Okay This a new George/Hermione fic. My last one some how got deleted so I'm not even going to go there! But this new story I hope you like it!
The war has ended. Many were loss, to those whom lost their lives had families also. The war was hard on a lot of people. Harry, Hermione and Ron knew that effect, they lost Friends and family. Hermione stayed at the Weasley's, she had lost her parents during the war, even though she erased their memories of her, the death eaters still had found her parents and killed them in their sleep. Hermione was saddened of her parent's death but she had to carry on, not only for herself but Harry as well. In the end they consume justice, and Harry made the magic world safe again. Hermione had a hard time because without her parents she felt like she didn't belong anywhere. There was another person that felt like she did, George Weasley. George lost his twin in the war, when a wall exploded on him. George had a hard time fitting in as well. He really didn't know how to be anything without Fred. George was sitting at the kitchen table of the burrows kitchen. He thought about Fred a lot, and everywhere he went everything reminded him of Fred. George was magically stirring his tea; he knew it was cold by now. George turned to the clock it read one in the morning. George couldn't sleep; everytime he closed his eyes he saw Fred.
Hermione jumped from another nightmare. Same nightmare since she left Malfoy manor, of Bellatrix torturing her with Crucio curse, Hermione could still feel the pain from the effect of the curse. Hermione still breathing heavily, she still tried to calm herself without waking up Ginny. Poor Ginny since after the war she hasn't keep Harry away from her sight. When Ginny lost her brother Fred, she heard news that Harry was dead, that really crushed her, but Harry didn't die, wonder if Fred didn't die would she be keeping him in his sight as well. Hermione missed Fred too, He always knew how to make her laugh, he always whispered in her ear and Hermione would just laugh spontaneously. She missed that about him, it felt like it was their secret, he was a great friend. Hermione was calm enough to go get a drink. Hermione exit the room to go down to the kitchen. When Hermione turned from the last step to go into the kitchen, she saw George sitting at the table with a sad expression upon his face. Hermione felt bad for him, she seen George look at her.
"Hermione what are you doing up?" George asked Hermione.
Hermione was shock that he didn't use her last name, this was the first time that George ever used her first name of all the seven years they've known each other, and she was shocked but thrilled.
"I …um had a nightmare, so I came to get a drink," Hermione replied. George only nod.
Hermione went to the cool cabinet and retrieved the jug of milk and poured a glass. She motion to George if he wanted any, but he shook his head to a no. So Hermione put the jug back and shut the cool cabinet door. Hermione took her drink and sat from the other side of the table almost facing George. Hermione notice that George hasn't said two words to anyone. But tonight he talked to her. Hermione got the nerved and asked him.
"George, why won't you talk to anyone?" Hermione asked.
George looked up at Hermione. He started to feel angry, but with Hermione he couldn't, there was something about her that he couldn't be, maybe it was because she didn't have red hair. George shrugged before he said something.
"I guess I feel they want to talk to Fred, but I know Fred's not here, it's just they all remind me of him," George told Hermione sadly.
Hermione had seen the sadness that was etched across George face, when he spoke about Fred.
"George you're talking to me," Hermione said.
"You're different, Hermione," George said with his head down.
"How so George, I'm not different" Hermione said.
"Yes you are Hermione," George told Hermione seriously.
"Why am I different George?" Hermione asked.
George took a deep breath before he spoke again. "Hermione, you're different because, one you don't have red hair, and two you made Fred happy; you remind me of his happiness and that's why you're different," George explained to Hermione.
"George, Fred was happy with everyone; not just me," Hermione said.
"Not like you did," George replied.
"Why?" Hermione asked George wanting to know more, but to see where he was going with this.
"Fred cared about you," George chuckled softly. "Fred was going to ask you out, once the war was over," George told Hermione Fred's plan.
George put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a folded envelope and hand it to Hermione. Hermione took the letter from George and unfolded it and it has "Hermione" on the front of it.
"I don't know what it says, but he told me to give it to you if something happened to him," George explained to Hermione as a tear ran down his cheek.
"Do you mind if I read it here?" Hermione asked. George shook his head no.
Hermione opened the letter From Fred and took it from the envelope and unfolded the letter. She wondered if George would want to hear it, so Hermione asked him.
"Do you want me to read it out loud," Hermione asked George, but he shook his head no again.
Hermione looked at the letter and this is what it said.
Dear Hermione,
If you're reading this, then I didn't make it, sad I know. Hermione there's one thing I regret about you, is that I never asked you out. Hermione I really care about you, you might not feel the same way but I love you, (Hermione started to cry) but who wouldn't love Fred Weasley "wink"! (Hermione let out a sob laugh). Hermione I want you to look after George for me, I know he isn't taking this well; I know I'm not! I want you to make him happy like you made me happy. Be there when he needs someone, listen when he wants to talk, take care of him for me, please. But if you love George then you have my blessing the both of you, I rather look down to see you two together, then anyone.
Well I got to go I'm going to play chess with Sirius, just joking I don't know who I'm going to see, but please take care of each other, make sure he reads his letter. Thank you for all the happiness and friendship you have given me over the past seven years, you're a great woman Hermione.
Love you always and forever in your heart,
You're Guardian angel
Fred!
p.s. Promise!
Hermione had tears that had spilled over her cheeks. The letter that Fred left her was very touching, it really touched her heart. But she would never have the chance, well Fred's gone. Hermione with thinking said out loud.
"I promise," Hermione said out loud.
"What do you promise, Hermione?" George asked.
"To make sure you read your letter," Hermione fibbed a little.
"I did," George said sadly.
"What did it say?" Hermione asked.
"What did you're say?" George replied back.
"I asked you first," Hermione said.
"To take care of each other," George told Hermione as he looked at her.
"That's what mine said," Hermione told George not letting him know differently.
"Well friend can take care of each other right?" George asked Hermione.
"Right," Hermione replied.
For the first time in weeks George smiled. Hermione knew he was going to be okay. It will take some time but he'll get there. George yawned, Hermione notice that he was tired.
"Maybe you should get some sleep," Hermione said when she notice the tiredness in his eyes.
"Would you stay with me," George said as he sat on the couch when he made his way to the living room.
"Sure George," Hermione said softly.
Hermione sat beside George, and he pulled her close and she laid her head on his chest, Hermione heard his heart beating, it was nice to hear a heartbeat again. Sometimes it let you know that you still got to keep on going even though times were hard. Hermione felt George's grip around her waist was tight, Hermione looked up; George was asleep. Even though his arms were tight around her, Hermione didn't care, this is where she needed to be and she stayed. She promised!
