Heya! This is a guilty short chapter! I apologise! Please review! :D
It didn't take long to arrive back at his house. The door was unlocked because his mother was still in the kitchen and he could hear her laughs in the room and some other familiar voices.
George closed the door quietly so he didn't interrupt and was just about to run up the stairs to his room when he noticed a letter, lying on the doormat, and it seemed to be glowing slightly.
He picked it up cautiously and saw his name was on the front with a scribbled 'George' in a strangely familiar handwriting.
He wearily opened the letter and started to read:
To George,
I got your letter. I miss you too. I showed Dumbledore one of our products and he laughed! It was the instant darkness powder. I have to admit, it's really nice up here and I think you would love it when you come up. I make people laugh and they love it because some people need to laugh. They miss their loved ones down on earth. Like Lily and James miss Harry. Remus and Tonks are up here too! Apparently, in heaven, time goes faster, so when I died, Remus and Tonks had been there for about a week! It's cool because you never age. I've been here for about a month now and it's awesome! But despite everything I miss home. I know I can't see you guys until you die, which sucks. Please George, I want you to stay on earth and look after mum and dad. I want you to have a normal life. Have children, grandchildren then age. I miss you George!
Love Fred x
P.S. Your ear is up here by the way.
George gasped and he slid onto the floor.
This was a hoax, George thought, nothing else.
But then a thin wispy Patronus slid out: it was the shape of a marmoset, and it crawled around, climbing onto things (including George's shoulder) then disappeared into smoke.
"That's Fred's patronus," George whispered, "It's the same as mine."
Suddenly George's heart felt pained and slow, as if it was a train slowing to a stop. He started to see black dots and his hearing muffled. He was just able to see his mother running towards him as he felt himself fall onto the floor.
He felt so peaceful, he almost smiled. Then he let himself fall into unconsciousness.
"I'm coming home Freddie." He felt himself say, and his vision went black.
