George POV
George awoke not remembering what happened, and then taking in the place around him, everything came crashing down, and he remembered his brother's death. He had never thought of himself as a sober, but that was exactly what he was doing. He had lost his best friend, his other half, his twin, his brother, and everything seemed so wrong. They were supposed to have joint weddings, each have a set of twins, they were supposed to die together. Another sob shook his body. Everything that they had planned was gone, because they hadn't died together, he was still alive, by himself.
George walked down to the great hall, where all the bodies of the deceased were being claimed and examined. He wanted to make sure, for himself, that Fred really was dead, that this wasn't just a terribly bad joke and Fred was going to wake up. George walked into the great hall and over to where Fred's body was, only it wasn't just Fred, Harry was there too. He was talking, talking to Fred, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for you to die, all these people that have died in this war, yours hurts the most, you were my family, so were Lupin and Tonks, but your death is hurting Ginny so terribly, seeing her hurt, it hurts me even more." He sighed and then ran a hand through his hair. "That's why I'm leaving, moving to Grimmauld Place; I don't want to make your family hurt anymore, Im so sorry." Then the chosen one, the boy who lived, dissolved into tears over Fred Weasley's body.
George walked over to Harry and put a hand on his shoulder. Then George spoke for the first time since the battle. "You need to stop blaming yourself Harry, none of these deaths are your fault, this was Fred would've wanted to die, fighting for what he believed in."
Harry finally looked up "It is my fault, if I would've figured everything out sooner, and he wouldn't have died."
"Look" George replied trying not to yell, "You need to stop, Ginny needs you, and you have to stop blaming yourself."
"George, I'll just hurt her more", and then Harry left and turned his back on yet another Weasley.
