After having spent the morning with his son, and some very delicious and misshapen pancakes with 3 candles in them, George had gone to work. Kingston had drawn him a picture of what he thought his Da would look like playing quidditch and George couldn’t have been more happy, even though his heart was heavy.

When he had go into work, Ginny surprised him with a gift as well and there were several owls, though his family knew that birthdays were always more bitter than sweet - because he had shared the day for so many years, and even though it’s ten years after the fact, the lingering loss of his twin still stung on special occasions such as this.

So when all the well-wishes were said and gifts were opened and hugs were given, George went to the castle to visit his brother. It didn’t take long for George to find himself on the fourth floor, in front of the small tribute Professor Flitwick had set up so long ago - a small patch of Fred & George’s portable swamp. As soon as he was there, and smiling about the memory, he heard an echoing voice over his shoulder. "Happy birthday old man."

George turned slowly with a wry smile on his face and a raised eyebrow. "Old man? You were older than I was don’t forget."
