Shell Cottage: Write about Victoire Weasley

(200 Words)


A Quiet Place

For Victoire Weasley, Shell Cottage was a special place. Since being a child, she loved the cottage. It was a place that radiated calmness and freedom; it was easy to forget your sorrows in the dunes when the wnd whipped through your hair and the only thing you heard were the waves crashing onto the beach.

One day, she discovered a grave in the garden. The tombstone looked a little bit battered from the salty air, but the words "Here lies Dobby – A free Elf" were perfectly readable. Not knowing who Dobby was and why he was resting in the garden of their holiday home, she ran inside and asked her mother about him. On that afternoon, she learnt about a hero.

After this day, she would always visit his grave and bring Dobby flowers or some of the beautiful shells she had found while playing by the water.

She tried to imagine what Dobby was like, and hoped that he was happy about her little gifts. And she really found that this was the right place to rest for such a little hero. A quiet place, one of the most beautiful ones she knew.
