Chapter 1: Comfort the Joker
And those who died at Voldemort's hand were buried in the fields outside Hogwarts, and there was much weeping and wailing. Amongst the dead were Fred Weasley and Ron Weasley, and their family was much aggrieved. Their mother turned to Hermione Granger, Ron's lover and the woman who would have been taken as his wife, and she said to the girl:
"Go, take the twin of my dead son Fred, and set him up in his flat, so that he may continue to live and care for his joke shop." And Hermione took George home to his flat, sent him to his bed, and left him there.
The years passed. Hermione got a job in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic. She grew into a young woman, fair and beautiful, of strong will and sharp mind. Every day, she would pass through George Weasley's shop to see how he was doing. The pair would always laugh and joke, and became good friends.
One day, as Hermione was leaving the shop for work, George asked her, "Hermione, would you like to grab dinner sometime?"
Hermione, though taken aback, was pleased too. She was glad George wished to get out of his shop. Time outside would be good for him. So she said, "Yes, George, I will."
One weekend evening, George and Hermione went on their date. It was a lovely meal, and an even lovelier time. But at the end, Hermione noticed some people laughing at George and his missing ear, which he had bravely lost in the Battle of the Seven Potters. George noticed, for he was morose when he and Hermione got into her car so she could take him home.
"Thanks for going out with me," George expressed. "I know it must be pitiful for you." He stared at his hands. "I can see how Mad-Eye Moody must have felt. All the people call me One-Eared Weasley."
Hermione was shocked. "Oh, that's ridiculous!"
"I'm just a deformed freak!"
"That's not true, George!" And overcome with love, Hermione kissed his cheek, before she dropped him off at his house.
