Every year on the anniversary of his death, George went with the rest of the family to visit Fred's grave. Everyone brought flowers, said a few words and, once they were all done, returned home. What no one knew was that late on the night if their birthday, George visited again by himself. He alway brought a letter which he read out loud and then laid by Fred's grave. This year was no exception, as George settled down by Fred's headstone and began to read.
Hey Fred,
How've you been? Good as all of us I hope. Fred II and James are off to their fourth year and near inseparable. In fact, I got a letter from McGonagall saying that they were pulling off twice as many pranks as last year and getting caught half as much. I honestly believe they may've found our old map. Either way, they certainly have mischief managed.
Mum's as good as ever too. She loves all her grandkids just as much as she does us, though during holiday we all drive her bonkers. Dad takes care of that though. Their marriage is as strong as it always was, that's for sure.
Not everything is the same, though. Percy's become a lot more relaxed. He actually comes by every once in a while and helps out at the store. Bill and Charlie came by a while ago to buy something for Hugo and Ron and Hermione then came by to return it. They're all doing quite well too, you know. All your nieces and nephews got a little bit of our troublemaking streak, but they're good kids. Smart, too.
The store's doing great too, in case you were worried. Not quite the same as when you were there, but still great... I guess nothing's really the same as when you were here. We all really miss you. I really miss you. Life isn't quite the same without my twin.
I hope you're doing well, where ever it is you are. I miss you, Freddie.
Love, as always,
George
George resealed the letter and laid in gently on Fred's grave. A small tear fell from his face as he stood up and turned to go.
