Rose and Fred blocked two incoming spells as Percy stunned a death eater. Another one was running up on them but Rose exploded a statue that he was near which knocked him out. Then two more men appeared.
Harry, Ron and Hermione all ran out towards them from the room of requirements. One of the hooded men took off his mask, it was Thicknesse.
"Hello, Minister." Percy said as he jinxed him, " Did I mention I'm resigning?"
"You're joking, Perce." Fred said as he stunned Thicknesse then smiled at Rose, "He's actually joking. I haven't heard him tell a joke in-" The air exploded and Rose felt someone push her out the way.
She, Ron, Harry, and Hermione flew backwards and hit the ground hard.
They all grunted as they tried to recover from the blow. Rose rubbed the back of her head as she started to sit up, feeling blood trickle down from her nose. "No! No!" She heard Percy yell, "No! Fred! No!"
Rose immediatley stood up and ran through the smoke to Fred's side.
Seeing him lie on the floor dead made her soul float out of her body. Her heart shattered into a million pieces. The twisting of her stomach was beyond anything she had felt before. The pain from the blast left her body so that she was only able to feel the pain of Fred's death.
"No..." She started to sob as she fell to her knees, "No! FRED!" She cupped his lifeless face, "No! Please no! You're alright...you're alright...PLEASE!"
Nothing, no one, not a single death she's been through could beat the feeling of this one.
Everything, all these years were gone in just one blast. One blast took everything from her, and she didn't realize it until she held Fred in her arms.
"We have to move him!" Harry pulled Rose back.
He and Percy moved him away and to a corner. "ROOKWOOD!" Percy ran off with his wand.
"Rose...come on..." Ron cried, "please we can't lose you too..."
But she was already lost. There was nothing left to give her hope. To think Ron was trying to get her away felt awful.
"I can't leave him! Someone's got to stay with him!" Rose cried, "He's...he's all alone!"
Ron quickly hugged Rose tightly before all three of them ran off together.
She stayed hidden in the corner as she held Fred in her arms. She wished there was more time. More time with him and more time she could've figured everything out.
Rose wished she knew what she had before she had lost it, but she didn't. That was the truth she didn't want to understand.

"I'm sorry." Rose said as she accidentally bumped into someone.
She was pushing her cart down platform 9 3/4 with her parents at her side. This was her first year at Hogwarts and she wasn't sure how she should feel. Nerves definitely got to her more than she anticipated.
"Fred! George!" A mom yelled out.
"Don't worry about it dear." Aurora told Rose, "let's just get you on that train."
"We've got to hurry. We have 5 minutes before it leaves." John told them.
They got her luggage on board and said their goodbyes before she boarded the train. Giving one last final wave to her parents, she walked down the hall and saw three bright red haired boys.
Rose tripped on someone's bag but caught herself on one of the boys.
"Are you alright?" He asked her.
