Author: gelsey
Wizard/Witch: Fred Weasley/Cecile Argent (Veela cousin)
Rating/Warnings: G/PG
Prompt: #124- champagne toast
Cecile stands up and taps her glass to get everyone’s attention.
“Today, we have much to celebrate, and not just Christmas. Today, my daughter has married, and my son will soon be married. I am très proud, and I know your father,” she touches the empty seat next to her, Fred’s seat if he’d lived, “would be too. So, a toast-to life, happiness, and love; may it fill our days, nights, and our forevers.”
Champagne glasses lift. Her children, Fred’s posthumous twins, beam at her happily. She smiles, though part of her heart aches--she still misses her forever.
A/N: Cecile Argent is the name I chose for one of Fleur’s veela cousins from page 151 of Deathly Hallows (American edition). For more of her story, start at A Bientôt and follow the links.
