takes place right after Harry sneaks off in the end of the movie with the invisibility cloak and meets up with Ron and Hermione.
"Hello, George."
The redhead turned to see the blonde Ravenclaw before him. "Hey." He muttered, before turning back to the window.
They were in an empty hallway, George standing in front of a floor-length window.
She stepped closer to him, tentatively placing a hand on his arm.
"How are you doing?"
"How do you think?" He snapped back, then glanced at her.
"Sorry, I'm just.." His voice hitched.
"I know." She murmurmed, and stood beside him, gazing out onto the Quidditch feild.
"I feel..I feel.." He turned away, covering his eyes.
"Go ahead," She urged softly. "It's good to talk about it."
He turned to her, his misty blue eyes meeting her silvery ones.
"I feel like I've lost half of me..."
She nodded, not saying anything.
"Fred..Fred was me. I mean, we were each other. Fred and George. George and Fred. And now it's just.." His voice cracked. "George."
Luna nodded sadly. "I know how you feel. When my mum died..I was like a ghost for a year.."
He shook his head and leaned against the window, wiping away a tear.
"You don't..You don't know. Fred was..he was so much. My brother, a comedian, a buisnessman, a.." He trailed off, feeling as if he was reading a eulogy.
"They're never really gone, you know." She offered.
He sent her a questioning look.
"All of them." She looked down, sighing. "My mum, Fred, Tonks, Dobby..They're always with is in spirit. Guiding us." She smiled softly.
He exhaled in a mix of tears and laughter.
"You really are loony, aren't you?"
Luna just smiled.
He sighed again, and swallowed, turning back to the mirror.
"He's..He's always been there. We were a duo. I remember..our first year here..It was when we found the first passge out.."
George touched his face, where his ear was missing.
"That joke..The joke I made when I first woke up, and I said.." He closed his eyes tightly, fighting back tears. "I said, everyone would be able to..to tell us apart.."
Luna walked up to him, and hugged him.
"It's okay." She whispered into his only ear. "You can cry. It'll be okay."
So he did.
Quietly, he slipped his arms around the girl, letting his tears slip out.
"I miss him." He sobbed. "I miss him so much."
"I know." Luna whispered, feeling tears of her own prick her eyes.
After the both of them had a good cry, he pulled back.
"Thanks, Luna.." He said quietly. "I needed that."
She smiled and took his hand.
"Anytime, George."
)'': I nearly cried while writing this.
yup..so..I was looking through random harry potter fanarts, and I came across one where george was sitting on a bench, and an angelic looking fred (complete with little pink wings) had his hands on his shoulders, all comforting like.
and i was like. "I NEED TO WRITE SOMETHING."
and I adore Luna, -and this coupling- so voila!
my first harry potter fanfiction..wow. little late, huh? xD
