Tom stepped forward first, his bouquets were wrapped around by three white heathers symbolizing protection for his family. For his wife, he had laceleaf symbolizing abundance and happiness, paired with a daffodil representing new beginnings. Both flowers for how Tom wanted her to have a new beginning with her sisters and have the happiness she deserves after her Mother had ripped them apart. For his son and daughter, he had two identical bouquets made of Oak Leaves, representing patience, power, endurance and strength, all of which his children would need upon return to Hogwarts. Along with baby’s breath symbolizing the pureness and innocence that he wants to preserve and everlasting love from their soulmates. A hidden bouquet was bought out of his pocket, it wasn’t wrapped in anything, just fourteen peace lily’s tied together, representing peace in the afterlife, usually used in these rituals to help those that haven’t crossed over. Harry and Hermione shared a look, every year Tom added that bouquet but never told them why or who it was for, Cassi placed her hand on Tom’s shoulder in silent support. With a sorrowful smile at his wife, Tom stepped aside giving her room, the mood changing as he felt genuinely uplifted with the warmth around him as he watched Cassi hold out her bouquet.
