Bonds can be broken

Summary: How much can the twins take? Especially when they are separated.... by death?
Chapter One- The battle
There was a bright flash of light and Ron spun around to see more cloaked figures appear in the room, amidst the fighting. Bill was in a frenzied and hurried battle with a tall figure and his brother Charlie was back to back with him, engaged in his own battle. Ron, his wand out, dodged through the fighting until he saw his best friends, and was very glad he had. One of the Death Eaters had overpowered Hermione and she was writhing on the floor, screaming silently, hit by the Cruciatus curse. 'Stupefy' and the laughing figure fell with a wave of Ron's wand, as he ran to help Hermione up. A voice called out a warning 'Ron! Hermione! Watch out!' They turned just in time to see a Death Eater, wand ready, fall motionless to the floor. Turning further they saw the twins and Harry. Ron mouthed a quick 'Thanks' and apparated, taking Hermione to a safer place.
As the Death Eaters were stopped one by one, it soon became clear that they had become disheartened by their defeat. Many disappeared before they could be fought. Soon the room, which was a storeroom at the back of the Leaky Cauldron, was almost clear. Bill was in a corner, supporting Charlie who had been knocked unconscious by a well placed jinx. He himself was weak from being subjected to such rigorous fighting. Ron had returned and was locked in a battle with one of the remaining Death Eaters, until he was hit by an unusual curse and Harry was forced to intervene. Together they managed to defeat two of the death eaters. The effects of the curse came into effect and Ron's legs gave way, leaving Harry trying to hold him up.
One Death Eater remained, determinedly battling with George. His face was shaded by the cloak that he wore but the determination and strength was clear in his eyes. He hit George with a powerful stunning spell, which, although it missed him caused him to stumble backwards and fall. The Death Eater raised his wand again to finish him off. 'No!' Fred ran to his twins' aid but before he would get there, the figure turned to him and waved his wand sharply. George watched horrified as a huge flash of light lit up the room, blinding them all. When it cleared, Fred had disappeared. With a sardonic laugh the figure vanished.
There was a stunned silence, all eyes were on George who sat, his eyes fixed on the spot where Fred was last. He was trembling, his eyes wide. He lowered his eyes to the floor and a look of intense, desperate concentration spread across his face, but was soon replaced by an awful realisation. 'He's not there' he whispered. Bill laid Charlie gently on the floor and walked across to George. Crouching down he laid a hand on his shoulder. 'I think we should go home
