To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.

10th March 1989

Charlie Weasley, for the first time in his life, did not know what to do. Now, for those who knew Charlie Weasley, this was a first. Although he never planned anything, Charlie usually managed to make the most of a situation, and pull everything out of the bag at the last minute. Now, however, was not one of these moments. Laying in front of him, was an unconscious girl. To most people, this would be a simple thing to fix, you would check to see if the girl was alright, and take her to someone who could care for her. However, when this girl hated your guts, it tends to make things a bit harder. Especially when a few days previous, you accidentally knocked her off her broom, causing her to be unconscious for the entire weekend. Needless to say, Charlie was faced with quite a big problem.

It also didn't help when said boy had one of the biggest crushes on the girl. Yes, you heard it, Charlie Weasley fancied Annie Ainsworth. It was quite a well-kept secret, the only person Charlie had told was his older brother, Bill, who had managed to force out of him. Because of this, when Bill was told he had to pair up prefects from opposite houses, he purposely put Charlie and Annie together. However, this wasn't the problem. The problem was that Annie hated Charlie. The whole Hogwarts population knew that. That hate was now amplified by the Quidditch match. Charlie found himself on the wrong end of vicious, Hufflepuff oriented comments after her landed their seeker in the Hospital Wing. Annie was one of the most well liked Hufflepuffs so that put him in a bad position. And in the bad books with his Mum. That was why Bill had prevent him from going over to talk to Annie on Monday morning. Bill was being the typical older brother, helping at the times where Charlie least needed help. Where was Bill when Charlie faced an inner conflicting battle after the first transfiguration lesson? Oh, how Charlie wished he could turn the clock back, so that lesson never happened. That day hadn't been a good day for Charlie. He and Bill had a massive argument over something small and trivial, leading to Charlie snapping at Annie, firing Annie's burning hate towards him.

This, however, was Charlie's chance of redemption. Very carefully, he scooped up Annie in his arms, positioning her so that she would be comfy. Not that it matter's, he thought. She's unconscious anyway. They were quite close to the Hospital Tower, meaning that Charlie didn't have far to carry Annie. Not that he couldn't manage. Annie seemed lighter than one of the twins by themselves. There weren't many students around so Charlie managed to get to the Hospital Wing quickly.
The Hospital Wing was mostly empty, with the exception of a few younger years who were recovering from cold.

"Madam Pomfrey!" Charlie called. The Matron soon came bustling out of her office, bottle of medicine in hand. When she saw Charlie holding the unconscious Annie, she nearly dropped it.

"My goodness! What happened?" She asked putting the medicine down.

"Tripped on the Vanishing step and hit her head. And she said she had a really bad headache before she did." Charlie replied, shifting Annie's weight from one arm to another.

"Ok, put her down on that bed over there." Madam Pomfrey said, pointing to a bed. Charlie nodded, and gently place her on the bed. The Matron hurried round, gathering numerous potions.

"Out you go. I can't have you hanging round. I'll give you a shout when she wakes up."
Reluctantly, Charlie nodded and left the room.
