"We will never be over."

Bill took her by the hand and led her upstairs, the smile still remaining on both their faces after their embrace. Slowly pushing the door to his room open, Bill ushered Hermione in, looking to the second bed in the room she saw Charlie fast asleep. Her smile changed to a frown as she turned to face Bill.

"I'm not sure this is a good idea, Charlie might wake up."

"Relax love, that wasn't my intention. Last time we didn't get to wake up together. This time I'd like to wake with you in my arms. If that's alright with you of course."

A faint smile returned to Hermione's lips as she nodded making her way to his bed. "Of course."

They climbed in and Hermione rested into the crook of Bill's neck, he wrapped his arm protectively around her, pulling her closer to his side. They talked for hours about what had transpired over the last year, Hermione divulging exactly what Harry had gone through and the fact most of their classmates were in themselves somewhat scarred at finding out that their new favourite teacher was in fact, a convicted Death Eater and not the man and hero they thought him to be.

Hermione fell asleep first, still wrapped in Bill's embrace, carefully, watching not to wake her he began playing with the curls that had fallen across her face, wondering to himself if it was smart to fall for such a young witch, despite how incredibly talented she is. His mind wandered to his family and their reactions, to his little brother Ron, who obviously harboured a small crush towards the brightest witch of her age. How would they overcome the odds? Bill fell asleep with worry in his heart, clinging tighter to the girl in his arms.

The sun's rays shone delicately through the window in Bill and Charlie's room, coming to rest on Hermione's face. She had not wanted to wake Bill just yet so she lay there in his arms waiting for signs of movement. It was Charlie however who she heard first and upon hearing his tone, kept her eyes shut tight and feigned sleep.

"Are you fucking joking me Bill? Like honestly are you having a laugh?" Charlie's tone was harsher than Hermione had expected.

"Will you keep it down mate, she's still sleeping." Bill replied his voice hushed as he ran a hand through her hair. "Nothing happened Charlie I swear."

"Bill, she's in your bed, you expect me to believe that nothing happened between the two of you."

"Yes Charlie I do, it's, and it's more than what you think. Charlie, I think I might be falling in love with her." His voice sweet as he looked down at her face, she could feel his eyes on her.

"Are you barking mad?! Everyone and I do mean everyone is going to pitch a fit over this, you're aware of that right mate? And to top it off you choose now to be all open about it! Ginny is going to wake up, if she hasn't already, and realise Hermione isn't there. Then what?"

"Then we deal with it, if she'll have. Charlie listen to me brother, it's worth it, she is worth it. I have never felt more whole and complete in my entire life as I did when I woke up this morning with her in my arms."

Hermione was about to open her eyes and tell Bill that she was falling for him too when the door swung open and Ginny walked through her eyes scanning the room,

"Bill, Charlie, have you guys seen Hermi…. What the bloody hell is going on."

A/N: SURPRISE! For some reason this story just speaks to me. I have been meaning to update for so long but wanted to have something good for you. This has turned into so much more than the one shot I had originally planned but as long as you all are still loving it as I am then I will keep writing for you.
