Everyone was gone now. Everyone except Hermione and George. Mione was trying to convince both George and myself that I wasn't dead and that I would wake up eventually. George was looking through all of Hermione's books trying to find a spell to revive me.
"George, I know he's not gone. I can feel his presence in the room."
"Since when have you cared this much about my twin? Why did you kiss him when you were saying goodbye? Bloody hell, I knew he liked you but I had no idea you felt the same for him."
"You saw that? I thought nobody was looking. Truth is, I've liked him since the day we met. Seeing how you guys were with Ginny before we left on the Hogwarts express, made me know I'd be save in one of your arms, and no offense, I've always just thought he was cuter."
Had the brightest, prettiest girl I'd ever met really liked me since we first met? Did she really think I was cuter than George? I'd always seen myself as the less attractive twin. Could it even be possible. Maybe I was hallucinating.
"Ouch Mione. That hurt."
"Sorry Georgie. There's just something about him that I like, and you don't seem to have it."
Wait, she couldn't have just said that. I must be hearing this wrong. There is no way that someone that beautiful could like me. Especially over George. That's not possible. She must be joking. I must be hallucinating.
"Oh come on Hermione, we have the same face. We're identical!!!"
"But he's better! I'm sorry George but you're just not as special as he is. He just has something that I can't explain."
That was it. I needed to wake up. To wrap my arms tightly around her and tell her that I'm alive. Then we could be together. We could be happy together.
"Bloody hell Mione. I get it. You're in love with my twin. You don't have to keep telling me how much better than me he is though." His voice trailed off. "If only Fred were here. Then you could be together. He could finally have the person he's been dreaming of since we tried to put our names in the Goblet of Fire." If I weren't mistaken, he had started crying.
"George, come here. Sit down next to him and put your hand on his face. Look at him, he's here he's just not awake."
He walked over and I felt his warm hand touch my cheek. "Mione, he's gone. He's not here and I can't stand to see him lying there. You can't understand how much it pains me to see the person I've NEVER been separated from in my life, laying on the ground in front of me, dead."
"But George! He's not dead."
"HE HAS NO PULSE HERMIONE!!!"
"George, feel his face. If he had been dead for the 12 hours he's been laying there, he'd be cold and white as a sheet. He's not. His face is still warm. Blood is still pumping through his body."
This only made me love her that much more. She was so cute when she was being nerdy.
"Leave it to you to try to use science to convince yourself he's not dead. Clearly he's gone Mione."
"George, just have faith. He's not gone. Go home, get some sleep, and in the morning you can come back and see for yourself that he's alive."
"I won't leave him. I will lay on the stone ground if I have to, but nothing will make me leave him."
My heart was breaking listening to this conversation. My twin and the girl I love were both sitting next to me crying and discussing whether or not I was dead. I needed to wake up.
"Georgie, please get some sleep. You look like you're about to die."
"Well maybe I want to die. My twin is dead. There's nothing left to live for."
"George if you can't live for you, and you can't live for your family, then live for me. I can't lose both of you, nevermind what Gin thinks. She needs you George. I need you George. Go to sleep."
"Fine. If it makes you happy, I'll even go back to the flat, but you have to promise that if you're right, and he wakes up, you apparate to me and bring me to him."
"I promise Georgie. I promise."
Well at least she'd convinced George not to kill himself. That's a plus. Now it would be great if I could wake up while he's sleeping to surprise him.
Hermione came over and ran her soft hands through my hair. "I know you're in there Freddie. I know you're there. Please wake up."
I'm going to try to post the third chapter by tonight. Tell me how you feel about it and give me suggestions!
