When they landed she stumbled for a bit, but then regained her balance. This wasn't her first time apparating so she already knew what to expect and didn't fall down, unlike James who was laying on the ground a few feet away. She walked over and reached her hand out to him and pulled him up.

He straightened his glasses and dusted his clothes off muttering an embarrassed," Thanks." She slightly giggled at his embarrassment and turned around to face the house she would be staying at for the next month. The sight she saw before her threw her off guard. By the way they were dressed she wouldn't have guessed they lived in a house of this size, James was wearing a red t-shirt and some faded jeans and Euphemia was in a floral sundress, but this was quite the shock.

She must have been staring because Euphemia said," It's not that big. I mean you must be used to living in a big space because Hogwarts is huge." This was true, but Hogwarts was a boarding school so there needed to be a lot of room for all of the students and teachers. This house though, this house just that, a home. There was only one family living in this house, three people, not every single child in the UK born with magic in their blood between the ages of 11 and 17.

"Yes, but still, this is only a house for three people and it's almost half the size of Hogwarts," she continued to gale at the large mansion in front of her.

Euphemia chuckled and ruffled her hair," Well my husband, Fleamont, inherited this house from his parents. I was shocked at the size when we moved in as well, but I've gotten used to it by now." She walked forward and touched her wand to the gate and opened it for them. They walked past the gate and up the long driveway.

Coralie realized just how late it was as the sun was beginning to set as they walked and she yawned and subconsciously leaned on James. When they got to the door Euphemia opened it and was greeted by her husband with a kiss.

As he helped her remove her coat he finally noticed the small girl cowering behind his wife, "Hello there, my name's Fleamont, what's yours?" He smiled at her gently. James looked just like a clone of him only with the greying hair.

"U-um hi, my name is C-Coralie Dumbledore. Um i-it's very nice nice to meet you sir," She stuttered taking his enormous hand in her extremely petite one and slowly shaking it up and down.

"Now dears, it's getting late. Coralie, I'll have Ginger take your things to your room," a house elf appeared beside her and took her bags," and I will get started on dinner. James, would you be a dear and show Coralie to her room," Euphemia said handing her purse and sunglasses to her husband and took her sun hat off, hanging the hat on the coat rack.

"Come on, Cori!" James yelled in excitement grabbing her hand in his and taking off down the hall and up the stairs. The hallway they turned onto was very long. James slowed to a stop in front of a plain white wooden door.

"This is your room. Mine is across the hall if you need me. When dinner is ready Ginger will be up to get you, okay?" He said leaving her in front of her door and going into his room.

She walked into her room and was immediately shocked by the simple elegance of the space.
