Harry Potter and Grief

inklingblotspot:

Harry has some very personal traditions regarding what flowers he puts on certain people’s graves. It wasn’t on purpose, he just fell into certain habits after a while.

His parents get roses every Christmas

Sirius gets Dogwood because he would’ve found that hilarious

Remus and Tonks share a grave; they get wild multicolored bouquets of zinnias not lupines.And of course, fistfuls of dandelions, but those aren’t from Harry 

Colin Creevey gets dwarf sunflowers 

Snape gets a single lily every once in a while, usually an asphodel

Dumbledore’s tomb is most often already covered in flowers, so Harry just donates socks to a local homeless shelter 

Ariana Dumbledore’s gets daisies – when he’s over in Godric’s Hollow, he stops by her grave

Dobby got bird of paradise flowers until Neville told him that under particular circumstances, Gillyweed has flowers
