"So, so, so, this Michael bloke-"

"Yes?"

"He's the good sort?" Her older brother, Charlie asked when he met her via the fireplace.

She smiled slightly, "The good sort? Yes."

"-and he's in-"

"-Ravenclaw."

"Hm. Must be intelligent then." Charlie said wryly, and then didn't elaborate. "So, when did he ask you out?"

"Uhm-" she took a small sip of apple cider "-two and a half weeks ago."

"And where was the location?"

"The library."

"The library? Who asks a girl out in the library?" Charlie said to himself.

"Apparently Michael, and it was sweet, what he said to me."

"What did he say to you?" He asked, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"Just-some-stuff."

"No Astronomy Tower?"

"Astronomy Tower?"

"Oh, you haven't figured out about that yet," he said, chuckling to himself.

"Well," she said, "the astronomy tower is for looking at stars."

"Right," Charlie said, grinning. "And if he ever wants to take you up there to 'look at stars' the answer will be-"

"Yes," she cut him off, "I like looking at stars."

"I'm sure he does too," Charlie rolled his eyes. "Anyway, a fourth year?"

"Yes."

"Does everyone else know?"

"What do you mean?" She asked, pretending she didn't understand.

"You know, Mum, Dad, Bill-" he paused at Percy's place and just continued "-Fred, George, Ron?"

"What about Percy?"

"Ginny-"

"What about Percy?" She said getting angry.

"He's uh-" he raked a hand through his messy red hair. "-not really part of the uh unit."

"Unit? What do you mean? He's still blood, Char! You can't deny your own blood like that."

Charlie looked annoyed and confused all in one.

He blinked.

"I don't think I'm doing the denying."

"Blood," she said and then more firmly, "blood."

Charlie smiled grimly. "So did you tell everyone?"

"No. You're the first one. I'm making my rounds."

"Oh."

"I've got to go, Umbridge will probably be-"

"I've heard about her, monster, huh?"

"Yes. She'll probably be up to something."

"Bye, love," he said as he waved a hand at her.

"Bye, Char," she said, smiling as she pulled on her black cloak.

"And no Astronomy Tower, okay?"

"I don't see why," she sighed, "there's nothing wrong with stars and gazing at them. But, okay."

"Glad we're clear," he chuckled, winked, and was gone.
