Over the years you and George had been together there had always been one constant - the peace you were always able to find in his arms. Throughout the years, you had come to realize that whatever trials and tribulations you would face, you would still be able to be in your lover's arms and perhaps that everything would be alright. Your faith in the solace in the peace you would always have in George's arms only grew throughout the years. First, in your final year of Hogwarts, you were both faced with hurdles in your relationship between George yearning to protect you from Umbridge targeting you because of your connection to his family and him leaving school months before you did to graduate alongside Fred to start the joke shop. Those months on end in your own bed felt cold and hollow without your boyfriend's arms around you. It was a peculiar thing for you to feel out of place sleeping in your own bed when you had spent so many nights sneaking into the boy's dorm to fall asleep in George's arms. No one had ever commented on the fact you and George couldn't stay the night apart from one another - not even Fred who had frequently teased George for being so whipped with his girlfriend. Your boyfriend's twin's playful remarks didn't stop over the years. He certainly hadn't held back his quips the day you got off the Hogwarts Express and practically flung yourself into George's arms as you embraced him, already feeling at home again in his arms. Your smile hadn't faltered when Fred joked that perhaps now he would be able to stop hearing George moan on and on about how much he misses you. You weren't fooled, of course, because the smile on Fred's face told you that even he was glad that you and George were together again.

Soon after the moments of post-Hogwarts bliss between the sweet satisfaction of independence and the fruition of young love, you found the trials and tribulations that were left on your front doorstep - the war. Between your time being split working in the Order and Weasley Wizard Wheezes, George's arms around you at night in your shared bed were the only blissful moments you had most days. First came the death eaters roaming the streets outside where you lived. Then came the hiding in a safe house from the Order when Voldemort was in power and after George. Sometime between the looming war and the brink of devastation wedding bands were placed on both your and George's left ring fingers when you swore to love each other for the rest of your days. It was what the Muggles would call an elopement but with the dreaded war and the desire for both of you to be each other's for whatever

You and George ended up having forever or what forever feels like that is when the war had occurred. You both had, after all, survived - not that you were unscathed. The loss of Fred had touched everyone, but no one more so than your husband. They had always been inseparable from the moment they came into the world and had a miraculous way of balancing each other out. Without Fred's lively spirit and brash nature that had caused more than a few issues over the years, George had trouble finding his place in the room as he was always looking for someone who wasn't there. You missed him too. Fred had been - well - a friend to you more than you ever expected. The loss of your brother-in-law made your heartache not only for George but for yourself as well. You didn't see how you would ever fail to forget Fred and not wish for his presence anymore. No one else could joke about how you and George acted like an old married couple far before you were anywhere close to marriage. No one else could quite fill the hole left in everyone's heart by his death.

The ending of the war didn't cure this ache in George's heart despite the fact that all was supposed to be well in the world again. After all, the war was done and good had triumphed over evil, but the loss of Fred made it feel like people like you and George who were plague with the cruel loss at the hands of death were stuck on the ground, unmoving and being sucked down into place as if you were standing in quicksand. The pain didn't lessen in truth, but you had found that in going throughout your new lives that you never asked for simply by the day was the answer to this heartbreak.
