"Prisoner"
"Come on," he coaxed her, determined to have her spend the day with him. "It's so nice outside. Please come?"
She smiled, tugging her hand away from him as he wrapped his arms around her. "I have to go to work," she said, giggling as he placed a kiss on the back of her neck.
"What's going on?" Ginny asked as she walked down the stairs.
"Hermione's my prisoner for the day," Charlie responded. "I want to have a picnic with her."
"Oh, go on, Hermione!" Ginny encouraged her.
Hermione wavered, and then gave in with a sigh. "If my boss fires me, I'm finding a way to get you fired as well," she warned Charlie.
He smiled and then picked her up, sweeping her off her feet neatly. Ginny helpfully picked up the picnic basket near the doorway and handed it to Hermione, waving them out the door of the apartment Ginny and Hermione shared.
"Have a good time!" Ginny called after them, giggling, and then closed the door firmly.
Once outside, Charlie gently set Hermione down, but not without stealing a real kiss first. He took her hand and they began walking towards the park, where gentle slopes near the river made it perfect for a picnic.
It was a beautiful day, and even the thunderstorm at the end couldn't ruin the day for Hermione. In fact, rushing to gather up the stuff and duck under a pavilion led to more laughing together and enjoying watching the rain pour down around them as Charlie wrapped his arm around Hermione to keep her warm.
