Say You'll Never Leave Me
To my other half,
You know, I could never see how Dad managed to get up each morning and carry on. I could never manage to understand how he managed to live without his twin.
I know you used to hate that I was a girl, once upon a time. Every other set of twins in the family (I say this like there's been thousands as opposed to three) has been two boys. I also know that you once refused to play with James and Louis unless I could too. I realised then that I needn't have worried, you'll never willingly leave me.
I know you hated that we got sorted into separate houses at Hogwarts; because you were so scared I'd make new friends and forget all about you. Yeah, sure like that's gonna happen. I'm never going to leave you Freddy.
I know that you were terrified the first time we got to work in the shop. You felt so sure that you'd make a mistake and Dad would be so mad that he wouldn't let us take over when he died. You should have realised, he was always going to leave it to us.
I know you hated that there were so many of us Weasley cousins born in the same year. It made it hard growing up, because whenever someone did something exciting or fabulous, someone else had beaten them to it. But, it's all worked out for the best, because where would we be now if we hadn't had them? You should have realised Fred that they'll never leave us.
I know that you've always felt sorry for Molly, the only Squib in the family. You always thought that as we grew older we'd forget her, push her to the wayside. But we'll never forget Molly, because Nanna would kill us, and also because she's as much of a Weasley as the rest of us. We'll never leave her.
We bury Dad tomorrow, and I can't help but feel happy for him. He's finally back with his other half. I can't imagine how he managed all those years without him and I hope I don't ever find out. Promise me you'll never leave me?
Love,
Roxanne
