A/N: Prompt number 27 from Lamenting Quill's Prompt Table. 'Tis Pain, and Charlie/Hermione.
Suffer
::An Interlude: Watched::
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
~~Bertrand Russell
Somewhere along the lines, he began to blur out of focus. No longer is he a shadowy figure called upon only in their time of need. He has substance, he matters now.
He's one of the Weasley's; a well known one, too, not one of the many cousins. 'is brother died fighting alongside 'arry Potter, don'tcha know!
And yet what nobody knows is how when he smiles, there's a dimple above the right corner of his mouth, or how his eyes flash dangerously when it so much as seems as if someone is threatening his family- which, in the women's case, means someone is making a pass at them.
Hermione has seen all of this, and she feels that she truly knows Charlie Weasley. But that's a lie; she doesn't know about how he has watched her fall apart, seen his family crumble, had to live with the notion that he's alive and his brother is not.
The war that they had to go through killed them all. Yes, they are alive, but something inside them will forever be missing, not only because of there fallen brother, but for others as well- for Teddy Lupin, now an orphan, for the Creevey family, and for countless others.
But for all of the suffering they have gone through, she knows good times are coming.
She has Charlie now, after all.
A/N: Just a few more chapters, I believe, and then we're done. Yaaay.
