Allison's Point of View

The Next Day

I watch as Harry lowers Dobby's body into the grave that Ron, Harry and I had been digging all morning. Hermione, pale and shaky on her feet, Fleur, Bill and Luna all joined us as we buried Dobby. 

''We should say a few words don't you think?'' Luna asks. ''I'll go first,'' she nods her head. "Thank you so much, Dobby for rescuing me from that cellar. It's so unfair that you had to die when you were so good and brave. I'll always remember what you did for us. I hope you're at peace now,'' Luna bows her head.

Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Luna looking at Ron expectantly. ''Ron looking uncomfortable under her gaze clears his throat. ''Yeah thanks Dobby,'' Ron nods his head. 

''Thank you Dobby for being a great friend, you were always there when we needed you most, and I hope that you are now a peace,'' I feel my eyes welling with tears. I feel Harry's hold on my waist fighting as he clears his throat. 

''I never imagined when I first found you in my room in Privet Drive that you would grow to be one of my closest friends. You were always trying to save my life and Dobby, I wouldn't be standing here without you, I'm sorry that this happened to you,'' Harry nods his head. 

I watch as Bill raises his arm and the sand that we shovelled fills the grave neatly. I raise my wand and on the rock slab that I found I use magic to carve the following. 

Here lies Dobby, a Loyal Friend And a Free Elf. 

''Do you mind if I stay here a bit?'' Harry asks looking at the others. They all nod their heads and turn around and start walking away. I however stay and watch as Harry lets go of me and sit on the ground. 

I sigh and sit down beside him linking our arms before lacing our fingers together. I don't say anything, instead, I just rest my head on his shoulder giving him the comfort that he needs and hoping that he wouldn't push me away. I relax when I feel Harry rest his head on top of mine. 

After a few moments, we made our way back to the cottage and joined the others in the living room. 

''We're lucky Ginny is on holiday, if she was at Hogwarts, who knows what could have happened, we got to her just in time,'' Bill was saying filling me with relief. 

''I've been getting them all out of the Burrow, moving them to Aunt Muriels, Death Eaters now know that Allison and Ron are with you now, don't apologise,'' Bill gives Harry a pointed look.

''It was only a matter of time, we're the biggest Blood Traitor family,'' Bill reminds Harry. ''How are they protected?'' I ask him. 

''Fidelius Charm, Dad's the Secret Keeper,'' Bill tells us. ''We've done it to this cottage as well, I'm secret keeper. None of us can go to work but that's not important,'' Bill tells us. 

''Once Olivander and Griphook are better, we will move them to Muriel's as well, there isn't much room here,'' Bill looks to his wife. 

''No,'' Harry shakes his head. ''We need to talk to them,'' Harry gestures between himself, Ron, Hermione and I.

''They are to tired,'' Fleur shakes her head. ''We need to talk to them now,'' Harry remains adamant. 

''Guys what is going on?'' Bill looks between the two of us concerned and confused. ''You all show up here with a dead Elf, Griphook half-conscious, Hermione looking as if she has been tortured, Allison won't even let a man touch her but Harry,'' I feel Harry's hold on me tighten as I tense being reminded of what happened yesterday.
