Graduation came to quickly. The three friends sat together smiling taking pictures in the back row knowing no one was paying attention to them. When Minerva called Rebecca's name she got up and skipped up the aisle and took a bow pointing her wand at the enchanted ceiling and watched as fireworks erupted everywhere. Happy with her accomplishment Rebecca skipped back to her seat and smiling at Tonks and Charlie. After the ceremony the graduates stood and clapped loudly. Charlie kissed her fully on the mouth and then he hugged Tonks kissing her cheek.
"Beck!" she turned and saw Kaley standing there.
"Hey Kay!" she noticed her niece "Hey Chloe. You look smashing!"
"Thanks Aunt Becky." Chloe said hugging her aunt.
"Gees girly stop growing!" Rebecca laughed.
"I'll try." Chloe said with a giggle.
"Beck come here my parents want a picture!" Tonks said pulling her best friend over.
"Hello Ted, Andi." Rebecca said with a smile.
"Hello Becca oh don't you look beautiful!" Andromeda gushed hugging her tightly. It seemed strange to Rebecca that Andromeda was the same age as her sister and had a child her age but she always shrugged it off. "Where's Nae?"
"She's somewhere around here. I think she was congratulating Professor Slughorn on his retirement."
"Oh I must go see him. Ted get lots of pictures." Andromeda instructed walking away.
"Yes dear." Ted smiled. Andromeda walked over to Renee who hugged her then talked her ear off about everything. "Alright girls lets take some pictures."
"Silly?" Tonks said sticking her tongue out while Rebecca pulled her nose up making herself look like a pig.
"Sassy?" Rebecca said striking a pose.
"Pouty." Tonks laughed sticking her bottom lip out.
"Crazy?" Charlie asked walking over staring at the two girls.
"Kisses!" The girls giggled each kissing Charlie's cheeks.
"Very good girls now just a group picture all smiles please." Ted said holding the camera up. The three friends wrapped their arms over their shoulders and smiled big. "Great guys. You two are coming by the house later right?"
"I'll try but the likely hood of getting past mum might be hard." Charlie said rubbing his neck.
"I'll be there. Mum and dad have a lot on their plate." Rebecca said "And you know no one will stick around to have dinner. So I'll be anywhere I'm welcomed."
"Well mum wants to take pictures as well." Charlie said taking Rebecca's hand and dragging her away.
"I'll see you later Dor!" Rebecca laughed as Charlie pulled her.
"Bye Becca!" Tonks said with a smile.
Over with the Weasley's Molly took a lot of pictures. Rebecca laughed "You know I think my face is stuck like this!"
"You look very cute with a smile stuck face." Charlie said with a smile.
"Yeah?" Rebecca said smiling brightly.
"Oh yeah." Charlie whispered kissing her lightly. Rebecca pushed him away and blushed.
"Char we're in front of your family."
"So?" Charlie asked going in for another kiss.
"So I think your mother is looking at us!" Rebecca hissed looking at Molly and blushing "Sorry."
"Oh no dear its alright. Now Rebecca what are your plans?"
"I want to be a healer. I've had offers at Mungo's, Roma's, and St. Bart's in California."
"CALIWHAT?!" Charlie bellowed.
Rebecca cringed "Its just an offer Char. I haven't accepted anything."
"Why didn't you come talk to me?!" Charlie asked his voice dangerously low.
"Because I didn't think it was pressing!" Rebecca said her voice hot with anger.
"Didn't think it was pressing?! I'm your bloody boyfriend!"
"So I don't have to tell you everything! I was thinking about going to St. Roma's and being near you but now I'm not so sure if I want to be near a big fat, arrogant, clingy, arsehole, who only thinks of himself. You and your Quidditch and your fucking ego!" she screeched. By now they had drawn a bit of a crowd. Several people were appalled at the way Rebecca was talking but she didn't care.
"Oh yeah cause that's so much better than being a whiny bitch." Charlie snapped. He knew he had gone to far but he didn't care. Rebecca's face dropped and she closed her eyes tightly.
"What?" Rebecca said opening her eyes.
"I…sorry." Charlie said blushing deeply.
"Charlie do you really think I'm a whiny bitch?"
