Forever France by Equinox Chick
Summary: This was a war she'd had little part in. But her duty lay towards her husband and her adopted country.

How does Fleur Weasley feel when she's departing for battle?

This poem was written for The Copycat Challenge on the MNFF beta forums. The idea was to take inspiration from a favourite poem. I chose The Soldier by Rupert Brooke.

Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling or Rupert Brooke (who died far too young in a foreign land).

1. Forever France by Equinox Chick

Forever France by Equinox Chick
If I die, Gabrielle, think this of me:
That there’s a corner of a Hogwarts field
That is forever France. Yet here's the key,
Under foreign soil, a flower concealed;
A flower of France, courted and aware
Of duty to family not her own.
A girl from France, breathing lusty French air,
Warmed in yellow sun; dying far from home.

Think not, Gabrielle, with a weary heart,
Of my paper-thin pulse, slipping to death.
Think of happier times in lumos light,
And of glorious love, shared in full part,
With a man who would give me his last breath,
Sacrificing all, for this one last fight.
End Notes:
Review if you wish. I always appreciate it.
