George Weasley // Stuck with me

12. Freddie?

"And that should be the last one, remember if you need help sleeping or stuff like this comes back don't be afraid to stop in.  You wouldn't believe the amount of students that come in here for that kind of thing.  Oh! Also, I've asked McGonagall if she could possibly find a counselor or a therapist for the school.  We all know Hogwarts has been in need of one for ages and I think it's high time that happens.  If you're interested let me know deary.  That goes for you too Weasley!  I'll leave a note for Pomfrey that you were here.  There's some fizzing whizbees near the door if you would like some."

The nurse, a transfer from St. Mungos, walked away towards a small office added on for any work study nursing students.  McKenna hopped off the bed and grabbed George's hand.  Together they walked out the door each grabbing a handful of candy on the way out.  The silence was comfortable again, as it usually is, when they were interuppted by a loud shout down the hallway behind them.

"GEORGE!"

Startled the couple turned around and saw Ron out of breath.

"What is it Ron?  What's going on?"

George questioned.

"Its Fred!  George they say he woke up!"

George immediately stiffened.  The information not clicking until a moment later.  When it did however, George looked back at McKenna.

"Go."

She whispered letting go of George's hand that she was holding.  What surprised her though was when he grabbed it again.

"No I want you to come with me."

She smiled.  They were going to see Freddie again.  Oh how she missed her boys being there.  Both of them.  

"Well, are you coming?"

Ron was impatient.  Now that he had caught his breath he seemed rather annoyed that they were taking as long as they were to process the information.  It took only a second though as the couple started sprinting down the hall towards him.  With a smirk Ron turned around and started running when they caught up.  Everyone was excited, as well as nervous.  Fred was awake and they didn't know what is was going to be like.  Would he remember them?  Is he going to be the same Fred they all knew before?  How awake is he really?  The questions never left their minds but it was what they all were thinking.  Everyone was too afraid to say them though.  Speak the fears they harbor inside incase they are true.  They all ran straight to McGonagall's office as her fireplace was one of the few actually attached to the floo network.

Waiting at the fireplace was Harry, Ginny and Hermione.  Obviously excited but also very nervous.  One by one they grabbed some powder from McGonagall and one by one they arrived at St.Mungos.  McKenna was the last to arrive through and was surprised that they had waited for her although it looked only for her to show up because as soon as she was through the group immediately started walking.  The three Weasley's already knowing where to go as they had visited many times before.  Harry, Hermione and McKenna sped up to catch up to their respective partners.  Winding through the hospital halls they finally caught up with the siblings.  They stood in front of a room door.  The nametag on the door said F. WEASLEY in bold letters.  

The tension in the air was thick.  They were scared that they would walk in there and Fred would be like he always was, asleep, frail, and devoid of life.  McKenna shuffled forward, grabbing George's hand she lifted their intertwined fingers and kissed the back of his hand.  

"Go on love, I'm sure he's excited to see you.  Open the door and go say hi to Freddie."

George was shaking.  With small apprehensive steps George walked forward.  McKenna let their hands fall apart as his fell onto the doorknob.  She stepped back again as he slowly pushed the door open.
