How do you say goodbye to your best friend? The one who knew you best- who knew what you were going to say before you did. The boy who was never left your side since the day you were born. Who you did everything with. No more quidditch among the apple trees, no more exploding experiments, no more chasing girls, no more teasing Ginny, taunting Ron, or giving your mother another gray hair.

How do you say goodbye to your worst enemy? People said you never fought, that you were always in tune. And it was true- the being in tune part. Because you were so similar, you agreed on most things. But on those few subjects where you differed, an outside observer would have thought that World War III was in progress. You knew each other so well that you were able to press each other's buttons. But you never could never stay angry with him; that would be like hating yourself.

How do you say goodbye to your brother?

People are looking at you, unsure of what to say. And you appreciate their distance, this is not something you ever expected to do. You were sure that he would never die. That together you were immortal. But that turned out to be wishful thinking. One minute he was there, and then with a flash of colored light he was gone.

You never went anywhere without Fred. How can you now say goodbye, when all you want to do is join him?
