Letter #5 - The Final Goodbye (December 25, 1999)

Dearest Mum,

Merry Christmas, Mum.

How are you and the boys doing? I hope you are all doing well and that your Christmas will be full of joy on the plane of existence you are on now.

The first set of news: Molly Ginerva Fleur Weasley was born November 12, 1999. According to Bill, she was a bit premature, but she was very healthy and she has a set of lungs that would make you proud! She's already a feisty one and she's just over a month old! She's so beautiful, too, Mum. She has the Weasley hair, freckles, and eyes, but she has your temper and Fleur's sweet personality. You would be proud. We all are.

Secondly, Ron and Hermione said their wedding vows earlier this month. Again, Dad cried. It was a beautiful ceremony. Very simple, yet elegant and very fitting for Hermione Granger-Weasley.

Harry and Severus are bonded. They have taken residence in Ireland close to Seamus and I. Oddly enough, Seamus and Severus are working together to create potions. Oh, Seamus doesn't brew them, of course. He grows the herbs as a sideline job to his normal work. He's well known, you know? Everyone loves the mixes he creates and according to some, he can make the greatest elixir to exist! We live comfortably and all that. -smiles- He makes me very happy.

Other news on Harry and Severus...they're adopting their own children. There were several children orphaned in the war and Harry, of course, having always wanted a big family, was ecstatic when Severus came to him with the idea. At first, Severus talked to Seamus and I about it. It's odd how much the four of us have become our own little family in Ireland.

What else? Oh! Yes. Dad started his own business. He's an inventor. Can you believe that? He makes wizarding toys out of muggle toys. He's getting quite the response, oddly enough, from both sides. Muggles just believe he's a magician. We all go along with it -winks-

We're all going to be here at the Burrow for Christmas and tonight, when it clicks midnight, we're going to bury these letters next to your stone so you will finally be able to read them. Dad's read them all so far and each one has brought him to tears. Bill, Ron, and the others have read them as well. They all thought the idea was brilliant -smiles- I'm glad I was able to do something that benefited all of us.

I also have a bit of news that I wanted to share with you before all others, including my own husband. Two days ago, I found out that I'm pregnant. I am four weeks along and I plan on telling Seamus tonight. I am not sure how he will react, but I am hoping he will be happy. I'm shocked, but I'm already excited. I hope to have a baby boy that will be just as beautiful as his father. That would be completely wonderful in my book.

Ok, Mum. The Burrow's starting to be full of people, so I must end this letter and say my final goodbye. Just know that whatever happens to us all, you are always in our thoughts, our prayers, our hearts, and none of us will ever forget you. You are beautiful and your laugh still lights all of our hearts, despite you no longer being here. Our memories are always complete when we think of you.

We love you, Mum, and you, Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George are all in our thoughts.

Goodbye, Mum. May you always rest in peace.

Your loving daughter,
Ginerva Weasley-Finnigan
