George whimpered softly. He wanted to find a way to let Fred know that he was still there, that he was going to be there for a long time. Something deep inside George told him that he didn't have the amount of time he was forcing himself to think he possessed. Fred was still sobbing over George's body, rocking him like a child.
" You're going to make it George. We have to get home. Mum can fix it. She has to." Fred pulled George up as he stood. George coughed and blood began to drip from his mouth. Moving him was the worst thing Fred could do. Their home was not far from where they were but George was afraid that he wouldn't even make it to the end of the block.
The pain had seemingly dulled, either that or George had gotten used to it. He forced himself to move, walking with Fred's assistance. George felt more lightheaded with each step and stumbled along the sidewalk. Blood still dripped from his body, leaving a thick red trail on the concrete as they continued on.
They stood outside for a moment. George felt his strength disappear completely as he fell to the ground. Fred was dragged down with him. George screamed softly as Fred landed on top of him, pushing his injured flesh against the hard, cold ground.
" George get up. You can do it. Look, we're almost there." Fred shook George. He could only groan in reply. Everything was beginning to dim and George could no longer feel the cold. He knew this was it. There was not any way that he could stay conscious.
// Why didn't I go in the store with Fred? Why couldn't I just follow him in? Would I have avoided Lucius Malfoy or would he have just stood outside waiting for a victim? If he was waiting outside would he have attacked Fred too? Was I able to save my brother's life by what was done?
Fred. What will he do now? Does he know I love him? Does he know I never meant to leave? Does he know that I will always be with him? What will he do now? We've never been apart. Will he be able to make it on his own?
I only wish I had the chance to show him how much he meant to me. Why didn't I ever try to prove it to him? Is he angry that I didn't? What would I do if it were him instead of me? I'd die. But I've always been the weaker one. Fred will be able to get past this. He'll be fine. He has the family; they'll help him through it.
What happens after death? I don't want to die! I don't want to go through eternity alone! I can't! Whoever is up there, I want you to know this; you cannot take me away from my brother! You cannot be that cruel! You cannot make me face whatever happens now alone!
No, you can't tear us apart!//
A tear rolled down George's cheek. The blood tinted it pink and another followed it. George could not feel the tears but he knew they were there. He could tell by the soft kisses that touched his closing eyelids. Fred was silent, or perhaps George was unable to hear him now.
George felt like he was floating. Almost like someone was carrying him. There was a light shining on him, it was warm and comforting. George opened his eyes. His family was standing over him with worried expressions. The light was from a small white candle that was held above his head. Ginny was crying in their father's arms and Ron was pulling their sobbing mother away. Percy was holding the candle, face as pale as the wax.
George was happy that he could see his family again for one last time. He only wished that Bill and Charlie were there with them. It had been too long since he had seen them last. Now he would never see them again. George knew it was too late, there was no way to stop the bleeding quickly and even if there was he had lost too much blood already.
" I love you." George forced out in his final breath, looking for the last time at the family who had been there for him for his life. He regretted not letting them know hoe much they meant to him sooner but more than that he regretted not being able to tell them all individually how much he cared.
// Mum: You've tolerated more than anyone has been known to take. You may have gotten frustrated sometimes but you were always there to make things better.
Dad: I'm sorry I never behaved the way you wanted me to. I tried my best to be a good son but even with all my tricks and pranks all I wanted was for you to be proud.
Ginny: I know you're going to grow up to be all that we hoped you would. You're a strong girl and you have Mum, Dad, Ron, Percy, Bill, Charlie and Fred to take care of you when I'm gone.
Ron: Stay gold. You have a lifetime of adventures in front of you, just be careful and make sure you look before you leap.
Percy: I'm sorry for what I put you through. I only did it because I loved you and I knew you could take it.
Charlie: I still don't get that joke about the nuns but I'm sure it's funny. Stay safe. Come back to Mum and Dad in one piece and make sure your alive.
Bill: You taught Fred and I everything we know. You inspired us to become the tricksters we were. I hope you always stay the same.
Fred: There's so much I want to say. Where would I be without you? I'd be only half a person. You were always there. When no one else understood I could count on you. I love you Fred! I don't know what I'm going to do without you.//
Everything was black and silent to George. He smiled faintly and looked from face to face one last time. This was it. His body went limp in Fred's arms.
