Molly Weasley dabbed at her eyes with a tissue, the crowd that had gathered for Fred's funeral coming around to say their condolences. When the crowd dwindled enough, she made her way over to Kagome, bringing her into a bone-crushing hug.
"I'm so sorry for you loss." Kagome mumbled, hugging her back just as tightly.
Molly pulled back, holding her shoulders still, "and I'm sorry for yours. We aren't the only ones that lost him that night."
Kagome nodded a few times, the stinging of tears filling in behind her eyes. Shooting herself forward, she fell onto Molly's shoulder, both women holding each other in their grief.
"I do hope that you'll still come around, this doesn't mean you're out of the family, dear." Molly mumbled, pulling back and brushing Kagome's dark hair from her eyes.
"I'll try to make it for Christmas." Kagome offered weakly.
Molly smiled and kissed her forehead, giving her a final hug before walking over to where Arthur waited.
Turning, Kagome began walking, pausing when a hand touched her shoulder gently from behind.
"Thank you for coming." George said, giving her a quick hug.
Kagome nodded, "I couldn't forgive myself if I had missed it."
The two stared at each other, Kagome feeling guilty over seeing Fred when she looked at George. While the three were in school together, she prided herself on being able to see them differently, as individuals, now she was blinded by seeing only Fred.
"I've got to get going." Kagome mumbled.
"Wait please, would you like to meet up at the Leaky Cauldron sometime? It's been pretty quiet around the shop." George sighed.
Kagome gave him a faint smile, nodding, "we could do that."
