Charlie was finishing up with the dragons when he saw a familiar figure making his way towards him. As he got closer Charlie realized that the man dressed in black jeans, black dragon scaled boots, black t-shirt, and wild red hair was none other than Bill. "Bill? What are you doing here?" Charlie asked as he finished locking the gate of the baby dragons pen.
"What, I can't come see my baby brother?" Charlie rolled his eyes and started over to Bill.
"No, but I know you. What are you doing here?" Charlie asked as the two started walking.
"Well, Fleur wanted-
"Oh Merlin please tell me she's not with Remedy." Bill rolled his eyes this time and looked at Charlie.
"Relax, they're just girl talking. I made sure to make her promise to not tell her about you or your feelings." I gave Bill a look.
"This is Fleur we're talking about. Biggest match maker we know. She'll do anything to get Remedy and I together." Bill gave a careless shrug and looked forward.
"Don't see the problem in that. Where we going?"
"To my house. And I do see the problem in that, Bill. I don't want Fleur to force me on her. I'm trying to ease her into a relationship with me." Bill rolled his eyes and looked at me.
"Charlie, you're crazy about this girl. Just let Fleur do her thing. Now come on, I haven't seen you in forever, not counting when you came for advice. Let's go and get a butterbeer and catch up." Charlie sighed, but didn't argue as the two headed for the small home on the reservation.
...
Fleur surprised Remedy with a visit and the two were now sitting and reading the secret admirer's letters. "Wow." Fleur said in French. "These are amazing. He's so... well breath taking. Have you figured out who wrote these yet?"
"No, not yet. I don't know if I want to ruin the mystery of it yet, though." Remedy replied back in French.
"I don't blame you, but forget about these letters for now. Any cute guy on the reservation?" Remedy laughed and looked at her best friend. Fleur became like a sister to her. She couldn't hide anything from her, so with a sigh she begin to tell Fleur about Charlie.
"Well, there's Charlie..." Remedy began hesitantly.
"My brother-in-law Charlie?" Fleur asked, faking shock and confusion.
"Yeah." Remedy sighed. "He started off a jerk. Called me short and flirted with me ridiculously." Fleur laughed, Bill nor Charlie never mentioned this.
"That's Charlie." Fleur told her. "He's always flirting with girls and teasing them, but he means nothing by it." Remedy gave her a confused look. "Charlie is a very sweet guy. He's always looking out for everyone else. He flirts and charms girls, but that's just who he is. He's just has a charming personality. He grew up with four younger brothers and older one plus a little sister. He's always teasing people and joking around. His flirting is just his way of teasing." Remedy was shocked with this information.
"Really?"
"Yeah, he's actually haven't been with a woman in years. At least from Bill tells me and Bill's his best friend."
"Why hasn't he been with another woman?" Remedy asked confused.
"He says it's because he wants to meet the one. I think it's cute. He sleeps with a girl once in awhile when he needs to, but he doesn't want to date some girl. He wants to meet the one, you know. He believes that there's one girl out there that he belongs with. I think it's sweet, but his mother..." Fleur sighed. "She just wants him to marry already and have some grandchildren." Remedy raised an eyebrow.
"Really?" She questioned.
"Yup. His mom just wants Charlie to be happy and she feels like if Charlie met a nice girl and settled down that he'd be happy. She just doesn't understand that Charlie wants that, but with the right girl." Remedy nod. "Isn't that what you want too? To meet a great guy and have a family?" Remedy frown and looked away from Fleur.
"You know I can't, Fleur." Remedy whispered in a broken voice.
"You're father did, your brother is engaged to my daughter. You can do what they did." Remedy turned and looked at Fleur.
"Fleur my mother died from giving birth to me, from being with my father. My father died and so did his new wife. I-
"None of that was because of being a werewolf. Your mother got sick, she couldn't handle the birth. She refused to have give the pregnancy up. Your father and Tonks fought in the war because they believed that they needed to stop Lord Voldemort. They were doing something greater than themselves. They died fighting for a future for their children. They wouldn't want you to isolate yourself, Remi. I love you more than anything, but you need to find happiness." Tears ran down Remedy face.
"What am I supposed to do, Fleur. Find a guy that actually accepts being a werewolf and have a family together? Life isn't that simple." Fleur sighed and pulled Remi into her arms.
"You already have a guy madly in love with you."
"He doesn't know me. He just-
"Honey." Fleur pulled away and looked at Remi. "You have stop pushing people way. Give them a chance. Start with Charlie. You obviously like him. Give him a chance. See where it goes." Remi shook her head.
"You said so yourself, He doesn't date people and-
"Charlie likes you." Fleur blurted out and Remi's eyes widen. "I know it sounds crazy, but it's the truth. He likes you. He told Bill he was crazy about you." Remi's eyes widen even more.
"The cards... the gifts.. the compliments. You told him I liked all that didn't you." Fleur sighed.
"I told him what you liked not what to do. Everything he said and did was because he was crazy about you, Remi. Give him a chance. He's trying so hard to get your attention. Just give him a chance." Remi sighed and looked at Fleur.
"Will he hurt me?" Fleur smiled.
"Never. He's a big teddy bear. Tough and rugged on the outside, but soft and mushy in the inside." Remi laughed and smiled at Fleur's words. "Most of all he's really sweet and understanding. He will accept you, Rem if you just give him the chance." Remi sighed and closed her eyes.
"Okay."
