A/N: This is an all-dialouge oneshot that popped into my head. I'd love it if you'd review, but of course you don't have to.

"He doesn't trust me."

"He doesn't really trust anyone anymore, Cas. Barely his family."

"Yea, but me..."

"Yes, Cassie, even you. It's been hard. He doesn't know who to trust—"

"But he's always trusted me! Don't you remember, in 5th year, for his- their- birthday, he trusted me to go into the Forbidden Forest before you, Ron?"

"I know that, but—"

"But nothing! He can't... He just has to..."

"Cassie, George hasn't truly trusted anyone since Fred's death. We never know what's going on with him. He never tells us anything unless he has to, and when one of us walks in on him without knocking, he looks at us like we'll hurt him."

"...but... I need to see him, Ron..."

"You can't. I told you, he barely trusts his family, let alone friends."

"He's not going to hurt me. He'd never hurt me."

"You don't know that, Ca—Stop, don't!"

"Let go, Ron!"

"I can't let you go in there!"

"I'll knock, alright?"

"It's not knocking that's going to set him off, Cassie! He's not going to be the same. It's been a while since you've seen him. He's different. He won't be the George you expect to see."

"I don't care."

"You're mad, honestly..."

"I'll do anything for George, Ron. It doesn't matter what state he's in."

"But—"

"I'm not going to stop loving him just because he's grieving his twins death! We're all grieving, Ronald! Your family, me, Harry, Hermione, we're all still grieving, and we all still care for one another! Nothing's going to change that. So if you'll excuse me, I'd like to see George now."

"...just through there, Cassie..."

"Thank you."

[-]

"George? It's me, Cassie... It's alright, no, sit down, please... I'm not... I'm not going to hurt you. I'd never hurt you..."

"Cassie. I haven't... seen you in a while."

"No, not since h—the battle... I've missed you, George."

"I've... I've missed you too."

"You have?"

"I've missed a lot of people, Cassie."

"...George, do you trust me?"

"You can trust me George. You've always trusted me... Please, you've got to trust me... Like in 5th year..."

"Fred was there in 5th year."

"Yes, I know he was."

"He isn't here now."

"...He's here. You just can't see him. He's right there, in you, George. Ron tells me you keep saying a part of you died with him that night."

"...I did, Cassie. It's not the same without him..."

"...But if a part of you died with him... then a part of him, lives on with you."

"...I... I hadn't... thought of it that way..."

"Thank you, Cassie."

"Oh, you're... you're welcome George... It's been a while, since you've hugged me."

"I told you I missed you, love.

"...Yea, you did."

"I love you Cassie.

"I love you too, George."
