Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter though I'm thinking of stealing the twins ... That Rowling woman is just so mean to them!

AN: For prompt - Photograph. A change of pace or at least a change of character. My first time writing George.

SPOILERS FOR DEATHLY HALLOWS!


George sat in his room, photograph in hand - faded from handling even with the charms he'd placed on it years ago.

He could hear the children below - bangs, screams, and cries of April Fools. Later, after their fun would come the family get together for his birthday but for now he sat in the deserted room and started blankly at the moving picture of he and his brother.

They'd been so young then. Enjoying every moment together because that's the way they'd done everything - together.

That's the way today, their birthday, should have been and he couldn't help but feel resentful. His family would come over tonight and they'd expect him to be happy, so he'd put up a front when he didn't feel he should have to. They should have understood.

In moments like this, he envied his Uncles Fabian and Gideon, at least they had gone together.
