+++time skip 20 weeks+++

I feel like George is falling into a hole. Every time I see him he has red slashes on his wrists. I know he is cutting. Everyone else doesn't though. I haven't told anyone yet what I saw because I know how I didn't want anyone to fuss over me.
"Earth to Harry!" Ginny said pushing my thoughts away.
"Ermm sorry" I said quickly. We were at the Burrow with James.
"Da" James called out from on the ground.
"Yes sweet boy?" I asked him smiling.
"Na" he said pointing upstairs.
"You want a nap?" I said smiling.
"Ya" he said back. He has started talking a bit. I picked him up and he cuddled close.
"Love u da" he muttered as he closed his eyes. I immediately smiled.
"Isn't he precious!" Molly said wiping a tear from her eye.
"I'll go put him down" I said and as I climbed the stairs I heard George in his room that is next to my Ginny's were we've been staying. I put James in his cot and knocked on George's door.
"Go away" he said.
"It's Harry" I said back.
"So" he said. I could hear distance slashing. I slowly opened the door to see blood all over the floor and a knife in his hand.
"George-" I started.
"Harry don't tell the others!" he said cleaning his arm and hiding the knife.
"I thought something was going on!" I said with my eyes wide still. I heard Ron mutter something downstairs and then footsteps came into the room.
"Hey Har-" he started.
"MOM DAD GEORGE HAS BEEN CUTTING!" he yelled. Immediately the room was full of Weasleys.
"Harry!" Ginny said shaking me. I didn't answer.
"Harry!" she said again. Then I fainted.

(Ginny's POV)

"MOM DAD GEORGE HAS BEEN CUTTING!" Ron yelled from upstairs. I ran into the room with my family hot on my heels. Harry looked so pale and George looked angry. Harry then fainted.
"Mom Harry fainted" I said causally.
"It probably is because of the fact that he has cut before and it effects him even more than us" she said looking at me.
"George!" dad yelled as George took the knife and stabbed his chest. It started gushing blood.
"Percy you get the joke shop, mom and dad I'm doing this because life without Fred is horrible. Love you all and...." George said but he slumped over and died. George was dead. Harry the woke up and looked around.
"What did I-" he started but then covered his mouth.
"This is all my fault!" he said.
"Harry how did you get that!" Mom yelled in anger and sadness that her son just died.
"I thought I saw marks on his wrists for about 2 weeks but I didn't say anything!" he said on the verge of tears.
"Harry-" I started but he got up and started walking outside.
"Harry where are you going!" I yelled after him.
"Wherever I can get wasted!" he yelled back and disapperated.
"Did he really just say that!" Charlie yelled looking where he vanished.
"Yep" I said with tears in my eyes.
"Hey Charlie let's go after the little shit." Bill said pushing Charlie forward.
"Where too?" Charlie asked.
"Wiz-Ard" he said with a smirk.

(Harry's POV)

When I saw George dead I knew I had to get away. I thought of the only place I knew would welcome. The Wiz-Ard! I thought.
"Hello Mr.-" the guard said.
"Shut it!" I said walking through the ropes into the club.
"Yes of course!" he said pleased to be yelled at by me. I walked over to the first smoker I saw.
"Can I have a pack?" I asked pointing toward his mountain of cigarette packs.
"Why should I give them to you.... Holy shit your Harry Potter! Here!" he said shoving a pack into my hand. I lighted one and walked over to the bar.
"I have something major that I need to drink off so give me a large of the strongest thing you've got." I said to the bar tender.
"Yes here!" he said shoving a glass into my hand.
"How much" I said.
"2 Galleons" he said. I placed 3 on the table.
"The extra one is your tip" I said as I walked away. I sat myself down at the table and took a drink of whatever I got. It tasted horrible. I'm still going to drink it. That last thought was the last thing I could really remember.
