The course of true love never did run smooth
- William Shakespeare


25th August 1994 Part Three – 2:35pm

"How you doing?' That's all you asked her?" Bill asked Charlie disbelievingly.

"What else was I supposed to say? All you lot were there! What else could I say?" Charlie said, throwing his rucksack on the bottom bunk. He, Bill and their father would share a room while the Twins, Ron and Harry shared the other room. Hermione and Ginny were in the smaller tent.

"I don't know! I'm just saying, first you went bright red, then you asked her silly questions! You knew she was doing a Healer's course, that's all you talked about at one point."

"Urgh, I know. I'm hopeless." Charlie said. He flopped down onto the bed, and rested his head in his hands. "What am I supposed to say? Every time I see her, I go red and completely blank!"

"Well, then." Bill said, sitting next to him. "We'll just have to fix that. Now come on, we're meeting them before we go."

Charlie nodded and followed him out of the tent. They were just waiting for Annie, Tonks, Ginny and Hermione, the latter had went to get ready in Annie and Tonks' tent. Hermione and Ginny came out first and they headed towards Harry and Ron. Tonks then came out, hair a bright green colour for the occasion.

"Hurry up, Annie!" She shouted. "Everyone is waiting!"

"I can't find my bag!" Annie's voice called back.

"I've got it!"

"Why do you have it?" Annie asked walking out of the tent.

"Because, I knew you'd lose it." Tonks shrugged.

Annie rolled her eyes and turned to look at Charlie. Charlie gasped, he couldn't help it. In his opinion, Annie looked great. She was wearing a pretty white shirt, olive coloured jeans, a green scarf and her beige military boots. Her curly blonde hair had been plaited into a messy side plait and she was wearing the smallest amount of makeup, which amplified the brownness of her eyes.

Annie's gaze shifted from Charlie, whose mouth was slightly open, to Tonks, who was stood holding Annie's bag, and looking between Annie and Tonks. Annie reached forward and took the bag from Tonks, slinging it over her shoulder.

"We ready to go then?" Annie asked.

"Yeah, yeah," Charlie replied quickly. "We're just waiting for Dad."

Annie nodded and began to talk to Ginny and Hermione, the two girls just having walked over.

"I know, you know," A voice said from behind Charlie. He turned round and saw Tonks standing there, knowing look in her eyes.

"Know what?" Charlie asked quickly. Tonks grinned.

"That you like Annie."

"What? No I don't," Charlie quickly stuttered. Tonks just looked at him.

"Yes you do. Half of Hogwarts knew, Charlie. I think the only person who doesn't know is Annie herself."

"Is it really that obvious?" Charlie sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"Yeah. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Tonks said before walking off to join Annie's conversation.

"Men are doomed," Charlie muttered to himself.

Soon, Mr Weasley was ready and they began to walk towards the stadium. All around them, the crowds bustled, excited for the match. Stall holders shouted their various merchandise from behind their overflowing trollies. It wasn't long before all the younger members of the group disappeared into the crowds of salesman, no doubt spending their savings.

"Look Annie!" Tonks cried, pointing to a specific stall. "Rosettes!"

Tonks grabbed Annie's arm, dragging her over to the stall, leaving Charlie with Bill.

"Tonks know," Charlie said quietly.

"Charlie, everybody knows except Annie. Why don't you tell her?" Bill asked.

"Because, Bill, she hates me," Charlie stated. Bill shook his head.

"No, Charlie. She didn't particularly like you in school. I'm sure if you just talked to her, you might realise that she doesn't hate you anymore."

"But why? She's got a boyfriend."

"And from what I've heard, not a very good one. Dad's mention him a few times and from what I gather, he's just like Percy but worse."

Charlie stopped and turn to face Bill directly.

"Do you really think I have a chance with her?" He asked. Bill smiled.

"Definitely. Now go get her."
