[ 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!]

[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.

Ron's gone home again.

[Really all the answer he wants to give.]

What about you?

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.]

How are you holding up?

As I have done for a while. It's you lot I'm worried about.

I'm alright. Fred's not managed to break too many things.

I'd say keep it that way, but Merlin knows it might actually help some.

[Pause.]

There's a target out by the cabin for dueling practice. You're free to hex it six ways to Sunday if it'll help at all. Both of you.

[She's done it to vent. She's also split some boulders by the beach, but that's another story.]

For what it's worth, Georgie—I miss him, too.

[A pause, then, gently teasing.]

What a git.

Don't muck up his room. I can pack it up in a few days' time and I'd rather not clean up after you two as well as Ron. That'll be impossible even with magic.

I'll try to keep Fred away, then. But I make promises.

Thanks, George.

[For that. For not leaving. For not wanting a row like our brother. For everything.]

's not a problem, Ginny.

[It's what he does, isn't it? George Weasley, the one who sticks around.]

[Trying to ease the situation with a bit of joking, now.]

Let me know when it is. We can take turns handling Fred.

[Or maybe she should see to Harry and Hermione...]

I know. It's—

[Oh, George.]

I'm just letting you know. Both of you. None of this stupid, tough older brother act. Not around me, not with this.
