I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted
You and Fred have been together since second year at Hogwarts (you both were in the same year), you were now starting your fifth year at the Wizarding school, and you were invited to join the Weasley clan at Diagon Alley to shop for the upcoming school year. While you were walking hand in hand with Fred, and George on the other side of him, you had gone off to buy supplies that the older students would need, while Molly went with Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Harry to shop for their own supplies. While walking to wherever the twins were leading you, you walked by a restaurant that had served Butterbeer, which was where Fred had taken you for your first date.
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?
You and Fred had your first major fight, usually you would have small arguments because he pulled a prank on you while you were trying to get homework done, or he was out too late with George, but you two always forgave each other. This argument was just yesterday when you had turned the corner to get to potions class when you saw Fred being held against the wall by none other than Katie Bell, she was kissing his neck and he seemed to be enjoying it. You gasped which caused them both to snap out of it, but before Fred could explain anything, you were gone.
I remember the makeup running down your face.
Fred was in his dorm all day, flashbacks of the previous day coming to his mind, why would he let Katie take control of him like that? Surely they were just teammates and that was all. What hurt the most was the look on your face when you caught them, your mascara starting to smear leaving marks going down your cheeks, you rubbing your eye causing your eyeshadow and mascara to smudge even more.
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia, and forget about the stupid little things.
Fred was distraught, and no one, not even his trusty sidekick and best friend George could help him. You were his everything, and he knew he loved you, but he didn't realize how much of an impact you had on him until you were ignoring him, and wouldn't come out of your dorm for two days. He wished he could forget about the pain on your face, and he wished he could go back in time and undo the stupid mistake he made, and remove the pain from your heart.
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you.
Fred had moved from the dorm to the common room, mainly sitting by the fire to get warm. To really calm his mind down from overthinking that you two would be over, after nearly three years. Hermione had come down after hearing loud footsteps, but she was relieved to see Fred sitting down there. As she was a mutual friend to the both of you, almost like a sister to each of you. She walked up to him and smacked him on the back of the head, clearly out of anger at what he had done to you. When he was about to start crying again, she grabbed his hand and yanked him up from his spot on the floor and quietly dragging him up to the girls dorms, more specifically to the one you, Ginny and Hermione shared. She didn't say a word, as she quietly got back into her bed and he knew exactly what to do from there; to get into bed with you, and cradle your shaking figure. Just like he has before.
If all of this was just a twisted dream, I'd hold you closer than I ever did before.
The battle of Hogwarts was in full swing. Death eaters there, Hogwarts alumni there. Percy had come back to join the rest of the family to fight against the frightful Voldemort and his followers. Things between you and Fred were rekindled after that night he had cradled you in your sleep. You two have been the strongest you have ever been- he even popped the question just a few weeks ago, in your shared apartment above the store he opened with George; Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
Fred tried his hardest to convince you to not fight in this battle, as he wanted you safe, but what Gryffindor would you be if you weren't brave and didn't fight? You were in the courtyard, with Ginny and Lavender, defeating a few death eaters, when Ginny guided you out of the way from a troll that was about to crush you.
You made it into the great hall and were relieved when you found the clan of red heads that you grew extremely close to, to see them crying and not their usual jolly selves. They were standing above someone- the someone who you just so happened to be head over heels in love with. Molly turned and hugged you tightly. You couldn't believe it. It was just a silly joke that he was pulling. You dropped to your knees, stroking Fred's hair out of his forehead, there was no pulse.
"Please let this be a bad dream." You cried, as you clutched onto his torso, this couldn't be real. No.Fred's weeping twin dropped down beside you, bringing you to his chest which you cried hard into. He held onto your shoulders, rubbing your arm in a soothing manner, just like how Fred would when you had panic attacks because there was thunder and lightning outside. If only you could go back and hug Fred one last time, told him you loved him one last time, if you knew this would be the result.
And the memories I never can escape
You had helped George move back into the burrow, as you two were roommates even before Fred's death. You two had decided to move back to the family home to help everyone else be together as a whole. Bill and Fleur has done so as well, and so has Percy. The Weasleys were stronger when together, even though there was one missing, the house wasn't as joyful, in fact it was dull.
Molly begged you to sleep in Fred and George's old room, the room they had grown up in together when they were home for the holidays or in between school years. You felt like you couldn't, not just because George would be in there, but because of the memories with Fred. Nonetheless you decided you would, you laid awake on the bed that you and Fred had once shared, now only you. You stared at the sky, and one star was shining brighter than all the others, Fred.
You got up on your knees, careful to not wake George up, as you got as close to the window as possible. You kissed your fingers before placing them against the glass right above where the star was.
You turned around and looked at the room, as memories flooded back; to when you and Fred first spent the night, when you and George decided to pull a prank against Fred, when the three of you stayed up late coming up with plans for the shop and what products you would design.
Tell me this is just a dream, cause I'm really not fine at all.
You weren't fine. You hadn't been fine in a while now. You were hurting, as was everyone else. You wished that all of this was some demented nightmare that had felt too real. You wanted to escape this reality and be with your beloved Fred.
However you had a little boy who would be without both of his parents. Yes, you were pregnant at the time of the battle of Hogwarts, you just didn't know it. With time, you and George moved back above the shop, he had fallen in love with Angelina and she lived with you too. When you were farther along with your pregnancy, the pair decided you should move back to the burrow, to be with Molly and Arthur who were still hurting bad from the loss of their son.
When you had told them the news of your newly found pregnancy, they were thrilled that Fred would live on in this new life. The day came when you had the beautiful baby- who was an exact image of Fred, everyone was there. Hermione and Ginny were in the room with you as well as Molly.
After the baby was cleaned, everyone else crowded inside the room at St. Mungo's, where Hermione worked as a healer. George broke down on the spot, seeing his nephew and his godchild. He was the first one other than you and Hermione to hold the small child, which you decided to name Fred Jr.
Two years later, the child was exactly like Fred, he was a jokester and a prankster, but he was a sweetheart just like the man you fell in love with. As much as you would've loved to have a family with Fred present, this baby truly was a gift, and he helped you cope with the loss.
A/N: I got this idea a while ago, and it was a lot longer than I had thought. Sorry the lyrics were also kind of everywhere, I've never written a song preference before. Anyways, the song is Amnesia by 5sos, I love that band so much!
