Percy came across the corridor and as he spotted them he walked towards them with such a different aura than they were used to from him. It was the way he carried himslef, he walked aimlessly and with this broken and angry look on his distant face.
"Hey...uhhm....W-We are moving Fred's body to the Burrow. Mum wants you guys at the great hall in five minutes"
"We are coming" Ron said his voice broken and his eyes bloodshot red.
Percy gave them a slight nod and left.
Ginny came from around the corner bearing a lost look on her face, she watched Percy making his way outside of the castle.
"He's changed a lot" Ginny spoke out softly almost whispering.
"Yeah he has become even more distant that he was before. And for us to think working in the ministry was a nightmare. It is nothing compared to this" Ron responded.
"I will go wash my face" Ron said as he felt the blood on his face drying.
"I will come with you i need wash up too" Hermione said.
Hermione held Ron's hand as they headed upstairs to clean their faces from all the dirt and blood that was on it.
After that they went down to the great hall and found Fred's body lying in a dark blue blanket still on the floor George sitting beside him crying his eyes out as Mrs.Weasley had her hand on George's shoulder.
"Is everyone ready to go ?" Mrs.Weasley asked in a hollow and broken voive that didn't belong to her.
"Yes" they all answered gloomily.
"George do you need any help ? " Mr.Weasley asked.
"No" George said shakily but everyone knew that behind that shaky voice was confidence and determination to hold on to his brother's body.
George leaned towards his twin as he carried him carefully and walked towards the exit of the castle.
They all disaperated in pairs
Fred and George,
Mr. and Mrs.Weasley,
Harry and Ginny,
Ron and Hermione,
Fluer and Bill,
Percy and CharlieWhen all of them reached the burrow Fred was on the couch lying the blanket covering him from head to toe and George was in the back garden digging a grave to burry Fred in a few miles away from the back garden of the Burrow. Everyone noticed George's tears flooding his eyes as he was digging.
They all tried helping him but he would only shout "NO" in return, it was as depressing as it was psychotic.
So they could do nothing but watch George and cry, over both twins one whom they had lost body and soul, and another whom they had lost soul. And it was heart wrenching.
Once George was done digging the grave (which had taken him 5 hours ) all by himself he went inside grabbed a water bottle and drank it all in one shot, and moved on to the next.
The coffin was ready Mrs.Weasley bought it while George was digging the hole.
George spotted the coffin and he went to Fred whom was clearly showered and dressed in new and clean clothes. He carried his brother into the coffin tears dripping onto the floor. All the people present in the Burrow were in tears. George put Fred in his coffin slowly and then he closed its lid after kissing Fred's cheek. Then all the Weasley men and Harry carried Fred's coffin to the grave and slowly placed him underground and George bent down and covered his coffin with the sand and soil he kept pushing towards the parts of the coffin that were visible until the coffin was out of sight and under the ground.
Ginny went inside the burrow and in the front garden and grabbed a white flower and went outside again to the back garden bent down and placed the flower at the middle of the grave. And he straightened up and stood behind Hermione while his chin rested on the top of Hermione's head. While Hermione's head was leaning against Ron's chest and they were both crying. As were the rest of the Weasleys.
