Dear George,
I just realized I might die, so I'm writing this quick-- I'll miss you, Mum, Dad, Bill, Charlie, Ron, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, Lupin, Tonks-- everyone really. Even Percy; I'll never get to tease him anymore. Tell Angelina, Katie, Oliver, Alicia, and Harry it was great playing with them. Lee'll be great for the shop, and tell him that his giant tarantula is the coolest and that he should put it in Percy's bed sometime. Tell Angelina the Yule Ball was great and it was hilarious what she did to the punch (it definitely beat my goulash stunt but I'd never admit it). Send Ginny and Harry toilet seats from Hogwarts, Pomfrey confiscated that one we tried to send him in his first year. Maybe offer Ron a job at the shop, tell him it's the only way he'll get a discount. I can't even think what to say to Mum and Dad.
And I'm sorry I won't be around to finish your sentences and work on Elephant Eclairs. Name your first-born son after me, would you? I hope I live and I know it must be tough for you, beyond that really-- I wouldn't be able to stand it if you died-- and this whole thing is beyond cruel. I imagine you'll all be desolated. I just hope everyone else comes out alright too.
The Best,
Fred
P.S. On the bright side, if I die and you don't, I get to meet Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs first.
George, sitting on his bed, reread the letter until the words blurred. Then, laughing and crying, he got out some parchment and borrowed Pigwidgeon from Ron.
I got the idea from a fic titled Shut up, Sirius. It was post-DH and had a mention of Fred hero-worshiping the Marauders for a week after he died. It was Marauder-centric and really good, I forget who the author is though. So then I just thought about how Fred would tease George because he got to meet the Marauder's first.And then... this. Hoped you liked it!
