Well, the Secret's Out...


A/N: Way too short, I know, but I posted two chapters today, so it cancels out. More to come soon!



"...And that's the whole story, dad." Charlie finished.

Mr. Weasley looked slightly jaded. (Who wouldn't?) Ron had paled several shades, and Harry had remained motionless for most of the story, only blinking once or twice.

Finally Mr. Weasley rubbed his eye, cleared his throat, and said, "I think you make a very cute couple."

Hermione squealed with happiness and hugged Mr. Weasley. Charlie grabbed Harry and Ron into a hug, which was only fought off half-heartedly.

Hermione let go of Mr. Weasley and fell into Charlie's arms.

"They took it well. Finally, someone did!" Charlie cried.

"So is that it? Is that everyone?" Hermione asked breathlessly.

"Bill, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, Harry, Ginny . . . everyone knows." Charlie sighed. "We're completely honest."

Hermione squealed again, and Charlie gathered her into a huge bear hug, ending in a passionate kiss, as everyone else "Aw"-ed . . .

"Wait!" George cried suddenly. "You forgot-"

POOF.

Mrs. Weasley appeared, holding a bag and looking very tired.

"My goodness, you wouldn't believe the lines at Madame Malkins-"

She stopped suddenly. Hermione and Charlie stared at her, frozen in horror.
