The night before what's supposed to be his funeral, Fred Weasley's body goes missing. Though his family blame a Ministry mix-up, George is convinced something else is afoot. In his search for his twin, he finds himself thrust into a supernatural underworld the wizarding community strives to keep hidden and begins to uncover secrets which have been buried for generations.
Vernon Dursley was not invited to the restaurant Lily chose to announce her and James' engagement at. (The announcement still does not go as planned.)
The anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts rolls around, year after year. There's no escaping it. George also can't escape the fact that as of the twentieth anniversary, he has officially spent half of his life without Fred at his side.
After Harry Potter is killed during the Battle of Hogwarts, it's assumed Voldemort will take over automatically. That is not the case. Purebloods and half-bloods continue to perish and, determined to increase the population again, Voldemort tasks one of his loyal followers and two Healers with resurrecting the deceased in a perfect condition. It goes terribly, terribly wrong.
'"We were barely an hour in!" Fred exclaimed, folding his arms and placing the angriest scowl he could muster on his face. "I can't be dead already. I refuse to be dead already," he said firmly.' After being rather rudely pulled to a joke shop in the middle of the Battle of Hogwarts, Fred Weasley learns to come to terms with his death, and move on to the great beyond.
"I've been just George longer than I was Fred and George and I'm not entirely such whether that's a good or bad thing." Twenty years after the Battle of Hogwarts, George Weasley considers the half of his life that he's spent without Fred.
