Angelina and George: Life after Fred

In his office above a cobbled street stood a man struck with grief and sadness. Far below his feet his business was thriving thickly due to the rise in people's hopes after a long and depressing war. He yearned for the years before his brother was taken at a battle at his school just a few weeks ago.

"Mr Weasley, your brother is here to see you. Is that all sir." Said the young woman standing in the doorway with a young man with red hair by her side who has a few battle marks on his face due to his many encounters during the war.

"Yes, Yes, Thank you Druisinda. You can lock up now." Ronald Weasley looked at his brother.

"You wanted to see me George?"

"Yes. I'm going to Hogsmeade tomorrow and I want you to look after the shop for the rest of the week."

"Me? Why?"

"You're the only male in the family who has not got a job, Ron. I am merely trying to keep my business family orientated. "

"That doe sound reasonable. What do I do keep the books in check?"

"No, you just make sure the stock is doesn't run out and give out refunds, which by the way is 10% of the original amount. Also kick out any Shoplifters, after you have taken there goods of course."

"Sounds reasonable… and if I have any problems?"

"Owl me. I'll give pig some nuts if he behaves."

"So why are you going to Hogsmeade?"

"To Purchase Zonkos' of course! The wars over and I wish to branch out."

"Okay. So are you going to show me the ropes?"

"No, my manager will do that."

"Why do you need me when you have her?"

"She's pregnant."

"Oh…by y-"

"By her Husband, Ron! Merlin's beard you'd thought you'd had more brain power since you started making out with a smart girl like Hermione."

"Well…yeah."

"I'll show you the flat" said George showing his brother the door in which he came in through.

"This is obviously the living room." he said waving his hand around non-chalantly

"And to your left is the dining room." George said as he walked through the room.

"And here is the kitchen and through that door is the conservatory." Ron walked over to the conservatory and saw a window.

"Where does that Window lead?"

"Fred's Room."

"Have you… you know?"

"No I haven't."

"And is your Room opposite?"

"Yeah, the bathroom is next door."

"To the conservatory?"

"To Fred's Room!"

"Oh… sorry…when are you leaving?"

"Monday. If Hermione wants to come over that's fine. Don't have sex in my bed if you want to that type of thing use the pull out couch."

"O.K even though we are not there yet."

"So, do you want to go home and get packed?"

"Please."

"Fire Place in the living room and the Floo Powder in the Mug."

"O.K. Are you sure you're alright?" said Ron having a little trouble leaving his brother alone.

"Of course I am, Ron. Why shouldn't I be?"

"Because you lost your brother over Two weeks ago… and he way your twin."

"I am in mourning a process, Ron. Aren't you supposed to be leaving?"

"Yeah…well bye." Ron said as he made his way to the Fireplace. Within a matter of seconds there was a green flash of flame coming from the fireplace.

George made his way to the room where his twin slept. He checked it was locked. It was. He remembered having breakfast in the conservatory and he and his brother, Fred, were talking about what might happen during the war.

"We could raise our prices." said George sipping his orange juice.

"Already done." said Fred.

"I don't know what else there is to do… Although…" George said absent mindedly.

"I know what you're going to ask." said Fred with a seriousness all of a sudden.

"What?"

"What will happen if we die? Don't try and ask me what made me say it. It's just with a war looming Half of the Wizarding World is contemplating that very thing for their families."

"Speaking of which… I thought we could leave this place in the procession of Ron. He is the only male in the family who hasn't got a job and he might want to have some alone time with someone."

"Is that someone Hermione?"

"Surprisingly no… According from our "loving" sister she says that Ron seems to have been making out with a young girl called Lavender and Hermione is in Hysterics. And before you ask… I got the information via owl from Mums bedside table."

"Nicely done."

"Thank you. Anyway if one of us croaks the other has to make sure the others bedroom is locked at all times but if a loved one who was significant to them wishes to go in and take something that they wish to keep they can. The only people who I want in there is Angelina and the family. What about you?"

"Family…So what do you wish to give to Angelina?"

"Photos and an engagement ring… only if she gets knocked up by someone else or by me. I just want to be there for her if she was in that type of situation. Although if I survive I will marry her. You will be best man obviously."

"And if not Lee."

"True."

George was interrupted by his thoughts and saw an owl arrived with a letter. The letter said:

Dear George,

We are ever so grateful that you gave Ron a job. I would like to point out that if Ron and Hermione stay over please let them know that not only that it's your home but there are rule and those rules are-

George skipped to the end and saw it was his brother: Percy. He got a quill and a piece of stationary and wrote:

Perce,

Don't get your thong in a twist. I had a chat with Ron and he understands the rules which I am about to write him a list of rules. By the way… why are you using up valuable ink on me when you should be working? Which is really benign of you.

George.

P.s What did you and Penelope do in the Classroom after hours anyway?

George put the letter in an envelope and sent it via Owl to the Ministry of Magic. He then got another piece of parchment.

Ron,

Either read this or give it to Hermione:

Don't go in Fred's Room (unless if I send an owl to you.)

Leave mail on the desk in the study.

Don't use my bed for Hanky-Spanky or anything else except for sleeping an cuddling.

If Hermione needs any help in the Muggle world ask Trinian (A Squib friend of mine who lives on the Muggle street)

If needs be if there is an emergency owl me and I'll be straight back.

George put the list in another envelope and wrote: Ron Please Read this! By the Way if you haven't figured out yet I've already gone. And with that he made his way to the fireplace and found himself in Hogsmeade after a gust of green flames swirled around him.
