When we arrived in France to shop for school, the sun was shining, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. "I could get used to this," said Sirius. "Don't the Blacks have a villa in France? You could move there while I'm at school." Sirius considered it for a moment and nodded. "What an excellent idea Jade." When we finished our shopping, I went back to the Potter Residence for the last time. Before I left, I asked Milly if I could free her and get her to come join me in my new home, away from the Potter's, which she enthusiastically. I gave her my old cardigan and she swore a new oath to me, as my personal house elf.
I said my goodbyes to the other house elves, tidied my room and packed all of my things in my trunk. I bought the largest trunk there was and you could actually go inside of it. There were 3 storage rooms, a library, kitchenette, lounge and study. Once my room was bare, which didn't take long, I apparated to Grimmauld Place where Sirius and Remus were waiting for me. "Got everything? No trouble from the Potters?" Sirius asked. "No, they were too busy with the Saviour's 11th birthday Party, which is apparently the most important day of the year." Sirius sighed and we flooed to the Ministry.
A few weeks past, and Sirius, Remus and I had completely settled into our new home in France. I'm already fluent in French, Spanish, Bulgarian and German, so I don't need to worry about understanding people. I swim in the pool everyday, and we go to the beach at least twice a week.. The house is beautiful and we've done a fair bit of sight seeing.
1st September
Today I finally leave for Beauxbatons. While I will miss Siri and Remy, I'm super excited to make new friends my own age. Unless nobody likes me. I already know the entire curriculum up to fifth year, so school will mainly be for meeting new people and having fun. I'm just glad I'm not at Hogwarts where Harry would probably make my life a living hell and Dumbledore would never leave me alone with his meddling. Milly came into my room at 9 O'clock and told me that breakfast was ready, so I headed down to find Sirius and Remus waiting for me. I put on a black skater skirt, pink ruffled one shoulder top, some silver sandals, my favourite heart shaped sunglasses and a nude handbag. I floated my trunk downstairs too as I hadn't learned feather light charms yet and it was too heavy to carry.
We apparated together to the train station and found a compartment on my own. I got out a book on learning to speak Mermish and read for about 10 minutes until a girl who looked to be about 14 came in and asked, "Est-ce que tu parles français?"
"Oui," I replied. "Il y a quelqu'un d'assis, là?" I shook my head. "Non."
"Puis-je?" I nodded. "Je m'appelle Fleur Delacour."
"Jade Black." And from there, a great friendship was born.
A/N The French translates into, "Do you speak French?" "Yes" "Is anyone sitting here?" "No." "May I?" "My name is Fleur Delacour."
