When two people are born together, they develop a bond that will always exist. No matter how much they may hate each other, or how far apart they may be, that bond will always exist.

Such is the bond of Fred and George Weasley.

The two twins felt everything the other felt. When four year old George broke his leg, it was a tiny Fred who was crying. When Fred had his heartbroken during their second year, it was George who felt anger. That is perhaps while they were inseparable.

They were two sides to the same coins, utterly in sync with one another. Fred was rash, talented, abrasive, blunt and favored actions over words. George was methodical, contemplative, careful, and believed words could solve any problem. Both boys were extremely mischievous and extremely intelligent.

Their fierce loyalty for one other could only be characterized as Fate. Had these two not been brothers, the loyalty would have still been there, much like another set of friends who went by Padfoot and Prongs.

George never did anything without consulting Fred. Likewise, Fred always asked George for advice. They lived; they laughed; they loved together. They were one another's rock, their constant. When the world went to war, the Weasley twins fought back.

"You okay, Freddie?"

"Yeah."

"Me too."

The last words George ever spoke to his brother. Nothing was mentioned about love or how much each other meant to the other. Because, in their minds, they would have a million chances to say those things, a million and one, if they put their heads to it.

So, when Fred's body turned up, the light faded from his eyes, George thought it was a joke. Ever the trickster, Freddie. But Fred's last joke died with him, and George was left alone and cold.

When two people are born together, they develop a bond that will always exist. No matter how much they may hate each other, or how far apart they may be, that bond will always exist.

The bond between Fred and George wasn't severed, merely frayed slightly. For years to come, George would still feel Fred's hand on his back as he completed a project and still hear his laugh as a prank went particularly well. When George got married and had children, it was his brother's voice he heard congratulating him.

George Weasley might have been left in the dark, but Fred was still there to shine the light.
