Chapter Text
It was first anniversary of the fall of Voldemort, George was at the commemoration ceremony held at Hogwarts. The day was sunny, which definitely did not match the sombre mood of everyone. George looked at the castle as he heard Harry make a speech. It had taken seven months for Hogwarts to be rebuilt because of the intricate work that was needed because of the ancient that made it the almost impenetrable, they had added a ward that did not allow anyone with ill intentions to enter the grounds of Hogwarts. Although the work had been finished in December, it had only been opened in January the students offered home schooling until then.
It was hard to believe that it was only a year ago that he lost his brother in the worst way possible. Fred was his brother, twin and other half of his soul. Fred was the brains; George came up with the ideas and Fred was the one that turned the ideas into fruition. He knew that Fred would want him to reopen Weasley Wizard Wheezes but he just could not bring himself to.
In the time that he had been daydreaming they had started to unveil the memorial that held the names of everyone who died in the battle of Hogwarts. The memorial was a wall with a figurine of a Phoenix on top as a symbol of the rebirthing of the community. He then saw Fred’s name on the plaque and he felt tears in his eyes.
Everybody started to leave when the ceremony was finished, he saw his mum head his way as he was about to head to the gate.
“You coming with us to the Leaky with us?” his mum said after she approached him.
“Sure”
So, after that George left the grounds and apparated to the Leaky Cauldon. The usually lively Leaky Cauldron was sombre as everyone remember the ones they lost. George joined Harry and Ginny who had found a big table in the corner of the pub. He nodded to the both of them and sat down at the table. The rest of the family and Hermione joined them at the table. Hannah Abbot then came and took their order, everybody ordered a meal with their drinks.

George stood up from the table to go get himself a second pint of butterbeer and a shot of fire whiskey. George was surprised when he heard a voice address him and saw Angelina Johnson.
“Hi George”
“Oh, Ange how are you going “
“Alright, I have been recruited by the Tornadoes quidditch league”
“That’s, awesome”
Just a bartender came over with four drinks for Angelina.
“look I have to go I am with family, but would you like to have dinner on Wednesday”
“That sounds great”
Just then a bartender handed George his drinks and he went back to the family, suddenly for reasons unknown to George but he felt a little better.
