Bill sighed as he looked one more time in the mirror,wishing that his appearance would change. But he knew that it was impossible. His once handsome face will be forever marked by Fenrir Greyback's claws and teeth. No, he wasn't a werewolf but he might as well be one. Only chance has made that hadn't been full moon that awful night. He was fortunate, he should be grateful, Lavender Brown hadn't been so in the Battle of Hogwarts. She had died facing Greyback as the brave Gryffindor she was.
And he felt grateful, really. Just that he couldn't help it; every time he looked at his wife, at her beautiful face, he couldn't help but wish to be handsome again. He knew that she didn't mind,but he did. He did because he could feel the others stares; how a man so ugly like him managed to win the heart of such a beautiful woman.
Most of people respected him, brother of one third of the Golden trio and war hero, but sone were so hurtful in their comments. And the worst thing was that they didn't do it to hurt him, but to hurt her, to make her regret that she had married him. He knew that wouldn't happen, the love they shared was unbreakable,it was more powerful that whatever people thrown at them, but still it hurt.
He wished for them to stop, but he knew that they wouldn't any time soon, not while Fleur was his. And if that meant forever so be it. He was not giving up the love of his life.
"Bill, stop. I know what are you thinking." she said in a perfect English. It was funny to see her pretending to not speak correctly when she, in fact, has been learning English since her she was little;one of her aunts had married a British wizard and they had moved in America. So she knew English very well, she just liked to pretend. Bill was wondering what will happen when she will slip up. Because she was bound to so one day. She couldn't pretend forever. Nobody could.
"Bill," Fleur repeated coming and standing behind him and hugging him."stop. You know that I don't care what people say. Yes, it hurts a bit, but I am haply to be with you, to be your wife and to be able to spend the rest of my life with will you stop thinking about this? I said before to your mother and I am saying it now, I do not care how you look. I love you nevertheless.". and she kissed his neck.
"You do now, but what if.." he started to say, unable to continue,to speak up his fears, that she will find someone better one day and that she will leave..
"William Weasley! How can you think that!" Fleur shouted, understanding his unspoken words. She looked outraged.
"Listen, you silly man. I will never love anybody else but you. I married you because I live toy and I want to spend the rest of my life beside you. Thee will never be someone else." she said again hugging him tighter.
Bill turned to look at her and kissed her softly on the lips, returning her hug.
He knew that soon they will have to talk, he had to tell her his fears,but for now, both of them were content in each other's arms.
