Chapter fourteen

The first week time seemed to fly by for Harry, he loved everything about the job, and even though he was only learning, he still loved it. Training was fun even though he took it seriously and was able to keep up with the other two aurors that were there and had years of experience. The two men, Greg Phillips and Gary Gates were surprised and impressed with Harry. They knew of course he'd gone up against Voldemort and death eaters, but he spell casting was precise and fast and not once did he miss his target or get hit. They explained to Gawain how good Harry was and thought he wouldn't take the usual amount of time before he was fully trained.

Harry and Charlie had settled into living together. At first they weren't sure how they would go, but they got on well, if either of them needed space they were able to get it and Harry wasn't wearing Charlie out as much now he was working as well. The papers were full of stories of Harry being gay and with Charlie, but so far it only seemed to upset Ron and Hermione, everyone else was fine. Harry was getting a lot of letters from his friends, some saying they suspected, but never wanted to say anything as they weren't sure how Harry would take it. They couldn't wait to meet Charlie properly which most of them had never done before now. Ginny visited the house and told her about her date with Seamus and how much fun they had together. Harry, Charlie and Ginny were happy they could stay friends and close as well, so she loved to visit a lot.

Molly Weasley had started to want a regular dinner with her family, everyone understood, after losing Fred, she wanted her children around her as much as possible. So Harry and Charlie had finished showering and were dressing ready to head to the Burrow.

'You really look good now babe, you've filled out since you're eating regularly and also wearing decent clothes makes you look better. With training though, it's also let you build your body a bit, so you look good.'

'As long as you like the way I look Charlie, that's all that matters to me,' Harry finished doing up his shirt and looked up, he saw Charlie gazing at him, 'What?'

'Nothing, it's just hard to believe it sometimes, you and me, not to mention we're serious.'

'You don't regret it, do you?'

'No Harry,' Charlie slipped his arms around Harry's waist, 'I love you and us, I never thought I'd ever get into a serious relationship. Some of my friends would say I would when I met the right person, I never believed them, but I realised how right they were. I was just waiting for you all this time,' Charlie bent down and kissed Harry tenderly.

Harry smiled, 'You can say the nicest things sometimes Charlie. We're going to be okay, aren't we?' Harry put his head against Charlie's muscly chest.

'Yes, we are. I'll admit I was worried at first, you know, with Ron and Hermione, how you would react if they didn't accept us.'

Harry looked up, 'They might be my friends Charlie, but I love you and I'm not letting anyone try to ruin this for us or make us feel bad. I've done so much for others all my life, this time I'm thinking about me, and us. I want you, I want a life with you and if they can't accept us, then that's their problem. You're the most important person in my life love and no one will ruin that, I won't let it.'

'I feel the same, so if their still the same, then we just ignore them. Now come on, we have to go.'

'Okay,' Harry kissed Charlie then they held hands as they left the house and apparated away.

Harry and Charlie stepped into the kitchen of the Burrow which was filled with everyone, they hugged both Charlie's parents, his brothers, then kissed Ginny and Fleur before sitting down. Harry and Charlie noticed Hermione and Ron not looking at either of them, but they just shrugged and sat down.

'So how was your first week Harry?' Arthur asked.

'Great, Greg and Gary said I'll be a full auror faster than normal. Gawain said since I've had a lot of experience going up against dark witches and wizards has given me more experience than most aurors that have been training for a year.'

'Well he's right, you have gone up against some of the worst out there, so you probably have a lot more experience than most trainee aurors.' Bill said.

'So Harry didn't wear you out this week Charlie?' Ginny grinned making everyone laugh even Seamus who was sitting beside Ginny.

'No, he hasn't and you didn't have to tell everyone,' Charlie glared at his sister.

'Yes, I did, the big dragon handler was exhausted because Harry wouldn't stop shagging him.'

'I'm never going to live this down, see what you've done to me baby.'

Harry chuckled, 'Sorry love, I didn't mean to.'

'I wasn't sure I believed Ginny when she told us Charlie, but now, seeing your face, it's priceless,' Bill grinned, 'All those years telling us about how many men you had and how long you'd be going and young Harry here wears you out.' everyone laughed again.

'Blimey,' Charlie grimaced.

Harry snickered then sat on Charlie's lap, 'I'm sorry Charlie, try not to let it worry you,' he whispered then kissed Charlie's neck.

'Ginny mentioned something about you tying Charlie to the bed Harry,' Seamus smirked then pulled Ginny onto his lap.

'Ginny, will you stop telling everyone everything,' Harry shook his head, 'But yeah, I did, Charlie enjoyed it though.'

'Okay, enough telling us any details, none of us want to hear that,' Molly said.

'I wouldn't mind,' George smirked.

'Well you're out of luck George. What Harry and I do in private is our business.'

'Can you not sit like that,' Ron glared.

'Sit like what?' Charlie asked innocently.

'Like that, him on you like that.'

'You're not saying anything about Ginny sitting on Seamus' lap.'

'That's how it's supposed to be, you're just wrong,' Ron glared again.

'That is your opinion, Ron, just keep it to yourself. We're not wrong, we're in love and together, get used to it or leave because if we want to show our feelings we will and it seems to be just you and your girlfriend that don't like it. Look around, everyone else is fine with Harry and me, you're just bigoted and narrow minded,' Charlie seethed as he glared at his brother then took Harry's face in his hands and kissed him full on and very passionately making both of them groan softly. Then Charlie had Harry bent over but not once did their lips leave the other.

'It's good you left Charlie's room mum, they might need it,' Ginny giggled then kissed Seamus.

'These two are worse than Bill and Fleur,' Arthur shook his head in amusement.

'Hey, they're not,' Bill said then started kissing his wife.

'I should have brought Angelina, oi, you lot, unlock those lips,' George yelled, but just shook his head as Harry and Charlie, Bill and Fleur, Ginny and Seamus kept snogging and they were very serious kisses they were doing as well.
