Ginny isn't anything like George. She's always been far too serious, but the last year has aged her tremendously. He can't remember the last time he heard her laugh.
Fred knows things like that. He watches her all the time. The others are too busy worrying about him, wondering if he'll be able to handle losing his twin. Ron tries to make jokes, Bill writes to him more than he did before. Percy even makes an effort to be cordial when they pass each other in Diagon Alley every so often.
It's the smiles from Ginny that comfort him the most. The subtle way she glances in his direction that tells him that he'll be okay. He has to be okay. For her.
