It had all been arranged. Gwen was going to stay with friends of Dumbledore in France. She had been given precise directions on how to apparate there, she simply needed to leave Hogwart’s grounds before she could do so. When she arrived and settled in she would take an afternoon to visit Beauxbatons.
When all of her business with Maxime was settled, which shouldn’t take long, she thought, she would travel to Reims and the cemetery where her parents were buried. She would be able to apparate back and forth wherever she wanted to once she had her bearings.
After that she had the entire summer to travel the countryside and see the sights. She figured she could spend an entire month alone in the Louvre and there was no lack of things to see. This summer, she was determined, was going to be the best of her life.
