FanFiction: George and Fred
Warnings: Spoilers for HP: Deathly Hallows.
George ran down the familiar corridor, bleeding from the duels he had encountered. He stood there, the entrance of the Great Hall, catching his breath, with a smile on his face as always; waiting to see and hear all about Fred’s conquers.
He knew immediately when he spotted his family. He frantically counted heads. As the circle parted, he watched mutely as they cried over his twin brother. Watching as his mother cried hysterically over Fred, and is Father crying along side her.
Bill pulled him away, holding him close by, but he threw his arms aside, looking at everyone. Suddenly noticing the pairings. Bill and Fleur were together; Ron and Hermione holding each other. Charlie, Ginny and Percy were hugging.
Everyone had their partner. George was supposed to have Fred; his brother, partner in crime, and his best friend by his side. He was supposed to be standing beside him.
It looked so surreal, it had looked as if he was sleeping; just like those many times he’d let Fred sleep in on Saturday mornings at Hogwarts or on holidays.
George kneeled beside Fred, taking him in. He wanted to shake him awake; he’s just pretending, he shouted, shaking Fred; tears blurring his vision. He’s just pretending. Wake up! Shaking him with his power; shouting. He cried into Fred's chest, holding him tight.
It’s not supposed to be you; not you , He whispered.
Fred…