"Nah I was just angry." Charlie said pulling her close.
"I'm still angry at you." She said shoving him away. "You called me a bitch."
"You called me an arrogant egotistical arsehole."
"Yeah so?"
"So most people don't call their boyfriends arrogant egotistical arseholes."
"Most boyfriends don't call their girlfriends bitches and yet here we are arguing over that very thing." Rebecca glared.
"I'm sorry."
"You keep saying that but how do I know you mean it?"
"By this." Charlie pulled her close again and kissed her deeply running his tongue along her bottom lip. Rebecca moaned and parted her lips some so his tongue could enter her mouth.
"Mummy what is Charlie doing to Becky?" 9 year old Ginny asked.
"He's snogging the hell out of her!" Bill laughed along with Fred and George.
"William Arthur Weasley!" Molly bellowed smacking him upside the head.
"Ow mum!" Bill put a hand to the back of his head.
Rebecca broke the kiss and hugged Charlie. "Promise not to forget me."
"I promise." Charlie smiled kissing her forehead.
That night Rebecca sat in her room in the summer cottage stared at the mirror. "He leaves in 13 hours." she said to no one in particular.
"It'll be ok Becca." Kaley said walking into the bedroom.
"How do you know?"
"Easy. He loves you. I can see it in his eyes."
"I wish I knew that for sure."
"Well then look out the window, Prince Charming is right outside."
Rebecca looked at her sister then hurried to the window and opened it. Sure enough standing below was Charlie Weasley. "Charlie what are you doing?"
Charlie smiled up at her and cleared his throat. "Rapunzel, Rapunzel with hair so fine. Come out your window, climb down the vine."
Rebecca looked at him then smiled "The feat you ask, dear sir, isn't easy. And I won't respond to that line it's far to cheesy." she smiled and pulled her head back in.
"What does he want?"
"He wants me to climb down the vine."
"So go. I'll cover for you."
Rebecca smiled and grabbed her sweater and climbed out the window and shimmied down the vine. "Hello." she said when she reached the bottom and fell ontop of Charlie.
"Hi." he laughed. The two ran off hand in hand smiling. Charlie led her to the nearby lake and showed her a blanket.
"What are your intentions Mr. Weasley?"
"To ravish my girlfriend one last time before I leave for Romania." Charlie said pulling Rebecca close and kissing her neck. Rebecca moaned and turned her neck giving him more access.
"Charlie?"
"Mmmm?"
"Promise will be together forever."
"Forever is a long time." Charlie muttered nibbling at her collar bone.
"Yes it is but I'm not the type of girl who sleeps around." Rebecca said "I want to have sex with one guy for the rest of my life."
"Huh?" Charlie pulled away and looked at her.
"I mean it Charlie if you have no intentions of marrying me then I cannot sleep with you."
"We've done this before Beck."
"Yes but never have we gone all the way."
"We said we were waiting for the perfect moment." Charlie said with a shrug.
"This doesn't feel like that moment. It feels rushed because you're leaving."
"I'm confused."
"Do. You. Love. Me." Rebecca spelled out slowly.
"Of course I do."
"Do you want to me marry me?"
"Possibly."
"Possibly?"
Charlie realized he said something wrong "Well I mean....what do I mean?" he asked himself only out loud.
"You don't even know? Am I just a shag to you then?"
"What?"
"Do you just want me as some little toy?"
"I don't need to deal with this." Charlie said looking at her.
"Your doing it again."
"Doing what?"
"We argue and you walk away."
Charlie looked at her "I'm leaving in the morning."
"I know."
"So where does that leave us?"
"You tell me. You're the one walking." Rebecca said walking to the edge of the lake.
"Now who's walking?" Charlie bellowed.
"I'm not walking away from you. I'm walking away from this." she made a motion between them "I don't want to argue anymore."
"Then don't argue just stay."
"I'm taking the position in California."
"Over all this?"
"I think we need time."
"What?" Charlie couldn't believe his ears.
"I need time Charlie." Rebecca bit back tears and kissed his cheek "Bye." she said running through the trees towards home leaving Charlie completely stunned and utterly confused. Rebecca reached the cottage and fell to her knees sobbing uncontrollably.
