It was Charlie Weasley's third year at Hogwarts. Gryffindor had just the Qudditch game Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff. The Gryffindor common room was going to be packed with celebrations which Charlie wasn't in the mood for. All he wanted was to lie down somewhere quiet. Somewhere where the noise wouldn't disturb him. Where could he go that was quiet and he was liked? Not another common room, that was certain. Before he knew it, he had collapsed in the corridor.
One hour later
Charlie woke to find someone shaking his shoulder. A girl with blonde hair. She had concern in her eyes (which were bright green). It took him a minute to work out who it was- fellow third year, Nymphadora Tonks. They'd met briefly on the Hogwarts express in their first year, he hadn't seen or spoken to her properly since then.
"Hey, Charlie! You okay? It is Charlie, isn't it?"
"Yeah, and yeah I'm fine thanks. How are you? I haven't seen you since our First Year." She raised her eyebrows and smirked.
"I should be the one asking if you're okay, not the other way round! Now, where's the Gryffindor common room. You need to get back and rest." They walked all the way to the seventh floor, sharing stories. He told her how he had five brothers and a baby sister. In turn, she told him how she was an only child and the niece of Death Eaters- Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange and also Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, who were being searched. She hated everyone in her extended family because of their pure-blood maninia. At last they reached the end of the seventh floor corridor and turned to each other by the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Do you want to come in?" Charlie asked her. It was a long way back to the Hufflepuff common room. He'd been told it was by the kitchens which was the other end of the castle. She looked at the Fat Lady, then at him.
"I don't think I'd be liked in there at the moment. See ya!" With that she turned and walked back down the stairs. Charlie watched her go. It was weird that in his third year, he was still making new friends!
"Password?" he Fat Lady asked him. He looked at her, still with a grin on his face.
"Audax" He told her. The door swung open and he entered the common room ( which at the moment had lot's of party banners and party food. There were loads of people all down with their pumpkin juices. Charlie's eyes scanned the room, he was looking for one particular person- his brother, Bill. After a minute of scanning, Charlie saw him. He was sat down with some of his friends. Bill noticed Charlie and beconned him to come and sit with them. Bill turned his attention on to his younger brother,
"So, Charlie, where have you been all this time?"
"Well, I've made a new friend. " Charlie told his older brother, who looked up at him and smiled broadly.
