Top Ten Reasons Why Weddings Should Be Avoided

By: Charlie Weasley

1: You have to find a date.

2: You have to find a DECENT date.

3: The date must be approved by mum and the rest of the bloody family.

4: You first have to persuade your date to go with you.

5: You have to repay your date in some way for making her go with you.

6: The time that is spent making up a believable story to tell your parents.

7: You may get into uncomfortable situations with your date that might be unavoidable.

8: Your family may become extremely attached to your date.

I just thought we should see the list as it is before we move on.

Top Ten Reasons Why Weddings Should be Avoided

Chapter 10

When Elinor woke up, she found herself rather comfortable. She kept her eyes shut trying to sleep again. She couldn't believe how comfortable and warm an airplane chair was. Elinor opened her eyes immediately, she looked up and found herself looking at the sleeping face of Charlie. Elinor instictively pulled away. The sudden movement woke Charlie up.

"Oh... hello Elinor," Charlie said with a yawn. "Had a nice nap?"

Elinor only nodded.

"Good," Charlie said. He looked at his watch. "We have about 30 minutes until we arrive."

"Great, that gives me time to tell you about my family." Elinor looked over at the elderly lady. She was fast a sleep in her chair and she didn't seem like she was going to wake up anytime soon. "Where should I start?"

"Start with the sister that's getting married," Charlie said.

"Beth..." Elinor's expression hardened. "Beth is shallow, a snob, and only cares about climbing the social ladder. She's pretty and blonde, and she's a bitch."

Charlie was stunned. "Is there any good qualities about her?"

"She can order people around very well," Elinor replied. "Stephen Wing is the son of my fathers business partner. I have no doubt that my mother set that one up. Stephen is a snob as well and is only looking for a wife to show off. He is a graduate from Yale and will someday take over the business my father and his father started."

"I'm beginning to like your family already," Charlie teased.

Elinor rolled her eyes. "My mom does not like that I'm a... well, you know what... and so she treats me differently. I'm an outcast to her unless I marry Paul Pennet. Paul Pennet comes from a rich family as well and also graduated from Yale. He and Stephen are good friends."

"He's the reason I'm coming in the first place right?" Charlie asked.

"He's one of the reasons yes but not all of them. In the society my family lives in, if you do not have prospects of marrying by the age of twenty then they just give you these dirty or pathetic looks. One of the reasons I'm bringing you is to show that I am worthy of marriage and of a husband."

Charlie frowned. "They know that it isn't, like, the 1700's right?"

"I know, that's what I always ask myself. My father is a completely different matter. My father is actually okay with the idea of me being who I am. He is not happy about it, but he accepts it,so with my dad you're okay. Then there's my brother..."

"You have a brother?"

"Yeah, just one. His name is Andrew, after my father. He is the oldest and more troublesome than I am. He has a drinking and a partying problem. My mother doesn't talk about him much, but he'll be there and he and I get along great." Elinor and Charlie talked more about her family until an airplane attendant told them that they would be landing shortly. By that time the old lady was awake and Charlie prepared himself for the descent.

After they had descended and got their bags, they went to the entrance of the airport to meet Elinor's family. Charlie took a deep breath as they headed out the door. Outside there were three people outside.

The man was about Charlie's height, he looked as if at one time he was a well built man but seemed to let himself go over the years. Charlie knew where Elinor got her red hair from. The woman was tall as well. She was very skinny and was dressed in the finest clothes. She had blonde hair. She gave everyone a disaprooving look that passed her by. The other man was about his fathers height as well, built and very handsome. He too had red hair.

"Elli," said the red haired man.

"Andy!" Elinor replied happily. Elinor put down her bags and ran to Andy flinging her arms around him once she got to him.

"Andrew, Elinor! Not in public, please, act civilized." Said the woman whom Charlie assumed to be Mrs. Harris.

"Hi mom, hi dad." Elinor responded. Her father smiled and gave her a hug as well.

"Well, Elinor, are you going to introduce us to your friend?" Her mother said, taking a look at Charlie.

Elinor went back to Charlie and grabbed his hand. She brought him closer to her family. "Mom, Dad, Andy... this is Charlie Weasley."

"Nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Harris, and Andy." Charlie replied giving them a smile.

Mrs. Harris gave Charlie a dissaprooving look. "I remember you and your family. Your mother gave me a talk about how I should be more supportive for my daughter."

"Nice to meet you Charlie," said Andy. "You've been taking care of our Elli well, hopefully."

"Oh, Andy, I hardly need taking care of," Elinor said rolling her eyes. Andy just shrugged.

"Where's Beth?" Asked Elinor.

"She's getting some finishing touches done on her dress. We're going there now to meet her," replied Mrs. Harris. "Andy, grab their bags will you?" Mrs. Harris turned the other way and started heading for the car.

"Don't worry," said Mr. Harris to Charlie. "You'll get used to her." Mr. Harris then went to his wife's side and followed her to the car.

Andy helped Elinor with her things and Charlie took care of himself. "Man," said Andy. "This is going to be one long week." Charlie couldn't help but think he was right.
