Chapter 6: Mr. Weasley
Dear Mr. Weasley,
Since I've entered the Wizarding world, I've come to the conclusion that you are the most extraordinary person I've ever met. You have always been a bit of a hero to me. You love your wife and children, work hard to provide for them while doing something you love, and you stand up for what you believe in. You aren't afraid of being yourself and do what's right; I've always admired you for that.
You and Molly raised some truly amazing children. They get their enthusiasm from you and their fierce compassion from Molly. Make sure you always remind them that you're proud of them. Especially Fred and George; they won't admit it, but they look up to you very much. I truly believe that your sons will make excellent fathers because they had you to set the perfect example for them.
I came to accept that my father will never remember me and it makes me appreciate you even more. Without you, I wouldn't have had a father for nearly seven years. Thank you so much for being the father figure I needed so much. If I was ever to get married, I would've asked you to give me away. I love you, Dad.
I wanted to leave you my father's old pocket watch. It's not much, but it's the only thing I have left of him. I would be honored if you would look after it for me. It was his favorite.
Love from,
Hermione
Mr. Weasley pulled out the gold watch attached to a delicate chain and he opened it. On the inside, there was an inscription that read 'to the best dad in the world. I love you, Daddy. ~Hermione.'
Arthur pulled off his glasses and wiped his eyes dry as he bent down to kiss Hermione's forehead. With a few more tears escaping his eyes, Mr. Weasley pulled his wife into his side as he gently guided her to the door. Before they left the room, Mr. Weasley turned to look at the girl one last time and said, "We love you, too, Hermione. You're our daughter."
Mrs. Weasley wailed and Arthur held her close, trying so hard to keep his own tears to himself.
