Fred had a different laugh than George. It started with a low chuckled that caused him to shake before turning to a full-blast laugh. When he laughed, everybody around him couldn't help to laugh too. Alone Fred could light up a whole room.

He didn't need George. Not like George needed him.

It was a little-known fact that Fred was older than George by twenty minutes. With Fred as the oldest, it had always been him coming up with the pranks. George couldn't operate without Fred.

Fred could.

Fred had everything that George didn't and nobody noticed because everybody thought them as one. They didn't know that Fred had the better wand, a secret girlfriend, and could ride a broom better. George fell on the short side but didn't mind it because Fred was the better of the two.

When asked why the two stuck together, they didn't tell people the truth. They didn't stick together because they were twins and thought they had to do everything together. It was because George couldn't function without his older brother and Fred didn't mind being George's backbone.

George wouldn't know what he would do if Fred would have died.
