Bill hadn’t necessarily expected the ghost of Fred when he looked up. He wasn’t sure what to say at first, sure, he knew that Fred was around, but he hadn’t seen him yet. It felt a little weird to be complaining to a ghost, since it was obvious that they had it worse, but at the same time it was Fred and he was sure that he would understand why Bill had to do what he had to do.
“Fleur is very upset with me.” Bill said slowly, “Ever since Bole announced that he was looking for red heads, I started attempting to set up a group to go after him. There are so many able alumni sitting around doing nothing, I had to start trying to do something. It could have been anyone! It could have been Ginny, and with Fleur pregnant with our child, I didn’t want her involved. Percy went and told her about it. She’s livid.” Bill chewed his lip. He didn’t want Fleur to be mad at him, but he wasn’t going to stop.
