The Break Up

Fred and George were on their way to the Gryffindor common room, their laughter echoing through the empty corridors of Hogwarts. But as they rounded a corner, their jovial demeanor faltered as they caught sight of Phoebe, huddled on the staircase, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs.

Their hearts clenched with concern as they rushed to her side, their footsteps echoing against the cold stone floor. Phoebe looked up at them, her eyes red-rimmed and swollen, tears streaking down her cheeks like rivers of sorrow.

"Phoebe, what happened?" Fred asked, his voice laced with worry as he knelt beside her, gently brushing a stray lock of hair from her face.

Phoebe's voice trembled as she struggled to find the words to convey the pain that consumed her. "I... I broke up with Draco," she whispered, her voice barely audible above the din of her racing heart.

George's eyes widened in shock, his features contorting with rage at the mere mention of Draco's name. "Did he... did he hurt you?" he asked, his voice barely concealing the fury that simmered beneath the surface.

Phoebe nodded, her breath catching in her throat as she lifted her sleeves, revealing the bruises that marred her pale skin like a cruel tapestry of pain. Fred's heart clenched at the sight, his fists balling at his sides as he struggled to contain the rage that burned within him.

"We're here for you, Phoebe," Fred said, his voice firm with determination. "You don't have to face this alone."

With gentle hands, Fred and George helped Phoebe to her feet, offering her their unwavering support as they guided her towards the Gryffindor common room. The journey was silent, save for the sound of their footsteps echoing through the empty halls, a solemn testament to the bond that united them.

As they reached the safety of the common room, Phoebe felt a flicker of hope ignite within her, fueled by the unwavering support of her friends. With Fred and George by her side, she knew she could face whatever challenges lay ahead, drawing strength from the bonds of friendship that bound them together.

And amidst the shadows of her pain, a glimmer of light emerged, like a beacon of hope guiding her towards a future free from fear and despair.
