Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch Unlike her twin, the significance of the memorial was not lost on her. While they had been four when the war had taken place and they weren't directly impacted by it, Gilly had read plenty about it in old newspapers and even in a book that had been published about it. This was just one of many topics she had stored in her head, the information waiting to be utilized at the right moment.
As relevant as the information would have been in their current setting, her knowledge about how the garden came to be and the symbolism of the phoenix statue was something her brother wouldn't have been interested in; she knew he was invested in the flowers and shrubs. While she could acknowledge that the flora was beautiful, her attention was on the names that were engraved on the round plinth.
Drake's voice brought her attention away from the hundreds of names she was reading. At first the comment about the possibility of a butterfly Patronus seemed out of the blue, but she was quick to observe the butterfly fluttering from bush to bush. "It is a possibility," she responded before spewing out some details she knew about spirit guardians. "Everyone's Patronus is unique and reflect their innermost personality. A butterfly would be very fitting for you." As for her, now that she was thinking about it, she liked the idea of her potential Patronus being a Thestral.
