Part One of Three

Charlie Weasley had been home more in the last few years than he had been since leaving for Romania just after school. His bosses had not been happy about him leaving for yet another wedding. They had told him this would be the last time off that he got for the next two years and when he got back he'd be handling McLaggin's training full time. He wasn't looking forward to that in the few weeks since McLaggin had joined them the man had proved to be unbelievably arrogant and took way to many risks. He shook his head to clear it. He had stopped by the leaky cauldron for a drink before heading home to face his mother. He knew from her letters she was not happy with him for not telling her about Percy and Oliver.

As he arrived at the Burrow, he found his mother working furiously at her cleaning. "Charlie, it's good to see you." She said stopping to hug him. "I almost forgot you were coming today." His mother lied unconvincingly. "Come and meet Susan's maid of honor Hannah Abbot a truly lovely girl." Charlie nearly groaned his brother Percy had warned him that his mother had been talking about finding him a nice girl to settle down with. He followed along obediently behind her as she headed out into the garden. He once again thought of telling her after all she'd taken Percy and Oliver's relationship extremely well. However, the thought of his mother trying to set him up with a nice boy was even worse than facing any attempts at setting him up with women.

They arrived where a brown haired girl was talking with a blonde in pigtails. "Girls, I'd like you to meet Charlie." She said smiling. "Charlie, this is Susan George's fiancee." She indicated the brown haired girl. "And this lovely girl is Hannah Abbot." Pointing out the blonde girl. "I really must get back to cleaning but you three talk and get to know each other."

Charlie frowned and set down. "It's good to meet you both." He looked at Hannah who seemed to be giggling about something. "Is something the matter?" He asked really confused.

Susan took pity on him and answered him. "Your mom isn't very subtle." She smiled. "She showed Hannah your picture earlier and hinting that she should ask you out when you got here." Charlie groaned. "We didn't have the heart to tell her Hannah is already taken."

Charlie smiled in relief. "That's a relief." He saw them looking. "Look I don't mean any disrespect but I don't want or need a relationship." He saw them exchange looks. "I live and work in Romania dating a nice British girl might make my mom happy but it'd never last."

Hannah smiled. "So your gay right?" Charlie sputtered. "Yep, I knew it." She turned back to Susan and smirked. "You'll have to tell George he was right." Charlie stared at her in shock.

After a while Susan finally answered. "George began to wonder after learning about Percy." She looked away. "He wondered how you'd never had a girlfriend and of course Percy said you knew." Susan smiled. "He figured Percy was okay with telling you cause you were gay to."

Charlie set his head down on the table. "Percy's actually bi." Oliver Wood said suddenly. Charlie turned and saw the keeper settling down in another chair. "He's inside helping your mom at the moment." Charlie was glad to see Oliver as his presence would hopefully take some of the attention off himself. "So dragging Charlie out of the closet are we?" Charlie's relief vanished as it became clear his brother's lover was going to join in on the teasing.

"You really shouldn't joke about that." Hannah said turning toward Oliver. "After all, Witch weekly has run several blind items about you." Charlie didn't have a clue what a blind item was but by the way Oliver blushed it wasn't good.

"I don't care what Witch weekly says." Oliver said defensively. "I'm hardly a rampant sex fiend who gets caught in the locker room having sex with my boyfriend." Charlie was confused he hadn't heard anything about Oliver and Percy being outed to such a degree.

Seeing his confused look Susan explained. "Blind items are gossip articles with names cut out to avoid any trouble." She glanced at Oliver and smirked. "The last one said their favorite quidditch star and his ministry lover got caught in the locker room by his team mates."

"Which is completely untrue." Oliver said with a frown. "And if you value your sanity don't ask Percy about it." Charlie could imagine his brother would explain in excruciating detail why he'd never do something like that.

"Have you told your parents yet?" Charlie asked trying to change the subject. He didn't care to know any details about his younger brother's sex life. He knew from Percy's letters that Oliver was extremely reluctant to tell his own parents.

"Yeah, it didn't go well." Oliver said. "Mom insisted on checking me for the imperius curse and love potions." He looked down as he continued speaking. "They weren't happy when they couldn't find any reason for me to be involved with a man other than by choice." He frowned. "I guess they aren't happy the only Wood offspring will come from my cousin." Charlie noticed the table had gotten uncomfortably silent.

He was saved from the awkward silence by his brother George arriving with a big smile. "Charlie just in time to join your soon to be married brother for a night out on the town." He stared as he saw the knowing look exchanged by Susan and Hannah. "Don't worry my love I won't do anything too crazy besides you've got your spies Ernie and Justin to report on any misbehavior I get up too."

Susan smiled back. "And I'm sure Hermione and Ginny will tell you about any trouble I get into." Charlie stared at her as George burst out laughing. "Now run along boys and George don't get too drunk if you have a hang over on the day of our wedding I'll kill you."

As he found himself dragged along with his brothers, he heard George asking Percy. "Did you make it for me?" He wondered what George meant until Percy pulled out a flask and handed it to him. "Thanks a lot Perce." George said happily as he downed it. "Now I can drink as much as I want."

"Why not just make the hang over cure yourself?" He asked George later when he got him alone. He was curious why George had asked Percy since it wasn't an extremely complex potion.

"I'm nowhere near as good with potions as Percy." George said with a smirk."The only other person I could ask is Hermione and she'd have never done it." He looked down. "She'd be likely to increase my hang over just to teach me a lesson." Charlie followed George's gaze to Ron. "Our Younger brother has picked himself someone just as bossy as Mum."

Charlie agreed from what he'd seen Hermione Granger was never one to back down when she was convinced she was right. As the night wore on, he found himself sitting alone. He'd never been overly fond of large groups and his brothers and their friends were having a good enough time without him. He noticed that Oliver and Percy had slipped away at some point. He was considering during the same when someone set down next to him. "Justin Finch-Fletchley it's a pleasure to meet you." The dark haired young man introduced himself.

Charlie spent the rest of the impromptu party talking with Justin. He was slightly annoyed when he learned Hannah Abbot was playing matchmaker for Justin. "So that's why she asked if I was gay." He said darkly.

"Hannah's just like that." Justin said as he took a drink. "Out of the blue one day in the middle of the common room she and Ernie asked me if I was gay." He laughed. "They said they just couldn't tell and I was the only guy as nuts about Lockhart as the girls in second year."

Charlie frowned. "Lockhart wasn't he that blowhard who took credit for others peoples work?" He thought he remembered Ron telling him about it after the fact. He saw Justin blush slightly.

"Yeah, He was a right old fraud." He laughed self consciously. "However, he was a good looking fraud." Charlie laughed and took another drink. As the night wore on he told Justin about some of the disastrous Defense against the dark arts teachers he'd had over his seven years. He saw George's friend Lee Jordan dancing on a table at one point. But the party was beginning to wine down as the bar's owners were shooting dark looks at the gathering.

After the party he was drunker than he usually allowed himself to get. So when Justin suggested they go back to his place he readily agreed forgetting his self imposed rule of never going home with anyone while visiting home.
