Bill had never been more grateful to be home in his life. He already considered Shell Cottage a little slice of heaven but after a few weeks in Saint Mungo's, it was beyond wonderful to be back. The full moon caused some minor side effects (fever, soreness, restlessness, and an insatiable craving for raw steak) but he'd come out unscathed and on the road to a complete recovery. He still was frequently tired and sore, and he still relied on the cane for mobility but the Healers predicted it'd be a little longer until he was back walking on his own.

It was nice to see Harry,  Hermione, and Ron again but he was eager to see more of others, especially his family and the Lupin-Tonks clan. He'd heard Fred planned to stop by at some point but he wasn't quite sure when. Curled up on his bed with a book, he looked up when there was a soft knock on the door. He hadn't heard the front door, but he assumed Fleur'd let Fred in.

"You can come in," he said, putting the book aside.
