He heard Fred snarl, "Bull Shit! He would have told me! I'm his twin! He would have told me something…wouldn't he?"

George heard Fred's voice break and slowly made his way back to his room. He cried, hating himself for his feelings, hating himself for hurting Fred.

Maybe he could send Fred something just to let Fred know he was ok and that he was sorry that he was hurting him…he sat thinking until a knock sounded on his door. Krecher was waiting out side the door, "Master Potter asked Krecher, to come get you. Krecher said he would, and he told Krecher to tell you that the guest where gone."

George walked down the stairs and walked into the kitchen. Luna smiled sadly, "My guess from your history, that you heard all that."

George nodded and sat down. Harry put a cup of Butterbeer in front of him. He started to sip and Harry sighed when he sat down, "Fred's really upset…maybe you should send him something…"

George didn't look up and just turned to stare at the fire, "I thought about that, but I can't decide if it would be better to just stay away or if I should at least let him know I'm alright."

Luna touched his shoulder gently, and Harry sat down next to him, "We can let him know your ok, but it might hurt him that you're talking to us and not him…maybe you should let it go for a few days and then see how he is."

George nodded at Harry and raised his head, "I'm sorry…I just don't know what to do…I couldn't take it if Fred hated me or if the family hated me…but I hate hearing Fred sound so hurt…"

He heard the smile in Luna's voice, "You should go rest, work for the rest of the week and then take it from there. You'll be all right…good people don't suffer with out a good reason. Fate is a funny bitch, but she's not evil."

He turned to Harry who just shook his head and shrugged. George had a feeling Harry just nodded at whatever crazy stuff Luna said.

He made his way up the stairs and quickly fell asleep, He had horrifying nightmares, about Fred finding out and hoping he died.

The next morning, George rolled out of bed and realized he was running late, he jumped in the shower, threw on his uniform and headed down the stairs. He managed to wave at Harry and Luna before leaving.

He was surprised at how many tips he made, girls tipped him extra and even some guys. He knew he was charming but he didn't think he was that good. He was leaving after the lunch rush but one of the servers called in sick and he volunteered to work the rest of the night.

As the dinner rush started he saw Luna and Harry walking in. He waved at them and greeted them, "Hey guys, where is James?"

He led them to their table, "Oh he's visiting Uncle Severus!"

George smiled at the mental picture in his head and gave them the menus. One of the female servers, Jessica, who had been flirting with him for a while, even after his attempts to brush her off, turned to George, "Is that your family? Brother?"

He was about to ask how she thought him and Harry looked alike but remembered that he had changed his appearance, "Yeah, he's my half brother."

He walked back to the table and Luna pointed at the girl, who looked a little taken back. Luna wasn't even trying to hide that she was talking about her, George had to smile, same old Luna, "who's the chick?"

"She's one of the servers here…why?" Luna smiled and motioned for the girl to come over.

Jessica smiled and walked over, "He's not interested, leave him alone, and besides he's gay."

George smiled at Luna's frankness and Jessica stood shocked, "Oh, that's why you didn't flirt with me! Well that's ok we can still be friends."

"Thanks Luna, anyways what can I get you guys?" Luna ordered five different meals and Harry only ordered a one.

When George raised an eyebrow at Luna she shrugged, "I'm carrying a baby; everything I eat, he or she eats so it's like I've never freaking ate at all. And besides I've always been a healthy eater."

Harry laughed, "I remember on our first date you ordered at least three different meals, of course we needed our energy for later on-"

George groaned, "Harry come on, I don't need all the details!"

Luna giggled and when they finally left they waited for George. He noticed how half of the male servers now talked to him and flirted like hell. He wasn't even close to being ready to flirt back.

"George, everyone's going out to dinner in a couple days, so we wont be getting home…until well you remember last time…but it's more like a meeting about you. Knowing Molly, she'll make everyone eat first, and then discuss you."

He nodded and looked away, all memories were bittersweet now. He loved going out to dinner with everyone, not only did the whole Weasley family show up but so did Harry and Luna, with James, and Severus, Tonks with the baby, Neville, and if they had dinner at the Burrow, Hagrid along with Krecher and Dobby showed up.

(A/N: Yes!!! This is one thing I love about writing my own story!! You can change stuff!! One thing I hated about the seventh book was about a certain house elf!! If you've read it you know what I'm talking about but if you haven't….What are you waiting for!!!!)

