Charlie/Hermione

Not Long Now

1/1

-

It was here somewhere, Hermione may be many things, but hiding things, keeping secrets was not her strongest quality. He could see her struggling, she wanted to give it to him now. Whatever she had gotten him for Christmas, she desperately wanted to give it to him, much to his annoyance though she was resisting.

Charlie however couldn't, he wanted it now, and if he couldn't have it now, then he at least wanted to know what it was. He gave her fifteen minutes to make sure she wasn't coming back, she had left to go do some last minute Christmas shopping, and he was alone in their flat. Perfect time to find it, he started searching all the obscure little nooks and crannies. Hermione had hidden it well, after looking were he didn't think she would hide it, he started looking in the obvious places. The places you would never leave a present, the cupboard under the kitchen sink, behind the sofa, even underneath their bed. He couldn't find it.

Maybe she hadn't left it here? He thought as he sank onto the sofa, she could have just given it to Ginny or someone for safekeeping, knowing he was much like a big kid and wouldn't be able to resist. Charlie twirled his wand between his fingers, a smile growing across his face as he came to realise something.

He was a Wizard, a simple incantation, and if the present was here, it would be in his hands.

"Accio Charlie's present," he said clearly. Grinning as a rather large box came zooming down the hall, placing it onto his lap eagerly. Lifting the lid off gently, he pulled out some tissue paper, and found an envelope in the bottom. His name was written on it in Hermione's distinctive handwriting. Opening it carefully, he pulled out a folded piece of paper, laughing as he read it.

"Clever Charlie, I'm not this stupid. Do you really think I'd leave it here? You'll just have to wait, my dear impatient love."

Not long now, only three sleeps to go.
