The wind whistled, the birds chirped and the trees swayed but Hermione ignored it all. She stood still, smiling for the first time in days.
"Little Elsa was born today, she is beautiful, well of course she is and Tim hasn't asked if they can swap his sister for a cat yet which is good." Hermione told Ron, her smile widening as she remembered Rose trying to send Hugo back to the St Mungo's and exchange him when he wouldn't play with her.
"Katie is turning four on Tuesday, I got her the enchanted swing set. I know it's not we discussed but Rose is getting that for her, and it would be silly to have two." Hermione continued, rambling on as she always did, not letting anyone get a word in edge ways once she had started.
"You wouldn't believe what Leah did yesterday, Hugo told me that Leah set a tree on fire in the back yard when he was babysitting. Oh and Neville is thinking about retiring, about time too." Hermione sighed, she had been trying to convince Neville to retire for the last two years, and he was finally listening.
Silence filled the air for a few moments as Hermione remained still, so much more that she wanted to say but she couldn't bring herself to say much more.
"I wish you were here Ron." Hermione whispered as she leaned forward and rested her hand on the cold stone. She didn't bother to check behind her before she flicked her wand and laid flowers on the grass at her feet. As she shoved her wand back into her cloak she used her free hand to wipe away the lone tear that was making its way down her cheek.
"I'll be back tomorrow." Hermione said as she gave the stone one last look and gave a small sad smile at the fresh flowers she had put in front of Ron's grave. Tightening her coat she walked a few steps before she apparated, leaving the graveyard empty once more. The graveyard that once was full of names she didn't recognise but now was full of her family.
