Summary: Fred is gone, and now George has to move on. This is a bunch of one-shots about George remembering his fallen brother throughout the rest of his life.

A/N: This is my idea of what happened to George after Fred Died. I know everyone is doing this, but I have to. I feel obligated with the Twins being two of my favorite characters.

Chapter 3: George's Birthday

It was George's birthday. That's what the invitation to the party had said. The cake read Happy Birthday George. George was a year older.

That's what made it such a horrible day.

Fred was missing completely. Only his picture waved happily at his twin when the party at the Burrow began. There were no birthday pranks pulled on one another, because there was only one.

George hated it. He knew they were throwing the party because they didn't want him alone on his first birthday he'd have to himself. He smiled and forced a few laughs, but he really just wanted to go back to the shop. He'd do some work, forget what day it was, but he stood, for his family's sake. They wanted to know he was okay.

"Hey there Fred." George looked down at his brother's grave. The white stone had been specially made, with fireworks carved into the stone that would change color every hour or so. George thought it was fitting. The stone read: RIP Fred Weasley Your Smile Will Live Forever.

George sat down, cross-legged, and set a birthday card against the headstone. "Thought you might be a bit lonely…" He bit his lip and a tear rolled down his cheek. He wiped it away and smiled a weak smile, "It's so different now. Everyone was trying not to mention that it was your birthday too...do you think they thought I could forget?" He shook his head, "Nah, They're just looking out for me." He rested his head on his hand, "I miss you so much mate..."

He sat there for a few hours, talking to his twin as if he was right next to him. He told him all about the shop and its staff. He told him how Ron and Hermione were still a couple, and how Harry and Ginny had been doing since they got back together. He even told him how Percy had moved back in with their parents, trying to make up for lost time…

And just for those few hours, he felt like he wasn't as alone as he seemed to think.
