Summary: This is basically my try on Charlie's years in Hogwarts. The first chapter's about him becoming the Gryffindor seeker. I made a mistake with the approximation of Charlie's age. Somehow I made him to be 7 years older than H/R/Hr (ie. right after Charlie graduates, Harry&co. come to Hogwarts). When I realised this, it was too late to change it. So yeah, u gotta bear with me on this.
Disclaimer: the wonderful J.K. Rowling created the magical world of Harry Potter. I own none besides a couple of original characters which do not play great parts in the story.
A/N: it's been so long since I've put anything up. To be completely honest, I've been emerged in Dark Angel fics. I still love harry potter tho…
Charlie Weasley's book of thoughts
Second Year:
5th October
Guess what? I got the position!! You are looking at the new seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team!! This is really a dream come true. Ever since I'd gotten my first Cleansweep from dad four Christmases ago, I've been inseparable from it. There's simply nothing better than flying. Well, actually seeing a dragon would be fantastic. Yes, that's my dream: to see a real life dragon. They're illegal here in England, but I think there's some kind of a dragon breeding place in Romania or Bulgaria? I can't remember. I'll go ask dad if we could go there one day for a family holiday.
Anyway, I do have another dream and that is to play seeker. And now I've done it. Yay!! It wasn't easy though. There was this one girl, Cassandra Cresson, who's really good. She's small so she can fly really fast. Of the ten times I went against her (that's how they audition for seekers), I could only beat her six times. That's why I'm feeling 'a bit' guilty that I got the position. But remember, I said 'a bit'. I don't like her very much. She's insufferable! She's very competitive and she always picks fights with me. One time it got pretty big and we ended up yelling at each other from across the Gryffindor table at breakfast! She threw her buttered-scone at me and it hit me square in the nose! I was just about to throw a bloody fork at her when a fifth year came in and broke us apart. He practically had to restrain me from jumping across the table and strangle her to death! To this day, I can't remember what it was all about. Probably something stupid like what's the best tactic to use to avoid blagging (the 480 loop of course! But she'd probably say something like a hard dive just to annoy me). Anyway, it was not my fault. I was provoked. I can't usually be bothered to argue with people but she's just too bloody irritating! Bill said that I shouldn't make a scene since I'm only a second year. Humph! What does that suppose to mean? I mean, he's not better off since he's 'only' in his 3rd year. I think Bill wants to be prefect so he's being extra good to make the teachers and other prefects like him.
I don't care. I'm the new seeker! I owled mum and dad and they told me that they'd get me a new broom for Christmas! Wicked! Now, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny all want to learn to fly. Dad might let the twins learn since they are already 7 but I think that Ron and Ginny are still a bit too young. I mean they don't even know what Quidditch is (Ginny pronounces it 'key-didge')! Percy is old enough but he doesn't want to. Sigh, I actually miss that little git. There's no one else at Hogwarts to bully. Oops, did I just say that? I miss Ginny as well. She's just learned to write. On the last letter, mum let her write her name on the bottom of the parchment. It says: GNINY.
I wonder who will get the chaser position. There was only one available and I think I heard our captain, Anne Duncan, telling Cassandra to go for it. Anne said that Cassandra is swift and fast enough to be chaser. Well, I hope that she doesn't get it! She'll probably try to knock me off my broom with the Quaffle. But she is a remarkably speedy flyer. And she does fly so swiftly! Oh well, the chasers' try out is tomorrow. I'll find out then.
Charlie Weasley, Griffindor seeker. Sounds good, doesn't it? Charley Weasley, Quidditch Captain. Hmmm, even better! Who knows?
A/N: how do you like that? J.K. doesn't really specify Charlie's character so I took the liberty of creating my own. Remember, he's only 12 in this fic, so he tends to be a bit childish. Just tell me your thoughts: comments, criticisms, all appreciated!
