Weasley love
Spoilers for Deathly Hallows again.
I've been thinking a lot about the Weasleys since I finished the book. Fred's death more than any other is really on my mind; it's all so hopelessly depressing. In my last ficlet Ron worried about when he (or someone else) would call George by the wrong name. Here's how I think George might react to just that. This is a drabble of exactly 100 words.

“Just put it on the table, Fred-” Mrs. Weasley’s hand flew to her mouth, her eyes filled with tears.
George set the bowl down quickly and folded his lanky frame around her in a tight hug. “It’s okay, mum. It’s okay.”
They stood there for a moment, Molly sobbing in her son’s arms, before she pulled away. “I’m sorry, dear," she sniffled, patting his arms and looking up at him, proud and sad. “I know you’re George.”
“Oh, we always knew that,” he replied, with a tiny smile. “I’d be disappointed if you never did it anymore. Spoils the fun.”

Jeez I depress myself.
