Goodbyes Are Difficult

"Other things may change us, but we start and end with family"-Anthony Brandt

Dear Mr. William Weasley,

We are proud to inform you that your paper on arithmancy has struck a great chord amongst the workers in our bank. We are hereby offering you a job as a curse breaker in our Egypt branch at Gringotts. Due to a sudden vacancy, you are required to report no later than the following Monday, Please send us a reply with the return owl.

Sincerely,

Norgon.

Bill smiled as he re-read the letter for the third time, making sure he fully understood its contents. A curse breaker? Wicked cool! He wasted no time in picking up a quill and writing out his short but precise reply:

I am pleased to inform you that I am ready to accept the job. I will report to the branch directly before Sunday evening.

Thank You,

William Weasley.

Bill smiled. It was already Thursday evening, which meant he was all set to go in two days. And then reality hit him. How on earth would he convince and most importantly handle his family?

He pushed open the door of the room belonging to Charlie. Charlie was two years younger to him and the closest friend he had ever had.

"Hey," he said sitting next to Charlie on his bed.

"Hey bro, need anything?" Charlie asked casually.

"I got the job at Gringotts."

"Ooh...that's so cool. A curse breaker? Wow, it even sounds amazing, "Charlie said sincerely excited.

"It's in Egypt, "Bill sighed.

Charlie's expressions changed immediately.

"What? You can't just go!"

"I've promised to report by Sunday evening," Bill said quietly.

Charlie stared at him for almost two minutes before getting up to bear hug him.

"Go get all the girls, bro!"

After Charlie, Bill went straight to Percy's room. On reading the letter Percy's face lit up with joy.

"One day I'll follow your foot steps Bill!"he said smiling," But I'll miss you too. Nobody else understand me as well as you do. you 're my favorite brother."

Bill next proceeded to the noisiest room in the Burrow. As soon as he knocked on the door, he heard a lot of shuffling on the other side only after which came a "who's there?"

"What do you want?" Fred said on seeing Bill, clearly irritated.

"I have some news, "Bill said.

The twins just waited.

"I'm off to Egypt this weekend. I got a job at Gringotts."

Their faces immediately fell.

"What? You can't just leave us and go!" said George.

"I know, I know," Bill sighed," it's a surprise to me too. But I also know this is my only chance."

The twins continued to stare angrily.

" Guys, Come on. You know that this is my dream."

With this their expressions softened. Fred got up and removed from his cupboard what looked like sweets.

"It's supposed to give you red spots. And that's our dream job. To open a joke shop. So, we understand. Just send us a lot of money, okay?" he added winking.

Bill entered the garden to find his two youngest siblings playing.

"Ron, Ginny!" he called cheerfully.

They came running to their oldest brother, the one they hero worshiped.

"I'm going to Egypt this Sunday, to work with the Gringotts bank, "he informed them.

"Yay,"the other two cheered.

Bill smiled. "That means I cannot live in the Burrow any longer. I'll be visiting only during the holidays."

Their mouths widened in shock.

"We'll miss you," they said. Ginny even looked close to tears.

"I'll miss you too," Bill said feeling more miserable than ever before. He paused and said," I love you both very much."

"We love you too Bill," they said as they ran to hug him.

Bill knew the last room was the toughest. His mother would be very teary eyed indeed. He knocked and parents were just relaxing.

"Mum, Dad...I got into Gringotts."

"Bill!"his mom shouted as she ran to hug him.

"That's wonderful son, I'm so proud of you, "his father said elated.

"In Egypt, "Bill added, making sure to be heard over all the joyous callings.

After a slight pause, "Oh Bill!" was all his mother said, while his father continued to smile.

"You aren't upset, Mom?"

"Of course not, honey. We are so proud of you, "Molly said smiling.

"I love you, Mum," he said hugging her.

It was only after Bill left the room did Molly burst into uncontrollable sobs.
