"I don't want them anywhere near my shop when they arrive." Avella said to George. Fred was there too but she wasn't talking to him. "Alright." George replied. "Oh and I don't want them knowing that the twins are yours!"
Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron all walked into the Weasley's shop. Avella turned to look at them. "Ello Mr. and Mrs. Potter!" she said to Harry and Ginny. "Lillian was just leaving." Fred said. "Goodbye George."Avella said turning to the door. "Mum where are you going?!" Frederick asked from the stairs. "Home." Avella said. "You can stay if you like!" Ron said suddenly. "No thats quite ok . I will be off." Avella said.
Avella ended up staying for supper and such. She didn't speak much, afraid that everyone would recognize her.
She was getting ready to leave when she suddenly heard something that made her stop and turn around.
"She looks a bit like Avella!" she heard Ron say to Harry. "Please don't talk about Avella." Fred said. "We all miss her Fred." Ginny said. "Not like I do!" Fred retaliated. "Look Fred, we all loved her too. It's horrible what happened to her. But she's dead now! We were all at the funeral." Hermione said. "We were all there when they buried her." Harry said.
"It was empty! There was no body! For all we know she could still be out there in those woods rotting!" Fred shouted. Avella stood back and watched as Fred's ranting continued. "She didn't deserve that! She saved me and then she disappeared! You say you miss her and I believe you but you couldn't possibly miss her the way I do! No one can. I miss her laugh, her smile, her pranks!" Fred chuckled to himself thinking of the pranks him and Avella would pull together at Hogwarts.
"I can still hear her say "I love you" like it was only yesterday," Fred said beginning to get choked up. "when I know for a fact it wasn't! It was 18 fucking years ago!" he broke down crying. Everyone began comforting him, except for Avella. She quickly backed out of the joke shop and went back to her own shop before she broke down crying as well.
Fred stopped crying only to say, "I didn't even get to say goodbye!"
