Forbidden yet Foreseen

Death

"Don't leave me!"

"What have you done?", George repeated through clenched teeth.

Fred just stared at him, hearing Ginny moving behind him.

"What were you thinking?", George went on, pushing past Fred and entering Ginny's bedroom.

Ginny climbed off the bed, the bed-sheets pulled around her. She watched her brothers as if watching a tennis match.

Fred closed the door absentmindedly, before George turned to him again, his gaze angry.

"What do you mean what have I done?", Fred asked, shrugging. "I haven't done anything!"

"DON'T YOU LIE TO ME!", George bellowed, making Ginny jump and Fred stare in shock.

"George, you'll wake the others!", Ginny said, finally re-finding her voice.

"Shut up, Ginny!", was everything George had to tell her before he stepped towards his twin and merely punched him in the face.

Fred stumbled backwards, his back knocking into some of Ginny's bookshelves.

"George, STOP!", Ginny cried. "STOP IT!"

"What were you thinking, goddamnit, she's your SISTER!"

"What do you mean?", Fred gasped, pressing one hand against his bleeding nose.

"Come off it! You bloody well know what I mean!"

"Tell me", Fred went on before George hit him again.

Backing up, Fred tried to get out of George's reach.

"I should tell you what you have done? Goddamnit, Fred, how stupid do you think I am?", George stared at his twin.

"George, please! Leave it –", Ginny began, trying to touch her brother's arm, but George merely pushed her away.

"Bloody hell, Fred! I'm not blind! I knew it, alright? I knew it all the way!"

Fred stared at him. "What?", he blurted out, his forehead furrowing. "Why didn't you –"

"Because I never thought you would actually –", George began, panting as if he had been running. "Shag her!", he added in an angry whisper and stared back at Ginny whose eyes widened as he did so.

"You… you knew?", Ginny whispered, tears burning in her eyes.

"Yes, I knew you guys were… what you guys were doing… and I merely hope for your sake that no one else knows!", George said, looking from Ginny to Fred. Shaking his head, he walked towards Fred and hit him again – and again.

"George! Stop!", Ginny cried.

But soon the twins were caught in a fight that seemed to decide about their lives. George's fists drummed down at Fred's chest, Fred's hands tried to block the hits. Ginny stood beside them, unable to move at all. Tears were streaming down her cheeks and she merely clutched the bed-sheet. The twins continued fighting (Fred finally seemed to hit back) while the door opened with a quiet squeak.

Ginny let out a shriek that stopped the twins in the middle of their actions (George strangled Fred's throat, Fred pulled George's hair). They all turned their heads to the door to see –

"Ron?"

"What are you guys doing?", he said sleepily, rubbing his eyes. "You woke me up!"

The twins quickly let go of each other, George merely stood beside a shelf, Fred walked to the bed, sitting down while wiping the blood out of his face. Ginny wanted to help him but he just shook his head. So she stood at the end of the bed, staring at Ron.

"Ron, we're sorry!", she said, her voice nothing more than a whisper.

"What's wrong?", Ron asked, looking at Fred with his forehead furrowed. "Why does you nose bleed?"

"Because –"

"And why were you fighting?"

"They were working on a hex, something like nose bleed nougat, you know? I guess they hadn't had the same… opinion about it", Ginny said quickly, ignoring the twin's stares.

"And why are you all in Ginny's room?"

"Because –"

"Because I heard them fighting upstairs, so I went up and tried to calm them but they merely continued fighting … and followed me back into my bedroom", Ginny explained, glad that she learnt how to lie without blushing or anything.

Even though it was hard this time. She felt George's stare on her back and before she could reply anything else, she saw him leave the room. She exchanged a gaze with Fred who drowsily got to his feet and followed him, leaving a sleepy Ron and a flustered Ginny behind.

"Why don't you go to bed again, Ron?", Ginny asked, walking to him.

He just stared at her but didn't seem to protest. As soon as he had left her room, she closed the door and sank to the floor, sobbing silently.

"George, come on, let me explain", Fred said when the twins entered their bedroom.

Closing the door, George merely walked to his bed and sat down.

"You can't explain this to me, bro", George said quietly. "You just can't…"

"Let me try", Fred began, sitting down on the other bed, wiping fresh blood from his upper lip.

