Sorry I can't update faster, and it's gonna be a while yet befre my next update!

About 15 minutes later Hermione appeared beside Charlie with her hair pulled into a wet bun, strands sticking out here and there. She had on a white jean skirt and a pale blue tank-top, with a silver chain around her neck. Charlie couldn't believe how beautiful she looked, especially for only using 15 minutes to get ready. All the girls he knew took at least that much time to apply only their make-up. He looked at her face and smiled, even without the little bit of eyeshadow and lip gloss she had on now, she would have looked beautiful.
"Sorry, I wanted to shower after flooing yesterday I had to," he was shaken out of his thoughts when she started talking. They began walking down the street. "And then when I went to tell my parents we were going for a walk I had to wait for them to stop argueing. My mom's pretty upset about last night…" she trailed off with an angered look on her face. "Serves them right."
"They were just being protective…"
"But that was a little over protective don't you think."
"Well maybe a bit, but they don't want you to get hurt. And they don't believe me when I say I would never hurt you." She smiled slightly at him and leaned against his side as they walked. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her close. A few clouds were forming in the sky.
"What did they ask you last night?" she asked looking up at him, he smiled and licked his lips slightly.
"Oh nothing really." She had that look.
"Charlie Weasley…"
"Well that was there first question…What was my full name." When she looked questioningly at him he continued. "In case I planned on marrying you, they didn't want you to have a crummy last name." She started laughing. "Hey I happen to like my last name!"
"Oh yes Char, It's very nice…especially when it's written on the back of my p.j.'s."
He rose his eyebrows, "That was another thing, nicknames, they forbid me from calling you Mione."
"Don't listen to them, I like when you call me Mione, its better then Hermy." They both chuckled at this. Ron, Harry, and Hermione had filled Charlie in on Grawp after Dumbledors death. "What else did they ask? Previous girlfriends? Any kids? Possibility of you murdering me in my sleep?" He laughed.
"They didn't get to the last one, but I'm pretty sure it would have come up eventually."
"They really asked you about that stuff…geez, they asked you if you have any kids? Have they never heard of a little thing called privacy?" she shook her head. "You know, I think they did the same thing to Krum when he came over for a weekend once. He hadn't kissd me yet, but he was even more distant with me after that." Charlie nodded.
"They can be pretty intimidating. Especially when you know that your father is on their side." They had reached a park and Hermione headed straight for the swings. She sat down as Charlie continued telling her his story from the previous night. He gently pushed the swing and then climbed on the one beside her as he finished his story. He got himself into the air and the two challenged each other to see who could swing the highest. Hermione won.
"You really are the best at everything," Charlie laughed as the swings slowed so they could sit side by side and talk. Hermione started the conversation with the exact same thought as Charlie.
"Char…"
"Hmm"
"I've been wondering for a while now, ever since yesterday, when it really hit me. What will happen when summer's over? Did you really mean what you said yesterday before Tim got here? Do you think a long distance relationship will work?"
He was quiet for a moment looking out over the park as the clouds started to darken the sky. After a while he spoke slowly and quietly. "Mione I love you…I really do," he turned to face her, "and I will do anything in my power to make our relationship work." He saw a tear roll down her cheek and he wiped it away.
"I know Charlie, I love you too…but are you so sure we can do it? I mean you hardly see your family anymore, now I'm going to hardly see you. I don't know if I can do it." She got off the swing and walked over to a nearby tree, Charlie followed and pulled her into a backwards hug, pulling her back into his chest and resting his head on her shoulder. She was crying.
"Hermione, I can make this work, I swear, I'll write every day, and whenever I can get a couple days off I'll come home for a bit, although I think you should get your own place and I'll go there, then my mom won't know I'm home." They both chuckled lightly. "And maybe if you have some time off or something, I don't know if you got a job anywhere yet, but maybe you can come visit me, I'll pay for the portkey, and I'll arrange it. We can make it work. I swear we can. As long as you want it to." She turned around and leaned into him crying.
