up giving him a hug slipping an envelope into his hands.
"Could you give this to Oliver please?" Dumbledore nodded then she made her way off the train.
She stepped onto the platform grabbing her trunk wheeling it behind her, the last time she was on this platform her and Sara were off to Hogwarts. Laura sighed, a carriage was waiting for her but she wasn't sure where. Just the moment something appeared in the distance. A large carriage pulled by four giant horses, it landed with a soft thump beside the tracks, the door opened and a large woman emerged gracefully making her way over to Laura.
"You must be Laura." She said her French accent quite strong. Her black hair was pulled into a tight bun. Her robes made out of finest black satin. Her olive skin shined in the mid morning sun.
"And you must be Madam Maxime." Laura replied.
"Yes, Albus spoke of you as if you were his own child. I am very happy to except you into Beauxbatons, you will enjoy your years with us." Laura nodded politely, then followed Madam Maxime towards the carriage getting on. The door closed behind them as the carriage rose, flying off in the direction it had just come from and the start of Laura's new life.
Oliver entered the great hall for lunch, there wasn't many students because they were still at Hogsmeade. Oliver had returned early after Sara had given him the letter from Laura. It didn't explain much only that she was sorry and would miss everyone. He was playing with his food when Dumbledore came over.
"Mr Wood I have a letter for you from Laura." He said, Oliver looked up.
"So she's really gone then." Oliver replied.
"I'm afraid so." He said handing the envelope to Oliver.
"Has she gone back to her family?" Oliver asked.
"No she's attending another school which I'm sure she'll tell you about, good day to you." Dumbledore replied then walked off. Oliver opened the envelope pulling out a letter then read it.
Dear Oliver,
As I write this I can just picture your face, but don't worry about me I'm fine and will keep in contact even if you don't reply. I never meant for any of this to happen. I was happy with the life I had until you entered it making me even more happier. I already miss your kisses, your gorgeous chocolate brown eyes which seem to make me melt at the slightest glance. I hope you can forgive me for all the pain that I've cause, I love you with all of my heart. I eagerly await your reply. All my love Laura.
Oliver folded up the letter with a sigh, then got up walking out of the great hall heading to the common room.
As the carriage came to a stop Laura got out to see a huge castle, almost the same as Hogwarts, Madam Maxime stood next to her.
"Welcome to Beauxbatons." Maxime said leading Laura up to the castle, they entered the castle. It was nothing like Hogwarts because the inside looked more like a house. In front of her was a large staircase, to her right Laura could see quite a large living room where she guessed they spent their free time. On her left was a hallway with a sign that said to dining area, the area had a warm homey feeling to it, it made her feel safe almost as if this was where she was meant to be. Laura turned back to the staircase to see a girl round her age in light blue silk robes with blonde white hair coming down.
"Ah Fleur perfect timing, Laura this is Fleur Delacour she'll be showing you around." Maxime said.
"Good evening Laura I'll show you to your room." Fleur replied leading her up the stairs.
"This is a very beautiful place ." Laura said and Fleur smiled.
"Indeed it is, you will be sharing a room with me." Fleur informed her.
"Great, so is this an all girl school?" Laura asked and Fleur nodded.
"Indeed it is, every girl that graduates from here becomes highly successful, Ah here we are." Fleur said coming onto the second floor, all the other doors had two names on them, right at the end of the hall was another staircase Laura frowned wondering where it lead to. Fleur opened the first door on the left walking in with Laura behind her. Laura stood in the doorway taking in her surroundings. An open wood fireplace, two double beds across from it then on the left was a window with a seat, on the right was an open door which led into the bathroom then a closed double door.
"Well this is amazing but what is through those double doors?" Laura asked walking into the middle of the room.
"A walk in wardrobe, with a full length mirror." Fleur replied with a longing sigh.
"Well then I'll let you unpack, your school robes are on your bed, I'll return with a welcome gift." Fleur said leaving.
"Home sweet home." She whispered and started unpacking. Not long later Laura was in her blue robes sitting on the window seat writing a letter to Oliver when Fleur entered with two other girls behind her.
"Laura I want to introduce you to my friends, Casey Baker and Holly Newman." Fleur said.
"Hey there." Laura replied and the girls smiled.
"We're not normally allowed to be out of class but since your new Headmistress gave us the evening off." Holly said playing with her red hair which reached her shoulders.
"You have night classes?" Laura asked.
"Yes only two because we sleep late." Casey replied her blonde curls bobbing as she spoke.
"Are you guys always so formal?" Laura asked as Fleur quickly closed the door.
"No, we get told to act like this because we're ladies." Fleur replied rolling her eyes.
"Yeah but when no ones around we're normal as." Holly added and Casey giggled.
"Nice." Laura remarked.
"Oh here's your welcoming gift." Fleur said handing Laura a cup filled with ice cream and chocolate sauce.
"Ohmygod you shouldn't of." Laura replied digging her spoon in.
"Well it's the way we welcome people into our group." Casey said smiling.
"Well thanks." Laura replied as her letter fell to the ground, Holly bent down picking it up.
"Whose Oliver?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Fleur asked sitting next to Laura.
"Is he hot?" Casey asked Laura held up her hands stopping anymore questions they might have.
"Oliver is a wonderful, loving guy. Yes he's hot, he plays Quidditch and he loves me." Laura replied as the three girls sighed.
"Do tell us more about him." Fleur begged the others nodded in agreement so Laura sighed wondering where to start.