"No, don't", George whispered. "I don't want to hear about that! This is just… so… sick…"

Fred sighed.

"And it is wrong and it's gross and –"

"All right, I get it!", Fred said, shaking his head, and covered his face in his hands. "I know it's wrong…"

"So why did you do it?"

Fred lowered his hands, staring at the floor. "I don't know."

He heard George sigh deeply, before he saw his twin's hand passing him a handkerchief. Fred took it and threw him a short glance. He wiped the blood from his face.

"I just don't know what happened… it just… happened…"

"That is so weird", George whispered, watching his brother. "You know, I used to check on every boy Ginny went out with… I even used to tell them how to treat my sister… but now…" He shook his head. "Damn, this new boy is… my own brother… this is so weird…"

"But I guess you don't have to check on me now, have you? Well, the fight part seemed to be done nonetheless", he added and tried to grin but his cracked upper lip made this attempt almost impossible.

George glared at him. "Don't you think it's weird? To… to do these things with your own sister?"

"It was weird, at the beginning. But then… I don't know… it was … perfect. There was already enough trust and reliance and … love and affection… it was… rather easy to… fall for her, you know?"

"No I don't", George said. "And I really don't want to know…"

Fred looked up at his twin for a short time – he couldn't afford more minutes to look into his hurt brother's face. He felt miserable and he suddenly knew it was his fault. He knew that he hurt Ginny and he knew that he hurt his family – even if they didn't know about the little thing yet. But it was only a matter of time until they would find out as well. And it would be different when they all found out. It would mean even more pain, even more tears, and even more anger.

Fred couldn't imagine how his dad or his older brothers would behave. Would they maybe kick him to death? But he wasn't as afraid about his future as he was about Ginny's. He destroyed her life. He –

It felt as if he raped her after all. George's anger seemed to sink into him and he felt even more miserable. He buried his face in his hands and closed his eyes with a force as if he wanted to never have to open them again. His mind was racing. His heart drummed inside his chest. His head was spinning and he felt as if he was floating upside down. He remembered what he had done and the thought that he destroyed two lives and maybe even more burnt itself into his brains.

"Fred?", he then heard George's voice.

He lowered his hands slowly and looked up frowning.

"Hm?"

"What are you about to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"You have to do something!"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, you have to… end it", George said, locking eyes with his twin. "You'll end it or I'll tell them!"

"No!", Fred blurted out. "You won't tell them!" He stared into his brother's eyes and suddenly knew that George meant it. "Please, you can't do that…"

"I can and you know I can –"

"But I'm your brother!"

"So what? It seems as if it doesn't matter anymore who's whose brother – or sister…"

"But –"

"You'll end it! I won't cover up your little love story, you hear me? I will NOT cover it up!"

Fred lowered his gaze and stared at his hands. They were shaking slightly. He sighed. This mustn't be real. This mustn't be happening… but it did and it was too late to hush it up. George knew and he put his twin to the choice. A choice of…

He'd never thought about how it was to be discovered. He'd never thought about the possibility that he and Ginny had to break up. He'd never thought about the possibility to live without her at all. Since Christmas, he'd never thought about anything but his little sister… he didn't know what he had to do now. He just knew that they mustn't find out. They just mustn't!

With that, he jumped to his feet. George watched him with his eyebrows raised. Fred looked around the room and quickly found what he was looking for. He grabbed a backpack and shoved everything that came to his reach inside.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm doing something", Fred merely replied.

"You … are leaving?", George asked, frowning.

"Do I have a choice?"

"Yes, you have. End it and live your life - just like before –", George began.

Fred stopped in his tracks and stared at him. "You know that is impossible. It will never be the same again! I screwed it up!"

"Why don't you try?"

"I can't! I just can't! I've gone too far, you know that. I can't pretend that nothing happened!"

"What about… her?"

Fred looked up from the clothes he tried to push inside the backpack. Ginny. He couldn't leave her. His heart wouldn't allow that. But there was no other way. He had to.

"She'll understand", he then said, finishing his thoughts.

"You'll break her heart!"

"I don't want to do that, you remember? You told me to end it so I end it, I'll leave and she will be living her life as if nothing happened. You told me to do something. You are breaking her heart!"

"What? Now it's my fault that you two can't hide what you are doing?"

"Why didn't you say anything before? Why… tonight?"

