This is such a beautiful tribute to Fred. Poor George.. I really like that he doesn't feel complete without Fred, but it is sad. I think you conveyed the emotion well in this piece and you really wrote a beautiful moment and reflection on what may have happened to George after DHs. It's so sad, but I loved this!
Author's Response: I can't imagine him being totally happy after what happened. They were too close. I'm glad you liked it! ^_^

Poor George! It's nice that he has someplace where he feels he can connect with Fred. I like how you moved back and forth between the townspeople's and George's point of views. Very well don.
Author's Response: Thank you! ^_^

Hi Little Bibi!
I'm so glad I had the chance to read this one-shot of yours. This story was quite bittersweet and I enjoyed your take on George. Fred was indeed his second half and I cannot imagine what it felt like to lose his brother, his twin. It was also refreshing to see a serious, deeper side of George as opposed to his normal prankster attitude.
As for grammar, I noticed only a few minors errors. They are as follows.
"It was an unusual sunny Sunday..."
This should be, "It was an unusually sunny Sunday..."
"At the road..."
This should be, "On the road..."
"towns folk" and "town folk" should be "townsfolk" instead.
"observing him from far..."
This should be "observed him from afar..."
"They tried to talk to him in the road."
This should be, "They tried to talk to him on the road."
"Fantasy is always better than reality."
This should be, "Fantasy was always better than reality."
"..under this tree..."
This should be "under that tree..."
"On those days the town folk didn't really bother the visit of this stranger."
This should be, "On those days, the townsfolk weren't bothered by the stranger's visit."
"this man would yell at the top of his lungs..."
This should be, "the man would yell at the top of his lungs..."
"one could even think that they didn't even acknowledge his presence..."
This should be, "one would even think that they didn't acknowledge his presence..."
"telling him to hunt some other place..."
This should be, "telling him to haunt some other place..."
"would eventually get back to the same place."
This should be, "would eventually go back to the same place."
"But this blow of wind..."
This should be, "But this gust of wind..."
"walking with steady paces..."
This should be, "walking steadily..."
Also, if you ever wanted to expand this piece, perhaps you would consider adding a bit of physical description of George. The townsfolk certainly think he acts strange, but does he look strange to them, with his bright red hair and wizard's clothes? Just a thought ;)
Anyway, Little Bibi, I did enjoy this story and I look forward to reading more of your work. Good luck!
Best,
celticbard.
