OWL: To Family and Friends
Date: 16 May 1999
Characters: Fleur Weasley, Bill Weasley, Assorted Weasleys, Friends of Weasleys
Location: Respective Locations
Status: Private
Summary: Fleur and Bill send baby pictures to family and friends.
Completion: Complete-ish
Fleur had considered this carefully, although there were only a few planned recipients of her letters who would know how much thought she had given this. She did not wish to turn her daughter into a symbol but she was not opposed to using her family to demonstrate a point. Fleur smiled at her daughter, asleep in her cradle, and penned the last of her letters so that Solange could begin delivery when she returned from taking the letters she wrote earlier to her family.
Dear friend,
When Bill and I announced the birth of our daughter, Genevieve Grace Weasley, we promised a picture would follow. Here she is. And here is hoping that the world she has to grow up in is a better one for your efforts on her behalf, and on behalf of all, in promoting equality and an appreciation for diversity.
Our family is thinking of you at this time for remembrance of what we have lost and also what we have gained. Whether this coming weekend you choose to mourn those lost and missing, or choose to celebrate a year of liberty, please remember also that what you are helping to do with your involvement with The Association for Magical Equality and Diversity is secure a future where every life is valued. We thank you for that.
With great respect and tidings of peace,
Fleur Weasley

Dear Mama and Papa,
I know that there is nothing that can make up the loss of Fred for you both. However, when you find yourselves in need of something positive to think on, I believe you can turn to these.
All our love,
Fleur (Bill and Gigi also)
Enclosed: A packet with a dozen pictures of Gigi
Dear Brother,
Bill and I thought you might like to have a photograph of your new niece. You are missed and welcome to visit anytime. Gigi is finally beginning to stay awake longer than it takes her to feed.
All our love,
Fleur (Bill and Gigi also)
Enclosed: A picture of Genevieve Grace waking up and stretching
Dear George,
There are no words I can offer you that will make the coming days easier. I wish there were. There is so little I am capable of doing to make things easier or better for any of you, but perhaps if you begin feeling too low you can look at this and feel a little better.
You are welcome to visit anytime, with or without Lee. Your new niece will need to know of her Uncle Fred and there is no one more right for that job than her Uncle George.
All my love,
Fleur (and love from Bill and Gigi, too)
