Disclaimer: I still don't own Harry Potter, sadly
Miss Piratess: Thanks for reviewing 3 times. I don't really think my writings that good, but if you say so... I've got one of your stories in my favs too... It's the 'I'd kill you if you weren't already dead' one...
Chapter 3
Fred fell into and uneasy sleep after numerous hours of crying and woke up the next day at two in the afternoon. No one had dared to wake him up, not after what happened. He walked sleepily across the room and snapped his door, which was ajar, shut. He blinked at reflections of light bouncing of his face and looked at the floor. Bits of broken mirror littered the dark wood floor and reflected the bright sunlight coming from his window. He vaguely remembered shattering the mirror with his fist the night before. His knuckles still hurt from the impact and were covered in dry blood. With a flick of his wand he made to clean up the mess on the floor, but didn't do a very good job. He cussed and swore as he stepped onto broken glass again and again. He wasn't very keen on seeing the family either, what with mom crying all over the place and everyone all quiet. No, not very homey. He sat back down on the bed and looked around wearily.
'How's the after life George?' He asked absentmindedly and gave a hollow laugh.
Down in the kitchen, none of the Weasleys touched their lunch. They all just stared at their plates, eyes glistening. Mrs Weasley tried to persuade her children and husband to eat while she herself hardly ate anything. She cleared the plates, still bulging with food and proceeded to clean them. Ron made weird gurgling noises ever so often. An obvious failed attempt to speak. They were acting exactly like Fred had predicted they would, now that Mrs Weasley had started crying into Mr Weasley's shoulder again.

Fred's POV
I can't believe I cried all night. I'm too soft. What would George think? Bloody mirror. There's no way I'm going downstairs. Everyone'll be all quiet and mum'll keep crying, especially when she sees me. Dang mirror.

A/N: I guess I should clear something up. Fred's POV will be in present tense from now on. Sorry if I caused any confusion.
