It had been two years since the Battle of Hogwarts, since the Wizarding world had found peace, since my best friend's death. Two years, and it seems like only yesterday that we were opening our shop. Ron helps me with that now, as does Angelina...we're engaged by the way. Our family is still healing, I bet everyone is. I only wish that Fred had survived. Percy is still a bit of a git, he gets on my nerve almost every day and for the most idiotic reasons. But one day I just cracked, we had been in a heated argument during dinner.

"George, how's the shop going?" Percy asked.

"Pretty good." I said.

"Good. The date's coming up soon. Three years." he said, not looking up form his plate.

I stare at him, "Yeah and?"

"Well are you just going to visit Fred's grave, or Tonks, Remus, and everyone else's as well?"

"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked hotly.

"Nothing. Just wondering if you were going to pay respects to the others as well."

"I do pay my respects to them! Just Fred more than others!"

"I see." He said simply, still not looking at me.

"What?" I growled.

"What?" he repeated, looking at me with patronizing eyes.

"Don't look at me like that!"

The others look back and forth between us, scared that one of us will burst any minute.

"I'm just saying. I know it's been only three years, but we really need to look towards the future, I love Fred with all my heart but most of us had began to pull through the depression...you on the other hand..."

I got up and slammed my hands on the table.

"GEORGE!" mum cried out, shocked. Percy got up as well we stared at one another, glaring.

I walked towards him, Ron hot on my trail. I grabbed Percy's collar.

"Fred was my twin brother, my best friend, and he was suppose to be my best man...he meant the world to me. So you have NO right to say that I should move on." Percy glares at me.

"You may not need to move on right now, gradually. The pain will still be in our hearts but you need to for your own sake."

I growled, my patience running thin, "I WISH YOU HAD DIED INSTEAD OF FRED THAT NIGHT!"

"GEORGE!" the others yelled out, except Percy.

He wrapped his arms around me and said, "I know. Me too. It should have been me. Not Fred. I just...I just wasn't fast enough. I wasn't able to protect.." he sobbed. "protect my little brother." his shoulder continues to shake as he sobbed on my shoulder.

"Perce." I whispered, I felt tears run down my face.

He pulls away and wipes his tears away, "I'm sorry...it's just that...every day, every hour, every second since that night, I felt guilty for his death." he walked toward the window by the sink and stared out. "It was my fault Fred died. If I were only a better wizard...maybe I would've saved him. And maybe our family wouldn't have been to sad. Especially you. I just...every time I look at you, I see him. Only with one ear instead of two."

I chuckled and walked towards him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders, "I'm sorry Percy."

"No I am...Just remember that Fred's always in our hearts. All of them are."

"Always." I looked towards the starry night sky. "Love ya Perce."

"Love you too Georgie."
