Ch.6

I put the suitcase on top of the bed and began to unpack. 'Why am I unpacking here?' I thought as I picked one of my shirts. 'Because you want to be with Bill," my subconscious replied.

'Know you decide to come back?!' I thought angrily.

'I was waiting for the perfect moment,' it responded back.

I was already getting frustrated so I just continued to unpack. When I got to the bottom of my suitcase, I saw something that I knew for a fact that I didn't pack.

It was a picture of the day Bill asked me to go out with him. Charlie had taken it when Bill leaned down to kiss me when I told him yes. It was during his sixth year and my fifth. I continued to look at it when the memory of that day came back to me in a flash.

Flashback Beginning

Tonks and I were sitting by the lake near the castle. We had just taken our O.W.L's for Defense Against the Dark Arts and decided to take a well-deserved rest. We were continuing our conversation that we had started from that morning.

"Oh come on Spear! You and I both know that he has a thing for you! You should see the way he looks at you during meals!" Tonks told me.

"Maybe he just looks at me because of all the food that I eat," I told her as I pulled my legs up to my chest. "I mean look at me! Why would he want to go out with someone like me!"

"Uggh! I hate it when you say that!" Tonks stated angrily.

"But it's true! Look at me! Who would want me?" I said looking at the lake.

"Look you know that every guy in Hogwarts is in love with you with the exception for a few Slytherins. Bill would love to be with you in a snap!" she said, snapping her fingers.

I was about to respond when I heard a clicking sound behind. I turned around and saw Charlie with a camera. I gavehim a confused look.

"What the hell is he doing?" I heard Tonks say.

"I do not know... but whatever it is, he's putting it on hold," I said when I saw Charlie coming our way. I stood up and started to dust off my robes.

"Hey! How is my favorite little sister today?" Charlie exclaimed while messing up my hair with his right hand. I then took it off my head and shoved it back towards him.

"Firstly, you already have a little sister. Secondly, I'm not even related to you. Thirdly, what's with the camera?" I said, looking at his left hand.

"Firstly, I know that I already have a little sister and she is as cute as a button. Secondly, I know you're not related to me. It's just that I feel that you're my little sister already. Thirdly, mum wanted me to take some pictures so she can see how were doing," Charlie said while holding up the camera.

"Ok then. Now you can go back to whatever you were doing so me and Spear can continue our conversation," Tonks said to Charlie.

"Well for your information Ms. Tonks, my brother needs to talk to her so I'm going to kidnap her for the moment. But don't worry... I'll bring her back when she's done," Charlie said, pulling me to the trees.

"Hey! Percy can rat on someone some other time! I need to talk to her about... well... girl stuff!" Tonks yelled while blocking our way.

"Bill wants to talk to her," Charlie said with a small grin. I looked at him in shock.

"Oh... okay then. You can take her," Tonks said while sitting back down on the ground.

"Tonks!" I said. It was probably the only thing I was able to tell her before I was pulled away and being directed to the trees.

"Charlie, what does he want to tell me?" I asked.

"Just something," Charlie said. He still had that stupid grin on his face.

As we got closer to the trees, I could already see Bill sitting down on one of the roots and he had a box in his hand. He hadn't noticed us yet and was staring out at the lake. By this time, I was already trying to run away but Charlie made sure that I stayed on course.

"Here is the lovely package for you and now excuse me, I have some more pictures to take," and with that being said, Charlie left me there and got back to taking pictures.

Bill looked up and smiled at me. "Hi Spear." I felt like I turned in to a small puddle of melted silly putty. "Hi," I said some how. He told me to have a sit next to him so I did. We both stayed silent for a while. I wanted it to stay like this but I knew that someone had to say something.

I cleared my throat and said, "Um... so, um, what's in the box?" I asked. 'No! Stupid, stupid, STUPID! Why didn't you ask him how he was doing?' I thought.

He looked down at the box and smiled. "Oh this? It's a present for you."

"For what?" I said looking up at him. Man, did I feel short. Even though we were just sitting down, I still felt like a midget next to him. Hell, who wouldn't be? He was 6' 2" when he was standing up straight.

"For you making prefect. I wanted to congratulate you in a different way then everybody else so... here it is," he said. He then handed it to me and looked into my eyes. 'Oh my gosh, his eyes are so beautiful! There's like a fire in them!' I thought.

