Smile
Fred and George are 9.
"Hey, don't be sad! Smile!" George sat beside his brother on the porch of their house.
"Why? Because of the rain and the dirt?" Fred scoffed disdainfully.
"So what? Just try and it'll get better! It always does!" George grinned at Fred.
Fred smiled uncertainly.
After a few minutes the twins, laughing and giggling, were running around the neighborhood, jumping and splashing in the puddles under the lightly falling rain.
The passerby people looked at them, with honest surprise and confusion at the fiery red-heads – how could somebody be so cheerful like that in such a weather?
Fred and George skipped along the muddy village road...
"Look Fred, the sun is smiling with us!"
...
Fred and George are 11.
"Come on! Smile!"
"Go away George. I'm not in the mood. It's too cold."
"Just a little smile? Can you believe it, we're gonna be twelve in ten minutes!"
"Yeah, okay, that's great, but why did you drag me all the way to the Austronomic Tower at midnight?"
"I want to show you something." With that George opened the door to the roof.
"Look!" he pointed right above them, into the clear night sky, where countless stars were glimmering and shining. "Today we can see the constallation of the Gemini! That's the Twins constellation!"
If someone was to come up onto the roof of the Tower, he'd see a bit of a strange scene - two ginger haired boys, standing next to each other, looking up at the dark starry sky and smiling...
On the next morning the snow melted away.
Spring came to Hogwarts...
...
Fred and George are 17.
"Darn! The old toad is so- so frustrating!" Fred tried desperately to get out of the clutches of his brother whom he was lying on the bed with.
But George just chuckled and leaned onto his twin even more.
"Calmness, brother Gred! Smile!"
"Why?"
"Just imagine what'll be with Umbridge after our prank!"
Fred chuckled against his will. Only George could see something positive in the most shitty situation.
"You're right, brother Forge," he said, snuggling under the covers of the bed. "Our last prank'll be the best prank ever..."
A couple of hours later...
"Give her hell from us, Peeves!"
The brothers, laughing, flew out, into the clear spring sky.
"You were right, George! That was something awesome!"
"Yeah, brother, today even the sky is for us!"
...
Fred and George are 19.
"Smile Fred!"
"George, you tell me the same thing for ten years now, and every time I ask you why? Why should I smile? Because of the hunt for the muggle borns? Because the Death Eaters killing innocent people for fun? Oh, I know! Because of the tortures of the first years in Hog! So why the hell I should smile?!"
"Smile because we're alive."George replied, absolutely seriously.
Fred sighed heavily but his mouth twitched upwards, nevertheless. He hugged his brother around the waist and smiled.
After a few days, on a magic radio, a pirate wave made appearance and for the first time "Potter-Watch" was aired...
...
The professors and teachers of Hogwarts were restoring the castle's defenses.
And George was standing by a window, and watching the sky.
"You know, Fred, for the first time in my life I don't know why to smile..."
A/N: Well there's a little bit of Fred and George drabbles... I was re-reading the 'Deathly Hallows' and felt like writing this. Hope you enjoyed it;)
