One-shot. I was feeling sentimental and horrible over Fred's death and I was grieving how the twins seemed that they would never have a happy ending… so this is just a short, happy reunion. Warning: I try to be funny.
George stood in a white room. He didn't know where he was or how he'd gotten there or why he was even there… he just was, and that confused him. What was going on?
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, and all his questions were answered. "Oi, your Holeyness, over here!"
He spun around and found himself face to face with a ginger-haired boy, completed with a mischievous grin and twinkling eyes. A mirror image of himself. "'Bout time you visited, mate! Kept me waiting!"
"A whole wide world of ear-related humor and you choose 'your Holeyness?" George smiled as he hugged Fred. "'Bout time yourself! Never considered haunting me for old time's sake?"
"Nah," Fred shrugged. "After all, who'd be able to survive eternity without me? Ya' know, things have been worse for me since I died! Snape's all about how 'he was right and we were wrong and we didn't respect him enough' and of course, good ol Lupin's always got his panties in a ruffle. What would they do without me?"
George smirked. He remembered all too clearly the day his life had changed. The day his world had turned upside down when he had gone from 'we' to 'me.' Fred hadn't been there to finish his sentences or test his ideas with him. There was no one he could talk to or confide in. No one he had loved in that kind of brotherly way. Ron had been great for helping with the Joke Shop, but he was no Fred.
"Well, you went out with a boom, that's for sure!" George had been waiting decades to say that.
Fred beamed. "Come along now, handsome! I believe we have some catching up to do."
They began walking in the white nothing which was slowly becoming more of a creamy eggshell color. "Did you see my brilliant invention, the-"
"Cackling Cauldron, yes!" Fred beamed. "Bloody brilliant! Percy wasn't too fond of it… him and his cauldrons."
"That was the first product after you…"
Fred shook his head. "Good times, mate! Remember what you said for the first – I don't know – ear and a half after my death?"
George rolled his eyes at the ear joke. "If it happened to Fred-"
"He would want you to laugh at it," Fred finished George's sentence. "Exactly! Now, I need you to promise me something." He managed to give George a very severe, serious expression.
George read it perfectly. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," he said with equal sincerity.
"Great, there's a load of mischief to be managed!"
The white had completely faded and they were suddenly walking through a city with people. Fred smiled and waved around. "Welcome home, Georgie!"
George was the happiest he had been since May 2nd of 1998. "It's good to be back, Freddie."
And the two walked on with an entire eternity left to prank.
Short, I know, but I feel better and hopefully so do all of you. Until next time!
