This chapter is written from George's POV. It's a songfic, and my first ever, so hope you like it. I put a lot of thought into it :) It's to one of my favourite ever songs, My Immortal by Evanescence. Maybe I'll do some more in this story, who knows? Anyway, enjoy :)

The moon shone brightly in the sky. Its light tumbled softly through the window. In a gentle flow it slid through the room to climb creep over a young man sitting on his bed. The boy held something in his hand.

George studied the photo in the ornate gold framing. It was of him and Fred, of course, just after business at their joke shop had begun picking up. The two were dressed in green dragonskin, and were grinning in the store, their arms around eachother.

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears

George's shoulders shook as memories washed over him. He and Fred...they were inseparable. They were supposed to be together forever.

And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Coz your presence lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

"Why Fred? Why did you go?" The words whispered through the silence. George gulped and shuddered, as his tears finally overcame his control.

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

George began to rock back and forth on his bed. Still, memories assaulted him, leaving him gasping for breath as he drowned. Giving Harry the Marauder's Map in their fifth year. The Ton Tongue Toffee incident in sixth year. Letting fireworks loose in Hogwarts during Umbridge's reign. That had been one of his personal favourites, but now it shattered his heart even further every time he thought of it.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you screamed I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years

And Fred. Fred was there in every memory.

But you still have
All of me

Sometimes, George thought he would be okay. There were times when he would be laughing, and feel absolutely fine.

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

And then George would find himself looking for Fred, and then remember that he was gone. And suddenly everything was dark again.

Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

Every time George saw his reflection he wanted to punch the mirror. Sometimes he found himself wondering, if he threw himself off his broom from really high up, would the impact hurt more than what he was feeling?

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Yesterday, while aimlessly rummaging through their room, he'd come across one of their trick wands. When it had turned into a large rat, George had laughed until he'd cried. Then he found that he couldn't stop.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you screamed I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

George tried to put the frame down, but he found himself transfixed by the image and the glorious life of the now-gone boy there. He couldn't look away from him. Fred Weasley. Partner in crime, other half...twin brother.

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

A great anguish rose up in him, and before he knew what he was doing, the frame was on the floor, the glass smashed, slivers scattered everywhere. Like his heart.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you screamed I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years

There were running footsteps. George heard voices saying his name, but they sounded too far away to help him. He was alone.

But you still have

Alone.

All of me.

To Fred Weasley, and all others who fell during both First and Second Wizarding Wars and everything in between. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
