As the day went on everyone just moped around the Burrow. Mrs Weasley spoke with the Order to about the funeral arrangement and protection charms to be strengthened for Saturday.
Harry refused to speak to anyone. He just wanted to speak to Ginny but she wouldn't leave her room for anything but the bathroom. Mr or Mrs Weasley brought her food up but she only ate bare amounts of it.
The day after Ginny arrived back at the Burrow everyone was tense. No one has seen her once.
Oliver was worried. As was Harry. Neither had spoken to each other nor Ginny since they found her in the PE hall.
Dinner came and went with another no show from Ginny. Tension was so thick you could cut it once Mrs Weasley came back from Ginny's room with a full plate of food. Only a few potatoes were touched as was the chicken.
"She needs to eat!" Charlie said slamming his fists on the table. "We've all lost Bill but you don't see us starving ourselves!" He said desperately.
"She's not only lost Bill. She's lost part of who she is." Fleur said quietly in her soft French accent.
[A/N: Sorry but I don't know how to write how she says things in her accent so just imagine it. Please? For me]
"Bill was her favourite. We all know it." She said. Everyone stared at her shocked. No one had heard her speak since Bill died.
"He was the one she owled if something was wrong. He was the one she turned to when no one in that muggle school talked to her. She lost her friend and brother in the one day so, just leave her alone." Fleur finished before standing up and walking out of the room.
Mrs Weasley looked at the door that Fleur walked out. "She spoke. Finally she spoke." She mumbled.
Upstairs Ginny sat on her bed staring down at the little black box. A knock on the door brought Ginny out of her thoughts. She looked at the door. Was she ready to see someone? Was she ready to forgive them for sending her away and shunning her?
She made her up mind quickly. "C-Come in." She called out. Fleur walked in and closed the door silently.
"Ginny? Can I have a word with you?" She asked standing at the door awkwardly. Ginny nodded. "Okay. You can sit down." Ginny said moving over so Fleur could sit down.
Fleur nodded and sat down on the bed next to her. "Ginny, I know that the two of us have never gotten on really well. But I really do love you like a sister." She said. Ginny looked at her and bit her lip. "Fleur. I love you like a sister too it's just you always come off as you were better than us." Ginny said quickly.
"Oh Ginny, I'm so sorry. I never meant to come off so snobbish. Your family were so close and I felt like an outsider. I always tried to get in on all of your family traditions I just felt like I was intruding." Fleur said tearfully. Ginny wiped her eyes.
"I'm so sorry for being so rude to you Fleur." Ginny said hugging her tightly. Fleur hugged Ginny back crying softly.
"I would apologise to Bill for being so rude to you too if I had gotten the chance to say goodbye." She said slowly. Fleur cringed slightly.
"I'm sorry I mentioned him. The pain is still raw for me too." Ginny said looking down at the little box in her hands.
Fleur looked at the box and smiled slightly. "I knew he'd give it to you some how." She said looking at Ginny.
Ginny looked at Fleur and smiled. "I haven't opened it yet. I don't know if I want to." She said honestly.
"Take your time. Bill put a lot of effort into it and we were going to travel to America to visit you in a few weeks." Fleur said. "After he received your letters about not fitting in he went out and got you that."
Ginny stared at the box and opened it. She stared down at the beautiful item staring down at her. Picking up carefully she examined it with small smile.
"I-It's beautiful." She mumbled, tears sliding down her cheeks. "Thank you fleur." She said hugging her again.
"Thank you Bill." She mumbled tearfully. Fleur smiled and hugged Ginny before standing up. "I should go down and help your mother with the dinner." She said walking to the door.
"Ginny?" She said looking at the crying red head. "Yeah?" Ginny asked. "Please eat something. Bill wouldn't want his favourite sibling waste away." She said before walking out of the door and closing in silently.
[A/N: Short I know. Anyone want to guess what Ginny got off Bill? Well you guys know the drill. Please review. I might update later today seeing as it's only 1:30 am :P]
