OWL: Fleur to Gabrielle

Petite Soeur,

I know you had a wish not to be seeing me again, but it is Christmas, Gabrielle. Things are not the same, but we shouldn’t let those who did those things to you win by separating you from everything you once enjoyed.

Molly has invited Bill and I to Christmas dinner with the other Weasleys and she said I am more than welcome ( Read more... )

Gabrielle had been sleeping soundly in a corner of the flat she still hadn't furnished, and jumped abruptly to her feet, wand in hand, at the tap of an owl at her window. She had reflexively cast a Shield spell at the sound of a disturbance, but dropped it upon seeing the owl ( ... )

The response was not unexpected, but it still felt like a knife twisting in Fleur's gut as she read the shaky, unpractised scrawl of Gabrielle's letter. It was obvious that the younger witch had little to no practise with writing and it was so different to the elegant script of Fleur's writing that it just made it all the more obvious that their lives were now utterly different.

The mention of Le Fantome took Fleur by surprise. She didn't think Gabrielle would want to risk that information falling into the wrong hands and it must have meant something that she wrote it in the letter. It was not something she wished the girl to regret, and so with a wave of her wand, that sentence was erased.

Parchment was scarce, but Fleur could not bring herself to wipe the letter and use the paper again. She tucked it away safely in a desk drawer, and pulled out a fresh sheet.
