The Weasley family can be seen sitting around the living room of the burrow. Molly in the armchair and Arthur perched on the edge. Ron and Hermione can be seen sitting on the same cushion on the old couch. Bill and Fleur on the other side of the same couch. George is sitting on the lone arms chair in the middle of a wall.
"I get this is a fucking intervention. What I don't understand is why." George exclaims. He rests his head in his hands clearly distressed.
Ron's first instinct is to go to him and try and provide comfort like he's been doing since that terrible day last May.
"Well George. It's been nearly a year, and you've barely left the house. Forcing poor Ron to take control of the joke shop. If new products don't start coming out people will lose interest. And losing the only thing connecting all of us to Fred and Harry would be just awful." Hermione states primly.
George's head snaps up before he barely snarls out "DON'T". He stands and goes to leave but its Bill that stops him. "Please Georgie, I just want to help."
"If you really want to help, you will let me leave." He says quietly. Trying to push Bill's hand off his chest, but not being aggressive about it."
"Now George. That is no way to speak to anyone, especially not your older brother that is just trying to help you." Molly Shouts standing.
"Fine, you want to do this?" At a nod from Molly everyone sits down while he paces in front of them. When he starts pulling at his hair it's Ron that tries to get up, but Hermione stops him. This does not go unnoticed by George.
"Where do I even start. Let's see..." George slumps back into his armchair and looks right at his mum. "How bout this. I have never been anyone's favorite person. Except Fred. I know you lost a son, or a brother, or a friend. We all lost people that day. I get it. But I lost my soulmates. Fred was my other half. Harry was our whole world. We loved him so much-"
"We all did dear. Thats no reason to treat us all like this." Molly cuts in sharply.
George immediately jumps up and starts shouting.
"I HAVE NEVER BEEN SOMONES FAVORITE ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR FRED. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. " with the looks of confusion from everyone, and flinches from some at the volume. He softens his voice and continues. "Mum, your favorite child is Ginny, the only girl the golden child. Ron was by Harrys side the whole time so he's second. Dad Bill is the oldest the one to take over as head of the family. Obviously, you know and love him best. Then there's Charlie the spare. You have to show him a lot or heaven forbid something happen to any of us and he has to take over. Then there is Percy, not even fucking here and still on a damn pedestal. The one with all the O's, the one with the cushy job. Where does that leave me? Huh Mum, Dad. Where?"
Molly's face started going red through his little speech. She tries to cut in but George silences her with just a look.
"Then there's Fred. The one that died. He's not even here and you love him more than me. Which is fine I do too. But that doesn't make me feel better. You have constantly belittled us. He's gone and you still do it or use him against me. How is that far?" She tries to cut in again but this time he casts a silencing spell on her.
"No wait until I am done. Did you know that we both got the top marks on the owls and top marks on our newts. Even though we dropped out of Hogwarts" He used air quotes around dropped out. "Of course you didn't we never mattered. Well at least Fred does now. But not me. The one that is still making money off of a widely successful joke shop. But that's not incredible, no its Perfect Percy that is. Because he got all O's and finished them at Hogwarts. Well, guess what Mum We got top marks while starting a business while being incredibly talented quidditch players. You never even came to one of our games. I saw you leave for Bill and Charlies games all the time. If he wasn't important alive, YOU DO NOT GET TO USE HIS NAME WHEN HE IS DEAD."
Molly is full on sobbing. She is still silenced. But George appears to be done until he turns to the rest of the room.
"I get it. I am the only twin left. So, you want to help, but none of you cared when he was alive and we were both struggling. You do not get to start now. "
"George, I love you, you know that." Ron cuts in.
"I know Ronikins. But that doesn't change, I do not come first for you. It used to be Harry, now its Hermione. It's okay you deserve love. I want that for you. But I want to be someone's first choice too. Growing up it was Bill and Charlie against the world, then you and Ginny. And Percy never cared much for anyone. I had Fred. None of you could even tell us apart. Do you know what its like for a family not to even know which twin you are?" Ron and Bill shake their heads. "Bill it's not Charlie for you anymore. It's Fleur, which is amazing . I love her. But she still calls me Fred. Charlie has his dragons and Percy has work. You, Ron, have your girlfriend. Or fiancé whatever you are now. Ginny has Luna. I am ecstatic for all of you. But I didn't even get to know you were engaged Ron. " George's hands are pulling hard at his hair and tears are streaming down his face.
"Well George, if you were around more you would have known. You can't fault us for not going out of the way when you don't care." Hermione says a touch to smugly.
"Hermione. Why should I when all ANY of you do when I am here is belittle me? What's the point in coming for that? But let's talk about it. The real reason you didn't tell me is because you wanted a reason for me to get upset so you can fix it. "
"That's not true. RON tell him it's not." When Ron just stares tears falling down his face she scoffs and tries to start again but George stops her and speaks again.
"NO. It's true. But how bout instead of trying to fix me, you take a look at your incessant need to fix yourself. I can't do this anymore. I really want to say I love you all, but I am not sure I can say that anymore." The door slams on his way out. George knows he's too emotional to apparate right now so he begins the trek to the Lovegood's for their floo.
Meanwhile in the House they are all shouting over each other about what to do next.
"Ron. It's me or him. If you follow him after what he said about me, we are done." Hermione snarls when he tries to get up.
"I'm sorry. " He says softly and gets up to leave.
He finds George lying next to a pond and waits with him for a bit before speaking. "I left Hermione behind. She never should have spoken to you like that. I haven't shown it very well. But I want you to know you mean way more than her. I love you. I want to show you that you are more important to me than anyone else right now."
When he gets no response, he pushes George a little. Thats when he realizes the George is still. Unnaturally still and a note next to him with Ron in George's big script.
