George sat in his room attempting to work on a doppelganger spell. "Bloody hell!" he swore as once again the quill he was trying to transfigure melted. "Fred where are you mate? I need your help…" Tears began to fill his eyes as it hit him that he would never see his twin grinning after another successful prank again. "I don't know if I can take anymore of this crap. I want you back home Fred!" George threw a book across the room in anger at himself and his brother.
Hermione was headed towards the room she shared with Ginny when she heard a loud thump followed by a curse coming from the twins' room. Even though it had been two years since the final battle, she just couldn't bring herself to think of it as George's room, it just hurt too much. She slipped quietly down the hall and knocked softly on the door. "George, are you ok in there?" After a moment she opened the door to find George crying into a pillow. Hermione rushed over. "George what's wrong?"
"Just go away 'Mione. I just want to be alone."
"George Fabian Weasley that's the biggest lie I have ever heard come from your lips," Hermione fumed. "If anything you need company. Besides… I miss him too." With that said, Hermione collapsed on the floor wailing.
"Damn it 'Mione. How is it you always know what's wrong. Shhh, there's no sense in both of us crying," sniffed George as he leaned down and pulled Hermione from the floor into his lap. They sat that way for several minutes until Hermione straightened, realizing just where she was.
"I'm sorry George I don't know what came over me," Hermione fibbed as she stood quickly. "If he only knew," she thought to herself. Before she realized what she was doing, Hermione leaned down and kissed George full on the lips. She ran from his room, leaving him stunned.
Later that evening George found Hermione sitting in the kitchen by herself. After murmuring a quick disillusionment charm on the room he approached her. " 'Mione tell me how long you and Fred were seeing each other."
She gasped before blubbering, "I have no idea what you're talking about George."
"Oh come off it 'Mione. You think I didn't have an idea something was happening there towards the end?" his breath hitched as he said the words. For two years he had been regretting that fact that Fred had found someone and he didn't know who it was. Now that her identity had been revealed, he felt ashamed.
"George I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. It's just so hard to see you after losing him." She was unable to continue, as George was kissing her fiercely.
" 'Mione is there anyways you can forgive me for being such an insufferable prat? I should have realized sooner it was you Fred was with." He paused before continuing softly, "Especially since I feel the same way he did and always have." George slowly wiped the tears from her eyes before dissolving the charm and leaving the room.
George was once again working on his doppelganger spell when Hermione entered his room.
"George… is it ok if I stay here tonight?" George dropped his wand in shock before smiling and welcoming Hermione into his arms and heart.
