"Ciri, I can't—" Harry started, his voice thick with emotion, his hand instinctively reaching to touch the silver wolf head.
"Shush," Ciri interrupted gently but firmly, her gaze unwavering. "Take it. It's… something to remember me by. Seems only fair, really, with all that you have given me."
"But you said that you...
"Whether you want to stay out of it or not, HE won't stop until you're dead," Fleur stated, her voice losing all its usual lightness and taking on a steely, serious edge. "You know that, Harry.

He’d also made a point of checking in on her himself once a day, just to make sure her wounds were healing properly and there were no signs of infection.

Harry moved fast up the stairs, not quite running but close enough to it. His heart was beating a little too quickly, though he wasn’t sure if it was from the urgency or just nerves. He reached the guest room he had asked Kreacher to prepare and pushed the door open.
The girl was lying on the bed, deathly still. Pale. To...
"What in the possibly nine hells are you doing?" Harry asked, his voice cutting through the otherwise quiet woods. He’d stumbled upon what was probably the most bizarre and frankly, alarming, scene he’d ever witnessed. And given his life story, that was saying a hell of a lot.
A group of large men, maybe six or sev...

I did; the sound of the bard's instrument was muffled as Edmund led me a few flights up, before we reached a single door. I heard the sound of jingling metal as he fished out a key from his pocket, before opening the door.
I followed him in.
