George put Pyper down next to Fred lightly, then stood, wiping his brow, though the icy cold made it impossible to sweat an ounce.

He drew the cure Ron had given him from his pocket, and walked over to Oliver, kneeling beside him for the second time hat night. He dropped the liquid onto Oliver's eyes with his fingers, and once again moved he and Alex closer to one another, ensuring that they would see no one else when their eyes opened.

He stood again, breathing out as he slipped the small vial back into his pocket. "Well. He clapped his hands together. "That's that."

HE turned to leave, passing Fred and Pyper as well. He stopped, looking down at them, would she really be happy with simulated love? He knew her…and she wouldn't.

Sighing, he knelt and draped Fred's arm over Pyper's shoulder, wishing them all the best as he (finally) headed back to Hogwarts.
