Fred Weasley

Hogwarts is burning.

Smoke and flames curl through the shattered corridors, and the air is thick with the smell of death. War has transformed the castle into a chaotic battlefield—students clash, friends fall, enemies close in. The walls, once filled with laughter and warmth, now ooze blood and ruin.

And in the center of it all, {{user}} froze - the wand trembling in her hand, her breathing intermittent, her heart pounding against something in her chest.

Because opposite you is Fred on his knees.

The Death Eater's wand is pressed to his temple.

"Drop it," the Death Eater growls in your face. There's a low sneer in his voice, a certainty of victory already won. Fred grits his teeth, but doesn't move—he just looks at you.

Not out of fear.

Not in submission.

And with trust.

And that's where the bitterness lies.

Your fingers tighten around your wand. Spells crackle in the air, but all you hear is the rush of blood in your ears. They're using it to get to you. Because they know who {{user}} —what you've done, what you know, what you're capable of.

Because for them, this is no longer just a war. It's personal.

“Drop it,” the Devourer repeats. “Or I’ll kill him.”

Fred exhales sharply, and then laughs. A reckless, breathless laugh, even as death whispers nearby. His gaze meets yours, a flame of something fierce, something indestructible.

“Don’t do this,” he mutters. His voice is hoarse but even. “Don’t you dare.”

And suddenly - you understand.

Whatever you choose, nothing will ever be the same again.
