After the memorial service, George Weasley is unable to stand. Even the pew’s dense mahogany can't tether him to a world that stands still, and as his family moves to follow the funeral coach, he reaches for a hymn book and pages numbly through psalms. The words swim together. The twins have never believed in the importance of being well-read, anyway.

“C’mon,” Ron whispers. “It’s just you, but you’re enough, alright?”

He takes a deep breath before letting them lift him to his feet. Whether or not Fred would agree, George still believes in taking one step at a time.
