Authors Note: I own the plotline, the Nickel family and nada else.

The next day Carter awoke, and decided to write to her parents despite the fact that they would never get the letter, and she would send the owl up to her bedroom pretending that it was sent to them. Slowly she got up, and saw that everyone else in the dorm had left except Rose who was still sound asleep, Carter went to the bathroom filled a bucket up with ice cold water and poured it over Rose. Rose jerked up and Carter ran for it, so that she wouldn't get killed by Rose.

Down in the Common Room Scorpius and Albus were sitting waiting for the girls, then Carter ran in and hid behind Al. "Hey Guys" she said

"Hey, why are you hiding behind him?" asked Scorpius

"Rose" she replied

"Ahhhhhh" said Scorpius and Al

"CARTER ELISABETH NICKEL I WILL GET YOU! HOW DARE YOU POUR ICE COLD WATER OVER ME TO WAKE ME UP, JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL I GET DOWN THERE!" Rose yelled

"You genius Carter, you pranked Rose, we tried that but it didn't work" said James entering the Common Room

"Eep she's coming" Carter said hiding again "In my defence Rose, you sleep as if your dead, the only way I knew you were alive was with the movement of your chest."

"Still, I'm all wet now!" she screeched

"Um. Breakfast?" said Albus, and then they all moved down to the Great Hall, and there was everything you could imagine. Rose was stuffing her face full of bacon when the post came: Rose, Scorpius and Al all had letters from home and a Daily Prophet owl came along and Scorpius paid it. Rose's letter turned out to be two in one envelope which said:

Rose,
We miss you so much, it's not the same here without you either.
Hugo won't admit it but he does miss his big sister and we are so proud of you.
I'm happy that you made friends who aren't part of the family, and I hope your friend has woken up and is fine. I need to warn you that your dad wasn't too happy with you becoming friends with a Malfoy and his letter will not be happy.
Mum

The other letter said:

Rose,
I miss you and I am happy that you became a Gryffindor, however I am upset that you completely ignored me about the Malfoy boy, but you're like your mother and will not listen to me on everything so I am ok with it.
Love you
Dad

"Well he took it better than I thought he would" she said putting down the letter, then Scorpius read his letter:

Scorp,
It's great you're making friends, and yes there are many Weasleys. We miss you so much, it is very lonely here without you. Why was your friend unconscious? How is she now?
Mum and Dad

"Well that was short and blunt." Said Scorp reading it then he picked up the Daily Prophet and read it. Al read his letter next:

Dear Al,
You have beaten your Dad's record of visiting the hospital wing Hey, no fair Gin!
anyway Al, we are really proud of you and it figures you would become friends with the girl that said her guardian was snogging his girlfriend senseless. I hope she's ok and that she is awake now .Dad's been working really hard since you left check the Daily Prophet today, there should be something there.
Love
Lily, Mum & Dad

"Are we going to look at the Prophet then?" asked Al putting down the letter, and so they looked at the Prophet and it didn't take long to find what Lily had referred to in the letter. They all stared at the article staying quiet.

"Well I'll read then won't I?" said Carter "The Daily Prophet regrets to inform you that the deaths of David and Celeste Nickel still remain a mystery, it can now be revealed that the pair were murdered in their London home, however who by still remains a mystery." She looked down at her arm unnoticed by her friends. "Auror Mr. Ronald Weasley reveals that there were three different types of blood on the floor however only two dead people, however they found that the mysterious blood was exactly the same as another found seven years prior with the murders of Ariel and Kayla Nickel the couple's daughters." She said and couldn't continue and so Al started to read

"Anyone with any information about these people or the attack is urged to come forward and present information, Mr. Harry Potter (Head Auror, blah blah blah) has revealed that they have searched the area and checked everything, and nothing has been found about the other type of blood belongs to. Aurors are doing all they can with the help of other departments." He finished. "Carter are you related to these people? They have the same last name as you." He asked.

Quick come up with a lie Carter, you cannot tell them that your parents were found dead and that Kayla and Ariel Nickel were her sisters, she thought. "Yeah they are my Aunt and Uncle. Can I please borrow a quill I have to write to my parents?" She said, and Albus handed over some parchment and a quill and Carter wrote:

Dear Mum and Dad,
I miss you guys so much, I read about you in the Prophet and I am sorry for not going to the Malfoys but I had some reservations. It pains me that you will not get to read this ever because you left me to join Ariel and Kayla, but it wasn't as if it was your choice.
I continue to view yours and my sisters' murders over and over again, and the pain comes with it, and I don't have a choice.
I know you're watching over me and you are always with me, not necessarily physically but in my heart. I am still a clutz.

I think that you would be proud of me, even though I will never know for sure, I am a Gryffindor and I have friends for the first time in my life, and I know that isn't your fault about trying to protect me.
Scorpius is really nice and friendly, Rose is brilliant and Al is just amazing, and has more in common with me than the other two.

I love you and you will forever be in my heart
Carter

"I'm done" said Carter and then they walked onto the day. The rest of the day until the free period they worked all the time until the free period after lunch and so lessons were done for the day, Carter went alone up to the Owlery and sent the owl down to her dorm to return her the letter tomorrow.

The next day the owl screeched on the window and returned Carter her letter, which she put in the back pocket of the photo album that was previously owned by her mother. She decided that today she would try a different approach to wake Rose up; with James and Fred's help levitate her into the Great Hall unconscious and wake her up with the smell of bacon. This plan was perfectly executed and Rose was woken by the smell of bacon, Scorpius, Al and Carter all cracked up laughing at Rose's reaction and she blushed the Weasley red which clashed with her hair. Let's just say that she wasn't impressed.
