Y’ALL!!!!
So, as I was writing Uncharted Territory, I was like, ‘I really want to see a fanart of this.’ So, I commissioned @little-lynx to draw George and Ange and Freddy for me. Aren’t they gorgeous?! This scene is from chapter 5 and it was one of my favorite chapters to write. A big thank you to Ilona for doing such an amazing job and helping bring this to life.
cedric and cho are the prettiest couple at hogwarts and the only couple who ties is george and angelina
For the unusual writer asks I would love a BTS for the newest addition to my “to-read” list, Uncharted Territory, please! 💛
BTS: I’ll write a DVD commentary about my personal favorite passage from Uncharted Territory
This was really hard to do because I have several scenes that I could consider my favorite in this fic. So I decided to go with the first one from chapter 2!
With a grimace, Angelina leaned forward. “I was thinking.”
George raised his eyebrows. “Should I be scared?”
Angelina used to say this to George/the twins all the time. They'd come up and tell her, 'We have an idea,' and her response was always, 'Should I be scared?' (They answer was usually most definitely.)
She rolled her eyes. “I like the name Frederick.” There was silence before she continued, George’s eyes fixed on the baby. “And I know you never suggested it, but I know that you wanted to name him after Fred. So, I thought maybe we’d put the two names together. It just felt right to me.” She bit her lip again. “As long as you know that this baby isn’t a replacement-”
This is really important to Angelina. She's been with George through his worst and having him hyperfixate on their son as a replacement for his twin would be a major regression in his healing journey. It's also something a younger, less mature George would have done.
“He could never be that, Angelina,” George interrupted, and no truer words could have been spoken. “No one could ever bring back what I felt for Fred. And . . . what I feel for him is nothing like what I felt for Fred.”
He’d always thought of Fred has a part of himself, the other half to make him whole. They were a unit, perfectly in sync. Fred had been brash where he had been more reserved. Fred’s eyes sparkled with cruelty where George’s had glinted with a faint apology. Fred was captivated by the big picture while George focused on the intricate details. And then George had lost all that in one crushing moment that took him years to recover from.
The contrast here is important. So many people think of Fred and George as the same person, but George knows better, knows the little things that make them completely separate people. When he was at his lowest, he would go out into the Muggle world, get drunk, and pretend to be Fred, but it never felt right. He could never quite convince himself that Fred was the one who was alive and he was in the grace. Then he always woke up feeling like shit the next morning. So George has to remember this, especially in a moment like this, and especially since they're considering the possibility of naming their son after his twin.
But this baby, he felt like something new — something so extraordinary that George didn’t even think his twin would understand if he were here. There was a fierce protectiveness in his chest, roaring like a lion. And he’d felt protective of Fred, too, but not like this. Never like this. The other part of him was overjoyed; so much joy that he thought he’d explode and confetti would rain down on Angelina and their baby. It was unlike anything he’d ever felt before.
It's important here to see what exactly George feels, to see that his feelings for his son are different from those of his brother. It's also really important for him to make that distinction as well.
When he glanced back up at Angelina, she had a hard look in her eyes; pride, he thought, like when she’d won the Quidditch Cup against all odds in seventh year. She had never looked at him quite like that before.

“Angelina,” he whined.
She groaned. “I don’t know, George. It’s not even enough big enough to be a boy or girl.”
“Yeah, but what do you want?” He pressed his palm into her stomach for emphasis.
Angelina opened her eyes to glare at him. “A quiet husband.”
Then she rolled over.
George was highly offended by this.
I'm tentatively thinking about filling short drabble prompts today.

“You act like he wasn’t my friend before all this,” Roxanne snapped. “It’s not like we just rushed into this.”
“Seems pretty rushed to me,” Freddy muttered. “I also don’t know why I have to be here.”
George concurred with that. Angelina may like Hunter and want to have lunch with him, but he very much did not. Why couldn’t Roxanne find someone like Stella? He’d liked Stella.
“Because last time I checked, you were part of this family,” Angelina said.

“You wouldn’t happen to be going to mess with your mum’s broom after she told you to leave it alone, would you?”
“‘Course not,” he mumbled.
“You better not,” George said. “If you do, it’s your ass and mine in the fire.”
“Yeah, yeah,” he muttered before slipping out the back down.
When he turned back to Roxanne, she was standing still, her arms crossed over her chest and a glare on her little face.
“What?”
“You’re not paying attention,” she said.

Chapter 11 Preview:
“When is Mum coming to get them?” George asked.
Angelina gave him a grim smile. “She’s not.”
“What?”
“She's come down with Dragon Pox. She Flooed me nearly in tears because she didn’t find out until this morning.”
“Katie and Oliver?”
“Hunter and Jack have the flu.”
“Bill?”
“Left for France with Fleur yesterday.”
“Ginny?”
“Covering a Quidditch match, and Harry’s out of the country on Auror business, so Ron and Hermione have five kids at their house right now.”
“Percy?”
“Also out of the country with his wife.”