He knew he wasn't going to be part of the family gatherings any more. It hurt and suddenly he wondered what he was trying to do. It wasn't like he was going to find another love of his life…so basically he was going to end up sad and alone…how depressing was that.

He pushed the thoughts out of his mind and tried to focus on the present…on getting through each day without seeing the rest of his family, with seeing Fred. He missed finishing each others sentences, looking at his twin and seeing his reflection but knew it was different too, he missed being able to talk about everything.

Luna and Harry had stopped talking and left him with his thoughts, they stopped by and he was warmed to see Severus jumping up and down trying to catch a flying James, "Oh look Harry, Severus bought James a broom!!!"

Luna came running in and George nodded to Harry and then went home.

Severus, Luna and Harry's conversation

Harry and Luna walked in. Severus sighed and sat down when James flew into his fathers arms, "So Harry, Luna, why was George walking with you…but no one else seems to be able to find him?"

Harry shifted in his seat but Luna smiled, "Severus how did you know?"

Severus smiled at her, "Luna I have protective charms around my house from centuries ago, the spell immediately told me who was here. I was surprised, it didn't look like him but the spells never led me wrong before."

Luna sighed and told him the story and he smiled, "Well that's news to me…Molly's worried sick though and the rest of the Weasley clan are too, Bill and Charlie came back the day he left and they look horrible, Ron and Ginny look worried too, and Fred…well Fred looks like hell. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose a twin...that must be horrible. My guess is someone's got something to tell at the dinner…hmmm…well I'm going to bed my nephew wears me out."

They smiled and left, "Harry, I wonder if Fred feels then same way about George."

Harry shrugged, "I don't know but it would be a lot better for everyone…I hate seeing Fred so upset, and I hate seeing all the emotions in George's eyes, he looks angry, sad, depressed, lost, but most of all he looks so defeated…I've never seen him like this. I can hear him cry at night…"

Luna nodded and took Harry's hand as she watched James flying ahead of them, "Harry we have to do something…"

Back to George

When George had gotten back to the house he showered and sat down on his bed, He grabbed a picture out of his bag and stared at him and Fred smiling and waving from the front of their shop…well Fred's shop now.

He had so many emotions ripping threw him that all he wanted to do was leave his body for a while and leave it all behind, but he shook his head and reached for the Daily Prophet. He looked and found a couple apartments that where cheap but lightened up a little, when he saw a small house for rent and the rent was cheap. He circled it and decided that tomorrow after work he was going to give the owner a call.

He lay down and didn't hear Harry or Luna come in twenty minutes later.

The next day he was up earlier and took a longer shower. He went to the kitchen and sat down. Luna placed scrambled eggs and with sausage in front of him. He devoured it and showed the add to Luna, "Oh yes that's a friend of mines house but I thought she already rented it out…hmmm…but She'll make you wait at least a week before moving in. She doesn't do things very fast..."

He thanked her for the breakfast and played with James until Harry came down the stairs, "George do you think that you could watch James for maybe an hour or two after work so I can go shopping?"

George nodded and left the house. When he got to work one of the guys, Mitchell, stopped him, "George, is it true? Are you gay?"

George sighed and nodded, "Sweet! We need to hang out!"

He gave a small smile and started his shift. By lunch, he had a very full pocket. He was thankful that Gringotts exchanged Muggle money for Wizard money now. He already had enough to pay for a months rent, If he got that house. He left and went home, he found a piece of paper in his pocket containing Mitchell's number, Luna raised an eyebrow and he chucked it in the fire, "Can I take James flying?"

Luna smiled and pointed to an old shoe, "It's a Portkey, and it'll take you to an open field. Harry found it when he first thought of letting James fly. You can take Harry's broom, he wont mind just don't break it."

George smiled and packed some food; and he lifted James and grabbed the Portkey. They arrived at the field and George hoped on. He laughed at James attempt to get on his broom. The little boy had tried to hop like George but fell on his butt. He smiled up at George and George scooped him up and set him on the broom. They took off. They flew for hours; he marveled at James's talent, he was defiantly the child of Harry Potter.

When they were done they left and Luna smiled at him, "Thanks so much George!"

