The Other Twin
Disclaimer: I own very little, a few characters here and there, maybe just a word or two for the computer. Is that too much to ask? Would you deprive a young girl those necessities?
A/N: This idea has been toying with me for a while. Everyone looks at them as one, but what if there's more to the story?

"Wow! I can't believe you! You're so selfish! Figures you'd do something like this. Fred was always the good twin anyway. But no, I had to go with the other twin! I hate you!"

Please let me be dead, George thought. Please all this ridicule just let it end.
His eyes opened, but they did not behold his shop, or his house, not even the Burrow. He was sure he was dreaming.
"How could I be back here?" he wondered out loud.
"George!!!!!!!!!!!!" All he saw was a ball of hair, he didn't have a chance. Hermione ran so quickly and hugged with such force he thought was going to die.
"Why am I here?" George managed to get out, which was no easy task with Hermione crushing every bone he had with her hug.
"You fainted on your floor, and well, we haven't been able to get you up for days!"
"How long have I been like this?"
"A week and a half, it was so scary! Ginny flew back from America, Bill came, and Charlie, We thought you had… Your pulse was so weak it seemed like you…"
"It's ok. I'm alive. But why are we are the hospital wing at Hogwarts?"
"Oh that. Well I found you on the floor and I wasn't sure what to do, so I got Professor Dumbledore and we brought you here. Since St Mungo's was taken over, I wasn't sure where else to go"
"Where is the old chap anyways?"
A small chuckle came from doorway.
"Mr. Weasley, long time no see."
"Indeed Professor Dumbledore."
Dumbledore gave a small chuckle at that.
"Umm… sir? May I ask something? I know I left school of my own judgment and all, but things were a bit different, see, so I was wondering…"
"Yes?"
"May I return to school? I want to take my N.E.W.T.S. so if something happens I can fall back on them."
"Well, that is quite a surprise, does Fred wish to come back too?"
"Err… I am not sure, I was planning on doing this on my own, and well…"
"We shall see, I'll speak to the staff, though I am sure Mr. Filch will be quite happy to see you"
George's face went as red as his hair.
"Though, Poppy shall have my head soon, as I was to tell you to go back to sleep George."

The two girls sat on the beds in the Gryffindor dorms.
"You know everyone thinks I like Ron?"
"Well you do, don't you?"
"Erm… no. But I like one of your brothers."
"Is it Bill? Or Charlie?"
"Neither."
"Aha! It's Fred!"
"Ginny-"
"IT is!"
"No, it's George. But it'll never work, he's with Alicia."
"Oh! I should go." Ginny ran from the dormitory with a mischievous look on her face.
"Ginny wait! He has a girlfriend, remember? George is with Alicia! Come back here!" Hermione sighed and sunk onto the bed.
"Actually he's not." said an angry voice from the doorway.
"Alicia?"
"HE broke up with me, and now I know why. YOU! I was going to have going to have the perfect life! I would have had to lift a single finger the way their business was going! And you ruined it all!"
"Listen, you selfish gold-digger, you did it to yourself! George deserves better than you! You can't think about anything but yourself! George is a nice person, not that you would notice! You saw them as the twins! Not two separate people, insufferable brat!"
"Oh dear, did I upset the Mud-blood? What's the matter, Potter not laying you enough? Mark my words, you'll regret knowing George after I'm through with you!"
Alicia disappeared. After a moment, the bushy haired girl lost her composure and started to sob.
