It was late in the evening. George finished his work in the shop and moved to his flat over the shop. He was really tired, he did not sleep last night. It has been a year since Fred's death and it still hurts like fresh wound. He will never get over it.
He opened the door to his flat. It was so empty there. There were some new, untested inventions in boxes in the corner. George smiled when he remembered Ginny telling him about issues their inventions has made in Hogwarts. Especially Filch was more angry than ever.
He sat down in a sofa. Again, like every evening, he was thinking about his brother.
The Battle of Hogwarts, appeasement with Percy. Too much things have happened.
Suddenly he woke up. He looked around. He must have fallen asleep. The clock on the wall said free hours in the morning. George looked at the clock and rubbed his eyes.
„Damn, George. You should go to sleep. You look terrible."
George froze. With half suprised and half terrified feelings he turned around.
„FRED?"
It was Fred, sitting in a opposite sofa with butterbeer in his hand.
„What are you staring at? You better say something – and then go and have some sleep. Like I said - You look terrible."
„W..What?"
George was confused. He couldn't believe it and he didn't know what to say.
„Easy George. By the way, you should better watch racks with love potion. How's everybody?"
George thought he went nuts, but he was so happy at the moment he didn't care.
„Yeah, well. Harry is going to marry Ginny. And Ron is dating Hermione. Ginny is a captain of Griffindor Quidditch team. She's really good."
Fred smiled.
„She's got a talent, I always knew it. Well, I've got to go, I don't have much time."
George was still a bit confused, but he didn't want this moment to end.
„Hey, Fred!" He shouted. „All this. It is not real, is it? I mean – it's just a dream."
Fred turned around with a smile on his face:
„And does it matter? It was nice to see you George."
And he vanished.
