My Muggle Girlfriend Chapter 95 - Saudades
It didn't take a day, a week, or even 1a month. He wasn't sure when it happened, it just did.
The others, he found soon after Fred left, lost any memory of his presence in the recent past. Instead, they all shared a sense of closure that had been missing since that dreadful day. The dark clouds that emerged whenever he was mentioned were replaced by a bittersweet longing that could be only described as saudades. Their eyes would soften and a tentative smile would appear on their lips, as if a memory threatened to invade their thoughts but they could only remember the feelings behind it.
To George, who still held the full recollection of these days, the shift took much longer. Even longer it took for him to realize the change - which was for the best, he reflected much later, as his last moment with his twin would always be one of the happiest times of his life and not a tearful goodbye or Fred's lifeless body, battered and bloodied.
Months later, when the new additions to his family was ready to leave Kagome's womb, the shattered soul that left Great Britain before was complete again.

A.N.: One or two chapters left. Sorry for the long wait!
