Brother of Mine

"You okay there Fred?" I inquired, for he was looking more nervous than I as Voldemort stormed into Hogwarts and still is attacking as we speak. I don't blame Fred for being nervous, I am as well. Although, I am more worried about my brother more than my own feelings right now. Fred turned to me and forced a smile.

"I'm fine George." Fred muttered; he obviously was not fine. He looked more pale than fine.

"Don't worry there Fredie, sooner or later the battle will end and were turn back to our old pranking ways." I nudged his shoulder and he nudged me back. We were going to have an all out nudge battle until he got called down by one of the professors to help him in battle. Before he left Fred looked at me sadly and said he had to go.

"Hey its okay Fred, just promise me you'll survive okay." He smiled and put his hand on my shoulder and left. I looked at him disappear from the distance wondering why he never promised or answered me. If he answered me, I would at least be able to hear his voice before he left us.

After the battle momentarily paused, I looked for him. I looked all over the school for him. Calling his name in every direction, Fred's name echoed and bounced all over the halls of the once majestic school but now it was ruins and ashes. Everywhere I went people stared at me with pity. I knew what they all meant, but didn't accept it because Fred wouldn't do that to me, he wouldn't leave me alone like this. I went to where all the dead bodies were and cried, many I knew were dead and sprawled across the floor, Tonks, Remus, and last of all Fred. I ran to him and shook him to wake up. His eyes lost its sparkle and his skin pale blue.

"Hey Fred, come on now please wake up." I sobbed. I kept on shaking him until someone grabbed me from behind and hugged me, sobbing with me in a rhythm; I look at the person and saw that it was my mother, father, Ginny, and Ron. I tried to break out of their embrace and run but they wouldn't let me. I fell down to my knees and sobbed, a pool of tears at my legs dropping like rain.

I looked back down at his body and smiled reminiscing all the things we did together, it all flooded back into my mind. But the memories we didn't do together stuck to it also, I remember one day that me and Fred would be the best man at our own weddings depending that there was a girl in the world who liked us. Although now that would never happen, Fred would never have kids, never get married, and never be my brother again. One last tear came before I stood up and went outside.

Years After:
What was going on? I thought I was dead? So why am I breathing? I opened and saw that I was in Hogwarts, but a different Hogwarts, with newer kids that I have never even seen before. I tried getting up but couldn't feel the floor. I look down at my feet and saw why these things were happening to me.

"Bloody hell! I'm a ghost!" That caused a few stares from professors and kids.
