A/N: I was in a nice angsty mood and I'm sorry, but I took it out on Fred and George, and also Alicia sadly!

George Weasley and Alicia Spinnet

Alicia looked at him. He looked sad and sorry. It was horrible to see him that way. His bright eyes were so forlorn.

'It can't be my birthday, Alicia.' He said, face red from crying. 'I can't get older if Fred can't.'

'George, you have to be strong, your birthday is going happen, you are going to get older.' Alicia said, putting her hand on his arm soothingly. A tear rolled down his cheek.

'No! I can't live more of my life without him! I can't be older then him.'

George had never been the same since Fred died. He might never be the same again. That thought cut Alicia far deeper. Not only had she lost one friend, she had also partially lost another friend too, the one she loved. Only she hadn't lost him. She still had him. And for that she was forever thankful.

'George,' she whispered, wrapping her arms around him. 'If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.'

He laughed and sobbed into her hair. 'Thank you Alicia.'

'Happy Birthday George.' Happy Birthday Fred.
