I continued pacing around the lounge, Molly walked over and held my shaking hands. "I should be out there with him! I know Lupin will protect him but I should be there!"
"Calm down my dear. Remus will keep him safe. All of my boys will come back I promise you." She reassured. Ginny walked over and placed her hand on my shoulder.
"It'll be okay." She smiled. She was worried too. Not only were her brothers out there but so was Harry. I was worried over them all obviously but George was who I was scared for the most.
Suddenly we heard a sound outside. A port key. Harry and Hagrid finally made it. Shortly followed by another sound and a recognisable voice. "Get out of the way!" That was Lupin. Him and George had made it! Then I looked to the door, Lupin was carrying him, George was barely conscious. He laid him down on the sofa. He had a terrible wound to the left ear, well, where his ear should've been. It was gone. Blood was running down his neck, I helped Molly fetch cloths and bandages, I held onto his hand as she tried her best to heal her son. Everyone else shortly followed after this. Fred sat beside me, he took his hand as I gently ran my fingers through George's hair. "How you feeling Georgie?" He asked. George could barely open his eyes.
"Saint like." He replied on a breath.
"Come again."
"Saint like. I'm holy. I'm holey Fred. Get it." He forced a weak smile, pointing to his ear or lack thereof.
"The whole world of ear related humour and you go with I'm holy. That's pathetic." Fred smiled.
"Reckon I'm still better looking than you are." George managed another smile.
"Always will be." I smiled, he looked up at me, his eyes dropping.
"Told you I'd make it back eh." He raised his hand and placed it on my cheek. "Promise is a promise."
"Forgive me for thinking but I kinda expected all of you." I laughed.
"Eh. What's an ear between good friends?" He was getting more and more tired, his words becoming mere whispers.
"Fred, could you help me take him to bed. He needs rest." He nodded and helped me get George up to his room. We laid him down and I sat on the edge of his bed, gently stroking his hair. "You did great George." I gently kissed his forehead as he slept and stood up turning to Fred. "If anything happens let me know. I'll be on the couch." I smiled pulling a spare blanket from George's clean washing. I headed downstairs, everyone else had gone to their respective rooms, I drew the short straw tonight. I was sleeping down here anyway. I pulled the duvet up around me and fell asleep.
In the morning George came trundling down the stairs and into the lounge. He looked brighter but still woozy. The healing spells must have some kind of beneficial effect then. "Morning." I greeted, wrapping my arms around him from behind.
"Good Morning." He put the kettle on the stove and turned to face me. "Tea?" He asked pulling a cup from a cupboard above my head.
"If you're making one then yeah please." I smiled. "How you feeling?"
"Better. It's kinda hard to hear and it hurts like hell but I'll get through it." He grinned, handing me the tea.
"Still the better looking one eh." I held my cup up and we clinked cups before drinking. "I was so worried about you. I felt awful for not being there to help protect you."
"It's okay. It's just an ear. We lost Mad Eye though." He hung his head. "The thought that we couldn't turn back, couldn't help each other was the worst. Kinda like how you felt being here I guess."
"Yeh. Anyway. On a lighter note, you are all here for Bill and Fleur's wedding." I smiled.
"Yeah." He thought for a moment, "how am I going to pull off wearing this massive bandage to a wedding?" He laughed.
"George Weasley you could wear anything and still look amazing and you know it." He just smiled, leaning down and kissing me quickly.
"Ah. Now I see why you're up so early Georgie!" A familiar voice spoke from the doorway, we broke apart but I kept an arm around him. "Even after losing an ear he's still got it." He laughed.
"Fred?" I questioned.
"Yup." He smiled, rocking back and forth on his heals.
"Get out." I laughed. "Kinda having a moment here."
"Be thankful it's me and not mum." He smirked as he headed back upstairs.A few days later was the wedding. Something we'd all been looking forward to.
I went into Ginny's room to get ready, I'd decided on a rather modest dress, nothing too fancy, not like what I wore to the Yule ball a few years back. We all got ready and I met George downstairs. "Hello handsome." I tapped him on the shoulder from behind. He turned round to face me and was just silent. "George? You still in there?" I tapped gently on his head.
"Yeh. Sorry. Just uh, got caught up in the moment. You look amazing!" He grinned pulling me into a hug.
"As do You. Rocking the bandage as I knew you would." I laughed. "Told ya. You my dear Weasley could make anything look sexy." I smirked, straightening his tie.
"You don't think any less of me do you, I mean it didn't look great when I changed the bandages."
"George. How often do I look at you from the side? I really don't care what your ears look like, or how many you have. I love George Weasley the annoying prankster that wouldn't leave me alone at school until I agreed to go to hogsmede with him. I love my George. Got that! Now get those stupid thoughts out of your head or I'll tell your mother your talking bad about yourself. You got that Weasley?" I smiled, gently cradling the left side of his face. He leant down resting his forehead on mine, allowing his arm to wrap around my waist.
"Looks like we know who's next!" I heard Bill laugh from the doorway. "Make sure that when you get married there isn't a war going on eh." He smiled before walking out.
"I think he's right you know." I smiled. "We could be next. I mean, if you'd want to." I shrugged.
"Yeh. I would. I mean, I do."
"Really?" I stepped back, shocked at what we'd both said.
"Yeh. I mean we've been together for years now, just a matter of time isn't it."
"Yeah." I paused, "did we just unofficially get engaged? We both asked each other and we both agreed so."
"Yeh we did, but let's not tell the others till at least tomorrow, it's Bill and Fleur's day after all." He smiled, kissing me gently.
"Well well young Mr Weasley, you truly surprised me today."
