After (A Fred, George, and Reader story)

Leaving

Your pov

You had warned Molly that you were leaving tomorrow, and before you could hunt down Rookwood, you'd have to tell your parents. It wouldn't be easy convincing them after such an experience with the battle of Hogwarts. But you knew they'd let you when you turned up at home alone. You packed up your bag and went downstairs to tell everyone goodbye.

It was 10:30, night had set and Molly was in the kitchen. You heard her choking on sobs and you wondered from what. You were about to go comfort her when the door opened, revealing George. You smiled softly at him and him back at you. For some reason he had come in smiling. He rubbed the back of his neck and looked away from you. You gave him a look and he winked, heading upstairs. Now was as good a time as any to tell him. "Wait, George!" He looked down at you, already three steps up. "I'm leaving." You said holding up your bag for him to see.

His smile faded. "What?"

"I told you this morning." You reminded him.

"Oh yeah..." He looked you over. "Anything else?"

You were surprised at his behavior. But it quickly faded. "Yeah. I'm going to murder Rookwood." You said before continuing to the kitchen to thank Molly. George was shocked on the stairs, so shocked, he didn't follow you or say anything. Nor did he go up the stairs. He just stood there watching you. Once you said goodbye to Molly and your hand was on the doorknob George was behind you.

You sighed and turned around. "What George?" You asked him.

"I'm coming with you." He said simply.

"No." You answered him and turned back to the door, but he put a hand on your shoulder and turned you back towards him forcefully pinning you to the door.

"If you're killing the man who killed my brother, I want him to see me as well."

"I have to go home first."

"And I'll come with you." He said, you were unsure what to think about this. Surely you couldn't have a new boyfriend after Fred. And George was the only one who made you feel as though you had someone there.

"Okay." You whispered and you were off. Once you were out of the door you saw your car. Oh well, you thought. It had been crushed by a fallen tree yesterday. You waved your wand to clean it up and make it disappear. Then you put your hand out for George and apparated home.