"I thought it wouldn't be anything serious – until today I thought you two were just playing a bit. Well. You weren't. So I had to do something!"

"You could have stopped me…"

"I could but I thought my twin would maybe think about what he was doing before he screwed it up entirely! I thought that you were a bit brighter. But I was wrong, you are just stupid!"

"I am stupid?", Fred blurted out, staring at his twin, his hands forming fists.

"Yes, you are!", George said, standing up from the bed, ready to fight again.

"Screw you! I don't care what you are thinking! This is my life and I can do whatever I want!", Fred said, shouldering the backpack and turned to leave the room.

"You aren't going anywhere, my friend", George said and seized his twin's shoulders.

They both fell to the ground and began to strangle each other right away.

"Let go off me!"

"Let you go off me!"

"How am I supposed – to do something – when you keep me – from doing so?", Fred gasped between blocking and hitting.

"Because you are – doing the wrong thing!", George replied, getting hold of his twins fists.

"So what am I –", Fred began, rolling on his side and letting go of George. "Supposed to do, then?", he finished, getting to his feet again.

"You can't just run away like a coward!"

"Now I'm a coward, yeah?"

"Or shall I call you 'The one who shagged his sister'?", George asked, getting to his feet again.

Fred stared at him, his eyes narrowed. He then grabbed his backpack and left the room without another word. He felt George's stare on his back but he didn't care. He didn't even care to use the stairs and so he Apparated right into Ginny's room.

He found Ginny leaning against the door, the bed-sheet pulled tightly around her. She didn't look up when he called her name quietly. She seemed to be asleep. Fred kneeled down next to her, stroking her hair gently. She jumped when he touched her and jerked open her eyes to stare at him.

"Fred", she whispered, her eyes watering immediately.

"Gin, I'm so sorry", he replied, whispering.

"Don't be", she said and touched his bruised face gently. "It's not your fault!"

"Tell George", he said and winced when she touched his upper lip.

"What did he say? Have you spoken to him?"

"I tried", Fred said, lowering his head. "He… Gin, we have to end it", he added, his voice nothing more than a whisper.

Ginny stared at him. "No…", she said, tears streaming down her cheek. "Fred, no!"

"I don't want to end it, either, but George said he'll tell the others if –"

"No… isn't there another way?", she asked, pulling his face between her hands so that their noses were only inches away from each other.

"There actually is another way…", Fred said after a while, locking eyes with her.

"Tell me", Ginny whispered eagerly.

"It's… hard…", Fred said, trying to look away.

"Please tell me…", Ginny said and quickly kissed his lower lip.

Fred stared at her, a large lump in his throat. "I'm… I'm leaving…", he whispered.

"Wh-what?", Ginny stuttered. "Where to? And … why? Is this –"

"That's the only way… I just can't stay here anymore… I know if they find out they didn't want that either… I'm going away, Gin, for your sake, for… our sake! I don't want to destroy your life even more… I don't want to hurt you more than I already have…"

"You – you didn't hurt me… how do you come to say that?"

"I –", he began, biting his lip.

"Forget it, will you? I had a great time – I always have a great time when I'm with you! But you will definitely hurt me when you are leaving now! We will go through this together, do you hear me? We can do it!"

"No, we can't, Ginny", Fred said and pulled away from her, walking to the middle of the room. "It will never be the same again and I –", he stopped, rubbing his eyes, shaking his head slightly. "I can't stand to not be with you… when you are in the same room… I don't want to pretend that nothing happened… I will not forget about the way I feel about you! I just can't. But I have to when I stay here… it's the only way, Gin…"

Ginny got to her feet, walked towards him and pulled her arms around his waist. She then rested her head against his back and sobbed into his shirt.

"Please don't leave me…", she whispered.

"I have to…", Fred managed to say before he turned around and pulled her into a tight embrace. "I'm doing this for us, alright? So that we can be together again!"

Ginny looked up at him. "Promise me!"

"I'll promise!", he said and leant down to kiss her.

When they broke away again, they heard footsteps on the stairs.

"That's George, I'll have to go!", Fred said and grabbed the backpack he had left by the door.

"Don't go", Ginny said, crying mercilessly now.

"I'll see you again, I promised!", Fred said and gave her a last passionate kiss before he put a hand under her chin and locked eyes with her. "I love you…", he whispered.

With that, he Disapparated.
