Fleur sat in the shared study writing letters to her loved ones.

At this point, all of her friends and family knew about her condition. She had been through quite a bit of crying and denial but for the most part, she was quite happy that everything was out.

She found it quite strange to be writing letters as if she was already dead, but Luna was right. She had a chance to tell people how she felt before she died, something not everyone had a chance to do. She was going to take advantage of this rare opportunity.

As she was getting into the letter to her mother, the doorbell rang.

“Bill, can you get that please? Merci,” Fleur shouted from her desk.

When she heard Bill walk toward the door, she focused back on what she was writing.

Twenty minutes later, she sanded the parchment, rolled it up and put it in a secret hiding place in the desk.

She stood, walking toward the living room.

Fleur stopped when she heard Bill laugh.

It had been so long since she heard him sound so carefree. Since finding out about her cancer, he had focused quite a bit of energy and attention on her, even taking a leave indefinitely from his job to be with her.

She could tell he was hurting. She could see it every time she looked into his eyes.

Fleur listened in on the conversation to see what was making Bill laugh so hard.

“And then what happened?”

“Well, after tying him to a chair, she conjured up a giant spider. It started to crawl near him and even play with his robes a little bit. You know, when Ron screams he sounds a lot like a herd of Nargles.”

Bill laughed again, the sweet sound of it filling Fleur with warmness.

Fleur peaked over the corner and smiled when she saw Bill holding his stomach with one hand while wiping his eyes with another.

“Merlin, I knew Ron wasn’t the brightest bulb on the tree, but cheating on Hermione that way was incredibly stupid!” he exclaimed.

“It’s not Ron’s fault, the Nargles hit him with a vengeance when Lavender passed him during dinner one day.”

Bill chuckled.

“Did Hermione eventually let him go?”

“She did only after the spider nearly bit his face off. After that they were no longer dating and Ron wouldn’t even look at Lavender.”

“Gods, I wish I had known this a last night when we went to the Burrow.”

“How did telling the family about Fleur go, by the way?” Luna asked suddenly.

The smile slowly melted from Bill’s face.

“Fleur’s family didn’t take it too well. Her mum and dad are very angry at her for not taking the treatment that was offered to her and her sister cried a lot. They are devastated.”

Fleur closed her eyes. Bill was right. Her family did not take the news well. Her parents had been very upset to know that she wasn’t taking on treatment and haven’t contacted her since. And her little sister burst into tears every time she looked at her.

“What about your family? How did they take it?” Luna asked.

Bill rubbed the back of his neck.

“To be honest—I think they pity me. Not to say they aren’t sad for Fleur, but it was almost as if they didn’t know what to say to me after we told them.”

Fleur was quite surprised at the admission.

Bill was right in the sense that the Weasley family had been very sad about hearing of her cancer. She was hugged and given total support for her choice in not taking the treatment.

In fact, Bill hadn’t mentioned his family to her again when they came back from the dinner.

She didn’t realize that he had been treated differently because of her sickness.

Luna looked at him sympathetically and reached out to put her hand over his.

They both made eye contact.

Fleur watched as they both communicated without saying a word to each other.

Finally, Luna spoke.

“I hope you find peace with it eventually.”

Bill smiled and put his free hand over hers and squeezed.

“Thank you, Luna,” he said quietly.

Smiling, Luna took her hand from his.

Bill stood and cleared his throat.

“I’ll … uh … I’ll go check on dinner.”

He quickly left the room.

Luna stared at his retreating back with a serene smile.

Fleur looked away from the living room and leaned back against the hallway wall.

Bill and Luna were meant to be together after she died.

She didn’t know how she knew. The only clue that she had was her heart telling her it was so.

Strangely enough, Fleur wasn’t jealous of upon the revelation.

If anything, her heart felt strangely light.

Her Bill would be taken care of the way he needed, even when she was gone.

Fleur smiled and walked into the living room to talk with Luna.

