~ A/N: This is set 9 years after Fred dies :) in this, George is starting to come to peace with it. He falls in love, he becomes engaged. But still, after all this time, he still talks to Fred. He loves Fred, forever. Next chapter, I expect will be set 15 years after Fred has died. Also, I'd like to know what you think about my different writing styles. Last one was a song-fic, the one before that was free-verse.. this is kinda numb-narrorater haha. Enjoy this for now, loves.~
Why do two people fall in love? it's a mystery.
George and Angelina where in love. They liked to kiss and hug and all the things people do when they love each other. One day, George wanted to prove it.
Close your eyes, he said to her. And she did. Take my hand, he said. And she did. He led her along an old path, one that they had walked many times before.
He led her through the big oaken doors, the ones they had walked through so many times ago. The old wood was still scratched and had little holes where spells had it during the war. George ran his hand over the doors for a moment, before gently pulling Angelina through their opening. He had arranged this before-hand of course, with Headmistress McGonagall, so they would not be inturrupted by current Hogwarts students.
You can open your eyes, he whispered to her. And she did.

She gasped as she realized where she was, and she giggled as George led her to an empty Great Hall. Above the lovers, the sky/ ceiling glowed the fiery orange and pink of a sunset.
He asked her to marry him. She said yes. He slipped the diamond ring onto her third finger, left hand. He had a matching one in the same spot.

They sat on what used to be the table they used to eat off of in their innocent days, leaning on each other and watching as the ceiling slowly turned dark and starry.
George pointed out constellations to his fiancée. He tells her how he and Fred had once done this. They would sit on the roof outside their room and just be for the night. Sometimes they'd talk, sometimes they wouldn't.
George wasn't so empty any more. Angelina had filled a hole in his heart 9 years old. He would find, as his children came, they would each fill up a place in his heart that had been closed off for so long.

George still loved Fred. He loved him a whole lot. But he was moving on
And getting better
And being happier
And he laughed.
George knew that Fred was okay with Angie, and with him moving on.
George knew because he had asked him.
George had walked to the graveyard, and he had kneeled at the tombstone, and he asked permission.
Although he may not have really heard a thing, he felt the wind pick up, and he saw the clouds part a little. George smiled at his brother up in Heaven, set some flowers on his grave, and he went to pick Angelina up.
