Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
Fred II sat under the tree with his family, glancing quizzically at his father. Unlike the other Weasleys, George and Angelina did their best not to make a habit of visiting Hogwarts often. They had agreed it was best to leave their kids undisturbed at school, no matter how much trouble they caused. After all, they'd have to experience Angelina's wrath back home anyway.
Today, however, was different. It was the birthdays of George and his lost twin, the original Fred. And after years of keeping secrets and telling lies, the parents felt that they owed their kids the opportunity to at least talk about him.
"What was he like?" Fred asked curiously and George smiled; thinking about his extraordinary brother whilst Angelina responded for him.
"Think of him as George's carbon copy. They were like the same person!"
"Partners in crime, we were," George added.
Fred perked up. "So he was cool?"
"Beyond cool," George replied, a distant expression forming upon his face.
"He was one of a kind," Angelina sighed, before glancing at George. "Well, two of a kind."
"Did you love him, mum?" Roxanne asked softly.
"With all my heart," Angelina said and George wrapped his arm around her. She smiled sadly and leant into his embrace.
"He'd love you kids, you know." George remarked and Angelina snorted.
"Of course he would; they're little hellions! Give me a death eater any day!"
"Damn right they are," George said proudly. "Look Gred, I actually raised them right!"
The kids laughed and even Angelina, in her scowling glory, cracked a smile. This was the happiest they'd seen George on his birthday for a long time.
"We'll tell him all about our little baby minions when we see him again, won't we George?" Angelina said, smirking as the kids protested.
"I'm in seventh year mum!"
"So now fifth year is for babies too?!"
"We certainly will Angie."
A long day, it had been without Fred, but for once, it wasn't a solemn one. George knew he could count on one thing, if not anything else, and that was his family.
Thanks for reading! I apologise for not updating, but it's the holidays! That and inspiration has only found its way back to me, like, today.
The song inspiration behind this is See You Again, by Wiz Khalifia, featuring Charlie Puth off the Fast and Furious 7 soundtrack. I watched the movie yesterday and the ending was quite emotional. I just thought it, the Fast family and Paul deserved a slight nod of respect.
RIP Paul Walker,
