Fleur had woken up with the sun to find that Bill had curled himself around her again during the night. She took a few minutes to enjoy the comforting feeling of his arm and deep breathing before she slid from the bed and readied herself for the day. She planned to go to Hogwarts today to help finish the repairs to the Defense classroom. Originally Fleur had put on a pair of old trousers but after adding three new holes to her belt, they still did not want to stay up. She finally abandoned them for one of her older dresses that did not have a waistline before slipping quietly out of the room before Bill awoke.
Downstairs in the kitchen, Fleur prepared breakfast for Bill. He would be happy with a lot of sausage and a little fruit. She left it on the kitchen table under a warming charm that she had had to cast twice before it would stick. She wrote Bill a note saying she promised to help at Hogwarts and had to leave early. Normally, Fleur would have spent a little time in the morning checking her garden but everything was wilting making the activity depressing, plus she wanted to be gone before Bill woke up and wanted to fight with her again.
At Hogwarts, one thing had gone wrong after another.
Fleur was working with a few other volunteers clearing and repairing the Dark Arts classroom. It had been slow going because all of the structural supports had needed to be repaired along with a large section of wall and a neighboring hidden passage way. One of the men who had been working on the passage last week was now at the point where he wanted to repair the wall. Fleur, along with the other volunteers, disagreed about closing the spaces before the ceiling beams had been replaced. A loud argument led to the man stomping off to take it up with the Headmistress and the other volunteers deciding to call it a day.
Not wanting to go home and face her dying garden, Fleur decided to remain and work on the nearby Muggle Studies classroom they had finished repairing last week. She decided to start with the larger cupboard. She turned the knob and started to open the door, but then decided to levitate a table closer to set things on as she removed them. When she turned back she was surprised to find Bill had come in. "I was not expecting..." She stopped as he removed his wedding and held it out to her with a look of disgust and loathing on his face. Fleur crumpled into a heap on the floor.