"Of course I want it to work! Why wouldn't I? This is the best thing that's happened to me. You're the nicest guy I've met. It's just, it's going to be hard."
"Of course it'll be hard, life's hard, you of all people should know that. But last I checked, Gryffindors don't back down from challenges. In fact, the last time I checked, Hermione Granger never backed down from a challenge." She smiled up at him.
"I never do." They stood in silence for a while just looking into each others eyes, Charlie kissed her softly and she buried her face in his neck. They stood there for a few minutes before Hermione spoke up again. "We have to plan something to get back at my brothers. After what they did last night, I can't believe that."
"I saw we find a large stick and you can beat 'em with it."
"Char-lie!" She laughed. He smiled, he loved it.
"What? I think it's a good idea, either that or you can poke them with it."
She laughed but suddenly stopped. Charlie looked her in her tinkling eyes as her smile broadened. Uh oh. "Ok, what brilliant idea do you have now?"
She only smiled as she pulled something out of her pocket, when Charlie looked at it questioningly she smiled, "Cell Phone" she hit a few buttons put it to her face and started talking after a minute.
"Hello? Holly? It's Hermione…I'm good thanks, How are you?" She continued to talk but as she was walking away Charlie couldn't hear exactly what she was saying, he heard her talk a bit about last night, but he didn't want to interrupt like he did with Scotty's email last night. As Hermione came bck over she said, "Ok, see you then!" She closed the ohine just as it started to rain. "come on Char, we better get back, I didn't realize how late it was…we've been here for almost five hours."
"Do you want to stop someplace to eat?"
"Sure! But lets hurry, I'm getting cold." He swung his sweater over her shoulders as they hurried to a nearby complex. "Maybe we can stop in the stores after and see if there's anything you think you're family might like…or your dad anyways." They chuckled.
A few hours after they finished eating, they returned to the Granger's house. As they walked in the kitchen, dripping wet, Mr. Granger rose from the table. Mrs. Granger just looked apologetically at her daughter before busying herself with dinner preparations.
"Ok, while you were gone, we have come up with a few…house rules…that I believe should be followed at all times. Scotty and Tim agree with me." He looked at Charlie but Hermione had already pushed past her father to look at the large piece of paper spread out on the kitchen table.
"What is all..." she trailed off as the doorbell rang. Her eyes brightened and she grinned as she ran to answer it. When she came back in she wasn't alone. Charlie looked at the girl who was beside her. She had long brown hair, but not real long that it's a super pain. Her eyes were a nice shade of blue and she was kind of short, just slightly taller then Hermione. You could tell that she was about the same age, grant a year, maybe two.
"Holly!" Scotty said surprised as he came around the table, he lean in and pecked her on the lips…Hermione made a vomiting gesture behind her back and Scotty tried to smack her. Hermione just backed up slightly.
"Oh! Charlie, this is my friend, and Scotty's girlfriend, Holly! Holly, this is my boyfriend Charlie."
"So this is Charlie huh? Hermione's told me a fair bit about you over the last, what, two days?" the girls chuckled and Scotty looked nervously at his sister, she was planning something.
"Oh mom, is it ok if Holly stays for dinner?"
"Of course Hermione."
"Ok, great!"
"Yea, that's great, we'll look at this stuff later," Scotty said as him and Tim started rolling up the paper on the table.
"Why not look at it now? If it's house rules, then I think Holly can look at it too, I mean, her and I grew up together, and she's been going out with Scotty for what, two years now?" Scotty's eyes widened as Hermione unrolled the paper, her eyes sparkleing more and more as she looked at the list before her. "Come on over Charlie, Holly, let's see what my father and brothers have come up with." As Charlie sat down beside her he looked at her face again, her eyes were twinkling and she had on a cheshire grin as she looked at Holly's quizzical look at Scotty. This was going to be fun.
