A/N: It's been a long while since I've posted anything on this site. Let's see how this goes down. Anyway, this was originally just supposed to be a drabble, so it's very short. I haven't written in a pretty long time, and this was mostly practice; i.e., not much happens. I didn't actually intend to post it originally, but I have been coerced, haha. And this is indeed a crackship. Enjoy?

prompt; going

pairing; one-sided Angelina/Charlie

GOING

Once she'd dropped her trunk off with her father, Angelina jogged after the red-haired young man who was heading towards his own family.

"So, you're leaving?" she asked him once she caught up: he'd stopped walking when he realized she was trying to catch him.

"Well, it is summer," Charlie replied, looking mildly confused.

"Obviously, but I mean… You're not coming back."

"Nope, I'm done. After seven years of education, it's time to throw myself into the real world. Scary thought, eh?"

"Ah… yeah."

"Something wrong?"

She hesitated, and then blurted out, "I'll miss you."

He gave her a smile. "You're sweet… I hadn't realized I made an impact."

"You're an amazing Seeker."

"I thought so, too," he chuckled. "I hope you'll keep up Quidditch, yourself, kid."

"Of course I will," she said, hiding her annoyance at being called a 'kid'. She wanted to be so much more than that in his eyes.

"I'm glad. You were always my favorite Chaser," he said the last bit in a whisper, leaning forward and winking. She momentarily forgot what they were discussing, but was brought back to Earth when he said, "Keep Fred and George out trouble for me, won't you? Percy'll have his hands full, what with him being the only big brother left at Hogwarts once I'm gone." Angelina smiled. "Ah, and my brother Ron's starting next year, too," Charlie said thoughtfully.

"Geez, how many siblings do you have?" she said before she could stop herself.

Charlie grinned at her. "Six in total." As she started doing the math, he added, "After Ron there's little Ginny. But surely one of us has mentioned her?"

"Fred did… I think."

"Well, I should hope so. She's a cute one, her, but she cries every year when we go off to school, begs Mum to let her go with us… You wait, once she starts she'll be faking Spattergroit to stay home…"

She giggled. "Oh, it's not that bad."

"Ahh, the Quidditch and friends are great, but most of the classes I could do without. Loads of homework for things I'll forget before the end of next year, no thanks. Well, that's not to say that all the classes were lame, of course, I'll always have very fond memories of—"

"—Care of Magical Creatures," she finished for him, "right."

He laughed. "Right." He glanced back towards his family, waiting by the car. "I'd better go before they get too impatient," he said, turning back to her.

She nodded sadly. "Okay."

"Maybe I'll see you around, yeah?"

She nodded again eagerly. "Will you write me occasionally?"

"I think I can manage that."

She smiled widely. "Good. I'll write you, too—I'll write you next week!"

He laughed again. "Sounds good."

Feeling happier about the departure, she gave him a cheerful, "Bye," before she left to her own father, who was also waiting a little impatiently. She turned and waved to him again, and he waved back before he climbed into his family's car with his brothers.

A/N: Ciao.

Edit; this was a multi-pairing drabble collection for a short while, but I've decided to post all of the fics separately.