As the days passed by, the cancer was really taking a toll on Fleur. She was weaker and simple things like moving or preparing dinner was becoming harder for her.

Fleur’s deteriorating health was taking a toll on Bill as well. It wasn’t that Bill couldn’t take over the housework and take care of Fleur; it was just getting harder for him to see his once robust wife get weak.

After much discussion, they both decided that it would be a good idea for them to hire someone to take care of Fleur while Bill went back to work.

Although they could have hired someone professional, they both decided that they would hire Luna. She was usually always calm and Fleur really liked her.

And secretly, Fleur wanted to make sure she and Bill spent as much time together as possible before she passed.

Luna accepted the job with a serene smile. It turned out that she was actually a good caretaker. She could cook, clean and was good at making Fleur comfortable.

Fleur thought her talk of imaginary creatures was strange but found that as she got weaker, she enjoyed the stories of them more.

Two more months passed. By this time, Fleur was put on bed rest and Bill put in for time off again.

Bill would take care of Fleur in the evening while Luna would take care of the house work.

Both the Weasleys and Fleur’s family would come to visit her. She hated the look of pity on their faces. If anything, she was the happiest she had ever been.

Her will was figured out and she knew Luna would take good care of her husband when she was gone. And she was at peace. She knew that the afterlife had something good in store for her, and was pretty excited to get there.

Luna was a smart woman and Fleur knew without a doubt that she would eventually catch on and understand that her fate was to be with Bill. However, for Fleur to have peace of mind, she decided to have a talk with Luna.

One day, while Bill was shopping for food, Fleur weakly called Luna into her room.

Something told her that she would not survive the next morning. She needed to make sure that Luna understood that she was to take care of Bill.

Luna came in a few moments later wearing a rainbow apron.

Fleur smiled. She found that Luna’s outrageous outfits made her days so bright.

“Yes, Fleur?”

Fleur weakly waved her over to the bed. She knew she must have looked a sight. Her hair lost its sheen and wasn’t as bright as it used to be. She had dark, purple circles under her eyes. Her skin was so pale it was almost white.

When her looks first started to fade, Bill had flinched at the sight of her. Now, he was better at hiding his feelings about her looks. If anything, he still managed to look at her like she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Even Fleur’s family couldn’t keep the looks of pity off of their faces when her looks began to fade.

Luna was the only one who looked at Fleur the same since the sickness. It simply confirmed that Luna would be a great mate for Bill.

Luna walked into the room and sat down on the bed. As was the habit, she took Fleur’s thin body into her arms and stroked her hair.

Fleur closed her eyes. She loved human touch and even though her friends and family tried, she knew all of them, even Bill, were uncomfortable touching her.

Both Luna and Fleur remained silent, enjoying the stillness of the air.

Finally, Luna broke the silence.

“I love him and I will never let him push me away.”

Fleur sagged into the bed and closed her eyes.

“You will do the right thing, Luna. I know you will.”

Luna kissed Fleur on the forehead.

“Bill should be here in a few moments. I’ll make sure he comes up here to hold you. Have fun on your journey. Tell my mother that I love her,” Luna said.

Fleur smiled and weakly hugged Luna.

“Not only will I make sure she knows your love, but she will also know what a great person you are. I will be very happy to see you when you start your own journey.”

The front door opened.

“It is not my time yet but when it is, I will be more than glad to see you and her as well.”

Luna gave Fleur one last kiss and slipped from the bed.

Fleur heard quiet murmurs in the hallway and was very happy to see Bill standing at their bedroom door.

Fleur simply held out her arms toward Bill.

Bill smiled sadly and answered her silent request.

He slid into the bed fully clothed.

Pulling her into his arms, he held her firmly against him and closed his eyes.

“I love you, Bill,” Fleur said quietly.

“I love you, Fleur.”

Feeling warm and knowing that the people she cared about would eventually live fulfilling lives without her, she made her way into the warm light that would take her on endless adventures for eternity.
