Ready to Start

continuation of Doesn't Mean a Thing and Means the World.

It's been five years since the battle of Hogwarts and the death of George's twin brother, Fred. Everyone seems to be moving on just fine. Ron and Hermione are together, Ginny and Harry are getting married, and Percy is back a part of the family. But George can't help feeling lost amidst the happiness. No one should be happy.

Because Fred isn't there to be happy with them.

With Ron and Elise's help, the business is back and running. George is still lost though. Even though everyone is moving on, George isn't ready to start.

But perhaps one bad business meeting will spark the change.

Indefinitely on hold. It's come to the point where I'm writing a completely different character. This isn't George. This is just a story about a boy who lost a brother now. The magic is gone, and I can't seem to pick it up. Hopefully one day I'll find the inspiration to finish this story, but not now.
