Authors Note: I don't own anything you recognise, I only own the Nickel Family (Carter, Estelle, Ariel, David, Kayla and Celeste) and the plot line

Carter Nickel walks alone feeling the pain that has been caused her. Nobody knows who she was, or if she was even alive except for those Death Eaters ( Rodolphus Lestrange, Rabastian Lestrange and Yaxley) who thought that she was either dead or dying in St. Mungo's. she wanders alone, memories flooding through her thoughts. She has no-one to talk to as her entire family was killed except for her. She falls down pain flooding through her on the side walk, and she passes out for minutes, watching her worst experiences in life.

She awakens still in pain, and builds up the courage to continue walking, thinking about her life, her family, and where she would go when she found a letter in her jacket pocket, it read;

Dear Carter,

If you're reading this, something bad has happened to us, and we are no longer able to take care of our beloved daughter.
If something bad has happened to us you are to go to the first alive person on this list, and live with them, just show them this piece of parchment and it will explain everything:

Estelle Nickel

Narcissa Malfoy

Draco Malfoy

Andromeda Tonks

Always remember that we love you, and what happened to us, Kayla and Ariel is not your fault.
Remember that just because you cannot see us, doesn't mean that we aren't there in your heart, and be strong.

With you always

David and Celeste Nickel (nee Black)

Your Parents

Carter reads it, over and over again, as she looks over the list, and decides who to go and live with and face the drama of living her past again telling them, her grandmother Estelle Nickel died in 2012 and the other three were alive. Her parents were telling her to go to the Malfoy's but Carter knew about the family history and how they had reformed, she couldn't help but be cautious. Carter's mother always told her stories about her family, and told her to follow her heart, so she decided to go to Andromeda Tonks. However there was one major problem in this plan, she had no idea where she lived in England.

So Carter just walked on and on, from London to Bath door knocking asking for this one person. She experienced severe pain from her injuries and slept out on the streets. She continuously walked. She was hungry, and had only drunk from puddles and creeks if possible. She never received any treatment for her injuries on her journey. Carter knew that it was probably easier to go into Diagon Alley, and find her that way, but she couldn't deal with all the attention she would get from the public.
