Once they all appeared on a beach, Harry ran over to Ron, Hermione and Erica, Parker wasn't there, "We're all safe. It's fine."

"Where's Parker?" Erica asked, looking around.

Hermione weakly pointed in front of them, Parker was holding Dobby. Was he bleeding? Everyone swore that they could see Parker crying slightly.
Erica then looked back towards the the other end of the beach. Two people were walking out of the cottage by the rocks. The two walked over to the Herd, looking over at Parker and Dobby. It was Bill and Fleur.

"What happened? Why are you guys here?" Bill asked, bending down.

"We were at Malfoy Manor. Erica saved us and we disapparated with the help of Dobby but.." Harry looked over at Parker who was still holding the bleeding Dobby.

Erica stood up slowly before passing out, falling forward onto Bill.

Bill quickly held onto Erica, "We better get you all inside. Come on."

Hermione walked over to Parker as Harry and Ron followed Bill inside.

"Is he?" Hermione asked, not wanting it to be true.

Parker nodded slightly, looking up at Hermione, "Yeah."

Hermione looked down at the small elf,"The others are inside."

"I'll join you all in a few minutes. I just.. He needs like a grave or something." Parker sighed.

Hermione nodded slowly before turning and walking over to the cottage, leaving Parker out on the beach After a while, Parker came inside of the cottage, joining the others.

"Why were you all at the Manor?" Bill questioned, carrying a tray of glasses.

"Snatchers. We got caught." Ron answered.

"Even after I told you to he careful when you left Ron?" Bill asked, giving out the glasses of water.

"We were." Ron sighed, "They just caught us after we arrived at the tent."

"As long as you guys are alright." Bill stated, sitting down.

Hermione crossed her arms, "We got out alive, is the main thing."

"I was quite confused when those other people showed up, didn't give us much of a warning." Bill gestured to the stairs.

"Dobby brought them." Harry told him, "Before he came back for us."

"Is he alright? He didn't look so good when I saw him on the beach." Bill asked Parker.

Parker glanced at Bill before sighing, "My mother threw a dagger and it stabbed him. He's.. Dead."

Everyone sat in silence for a few minutes before Bill broke the silence.

"Should we give him a funeral?" He asked, looking around.

"I think that might be best." Fleur nodded, "It will help take your minds off things for a short while."

Harry nodded and stood up,"Let's do this."

"Where will we bury him?" Ron asked.

"There's some space where the tide doesn't reach, it's by the large rocks." Bill informed them.

"I covered him in my jacket, just beside the rocks." Parker stood up with the others.

"Will I wake Erica?" Ron asked.

"From what you told me Ron, I think we should let her sleep." Bill sighed, taking a shovel from the wall.

"She can visit him once she wakes up." Parker told Ron while they all walked outside.
