Fred's POV
For 11 years of Fred's life, Fred slept with a teddy bear, Fred Jr. was his name.
But the moment Fred went off to Hogwarts, he declared he was too big to sleep with stuffed animals and threw Fred Jr. under his bed at the burrow, leaving him to collect dust for 9 years.
But, the day after Fred got out of St. Mungo's after being 1 inch from death, he went back to the burrow to revisit where he lived as a child, trying to find as many happy memories as possible to overshadow the traumatic ones from the Second Wizarding War.
That's when he found Fred Jr., the bear who gave him comfort for half of his life. He took Fred Jr. along with other things from his room and brought it back to their apartment above Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, just for the reason that he needed a few happy memories with him at all times.
They had gotten back to their apartment late that night, so Fred didn't bother unpacking the box of memories, rather leaving them on the floor next to his bed.
That night though, his thoughts were dark and sleep just wouldn't come to him, no matter how many times he tried to shut his eyes as tight as he possibly could. And after it hit around 2 in the morning, 3 hours of tossing and turning, he looked at the box next to him. The moonlight lit the box of memories, showing Fred Jr.'s beaded eyes.
Fred reached over, grabbed the stuffed animal and squeezed him between his arms, hoping that with the bear that gave him comfort all through his childhood would give him comfort once more, 9 years later. His hopes came true and within 5 minutes, Fred was out like a light.
After a month of sleeping with Fred Jr. in secret, Fred had overslept on a work day, causing George to finally catch him.
"Sleeping with a teddy bear? How childish is that?" George laughed making Fred jolt awake from his sleep, clutching onto Fred Jr. tightly. "What?" Fred asked sleepily and rubbed his eyes before letting out a loud yawn.
"Oh my godric, is that Fred Jr.!?" George exclaimed, now getting a closer look. "Uh, yeah? What about him?" Fred asked defensively, sitting up against the headboard.
"You haven't slept with him since you were 11, why now?" George questioned and crossed his arms. "Almost dying messes up your sleep schedule, so I'm sleeping with Fred Jr. to help me sleep at a normal time, alright?" Fred explained with a harsh tone.
George put his hands up in defense and sat on the bed next to Fred, taking Fred Jr. from Fred's hands. "Hey buddy, I haven't seen you since your father threw you under the bed," George mused, earning himself a smack on the side of the head from Fred, "Alright I think that's enough," Fred growled and snatched Fred Jr. back, "Now let us go back to sleep!".
