Daily Weird Prompt Thing. Prompt: flowers for mama
Chapter One
"Daph'e," Astoria called, skipping into her older sister's room.
Daphne rolled her eyes, irritated by the two-year-old's butchering of her name. She hadn't minded all that much until Pansy Parkinson started teasing her because apparently 'Daffy' was a muggle cartoon duck, and now Pansy started quacking whenever Daphne entered the room.
"What is it, Tori?"
The toddler hoisted herself up on her sister's bed and laid down beside her.
"What kinda flowers did Mama like?"
Daphne bit her lip. She was used to answering silly questions about their mummy. She had died a year ago, and Astoria was way too little to remember anything about her. Normally Daphne would've been much more receptive of the questions, but not today, of all days.
"I dunno," she answered, trying to keep from sounding grumpy. If she got upset with Astoria Daddy would be mad. "Why?"
"Daddy says we're gonna go give Mama flowers, but I wanna get her fav'rite."
Daphne sighed, turning her head to look at the photograph of Mummy on her nightstand. It had been a long time since they visited her grave. She thought it was kind of scary actually, but maybe it would be okay now, on the anniversary of her death.
"She liked daffodils," she said quietly, smiling at the memory of her mum in the garden.
