Falling

The night sky was peaceful as you stared up into the darkness, eyes casted over the bright twinkling stars. Moments like these, the calm ones, were the ones that gave you hope that this war you were all fighting would end soon. But it doesn't seem like that would happen tonight. George looked around his family before letting his eyes settle up on you, your head up turned to as you stood unaware of his gaze. He let himself stare for a few fleeting minutes before making his way towards you.

"You always kept your head in the stars." He says earning your attention as you chuckle. He stood next you, watching your lips turn into a soft smile before he copies your stance.

"It's a weird thing to think about how all these people, muggles, don't know there is a war going on. It makes you think a little." George smirks at your revelation and takes your hand in his, making your breath hitch and look down at the tangled fingers.

"You always were too smart for me."

"George-"

He shook his head, making you pause and sigh. He squeezes your hand before dropping them, frowning at the loss of warmth from you. "I know. I know what you're going to say. We broke up for a reason and for that reason we stay broken up. But that doesn't mean I have to like it." You nodded your head and looked up into the sky, waiting for the call to be able to enter Harry's place. George on the other hand stared at the ground, unable to focus on anything else. "Why did we break up?" He whispered as you closed your eyes, trying hard to keep yourself composed. The truth was you had no idea why you broke up. It just happened and at the time it made perfect sense, you thought you both agreed it was the best idea, but you didn't know George hated it. He loved you with everything in him and he physically felt his heart break when you ended things. He thought you were the one.

"It was for the best." You muttered and listened as George scoffed.

"You're lying. Why are you lying? What aren't you telling me?" he pressed as your heart started racing, dreading this conversation completely. You knew helping the order would mean you and George would be close but you just hoped you could get your Best Friends back. Fred and George were your best friends before you graduated and you and George split, but since then your communication had been limited and it pained you. You were about to answer him before Moody's voice interrupted you both, telling you it was time to go.

The plan was simple enough, 7 Harrys to get to the burrow days before his birthday. You volunteered to take the Polly Juice potion and become a Harry, but Moody told you they had enough. Moody told you he wanted you by his side so he could protect you. Since you became a part of the Order Moody had taken you under his wing, treating you like family since your parents had been killed in your fourth year. That was also when George and you got together. He saw you in more pain than he ever had, and he couldn't take it. So, he kissed you. He promised he would always be there to take away your pain and you made the same promise.

The transformation was complete, and you looked between all of them, knowing exactly which one of them was George based on the fact that he was the only one watching you with sad eyes.

"Alright, lets get going." Moody said as he clapped you over the shoulder, knocking you out of the staring contest you were having. You nodded and followed him out the door, making sure to grab George's hand before you left and squeezing it.

"Y/N!" he called out and you turned to him. "Be safe." You bit your lip, watching Moody grab both of your brooms before nodding towards George.
