Chapter / List Eight:
5 Deaths
1) Ginny was not Arthur and Molly's only daughter. Molly got pregnant with Olivia a month after she had Percy. Olivia was stillborn. She had a small tuft of red hair shaped like a halo.
Arthur and Molly rejoiced when they found out that they were having twins. It felt like God was not only blessing them with a new baby, but a second to ease the loss of Olivia.
Molly didn't sleep for three days after the Battle of Hogwarts. She spent most of the time crying and combing her fingers through Fred's hair. Arthur joined her when he could, but often got called away. The other Weasley's took turns sitting with her. George was there when he was sad but left when he got angry. Bill appointed himself George's shadow and went where he did. Charlie and Percy kept trying to talk to her but gave up after a couple tries. Ron sat at Fred's feet and sighed a lot. His eyes were as red as his hair. Ginny lay down with her head in her mother's lap, crying quietly into her dress.
Molly mourned for Fred but also for Olivia. Fred was almost a replacement (for lack of a better word) for her. It felt like she'd lost her son once and her daughter twice.
2) Lucius Malfoy committed suicide by casting the Killing Curse on himself. He left a note behind for Draco. Just one sentence, actually:
"Be a better man than I was."
3) Lucille Lovegood invented a spell that acted like a Muggle defribulator. In theory, the spell would restart a heart by sending a brief electric current through it. One morning while her husband was out, she told Luna to fetch the cat. Lucille poisoned its milk. When their pet's heart stopped, she cast the new spell.
It backfired. Her own heart was electrocuted.
Little Luna tried for hours to revive her mom and the cat. She thought they were just sleeping. Until she met Harry Potter, she thought she was the only one at Hogwarts who could see the thestrals.
4) On the morning of his 11th birthday, Hugo Weasley woke up to find a black crow sitting on his windowsill. It dropped a package into his lap and flew away. There was no card or note but the wrapping said "Happy Birthday" in red writing. Hugo opened it and was delighted to find a Chocolate Frog.
Hermione always scolded him if she caught him eating sweets before breakfast, so Hugo ate the frog before heading down to the kitchen. He was halfway down the stairs when the seizure hit. He managed to cry out, "Dad!" before his lungs swelled and he lost consciousness.
The poison worked swiftly. Within moments, Hugo died in Ron's arms.
5) Lily was not Harry and Ginny's only daughter.
Nymphadora Minerva Potter was still born just like Olivia.
She had Lily's eyes.
