Fleur pov holiday break
Sitting in my room I smile watching my chick sleeping on my pillow, she seemed upset when she showed up going so far as to set herself on fire on Alloutte while screeching loudly at her.
It took hours to calm her down and many burned outfits, poor Olympe got her hair burned we had to cut it because the damage although she seems to like the new style.
"Fleur, tell me you are not planning to leave again" Apolline demands barging in.
"No, I thought about it but Fate keeps insisting I stay right here, what ever is happening I'm supposed to stay" I answer knowing she hates when I take off and would have trouble explaining why her supposed oldest daughter disappeared from school.
"She's not going to burn the presents is she?"
"No, she was upset because she hatched a nest and the mother came back and took over with her child and grandchild"
"Poor dear" Apolline whispers petting her head.
"My Eternal told her to go play and learn because she's to young to worry about chicks" I add.
"If she's as young as you say I agree, she should have a many years just enjoying her life before worrying about young"
Nodding I get up picking up the Phoenix hearing her chirping in displeasure flapping her wings before glaring at me "don't look at me like that you need to eat" I tease hearing Apolline following me out.
"Oh the baby" Gabby cheers running up holding a mango chunk out to her.
Smiling I watch as the she moves to Gabby's shoulder grooming her hair.
I laugh seeing Olympe tense when she moves to her repeating the grooming before nuzzling her "you act like your scared of her" I tease.
"I'd rather not have my hair burned again" she says carefully handing fruit to her.
I laugh joining my family as my chick sings to Olympe "she seems smaller then last time" she mutters ignoring everyone looking at her.
"She is, she's at a point of having just learned to fly she's an actual chick right now instead of being almost grown"
"Why does she come in different ages?"
"When she been with My Eternal she's always older I believe it's for protection but when she's been away she shows up younger, the moment we learn to fly we are taking to our true home being taught by fate so she's just taking a break from learning" I answer.
Olympe nods and goes to speak only to have fruit stuffed in her mouth by an overly helpful Phoenix chick, laughing I watch as the chick tries to shove more in putting pomegranate juice on her face.
Seeing Olympe give up on speaking and glare at the chick Alloutte hands her a napkin "you have juice on your face" she says shaking with slight laughter.
"As bad as Fleur trying to force feed me as a chick" she mutters after wiping her face.
"Not true, I managed to feed you all fruit as children including Gabby and as a chick I tried to shove my fruit in your ear at points" I say laughing.
"Yes, how could I possibly forget trying clean mango mash from ear or waking up to an excited chick shoving it up my nose missing my mouth" Olympe says.
"I heard a Phoenix is being cared for by a house elf here in France" I say changing the subject.
"Really a house elf? They normally end up with humans or creatures more close to humans" Apolline says frowning.
"Yes, the Phoenix has apparently been in this elf's family care for generations, those who've seen it swear she must be ancient because she seems to forget simple things such as sleeping, or eating, I thought about reaching out but Fate doesn't agree" I say softly.
"It's possible she's nesting, elf's would be a good choice they would respect her and care for her even protect her" Olympe adds.
Nodding I smile at her "the Ravenclaw heir hosted a Yula ball two nights ago" Alloutte says showing me a picture from the news paper.
Looking at it I see a photo of two women with similar looks stood by a Fury "she had the Malfoy family there with the Tonks family, both are from the Black family" Alloutte adds.
Frowning I look at the Ravenclaw heir with her arm around a blonde girl dancing "Lovegood" I mutter seeing the name.
"A very distant cousin to Ravenclaw I believe they are Rowena Ravenclaw's mother's brothers descendants"
"They married a Malfoy?" I ask.
"Yes, she's a lovely woman I met her once when she and her husband were traveling looking for some creatures they were trying to prove are real"