James was asleep in George's arms and Harry got up and put him to bed. Luna smiled and then whacked herself in the face, George stood open mouthed at her, "Oh I almost forgot to tell you! I called my friend and she said that she'd be happy to meet you but it won't be until Friday!"

He thanked her and headed up to bed. It was going to be Wednesday tomorrow so he only had a couple days until he looked at the house, he new something had to wrong, the rent was too cheap for the size of the house. It had three bedrooms, two had a half bath and the master had a full bath.

He sighed when Luna knocked on the door, "George you must have forgot to set your alarm, you're going to be late if you don't leave soon!"

He jumped out of bed and washed himself fast. He threw on his outfit that Luna washed the night before and left.

When he got to work he sighed, it was going to be a long day. He could already see Mitchell waving at him. He gave him a small smile and went to work. When two servers didn't show up for lunch, he, Mitchell, and Jessica had to double their efforts.

When the lunch rush tampered off, they all three collapsed at the bar. George had to admit that Mitchell was funny. After listening to a few of Mitchell's stories about pranks he used to pull in high school, it reminded George of him and Fred. He turned to get up but stopped dead when he saw Hermione coming threw the door.

She stopped dead in her tracks, "GEORGE!!!!"

She ran forward and threw herself on him. He hugged her back, he gave into his momentary weakness, back at the Burrow he and Hermione had gotten close. Ron was such a bloke that George had to help her with Ron.

"Damn it, Hermione can everyone tell that it's me!" He heard her laugh but stop. She punched him hard on the arm and glared at him.

"No I can tell because things like that don't work on me! Fifth year when Harry, Ron and I, plus Luna and them went to the Ministry something happened and I can see right threw things like that, like I can always tell the difference between you and Fred and Harry when he's under the cloak…Where the hell have you been?"

He shook his head and looked over at Mitchell who was glaring at Hermione. He gave her a look and headed out the door, "Oh, um…Geo-Gerald these lovely people are my parents. Mom, dad it you would excuse me, I need to talk to my friend here for a minute. Find a table I'll be right in."

When they were outside she put her hands on her hips and glared at him. George tried to smile but sighed instead. He told her the whole story, she nodded her head and then hugged him hard, "Oh George, I'm so sorry…Fred's devastated. Molly just cleans all day, Ron cant sleep at night, Ginny cries a lot, and Bill and Charlie keep looking for you, along with Arthur…George I think you should tell Fred-"

George's head snapped up, "No Hermione and you can't tell anyone! If they found me, they'd want to know why and I can't fend off my whole family, hell I can barely even lie to Fred. He would hate me! I can't have him hate me or have my family hate me…it would hurt everyone…I can't do that."

She sighed and then hugged him one last time, "Ok, I wont tell anyone I promise. Well I have to get back to my parents…we're talking about wedding dates…I wish you could come…"

Her voice broke and he tried to smile, "Don't worry Hermione…I wish I could too. But I need to work on my appearance just in case."

She started back in and then stopped, "Where are you staying so I can visit? I really miss you George…" She had a sad smile on her face

He walked her back inside, "I'm currently at Harry's and Luna's, put I'm looking at a house Friday…"

She smiled and with one last hug, went to sit with her parents. He held back the emotions surfacing and took a shaky breath. Some one tapped him on the shoulder and he jumped a little, Mitchell frowned at him, "Are you ok? Who was that? Why did she call you Gerald?"

George shook his head; he wasn't in the mood for this. He wanted to rage and scream and cry all at once. "I used to go to school with her…and I changed my name because my dad's name was Gerald and it got to confusing. I'm fine…you don't have to worry, I just need to go home and rest."

"But we don't have anyone to fill in for you or the others…what happens when dinner rush comes."

He gave a small smile, he could see how much Mitchell wanted him to stay, "We already called extra people in for dinner, See you later."

He strolled out and found a quiet place to leave and go home. He played with James and helped Luna cook. He told her about Hermione and she gave him a hug when she saw the expression on his face.

Luna smiled at him, "Don't worry, Gerald, Love can hurt but throw it off a building and it comes back."

He sat there for a minute, what the hell do you saw to that? He tried to smile and he sighed in relief when Harry came home.

That night when he went to sleep he was excited; he only had a few days until he looked at that house. For some reason it felt like he couldn't restart his life until he got it.

He sighed slowly and fell asleep, dreaming of his beloved twin, his mirror, his love.
