(Insert Interesting Title Here)
A/N: This is how blocked I was. I can't even think of a title for this chapter! I'm home from school all day with strep throat (Ugh.) So I decided I was going to update my three most popular stories-Dragon Wings, Hogwarts Heart, Wish Upon a Star, and even-GASP!-Chit-Chat! (Hopefully.)
It had been over a week since Bill found out, and he had calmed down considerably. He was suddenly nervous and jittery whenever he saw Hermione and Charlie together, but at least he wasn't screaming obscenities anymore.
"You know, I reckon we ought to tell someone before we have another nasty scene like that again." Charlie said one afternoon. They were by the Shrieking Shack, alone for a rare moment.
"Who though?" Hermione asked. "So far, Bill and Ginny have found out, and those didn't go so well."
"Yeah, probably because of the shock factor." Charlie insisted. "You know Bill is probably the most open-minded of all my brothers, and Ginny could think a cactus is cute if you put a bow on it. She loves romance and mystery. She'd probably love all this sneaking around and stuff. They just didn't handle it well because they weren't suspecting it."
"So you're saying Ron would take the news better than Ginny if we just told him?" Hermione asked skeptically.
"I'm working on it, alright? I think we should tell Fred and George next, or," He added quickly as Hermione opened her mouth to protest. "Just George if you'd rather do smaller steps."
"Smaller steps of what?" Ginny asked, walking up to them, followed by Bill. "I told you they'd be here." She said to Bill.
"Yeah." Bill said, fidgeting with his earing.
"Bill, calm down." Hermione said in a soothing voice.
"Huh?" He said, starting to fidget with his ponytail.
Ginny gently grabbed his hand and held it still. "So what were you guys discussing?"
"Who to tell next." Hermione said. "What do you think of George?"
"Nice guy, about this tall, red hair..." Bill started. Ginny clapped a hand over his mouth.
"Personally, I think you guys should tell everyone else at once. Hire a sky-writer. Throw a party. Get married." Ginny suggested. Bill choked behind her hand.
"I think you're a bit ahead of us." Charlie laughed.
"Even if we do decide to tell someone, how?" Hermione asked. "Did you ever think of that?"
"That's what I have you for, isn't it?" Charlie teased. Hermione pretended to be mad, but when Charlie pulled her into a big hug and kissed the tip of her nose, she giggled.
"You guys keep that up, you won't have to worry about who you tell." Bill said, glancing around. "Look, there's two girls down there who probably saw the whole thing." He gulped. "And now, they're coming up here." His voice shook just the tiniest bit.
Charlie quickly let go of Hermione. She turned to look at who the girls were, laughed, then quickly gasped.
"What's the matter Hermione?" Ginny asked, sounding worried.
"Oh my God, they're going to kill me." She said, sounding preoccupied. "I completely forgot. Oh my God, they're gonna be so mad."
"Who?" Charlie insisted.
"Why?" Ginny asked.
"Shut up!" Bill snapped.
"Hermione Granger, you better have a good explanation for not keeping us updated about this!" Parvati shouted as she and Lavender reached the small group at the top of the hill.
"What are they talking about?" Bill demanded.
"Back in seventh year, they found a piece of paper I had been doodling on." Hermione said, chewing on her thumb nervously.
"What had you been doodling?" Ginny asked, a smile growing on her face.
"The whole paper was full of little hearts with HG+CW." Lavender grinned.
"And she told us she'd keep us updated, but apparently she hasn't been."
"I'm sorry, I just got very distracted."
"I can see why." Lavender muttered, glancing at Charlie. He was in the process of turning red when Hermione cleared her throat loudly and jabbed him with her elbow.
"So, is it out yet?" Parvati asked, "Or do we have to suffer in silence some more?"
"Well, Bill and Ginny found out by accident, and now we're considering telling George by choice."
"What about Fred? He'll be very pissed if he finds out George was hiding something from him." Lavender suggested.
"Yeah, but our only other choices are Percy, Ron, and Harry."
"Personally, I would go with Harry. No relation, he'd be very cool as long as your happy." Parvati added.
"But if we tell Harry, he'll eventually tell Ron."
"Good point. Yeah, I think the twins are your safest bet right now."
"Okay, 'Mione? The twins?" Charlie asked, holding her hand.
After a slight hesitation, she said, "Sure."
Two voices from a nearby tree rang out suddenly.
"Finally! Thought you'd never get around to telling us!"
Fred and George climbed down from the tree.
A/N: Okay, that's the best I could come up with, sorry! Anyway, the people who are left are Percy, Ron, Harry, and of course, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Who do you guys want to find out next? Review and tell me!
