A/N: Please look between the lyrics of the song because there are some lines there thanks to which the ending might actually make sense. Anyways, here's another chapter. Enjoy :))
Chapter 140: Fire
But their happiness was short-lived. Charlie barged in, looking alarmed. I hadn't noticed him walking out of the tent earlier.
"It's burning down. They set the Burrow on fire. Mom! They set it on fire. " he said, looking around, trying to find everyone in his family. But they were not frozen in fear or shocked as you would've expected. That's not how the Weasleys work. Instead, all of them walked up to Charlie from wherever they were and asked him how, when and from whom he had found out.
"I just received a letter from the Order member that is posted outside the Burrow. Apparently, the Death Eaters had been tipped off by someone that a wedding was going to take place today in our family. They probably assumed that it was going to be there and got mad when they found nothing. So they set it on fire and put the Dark Mark over it, then left. That's all I know, so we'll have to go and see what happened with our own eyes. But not now. I'm sorry Bill. For ruining your wedding like this. "
"Hey, it's okay, you had to tell us about this and someone has to go and put out the fire now. We don't want the damage to be bigger, so we shouldn't wait until the end of the party. And you didn't ruin it Charlie. No one is hurt and everything can be solved pretty easily for now. So we can get back to the party. "
"I guess so. I'll go, I'm good at dealing with fire. You know, dragons and such. I'll be back fast. "
"Okay. " And with that, Charlie left. Next, the dance floor was freed and the music started playing. We had to keep the party going. It was a wedding after all. And if the bride and groom were okay with it, it couldn't stop. I didn't realize how much fourty people actually meant up until everyone started dancing, each in their own different ways. Luna and her father seemed to be chasing flies with their hands and Bill's and Fleur's parents had mixed up and were waltzing next to the just married couple. Fred and George were swirling Hermione and Angelina around, occasionally hitting tables or each other, and Ron siting at a table, talking to Krum about quidditch and gesturing so wildly in his fervor, that I was surprised he hadn't hit anyone yet. Harry and Ginny had snuck off after the party started and were probably snogging somewhere.
Draco and I were sitting at a table next to the exit at the moment.
"... Anyways, that's why I don't like the Weird Sisters."
"That's a really weird reason Dray. " I said, laughing.
"Well, it's my father's fault, not mine. "
"Oh well, if you say so...Let's dance."
"Really? I thought you said you didn't like dancing. You told me that a couple of weeks ago. "
"No, I didn't say I don't like it, I said I was crap at dancing. But I got Gabrielle to help me learn how to walz especially for this wedding. I'm not fantastic, but I think I'm good enough not to step on your feet. "
He got up and held out his hand for me.
"Shall we? "
"Oh, definitely. I didn't do all that work for nothing. You'd be surprised by how many times you can actually fall while learning this dance. "
"Actually, I don't think I would. I did my fair share of falling. "
I ended up not stepping on his toes, although both of us fell once, being hit by Angelina's spinning. But we actually had fun. And we managed to get in sync pretty well. Charlie came back an hour later, looking tired but hopeful.
"Well, the structure held on pretty well. The roof completely collapsed though, as well as the last floor and most of the drapes and rugs are ruined. Still, it's not going to be too hard to fix most of it."
After he changed his mildly burnt tux, he came back to the party and soon enough, he was drunk enough to start singing and dancing with Mad Eye on the final song :
There are days
I wake up and I pinch myself
You're with me, not someone else
And I am scared, yeah, I'm still scared
That it's all a dream
"That's how I feel about the baby dragons."
'Cause you still look perfect as days go by
Even the worst ones, you make me smile
I'd stop the world if it gave us time
'Cause when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room
If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You'll probably never love someone like I do
"Merlin, you have no idea how cute they are. "
You'll probably never love someone like I do
When you say
You love the way I make you feel
Everything becomes so real
Don't be scared, no, don't be scared
"It takes a lot to make them fly, they're scared they'll fall" "
'Cause you're all I need
And you still look perfect as days go by
Even the worst ones, you make me smile
I'd stop the world if it gave us time
'Cause when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room
If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You'll probably never love someone like I do
You'll probably never love someone like I do
All my life
I thought it'd be hard to find
The one 'til I found you
And I find it bittersweet
'Cause you gave me something to lose
"But they grow up so quickly and you can't spend as much time with them anymore."
But when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room
If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You'll probably never love someone like I do
You'll probably never love someone like I do
You'll probably never love someone like I do
And that's why, while most of the guests were heading home, Charlie Weasley was siting on a chair, crying about baby dragons after hearing a love song, while Mad Eye Moody was trying to comfort him.
