Lighten my Dreams

It had been weeks of Draco and Hermione being lovey dovey for Ron to snap a little. Mostly after the new year and Christmas Ron had his fill.

"I don't get what you're doing but you need to back off mate, Mione would never like someone like you and I don't know what you're trying at with George you're mental." He shoved passed him leaving Draco to ominous thoughts of self loathing. Draco then heard a slap.

"I have never been more ashamed of one of my children Ronald...." Molly was shaking her head and pushing past a angry Ron with a hand to his cheek in shock. "Draco dear dont you listen to him you're the joy in Hermiones life, and George hasn't smiled in almost a year now, I'm so thankful to have you here." She pulled draco into a hug as Ron stomped upstairs.

"Thank you Mrs. Weasley," he hugged back and let a few tears slip.

"Oh please deary call me Molly, lets get you some tea shall we?" She led him to the kitchen and started the water.

"You have the best home I've ever been in you know, they would always make fun of it...I would always make fun of it...but its not the look that matters its how it makes you feel." Molly smiled a little and readied the tea just as George walked in looking as he had for a while now.

"George dear would you like some tea? I can make cookies if you'd like," he looked at the table for a moment before looking at draco.

"Do you miss him?"

"Everyday." George got tears in his eyes and fell to his knees. Draco quickly walked over and huged him.

"He loved you so much...he never even got to tell you...."

"I know George, I know.."

---------------------

I sat on the bed Hermione and I had been using and thought about Fred. He was the only one I felt close to before Hermione. He had kissed me once, sitting in that dark hall freaking out about how his brother would react to him being gay.

"I don't know what to do Draco I'm so nervous."

"Fred he wont be mad he loves you," he looked me in the eyes and looked like he was going to cry.

"Will you be there for me if he is mad?"

"Of corse Fred I promise." His eyes widened a bit and he pulled me closer only to plant his lips on mine. His lips were soft and salty from the crying and made my first kiss slightly romantic. Well if he hadn't pulled away and ran.

He avoided me for a while after that and it tore me apart. When he finally did talk to me again he told me he was leaving Hogwarts and didn't know if he'd see me again.

He did see me again...on the battle field, he looked so strong and so broken and when the spell was thrown I froze, I couldn't breathe or move. All I could think about was that the man I loved was about to die. I think that hit me harder then the war itself.

Him dieing and mione holding weasleys had made me feel like my world was over... I had nothing left to fight for.

"Draco?" Hermione walked into their room. "Are you alright?" He looked up at her with tears streaming down his cheeks and hugged her waist tightly. One he had calmed down he told her about Fred.

George was leaning up against the wall on the other side of the door with silent tears listing to the story that brought him relief. His brother had experienced a mutual love and now he felt at ease, like Fred was allowing him to move on.

Hermione didn't care that she had to share Dracos heart with Fred, she was just glad to know more about him. More about his struggle. 

Ron was still supporting his red cheek ranting to Harry about the loathsome weasel that has Hermione.

Harry was happy they had found eachother and couldnt wait to gossip with Ginny.

Molly was making cookies with a heavyish heart thinking about her beloved Fred whom she'd always see but never hear again.
