Timeline: Spoilers for Deathly Hallows, Battle of Hogwarts specifically
Pairing: Fred Weasley x Angelina Johnson
Warning: Character Death

Nobody saw the curse that flew through the air as an explosion tore through a nearby wall that distracted everyone nearby. A red jagged light hit its intended target and Fred Wesley collapsed to the ground while those around him paused, shocked at what just happened.

"Rookwood!" Percy bellowed in anger when he caught sight of a nearby wizard, wand still raised, a twisted smile on his face. Percy charged towards the wizard that downed his brother intent on revenge.

"Fred!" Angelina screamed when she caught sight of the red-head sprawled on the stone floor. She ran full speed towards him and slid across the floor, uncaring of the damage it caused to her legs, and kneeled beside the fallen boy.

"No" she sobbed as she saw the deep cuts and blood that flowed freely over his chest and pooled on the ground below him.

Angelina ripped off her sweater and pressed it tight against his chest. Fred groaned in pain, but Angelina didn't let up the constant pressure.

"Stay with me" she pleaded with tears running down her cheeks.

Fred took a rattling breath and his eyes fluttered shut.

"No, stay with me. Please. Stay with me" She choked out. It was getting more and more difficult to force words out.

Angelina kept one hand on his chest but her other lifted to cup his cheek, "Open your eyes" she prayed and let out a wet chuckle when Fred's eyes slowly opened.

"You're going to be just fine" she promised. She knew deep down it was an empty promise, but she refused to believe this was the end.

"You're going to be fine, just stay with me"

Angelina vaguely registered George coming to kneel by Fred's head and she just kept up her constant stream of words.

Finally, Fred's eyes slowly closed. His chest stopped moving and all George could hear was a loud grief-stricken wail that pierced the air. He looked up and saw Angelina rocking back and forth, Fred's hand gripped tight in hers. He watched as she leaned forward and pressed her lips against Fred's in one final kiss. He reached out and pulled her into a strong embrace, Angelina keeping her tight hold on Fred, and they broke down together.