I said thank you and opened the box. I smiled when I saw what was in it. It was a white gold chain with two charms on it. One was of a unicorn and the other was of a werewolf. I looked up at him and saw him looking out at the lake again.

"How did you know that these are my two favorite animals?" I asked whiletaking acloser at the werewolf charm. 'Wow... it looks like Remus.'

"I asked Charlie what your favorite animal was and he told me that those two are your favorite ones, so I got them with the chain. Oh, he also told me that you were allergic to silver and that you hated gold so I got you the white gold one instead," he told me smiling. But then he stopped smiling when he saw me frowning. "What's wrong?"

"This must have been really expensive Bill. How much did you spend?" I asked him. I had finally figured the amount it would have cost him to get this for me. It was more then he could afford. I knew that for a fact. "Bill, how much did this cost you?" I asked again.

"Don't worry about it," he told me as he took the chain out of the box. He put it around my neck and I could already feel the heat on my face. "Lets just say that I can't go to Brazil for awhile," he said while putting his hands on my shoulders. "There, it looks beautiful on you."

I felt myself blushing even more when he put his hands on my shoulders.

"Um, Is-is that all you wa-wanted to tell me?" I stuttered. 'Why are you stuttering? There is no room for stuttering!" my mind yelled. 'Oh shut up!' I responded back.

There was, once again, silence. I was looking at the floor so he wouldn't see my face. 'Say something!' my mind yelled. 'Say something like, why do you still have your hands on my shoulders still!'

"Well, there was something else I wanted to ask you," he finally responded.

"What is it?" I asked, still looking at the ground. I then felt his hand move from my shoulder to my chin. He lifted my face up and I could see his face getting a little red.

"I wanted to ask you if you... well... if you wanted to be my girlfriend," he said. I saw his face getting redder but he never lost eye contact with me. I had to wait a couple of seconds before what he told me could fully register in my mind. Even when it did, I couldn't believe what he had just told me.

"What?" I said. He laughed and I saw his face go back to its original color.

"I asked you if you would like to be my girlfriend," Bill said while putting his arms around my waist. I began to smile and then put my arms around his neck.

"What will happen if I say yes?" I asked

"I will be with you for as long as I live,"

"And if I say no?"

"Then I don't know what will happen then," he told me. I saw the fire that I love in his eyes go down a little.

"You know what?" I said to him.

"What?" he said as he pulled me a little closer.

"I would like to retract my last statement and stick with the first."

"And what does that mean?" he asked.

I took my arms off his neck and pulled his arms off my waist. While sitting, I turned around so he wouldn't see my face.

"Yes."

"Yes?!" he said.

"Yes," I responded, turning back to him with a smile on my face. He had a grin from ear to ear. He grabbed by the waist again and pulled me even closer to him. He bent his head down and slowly moved towards me. I put my arms around his neck and met him halfway to enjoy my first kiss with the guy that I had a crush on since my third year.

We were about to get more involved with the kiss when I heared a clicking sound behind us. I separated from Bill and looked around and saw Charlie waving at us. I laughed a little.

"I think your brother just took a picture of us," I stated.

"Let him take some more," Bill said as he pulled me into another kiss.

Flashback Ends

I threw the picture back in the suitcase and took out the picture that I had brought.

"I'm going to KILL Charlie!" I said as I took off my sweater and jeans.

'Why?' my subconscious asked.

"Because," I said while putting on a tank top.

'Because why?'

"Because Charlie was the one who put the picture in there!" I exclaimed while putting on my overalls. I didn't make any move to put on the straps. I bent down and looked through the pockets of my jeans and found my pensieve.

'Yeah but there is a reason why he put it there and you know why!'

"Oh ya? And what is that reason?" I said as I put the picture in my back pocket and enlarged my pensieve with my wand.

'Bill,' it stated.

I reopened my suitcase when my subconscious said that. I looked at the picture. It was showing Bill leaning down to kiss me. I moved my head to the so he wouldn't kiss me in the mouth but somehow, he was able to. When he pulled away, the both of us were smiling but I could see that I was trying to get away.

'You know those pictures speak the truth,' my replied.

I took out the picture out and closed the suitcase. "Just be quite," I said calmly, putting the picture in the front pocket,

'I don't think so," it responded back.

"Fine, I don't care anymore," I said while leaving the room. "But I'm still going to kill Charlie."
