[ accidental video ]

[An absolute silence hangs between the twins as they stare at a picture frame hanging on the wall. Some might recognize the photo within it, others still might recognize the Hall it's posted in. And even if they don't, Fred and George can hardly spare a moment to care, because that silence has a rather tight grasp on them, forcing them to recognize them both for what it is.

Ronald Weasley has left the City.

Fred looks over to George, a look of discontent (and perhaps even anger) clear on his face, before looking back over to the frame.]


So that's it, then? Gone without so much as a sound, just a photograph in some dreadful hallway?

You tell me. You've the one who's been here longer.

[George runs a hand over his face. Without even thinking about it, his hand reaches out and grips firmly onto Fred's shoulder.]

He'd barely even got here.

[Fred visibly tenses at the hand on his shoulder, much as it should be a comfort, and he looks up to the ceiling for a moment before shaking his head.]

Unbelievable tosspot.

[His voice does not sound strained there, thank you very much, and there is nothing even close to a deep, shaky exhale to follow before he shrugs George's hand from his shoulder and turns to leave.]

We ought to go muck up his room. Test out those new fireworks.

[George crosses his arms and fixes Fred with a hard stare.]

Don't be a prat, Fred. That's the last thing everyone needs right now.

The last thing everyone needs right now--!

[In the process of shouting, and Fred only stops to notice the device is recording them. A low string of swear words can be heard as he walks up to it and his hand covers the feed for the briefest of moments before everything starts spinning and the feed ends with a crash!]

[George doesn't say anything when Fred starts tossing his device around. He knows Fred has to get it out of his system, and it's better to do in to an object than a person.]

You'd of thought we'd learned out lesson by now.

[His arms are still crossed, and he smiles at Fred, slightly. Everything about the way he's standing seems to be helping holding himself together.]

True, but it is bloody satisfying.

I know.

[There's a another pause, and then she adds in a softer voice,]

He might come back. Give it a few days before you start setting off fireworks in his room.

Speaking as someone who's used a Blasting Curse on those things, obviously I understand.

[Actually, she was aiming for some forest monsters and the device got in the way. But, details.]

Absolutely. I don't know if you've noticed, but they've got this idiotic habit of turning on when you don't want them to.

I had noticed, yeah.

The Hall of the Missing, then?

[As if he doesn't know, but what else is there to say?]

[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com 2011-11-02 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pause.]

You alright?

Ron's gone home again.

[Really all the answer he wants to give.]

What about you?

[personal profile] onlyholey 2011-11-02 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Yep. Words. What are they even?]

He might come back, George. I told Fred the same thing—you never know, with this place. You never know if they've gone back for good. The one time I went home, I came back three weeks later.

[Maybe she's too hopeful, though. Maybe she's trying to cling to that reassurance because she doesn't want any more of them to leave.]

Suppose you're right, yeah.

Just trying to stay optimistic.

Easier said than done, eh?

How are you holding up?

[WHO KNOWS.

He breathes out lowly before answering, and isn't this just surreal? A picture in a hallway all of a sudden? It seems like Ron ought to be bursting through the door any moment now, asking what all the fuss is about. Gone, gone, gone like that time in the tent, only without any anger or parting words.

He'd take the anger over this.]


You're all right?

[The most obvious, but again - what can be said?]

[identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com 2011-11-02 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you and Fred want to come over? I'm making pie...

[identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com 2011-11-02 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rapunzel looks sad, sighing quietly.]

I don't think I like that sort of experiment...

[Lily's heard about this sort of thing and she feels pretty helpless about it on the whole. As a result, she doesn't actually say anything. She's just going to go into the kitchen and bake brownies. Lots and lots of brownies. She'll leave them on the counter for everyone in the cabin.]

[That's enough to goad him into a snap.]

Right, because you're the only one who's lost someone today - stupid of me to forget!
