This is a one-shot quick story that I just thought up when reading bad mum's fan fiction, birthdays. Written from Ginny's POV
Trying to tidy up after George's birthday party was not an easy job. There were streamers, balloons and bits of food scattered everywhere around the garden. It had been an almost normal party until someone had mentioned Fred's name near the end. It had then come abruptly to an end as George had run upstairs in tears. As I watched him go, I choked back a sob, wishing things could be back the way they were before Fred had died. For the rest of the evening, I busied myself helping to clean the house and get things to the normal state.
"Ginny?" I turned round at the mention of my name to see Harry standing there smiling at me.
"H-Harry…." I stuttered, blushing. Damnit! Why couldn't I be more normal around him nowadays?
He gripped my hand as we walked outside together. "I think you should go and see if George is ok."
"Why? Don't you think he should be left alone for a bit?"
"No," Harry said firmly, gripping my hand tighter. "No I don't. Right now I think he needs his little sister."
I nodded, understanding immediately.
"ok," I said kissing him on the cheek. "I'll see you later"
I took the stairs two at a time to the second floor landing. I stopped outside the twins (no George's) bedroom and knocked. No answer.
"George? It's Ginny!" still no answer.
I sighed and pushed open the door. What I saw inside made me clap both my hands to my face in horror.
George was sitting on his bed, tears running down his cheeks. A small piece of glass from his bedroom window lay on the bed.
But it was George's face that made me scream. Blood dripped down scratch after scratch, the cuts criss-crossing over each other so my brother looked unrecognisable.
"G-George…." I stuttered, tears running out of my eyes. "Y-your face?!"
George looked up slowly, his eyes red and puffy.
"When I looked in the mirror, all I saw was Fred," came the choky reply.
There's my first chapter. I haven't decided whether to make it longer. It depends how many good reviews I get.
