Fred was having a hard time adjusting to the Other Side. He felt incomplete without George. He did have a great time with the Marauders and Lily was mothering him. But he just didn't feel right.

Fred, Remus, James, Sirius, Lily and Tonks were all sitting at the Large Table just talking and eating.

"Fred, is it ready?" James asked, very quietly into Fred's ear. Fred was about to answer when he clutched his throat in pain. He fell the floor, wheezing and gasping for breath. He started to sweat badly on his face and under his arms. But the room was cool, not nearly warm enough to sweat that much. James kneeled by his side, worry in his eyes.

"Fred are you ok?" Tonks asked as she reached him

"Can't breath. Feel like....I'm being......strangled...and...roasted." Fred gasped as he tried to grab the invisible, tightening force around his throat. Remus touched his throat, but felt nothing apart from burning hot skin.

"What's wrong with him?" Lily cried, tears in his eyes.

Dumbledore suddenly appeared behind then, but they didn't hear him over Fred.

"He is a twin. Him and George have a connection that cannot be broken by anything, not even death." Dumbledore said softly, causing everyone to jump and stare at him "And it seems George is taking Fred's death very hard and is using it as a gateway to a new adventure."

"What do you mean?" Sirius asked

"He's trying to hang himself. And, burn himself." Tonks gasped, her hair turning blue. Dumbledore nodded and Fred pounded the floor with his fist, eyes bulging and gasping, face turning red.

"Well what can we do?" Lily cried "We can't just leave him."

Dumbledore threw something on the floor near the group of worried onlookers and nodded.

"This might be useful." Dumbledore said with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. And with a POP, he was gone.

And lying on the floor, was an ear, a single ear.

"George's ear!" Remus gasped "But what- oh you gotta be kidding." Remus sighed and picked up the ear. Fred was barley moving, he was soaked with sweat, and a hint of burning could be smelled from him.

"What do you mean?" Sirius asked, but Remus didn't answer. He picked up the ear cautiously, everyone gagged a little as he held it close to his mouth.

"GEORGE! CAN YOU HEAR ME!!" Remus screamed. Everyone jumped about an inch off the floor. They glared at him but they softened when they remembered why he yelled, and they hoped George heard because Fred looked dreadful.

---In An Abandoned Shed---

George couldn't take the pain anymore. He couldn't live without Fred. Every happy memory he had included Fred. He didn't want his family to find his body just after he died. So he found an old shed very far from the Burrow. He made a noose and hung it from the ceiling. He got this flammable muggle liquid called Gasoline and poured some in a circle around the chair he had placed under the rope. He set the Gasoline on fire and stepped onto the chair. Already he felt like he was burning up and the fire hasn't reached him yet. He stepped onto the chair and he wrapped the rope tightly around his throat. He couldn't breath. His head was pounding and his throat screamed from lack of oxygen. He was just about to pass out when someone screamed inside his head, jolting some more life into him.

"GEORGE! CAN YOU HEAR ME!!" the voice sounded like Remus, but it couldn't be. He died as well.

"WHO THE HELL IS THAT!?" George screamed

"It's Remus. Look George we know that your trying to hang yourself and burn yourself alive. But Fred's feeling it as well. He's passed out on the floor and he's dying, again."

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO. I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HIM. HE'S MY PARTNER IN CRIME. I'M NOTHING WITHOUT HIM." George coughed, smoke filling his starved lungs.

"George this is Tonks. Please stop. Think of Ron, Ginny. Your mum. They need you George. They are hurting as well. Fred is waiting here for you. But if you die he dies again." Tonks cried desperately. George was close to blacking out again, the voices echoing loudly inside his skull "George please. You'll see Fred again. But not this way. Never this way."

"But I just can't-" George moaned weakly

"Georgie....please....it hurts...it burns." Fred groaned, regaining consciousness "I'll seeee yooouuu sooon-"

George knew why Fred had stopped talking, he'd passed out again, like George was going to do. The fire licked his feet and ankles, leaving bloody red marks. George couldn't bare the thought of Fred had seeing because of him. He'd made his desision.....he-

---The Other Side---

Fred had stopped moving. He wasn't breathing. Lily and Tonks had tears in their eyes. Sirius had Fred's hand in his, Remus was constantly checked his pulse while James comforted the women.

"Bloody hell that hurt!" Fred cried, sitting bolt upright.

"Fred!" Lily cried. She and Tonks threw their arms around him and hugged him tightly. Sirius and James took over and Remus patted his shoulder. Fred took George's ear and shivered as he held it.

"Thanks Georgie. I love you." Fred said. He didn't wait for a reply and he threw the ear away and it disappear, never to be need, again.
