Chapter 7: Bill & Fleur
To Bill and Fleur,
I don't know exactly what I want to say to the pair of you. I know I love and care for you and I strongly admire the relationship you two share. Actually, I always hoped I would find a love like yours. Tender and sweet with lots of fun and understanding. I will forever be grateful to you both for helping me know what it was I wanted from a relationship. I guess I did achieve that dream. I did find that kind of love and I am so happy that I did – even if he doesn't feel the same. I will never forget that it was because of the two of you that I realized what was really important in life.
Take care of those sweet babies of yours. They're gorgeous and will achieve some wonderful things, I'm sure. You both make excellent parents. Don't forget to visit your parents as much as possible, Bill. Same goes for you, Fleur. Family is the single most important thing in this world.
I've given everyone else a gift but I'm afraid I don't have one to give you. Instead I have a task to ask of you, if you're willing, that is. If you can, please put flowers of Dobby's grave for me every year? I know it doesn't seem like much of a favor, but I owe that little elf my life and I don't want his grave to ever be bare on the anniversary of his death. I hope you'll do this for me but if you can't or don't wish to, I understand. Thank you.
Love from,
Hermione.
Bill and Fleur looked sadly at one another as they allowed their eldest daughter to climb into the bed with Hermione and plant several kisses across her face and nuzzle into her hair. Victorie loved her 'aunt' Hermione. This was going to be a very sad day in all of their lives and the two weren't quite sure how to explain death to their sweet, little four-year-old. Knowing this was not going to be easy, they gently extracted the now sleeping child from Hermione's side and quietly walked from the room.
There will never be a single year that Dobby's grave goes without flowers from Hermione. They will make sure of that.
