After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

"Harry!" Ron tried to keep his voice as low as possible. He couldn't believe what he heard. He was not a very smart boy, but he understood that his brother George would lose his ears.

What kind of hearing hole? He swore he was going to start hating all jokes about ears! "Is this the voice of the heart? Is what Draco said true? This should just be a joke, right?"

Ron's voice gradually faded away under Harry's gaze. He realized something and accurately distinguished George and Fred for the first time. He hugged George and buried his head in his arms.

George only felt his clothes were slightly damp. In the past, he might have joined Fred in laughing at little Ronnie, but... he touched his left ear and didn't react at all.

Fred silently held George's hand. He wanted to say, "Hey, George, your jokes are terrible!" and then laugh with George like they used to, but he couldn't say it in the end. He just kept a blank face.

After all, they were still eight years old. Everything they did from now on seemed so far away, like there was a layer between them. They all braced themselves to listen for what was coming next. It couldn't be more difficult to accept than eavesdropping, right?

During the Battle of Hogwarts, Fred took the initiative to monitor the secret passage for himself and George.

But perhaps it's because every time the Weasley twins were separated, they encountered misfortune. The first time was when George lost an ear, and the second time was when Fred died. There are many twins in the wizarding world, but only these two are truly in tune with each other.

George and Fred formed a balance in their relationship, but at certain times, that balance was always broken, and Fred left. It started as a joke and ended as a joke.

He was always joking when he was alive, and there was still a trace of smile on his face when he died. His last words before he died were a joke to his brother Percy who had gone astray and returned to the right path.

Fred looked at Percy with amusement. "You're really joking, Percy... I haven't heard you joke in ages, since your last words - Fred Weasley.

He died in a massive explosion caused by Death Eater Augustus Rookwood and his companions at the age of 20.

From that moment on, every mirror George looked into became the Mirror of Erised.

Fred felt his hand, gripped tightly by George's, as if it would vanish if he let go. He didn't feel any pain, just a sense of unreality. He didn't dwell on his future; his first reaction was to feel sorry for George. George must be very lonely...

George thought eavesdropping was the worst thing that could happen in this war, but Fred...why Fred?

Ron had been slowly calming down after crying for a while while holding George, but then he received another piece of devastating news. This time, Ron couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears while holding George.

"Fred!" The voice was so miserable that even Ginny and Percy looked over curiously, not to mention Draco who was now overreacting to the name Fred.

Harry was sweating profusely from being stared at. He wanted to make up some excuse to get away with it, but his godfather, Uncle Luke, and Aunt Cissy had confessed some things to him long ago and had not brushed him off just because he was a child. He also knew that they had argued about whether he should tell Draco in secret.

The rules forbade them from telling him, but what would happen if they did? Would it lead to unfortunate consequences that would hurt Draco? But was it really okay to keep it a secret from Draco? Ultimately, the desire to not hurt Draco won out. They unanimously decided not to let Draco know.

But Merlin's mind was completely blank, and he couldn't come up with any good excuses. Merlin's stinky socks, someone come and save him!

Perhaps Merlin heard his inner cry, for Mrs. Weasley appeared through the archway. "George! Fred! I told you not to bully your brother!" She walked over quickly, holding Ron in her arms and blocking Draco's view.

"Hey, you can't always use your brother as a test subject. You are brothers." Ginny and Percy shrugged knowingly. Then Percy patiently taught their little sister, and the two of them had a lot of fun.

Molly noticed from the corner of her eye that Draco seemed a little worried about Ron and wanted to come over to check on him, so she immediately half-hugged Ron as they headed back to the manor. "Poor little Ronnie, luckily Professor Snape is free now. Mommy's going to ask if she can treat you. George! Fred! Come with me! Percy, take good care of your sister and don't be naughty. Sorry, Harry, Draco, I'm going to take these two little naughty monkeys and teach them a lesson first, don't worry."

Molly hurriedly led the three children towards the manor, muttering non-stop, which made Draco stunned.

George and Fred had been silent since Molly appeared. They saw their mother's red eyes and guessed that she must have heard everything they had just said.

They didn't know what to say. At eight years old, they were barely able to comfort themselves, and they racked their brains but couldn't come up with a joke that would cheer Mrs. Weasley up. They lowered their heads, and to Draco, they felt a bit like someone caught in a prank.

Harry thought for a moment and ran over to tell Draco that he thought Mrs. Weasley must have heard it. He had just noticed some movement behind the tree, and maybe his godfather and Mrs. Weasley were all there. He told Draco that he was a little worried that Ron would be scared to death by his godfather's sharp tongue, and then they would lose this little friend, so he wanted to go and have a look.

Draco thought what Harry said made sense. He had wanted to go too, but Percy and Ginny were there, and it would be rude for the host to abandon his guests.

When Harry came over, several adults were there, including the sobbing Ron, the twins holding each other's hands tightly, Mrs. Weasley who was hugging them and crying, Mr. Weasley who was confused about what was going on, Snape with a serious expression, Narcissa who was comforting Mrs. Weasley, and Lucius who had been in the study and had no idea what was going on but had a vague premonition.

As Molly was emotional, Harry explained to them what had just happened, including what Draco had seen, the new future.

Mr. Arthur's mouth opened wider and wider as Harry spoke. He felt that he had heard something incredible, but when he saw the expressions of his wife and son, he swallowed some inappropriate words and muttered, "Why can you alone hear it? It's okay if I can't hear it, but why can Ron hear it?" He still didn't quite believe what Harry said, even though his wife and son could hear it and testify.

"Arthur! It's because of your attitude that you can't hear!" Molly was like a lioness protecting her cubs. When she heard it, she had a premonition that this was true. If she didn't change it, everything would become a reality! She knew that Arthur would have doubts because he couldn't hear.

But aren't the most important thing in this passage their twins? Look at what he said! Even someone with a low EQ like little Ronnie knows to care about his brothers first!

Arthur knew he had made a mistake, and in Molly's fury, he quickly realized he had been biased. He secretly regretted it. He had clearly agreed with Dumbledore to stop looking at Malfoy through tinted glasses, but he felt that he still hadn't adjusted his mindset.

But... he suddenly lost all his strength and fell onto the sofa. "How can I believe this? My child, my little magpie who brought me joy like a pistachio, can no longer fly, we have lost him forever?"

There were many children in their family, and besides Ginny, he actually loved these two most. They always made him laugh and made him feel tired after get off work. Although sometimes there were some sweet troubles.

The study fell into silence, and the children did not dare to speak in such an atmosphere. It was Snape who broke the silence.

He solemnly apologized to the Weasley family, "I'm sorry that I hurt Mr. George."

Molly shook her head. "It's not your fault, Severus." She looked at this junior from her school. They were not very familiar with each other, one was in Gryffindor and the other in Slytherin. She just vaguely heard about the feud between him and the robbers.

She knew that it was Snape who accidentally injured George while trying to protect them, and she couldn't blame him. She could only murmur and repeat, "It's not your fault, nothing has happened yet..."

“Yes, nothing has happened yet.”
