Hi, this is my newest fanfic about Charlie Weasley/OC! Hope you like!
The name's Charlie Weasley, and I'm a dragonologist. I absolutely love dragons. There were no creatures as fascinating as them. Fierce, yet beautiful and graceful.
But when I joined the Order of the Phoenix, I had to go back to England. I apparated to 12 Grimmauld Place, the headquarters.
"Charlie!" Ron cried, hugging me happily.
"Hey Ronnie," I laughed, using Fred and George's pet name for him. Ron scowled, and brought over a pretty, bushy haired girl.
"This is Hermione Granger," Ron said adoringly, though the girl was oblivious to my brother's love sick tone.
"Hello," she said politely, holding out her hand. I shook it and greeted her back.
Then I saw my brother's best friend, Harry Potter. "Harry!" Ron shouted. "Come 'ere!"
"Hey Harry," I said.
"Hi," Harry said shyly, and stole a quick glance at Ginny, my younger sister. He smiled, and so did she. They both blushed when they realized that I noticed.
"Charles!" I turned around and immediately found myself being hugged by my best friend from Hogwarts, Nymphadora Tonks. She was a Hufflepuff, and I was a Gryffindor. But we were still close.
"Tonks!" She pulled away from me and grinned.
"Long time no see, dragon boy," she teased.
"It's been a while," I said wistfully. "So how've you been?"
"Good. I'm an Auror now," she said proudly.
"Awesome! How'd you manage to pass the Stealth and Tracking portion o' the test?" I asked.
"Don't even ask," she laughed. Then I noticed two men standing behind her. Sirius Black, the convicted and innocent murderer, who was her cousin, and Remus Lupin, a man that my father was fond of, who was also a werewolf. There was something in the way Lupin looked at Tonks that made me wanna ask Tonks if there was something between them.
"Uh, hey," I said, shaking Sirius's hand.
"Wotcher," he said in a badly imitated Tonks voice. She slapped her cousin's arm.
"Hello," Lupin said.
"Hi," I said. Then I faced all of them again. "You're all in the Order too?"
"Yes we are, Charlie boy," Sirius grinned cheekily. I grimaced at another one of Tonks's nicknames for me
"I'm gonna kill you Tonks!" I shouted, and I chased her out of the room, leaving Sirius and Lupin behind.
After dinner, Tonks and I caught up. We laughed for hours when Tonks told me about her Auror training, and about some stories of when Sirius and Remus were in Hogwarts. After all, they were the Marauders, the greatest pranksters of all time. But I couldn't help but notice her blush whenever she said Lupin's name.
"So, you got a girly-friend over in Romania?" Tonks asked suddenly.
"Nah, what about you? You know, I think Lupin likes you," I said. She flushed.
"I don't think anyone like him would like me," she said quietly.
"Tonks! Don't doubt yourself! And you don't see the way he looks at you," I reminded her.
"Well, yeah. But he's Sirius's best mate! They were in their third year when we were born!"
"You know what, I think you should stop worrying and snog him already!" I grinned.
"Snog who already?" Sirius asked, walking into the room with a full glass of Firewhiskey in his hand. Remus was beside him, his expression unreadable.
"No one," Tonks said quickly, not looking at Lupin.
"You don't have to stop your conversation because two old men arrived," Lupin said quietly, but jokingly. Tonks didn't get it.
"You're not old!" she almost shouted.
"Thirteen years, Nymphadora," he said, then took a sip of Butterbeer.
"Don't call me that!" she shrieked. Sirius and I snickered. She gave us a death glare.
"I happen to think Nymphadora is a beautiful name," Remus said cheekily, which surprised me until I remembered that he was a Marauder.
"Of course, it's wonderful!" Tonks squealed in a girly pitch. Then she looked out the window. "Ooh, the moon's so bright!"
Lupin looked uncomfortable. "Well, it's time for me to go."
"Why?" Tonks asked. I wondered if she knew that he was a werewolf.
"Just another night in my paradise," he said bitterly. He started walking away when Sirius grabbed his arm.
"Wait, Moony! Just take the Wolfsbane and stay here," he said.
Remus looked appalled. "No way Padfoot! I'm endangering everybody here!"
I could see why Tonks liked him. I instantly admired him.
"It's just us! Everybody went to the Burrow for the night," Sirius reminded him.
"Fine," Lupin grumbled. "But if I get close to hurting anybody, get out of here, or kill me if necessary."
"I don't think it's necessary. Now hurry up!" Sirius snapped, pushing him into the nearest room.
All three of us shuddered when we heard Lupin's yells and groans from the bedroom.
"I think he's done transforming," Sirius said, looking at all of us. "Now who wants to see the beast that lies within Remus Lupin?"
"Is that safe?" I asked.
"Of course, Charlie boy. Remus took his potion," Sirius said. I threw a pointed look at Tonks, who giggled.
We all walked slowly towards the door. Then Sirius opened the door so fast, a breeze ruffled my hair. Nothing in my life could've prepared me for what I saw next. I expected werewolves to look like actual wolves. How wrong I was.
A werewolf was a mix of human and wolf. Lupin's torso was skinnier than ever, and you could easily see his ribs. His face was unrecognizable, with a snout that looked painful to grow every month. His fingers were long and had claws. You could see every one of his veins through his skin. But his eyes, even though they were a different color, were the same kind ones that Remus actually had.
Tonks cried out when she saw him. Next to her, where Sirius was supposed to be, was a large black dog. Sirius bounded up to Lupin, and they had an intense play fight. If Remus didn't have his human mind, he could've easily killed the dog.
The moonlight shone through the window, hitting Remus. He howled, and it was the longest and most sorrowful moment of my life.
Sirius turned into a human again, and walked us out of the door hurriedly.
"What's going on?" Tonks asked worriedly.
"You don't wanna know," said Sirius. They heard slashing and ripping from the other room.
"A frenzy," I stated, remembering it from a book I read.
"Pretty much. We should try going to sleep now," Sirius suggested. We obliged, though Tonks seemed to linger near the bedroom that trapped Lupin.
"C'mon Tonksy," I coaxed gently. I held out my arm, and she took it gratefully, but not before listening to another sad howl.
Ok, so this chapter doesn't have my OC, but next chapter will, which I'll try posting before I leave for the movies with my friend Redaqua1 today! Please review!
