Broken Mirrors

Characters: George and Fred's ghost

Summary: What happens when your world shatters because your twin dies?


Based on Headcannon post found by fellytones on Tumblr:

After the war George sometimes forgets to speak in complete sentences because Fred's not there to share them with him any more

A/N: All words in Italic are quotes from the HP stories and were said by Fred and George


Words bounce in my head

Sentences half done

Thoughts half finished

Waiting for a voice

Honesty, woman ...

... you think she would know.

Words fall into empty space

Gestures half done

Space half filled

Waiting for a shadow

You should have said something, we had no idea ...

Hang on, I think I remember him saying something about it

Words drift in my head

Phrases half done

Laughter half done

Waiting for a smile

Ask us no questions…

...we'll tell you no lies

Words drop into broken places

Fingers half scarred

Voids half filled

Waiting for a twinkle

Where's the fun…

...without a bit of risk?

Words falter on my tongue

Sentences never finished

Thoughts never done

Waiting for your voice
