After saying goodbye to your forever friend, you all look around and see where you are. You see in the distance a small home, sitting in the sand.

Ron: I recognize that house...
Cedric: Where are we?

You shrug.

Harry: We've only got one way to find out, let's go see who lives there.

As you all begin walking down the beach towards the house, you can't help but think about why Dobby brought you here.

"He wouldn't come here for nothing, there has to be a reason," you think.

As soon as you get closer you notice two people, a couple, emerge from the home. You squint, trying to get a closer look at who they are when the man gives you your answer.

Bill: Ron!?

Ron stops and squints before he smiles of relief.

Ron: Bill!

Ron takes off in a run, hugging his brother. You see Fleur smile and rub his arm, holding back her tears. As you make your way over to them, you embrace her in a hug. She steps back and smiles, wiping away the tears that happened to escape your eyes.

You: I thought I would never see you again.

She smiles and kisses your forehead.

Fleur: Dobby was here, he told us he was bringing you.

You smile as Bill walks over and kisses your cheek before he embraces Hermione in a hug.

Bill: Where is that little elf? I wanted to thank him for bringing my family back.

You step out of Fleur's arms and look back at Harry. Harry sighs and looks at Bill, shaking his head. Fleur covers her mouth and shakes her head in disbelief as Bill looks down at the sand.

Bill: How?
Ron: Bellatrix. We were captured by snatchers and brought to the Malfoy Manor. We almost got away but she must've thrown her knife as we were apparating.

Fleur continues to shake her head as Bill takes her into his arms. They stand there for minute, grieving the little elf before sighing.

Bill: Please come in, we have much to talk about.

You all walk into the small home, admiring its home-like feeling. It's been a while since you all have been inside a home.

Ron: How is Mum and Dad? And Ginny and George and Fred?

Bill grabs Ron's shoulder and smiles.

Bill: There alright, considering. They're worried about you. All of you.

Ron nods taking a seat at the table.

Harry: And our parents?

You look at Bill with hope in your eyes. Bill sighs.

Bill: They were injured from the wedding, but they are alright. They told me that you know who isn't interested in them but you two.

You and Harry nod as Cedric looks around in awe at the wind chimes.

Cedric: It's a lovely home.
Bill: It was our aunts.

Fleur looks at Bill, seeming to wait for a sign before she turns to you all.

Fleur: Before Dobby went to go and rescue you, he came across a goblin from gringrotts along the way. He said, 'Harry and Ana Potter would need to see him when Dobby brings them home'.

You look and Harry as Harry knits his eyebrows in confusion.

Bill: He's been waiting for you to come here. I can bring you to his room if you'd like. He's eager to speak with you.
