*Chapter 2* The Wrath Of An Older Brother
"What the hell is going on in here? What the fuck do you think you're doing to my little sister?"
Harry was suddenly awoken when a large pair of hands ripped him out of bed and began shaking him violently.
"What the fuck are you doing naked in my bed with my sister?" Harry was having trouble focusing on exactly who was yelling at him as he did not have his glasses on.
"Accio glasses." He said, putting them on after they reached his hands and turning to his assailant.
"Oh, fuck. Uh…Charlie what are you doing home so early? I…uh…well…we….uh…I can explain everything…" He continued stammering on, silently hoping that Charlie would wait and hear him out before he knocked the living shit out of him.
I can't believe I was so stupid. I should have stayed awake and taken Ginny back to her room. But I just couldn't help it, she looked to peaceful lying there. Oh Merlin, never mind waiting for Voldermort to return…Charlie is gonna kill me now.
"Harry we treated you like fucking family man, and this is how you repay us? By sleeping with our little sister? What the hell…" Charlie was interrupted by a rather loud yawning noise coming from his bed.
Ginny slowly opened her eyes and took in her surroundings before panic set in.
Oh shit. I must have fallen asleep in here last night. Wait, what the hell is Charlie doing here? Why is he holding Harry like that? Oh no…he must have walked in and saw us lying here…
Her entire face turned the brightest shade of red that a face could turn as she tried to sputter out a response.
"Charlie, we didn't do anything, I swear! I had a nightmare last night and I was just up here talking about it with Harry. We fell asleep, nothing happened…" She was cut off by a voice from downstairs.
"Oi, Charlie is that you? Are you back early or something?" The three heard Ron shout from the lower floor.
Oh please don't let Ron come up the steps and see us like this. Harry thought. He will never forgive if he thinks I did something with his sister. Please Charlie think of something to say.
Charlie glared at Harry, as if to say 'you say one word and I will personally take your neck and wring the life out of it until you can't tell the difference between you and a pile of lime green jello' before walking to the door and shouting out,
"Yea Ron, I'll be down in a minute. I just wanted to drop some stuff off in my room first."
Charlie turned to Ginny and Harry, who had started to take a seat on the bed next to her until he noticed Charlie shooting daggers at him before quickly scooting to the other end of the bed.
"Ginny I want you to go back to your room right now. Stay there for a few minutes before going down to breakfast. Tell Ron I'll be down soon and for Merlin's sake, fix yourself up." He stated very calmly, gesturing to her hair, which had become quite a mess overnight.
"Charlie, I told you it was nothing. Please don't do anything to Harry, if anything this is my fault. I'm the one that came up here and fell asleep." She said before quietly slipping out the door and down the hall.
Charlie closed the door behind him and took a seat next to Harry on the bed. He was staring a small picture on his bookshelf on the other side of the room when he began talking.
"Harry…I'm sorry for assuming that you and my sister did anything. I trust that you would never do anything to hurt Ginny, but you have to understand where I'm coming from. Ginny's not only the youngest child, but also only girl. After what happened her first year we've all been pretty protective of her. Plus, you know how she felt about you…about how she probably still does, and I just don't want to see her get her heart broken, you know?" He said, turning his head to face Harry, who seemed to be very interested in a small spot on the floor between his legs.
"I know you would never purposefully do anything like that," Charlie continued, "… but if you care about her at all, you need to tell her exactly how you feel, either way."
Harry tore his gaze away from the floor and turned to meet Charlie's eyes.
"I would never to do anything that I thought would hurt Gin. She's my friend; one of my closest. We've gotten a lot closer in the past few months, you know with DA and everything. I promise I'll talk to her after breakfast. Just to make sure everything is okay between us."
"Good. I know I'm being the typical big brother, but she really does deserve only the best. Although I have to say, if you do decide to pursue anything with Ginny, I can't think of any other guy who would be as worthy of her love as you," Charlie stood up and walked across the room before he turned back to Harry.
"But if I catch you in bed with my sister again…she'd better damn sight well have a ring on her finger, because it would really upset me to have to kill the man my sister loved in front of her." He finished, ending with a grin.
"Thanks man." Harry replied, standing up to join Charlie, who proceeded to pull him into a weird, sort of awkward man hand shake-hug-pat on the back. Charlie opened the door as Harry grabbed a t-shirt from the chair and joined him in the hallway before they went down to breakfast.
