A typical Weasley male moment

This isn't some fairy tale love story- so if you were here for that, then I'd leave now. Go on, skedaddle! This is pretty much the story of how I screwed up, and after a few strange experiences, a dragon attack, and a few clumsy, typical Weasley male moments, made myself the happiest bloke in the wizarding world…

(I'm not sure about muggle…)

It was a Sunday afternoon, and all the Weasleys' (plus Harry and Hermione) had gathered for a home cooked dinner at the Burrow.

There was much laughter, enjoyment, and merriment to be had, and all seemed to be having a wonderful time.

That was, until Mrs Weasley started talking about couples. The one subject Charlie would rather stick his head in a Hungarian Horntail's mouth to avoid… because; he just knew it would come back to him.

He wasn't wrong.

"Well, it seems we've got the entire family set up but you Charlie," said Mrs Weasley, passing the potatoes to her second eldest son.

"What are we then?" said Fred and George in outrage.

"Well we all know you two are lost causes," said Ginny grinning.

"We are wounded by your lack of faith," said George shaking his head sorrowfully, but then his evil grin appeared, and he turned back to Charlie, who had been trying to sink as far below the table as possible for his 6ft 2.

"But Mum's right" said George

"What about you Charlie?" added Fred

Charlie's ears were red, and he looked away mumbling "Shut up you two"

"Now Charlie" started Mrs Weasley, "I know a nice young girl who lives in Hogsmeade… maybe you should meet her?"

"No!"

"Why not?" said Mrs Weasley narrowing her eyes.

"Uh-oh… better be a good reason Charlie…," whispered Ron, warning Charlie unnecessarily.

"Because, I um…" Charlie struggled to find a fitting excuse.

"Because I already have a girlfriend"

…That wasn't it.

Hey, this is just a lil short(ish) fic that came to me during the holidays. It's going to be Tonks/Charlie, and it's the first time I've ever written this. Don't worry, Love Stays the Same is still my main priority, but I just thought I'd start this and see where it lead me.

Ok, review!
