The Weasley Child

Chapter 7

I open the door to to see George sitting on his bed. "Oh, George. Hi." I say jumping slightly. I shouldn't be surprised, it is half his room after all.

"Oh, hello Kerri." George says moving over to make room for me next to him. I sit down and he lets out a sigh. "So Ginny told me you had fun last night." He says with a little chuckle.

"So you heard?"

"Every last detail." He says as my face turns red with embarassment. What must he think of me? His twin brother, and my boyfriend, died only two weeks ago and then I'm out clubbing and getting drunk while dancing with random men. What a girl I am. "You know, drinking when you're pregnant isn't a good idea." he says leaning back and folding his arms under his head.

My heart quickens as I try my best to act normal. "Pregnant? What are you talking about?"

"Kerri, did you really think Fred wasn't going to tell me? I'm his twin." George says looking at me.

"I didn't know what he'd do." I say quietly putting my head in my hands."I didn't think before I began drinking either. I shouldn't have done that."

"No, you shouldn't have." George says honestly. "Just don't do it again."He says putting his hand on my shoulder as the tears begin to role down my cheeks.

"This babys all that we have left of him." I cry into my hands.

"That's not true." George says wrapping his arms around me. "That doesn't mean that you can stop taking care of yourself though. You have to do it for the baby."

"I'm scared. I can't do it alone." I say inbetween sobs.

"That's understandable." George says wiping the tears from my face. "But you're not alone. You have all of us."

"I've only told Ginny, and I just don't know how to tell anyone else. I don't want to do this without Fred."

"Well now Ginny and I can help you. I promised Fred i would." He says quietly pulling me closer to him.

My head immediatly snapped up and my eyes suddenly ran out of tears. "You promised-what?"

"Like I told you, i'm Fred's twin, obviously he was going to tell me. As soon as we got to Hogwarts he pulled me aside and told me you were, expecting-"He says nodding towards my stomach. "He then made me promise that if anything were to happen to him, that I would help you and be there for you. I promised him that." He explains to me with tears glistening in his own eyes.

"George, no please don't cry." I say crawling over onto the bed so that i'm closer to him again. "Please don't." I say giving him a hug just like he had done for me.

He looks up at me with a look of rage on his face, it's a look not common on any of the Weasley's faces, especially not George's. "It shouldn't have bloody happened! He shouldn't have died!" George yells picking up the nearest thing in reach, a pillow, and throwing it across the room. The pillow flys across the room knocking against Fred's nightstand. I already know what's going to happen before it actually does. I jump off the bed as the pillow hits the picture frame sitting on the stand. I try and catch it as it falls, but it lands on the floor and the glass breaks on the impact.

My body begins shaking as I begin sobbing, it's as if I can't control myself anymore. I reach into the broken glass not even feeling the shards cutting into my skin. I pick up the picture that lies under the debris and hold it in my hands shaking.

"Kerri, ohmygod. I am so-" George starts to say running over to me.

"George you bloody git!" A voice yells behind us. I don't even turn around to see who it is.
