Friends To Lovers - George Weasely

Chapter 28

Georges POV...

After a long day of meetings about the shop at the ministry, I was heading back to the burrow to spend the weekend with the rest of the others. So, after popping back to the flat above the shop to grab cloths I apparated to the burrow. When I entered the house was dead silent which confused me as its never this quiet in the Weasley house old.

I walked towards the living room, and it was still too quiet for my liking. When I entered the room, I saw everyone sitting round but no one was speaking. Ginny and Hermione we both embracing each other in a hug and Fred, Ron and harry were all sat looking down to the ground. I looked between them really confused. "Why do you all look so down?" I asked but got no response until Fred spoke up.

"George" he said with a sigh. "What?" I asked. "You need to know something" he pause "What what's going on?" I asked looking to the others to see if I could work out what was going on, but I couldn't read any of their faces. Fred then pulled a white envelope from his pocket and handed it to me. "You need to read this" he told me. I looked at the handwriting on the front and realised that it belonged to y/n.

My heart suddenly began to beat faster as I looked at the envelope encased in my hands. Had she agreed to talk to me finally? I asked myself. I looked to Fred who nodded as to say open it. taking a deep breath, I tore the envelope open a quickly pulled out the paper inside. My eyes scanned over the first lines as I read 'I'm writing this but I honestly I'm finding it so hard to put into words what I want to actually say.' As I read on my heart shattered.

I re read over the letter trying to take it in. She was leaving. When I looked around it finally clicked as to why the others all looked upset. Fred then held something else out to me, it was the necklace I had bought her. I took hold of it carefully in my hands as I looked down at it a small tear formed in my eye. She promised me she would never take it off the day I gave her it. As I clasped my hand tightly around it, my head shot up "When is she leaving?" I asked no one in particular.

Everyone stayed silent making me think she had already gone but then Ginny cleared her throat "She's leaving this afternoon" she told me. I let out a breath that I didn't even realise I was holding in. I knew what I had to do and so I instantly stood up and grabbed my wand from my bag. "What are you doing?" Fred asked as he took notice of my actions, but I didn't respond as began walking towards the door.

"George! What are you doing?" he shouted as he ran after me. I turned to look at him. "I'm going to see her" I told him. "George" he said but I cut him off. "Fred, I have to see her, I need a least tell her... I can't just let her go like this" I said as my voice began to break. I didn't want to lose her; she means so much to me. "What if she's already gone?" Fred asked. I shook my head at him "I need to at least try Freddie; I can't lose her" I said and then I walked outside and apparated on the spot.

A/N: Oh my gosh thank you all so much for 5k reads. I can't believe it. I literally only started this book for fun after I did my imagines as I loved writing so much. I honestly never expected people to read it, but I still wrote because I was enjoying it and I had lots of free time to fill up. ILY all so much so thank you once again!
