Summer's Come.
Disclaimer: Do I have to type the same sentence over and over again? Everyone knows I'm not J.K.R and I do not own Harry Potter and Friends right.
Last Time on Summer's Come:
For dinner Charlie had prepared his own version of spaghetti with meatballs. Who knew he was such a good cook? He's basically every girl's dream guy. Hermione thought.
Across the table Charlie and Harry were discussing quidditch when happened to glance at Hermione as she slurped up a forkful of the delicious pasta. He also noticed when she had some sauce on her lips and how she didn't even notice it. He felt like licking the sauce of for her. Holy Shit! Where did that came from! He quickly turned back to Harry hoping the younger man wouldn't notice that was turned he was turning as red as his hair.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
While Harry hadn't noticed Charlie's redness, he had however noticed that both Hermione and Charlie kept sneaking glances at each other. The last time he was sure he had heard Hermione mutter something about being perfect. Now even as he talked about his favorite sport in the world. If he was going to pull of his plan he was going to need the help of someone who was sneaky and cunning. Someone who had no problem lying. Someone who loved to set people up. He was going to need Ginny.
Chapter 4: Admit it…
Hermione lay on her bed unable to sleep. This always happened when she stayed in a new place. It always took her at a few days to get used to the new sleeping environment. She glanced at her bed side clock, it was 2 am. She sighed, giving up on getting any sleep. Switching on the light, she grabbed a book from her trunk she settled herself in the bed and stared reading. A few minutes later someone knocked on her door. She called for who ever it was to come in.
The door opened and Harry walked in carrying to cups of hot chocolate and a bag of junk food. "I saw your light on and figured you couldn't sleep, so I thought that maybe we could talk and pig out on junk food. What do you say?" he asked giving Hermione a hopeful smile.
"Sure, why not. Couldn't concentrate on the book anyways"
"Gasp! Bookwork Granger can't concentrate on a book?! This is a first. Do tell, what's on your mind" Harry said raising is eyebrows in interest.
Hermione swatted him. "Nothings' on my mind. Nothing that'll interest you anyway."
"Hey, my life so boring now that the war is over so I need to live through yours. And something that can keep you from reading is very very interesting! So what's going through your mind. Or should I say who." Harry said with a sly smile.
"Would you care to elaborate Mr. Potter? Or do I have to jinx it out of you?"
Harry laughed and explained. "It's just that this afternoon I realized something. And then this was again confirmed today at dinner." He grinned. "You like Charlie Weasley!!"
Hermione's jaw dropped down in shock. Was she that obvious? "W-what makes you say that?" She said hoping Harry wouldn't hear the nervousness that was creeping in to her voice.
Harry laughed gleefully knowing that it wouldn't be long till he got a confession from his friend. "Well, the way you've been sneaking looks at him and blushing like crazy so often was pretty much a dead give away"
Hermione turned red. If Harry had noticed did that mean Charlie also knew? O h god! Oh god! Oh god! Still she had to try and save her self. "It's just that I haven't seen him in a long time." Seeing the look id disbelief on Harry's face she added "Ok, so maybe I used to have a crush on him"
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" Harry exclaimed, practically jumping for joy. Hermione stared at him. "Umm. I sounded like a over excited girl didn't I?"
Hermione laughed "Pretty much, yeah."
"Sorry. It's just that I love being proven right. More so when its done by you. SO you gonna tell, him how you feel? Then maybe you could get some-"
"Harry!"
"Get someone for you was what I was going to say!"
"First of all that was not what you were going to say and secondly I said I used to have a crush on him. If you're gonna ask when it was, it was when we were in our fourth year and went for the world cup."
"Seriously? But isn't that when you and Krum were together?"
Hermione was tired of having to repeatedly remind Harry and Ron and everyone else in the world that "Krum and I were never together. He asked me to the Yule Ball and I said yes because no one else had asked me."
"Right. That's exactly why he asked you to come and spend the summer in Bulgaria."
"Well I turned him down didn't I?! Could you please stop questioning me on my ex-boyfriends?"
A evil grin appeared on Harry's face. "Fine. So tell me more about this crush you have on Charlie"
"Used to have! Get it right!"
"Yeah, yeah whatever. What is it about him that attracts, sorry attracted(this was sarcastically said) you to him?
"What are you? A 14 year old girl?" Upon Harry's hard stare she finally decided to give in. It's not like Charlie could hear what she was saying.
Little did the two best friends know that standing out side Hermione's room door someone was listening to every word of their conversation. Charlie had gotten up to get a glass of water when he heard the two of them talking. At first he thought of knocking on the door and joining them but then he heard his name being mentioned and thought it would be better if he stayed outside.
"Well, I dunno. Don't look at me like that! I guess its just a mixture of things about him. From what I've heard he's an exceptionally talented wizard and quidditch player." He heard Harry mummer something. "I do not only fall for quidditch players!!! Its nothing more than a coincidence."
Harry laughed so loudly that Charlie was sure the neighbors would hear it.
"Oh shut it Harry. Yes, I admit he's good looking also. Gawd, I think you should have been born as a girl instead of someone who saves all of man kind."
Charlie smiled to himself as he turned and walked to his room. So his little bro's best friend thought he was good looking eh. Well, Hermione wasn't bad herself. Her bushy brown hair was now (with the help of some professional stylist he was sure) more like curls than a frizzy hair. Tumbling curls that fell fast her shoulders. Shoulders that were attached to a beautiful face. And with that image in his mind Charlie fell asleep.
The next day Hermione found herself on her room floor next to Harry. Remembering all the talking they had done she smiled. Just like old times. Not wanting to disturb her best friend Hermione quietly slipped into the attach bathroom, took a quick shower, changed and headed downstairs for breakfast.
As she entered the kitchen she smelled something that delicious being cooked. Charlie was busy staring at the stove that he didn't notice Hermione come in.
"You stare at the stove and the smell of food being cooked is in the air. How do you do it?" She smiled. Startled Charlie jumped up only to find Hermione laughing at him.
"Good morning to you to. I was staring at the stove because I forgot where I put my wand and I don't know how to turn this damn thing off without magic"
This caused Hermione to laugh even more. "Glad I'm so amusing to you. Do you think you control yourself for a moment and help me?" Charlie pleaded.
Hermione walked up to the stove and turned the knob to switch it off. I turned back to Charlie to find him looking at her with a weird expression. "Late night?" he asked.
Hermione stared at him trying to prevent hr face from turning red. Charlie simply grinned "You don't look like you had enough sleep."
"Oh, um, yeah. I'm just not used to the place yet. So what's for breakfast?" she asked changing the subject.
"Bacon and Eggs. Come on and dig in." Charlie replied as he motioned for her to sit.
As Hermione and Charlie ate and talked, Harry stood at the kitchen entrance watching them. Noiselessly he turned to go back to his room to right a letter to his girlfriend.
