Even In Death
Forgive Me, Brother

I'll admit, when they told me we were going to have a huge service here, at Hogwarts I wasn't really pleased. I wasn't going to agree to come, let alone give a speech. But my brother died here; my brother died in the war, he's gone and he isn't coming back. I can't imagine how hard this is on George, Fred was his twin he will be reminded of him every time he looks in the mirror. I look something like him, my hair is Weasley red, as everyone has started calling it now, and I have freckles as he did.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say here. My brother died a hero, not because he died trying to make the world a better place, not because he died at war; but because he died protecting his family. If it wasn't for Fred, I would be up here talking about Percy, about how he was such a git. But Fred didn't care that he was a prat, he saved him anyway. I guess in the end, your family is your family no matter how much of a prat you are.
Everyone thought we were some kind of picture perfect family, but we never were and we definally aren't now. So, we're war heroes, so what? What's the difference between us and the Malfoys? The sides of the war we were on? Nothing is different, we all fought, we all killed. And a lot of people are dead because of it...
I don't think he would want us to be sad... I think if he were alive now he'd make some kind of fireworks go off or sneak puking pasties in every ones food; he'd make everyone erupt in steady laughter. I believe he's looking down over us and laughing right now because I knew him so well... But I'll never know, not for a while anyway. So goodbye, Fred. I'm sorry I gave you so much hassle when I was little, and I'm sorry you died.
Please forgive me, brother.
