"Fred!" I screamed as soon as i saw his body on the floor in the great hall. I ran over to him and collapsed beside him sobbing over his lifeless body. weather i was imagining it or not i wasn't sure, but i thought i could see the hint of a smile on his face. I Felt someone put their arms around me in comfort but i didn't bother to look up and see who it was, i couldn't bear to pull my gaze away from him. "Maybe you should come sit down dear, you don't need to see him like this." Came Mrs. Weasley's kind, yet shaky voice from beside me. I felt her trying to lift me up. "I can't leave him!" I yelled through my tears not wanting to leave the sight of my beloved Fred. Mrs. Weasley dropped her efforts and sat down beside me on the cold hard floor of the Great Hall.

"Clarissa can i talk to you for a minute?" Came the voice identical to Fred's yet so different in many ways. "Ok." I lingered for a moment before getting up and following George into a corner of the great hall. "He loved you more than anything or anyone else in the world, and-" His voice broke off and a few tears slipped from his eyes, George paused for a moment to regain his nerve and wipe the tears away before continuing. "He wanted to ask you to marry him before this all started, but he could never work up the nerve, so i think its only right that you should have this." He opened his hand to reveal a small silver ring with a beautiful deep red gem placed in the center of the band. I reached out and took the ring from George and studied it for a moment before putting it on. George seemed to understand that i wanted to be alone and walked back over to where his family was still crowded around his fallen brother.

I let a few more tears fall before turning and walking out of the great hall, through the winding staircases and through most of the castle, not sure where exactly i was going but having the unyielding need to walk. Finally without realizing it i ended up at the spot where we had shared our first kiss what seemed like so long ago. I stopped and stood there imagining everything that had happened that day, Trying so hard to recall every detail from so long ago. I saw very clearly both of us standing a few feet away from where i stood at the moment, i saw the look of burning passion on his face when he looked me in the eyes and saw the same passion mirrored in my own eyes. I turned away from the spot and started my walk back to the great hall, as i turned the corner on the hallway i had been in i looked back one last time and whispered softly. " I will always love you, Fred Weasley."
