Gem is confused, very confused. But having a good memory was not one of the qualities she would use to describe Fred. But she partly understood. He was a memory, like Voldemort had been. She knew that, because she liked books, escpecially about her family history. And she had already known Hermione was a genious, but now she was even more of a genious. She giggled at Fred's last question. "No, it's not that, it's..." She almost didn't want to tell him, they were his family too technically. He just didn't know them. She hadn't known them all personally either, there were far too many and she was far too shy. Gem decided to tell them, she had known she would tell him the whole time. "My whole family died," she said quietly. the words sounded different coming out of her mouth, almost like a confirmation that this whole thing was true. "Except for my sister and a few distant aunts, uncles and cousins." She breathed in and out deeply so she wouldn't cry.
Fred grins at you when you laugh at his little joke, but the smile slides from his face at this revelation. "Oh... oh my," he says, looking quite dumbstruck. Looking at Gem, he realizes that she has tears behind her eyes and he kneels down in front of her. "Oh, no," he says. "No, no. Don't cry. You're so strong, Gemini. Haven't I always told you how strong you were? Quiet--reserved, maybe--but the strongest person I know. Always."
He leans forward as though to kiss her on the forehead. He gets so close that his ghost-like lips barely brush against her skin and she can feel a slight tingling sensation, though she's not sure if she's just imagining it or not. |
