Disclaimer: Don't own it. Only Leila.
A/N: Thank you so much all of my reviewers! I love you all! BTW I have no idea what the name of the librarian is, so I made up my own. Hope you don't mind…who would anyway? Lol.
Taste of Fire: I am so glad that you like my idea. You were jumping up and down? So was I when I read your review! LOL. Thank you so much! I wasn't having a good day, so that really made it much better.
Leila let Charlie drag her all the way to the library, he seemed angry, but not with her.
"Um excuse me, but students aren't allowed in the library before hours." Madam Pierce the school librarian asked them as they entered the library.
"Madam Pierce, I uh…I need to use one of you fabulous books." Charlie said. "Please? Could you let me and my friend in?"
Madam Pierce smiled and blushed. "Oh of course Mister Weasley." She said and let him through the doors, Leila closely following. She couldn't help but notice that his grip on her hand seemed to have tightened.
Charlie brought Leila to the back of the library, where he sat her down at a table and sat in the seat right next to her.
"Are you okay?" he asked, while placing a hand on hers, which lay on the wood table. "Leila?"
She glanced up at him, flashing him with a sad smile, "Yeah I'll be okay." She said and felt more tears roll down her cheeks. Charlie wiped them away with his sleeve.
"He's an idiot." He said and cursed softly.
Leila turned to look at Charlie. "No Charlie, I'm the idiot!" she said loudly. "He didn't even know my name. I bet he could care less about my feelings, and the fact that he showed that note to almost everyone!" she rested her head on the table. "He wasn't the hero I thought he was."
Charlie brushed her hair back and just looked at her. He was going to give Bill a beating he never knew existed. "Leila, you're not an idiot, how were you to know that Bill was to stoop that low to take your personal notes, and don't worry about him telling the whole school." He said, and she looked up as if confused. "Once I'll get a hold of him, he won't be able to talk." He clenched his fists.
It however didn't help, that Charlie was trying to be a hero for her. "I bet he'd never date me anyway." She said. "I bet he'd go for a girl who is prettier than me, and more athletic than me, and more fun to be around."
"No she's not." He said.
"How do you know?" she snapped at the guy comforting her. "It's true and you know it."
"Well because there's no one prettier that you, or more fun to be around." He said with a smile.
He watched her think and the smile. "You forgot athletic." She said.
"Well, I was including myself." He said with a smile as he watched her mood suddenly change.
She laughed for the first time in the day, "Charlie you barely know me." She said, and watched as he frowned, "Why do you even care about me? Why are you helping me?"
Charlie brushed her hair back behind her ear, and smiled. "I know you more than you think I do." He said in a whisper.
Leila thought back to class, and how she was going to have to face him and all the others who tormented her. "I feel so terrible." She said and looked at Charlie.
"Yeah, I know, but as for Bill, he'll always remember how big of a jerk he was. And how he let you go someone who liked him so much. I bet you anything once he gets out of Hogwarts, all the girls who like him now, won't give him the time of day." He said.
Leila shook her head, it wasn't possible, Bill Weasley was a looker and girls around the world were bound to feel the same way towards him as she once had.
Leila smiled and wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "Thanks Charlie, you're definitely the better Weasley brother." She said and smiled. "And a good friend." She added.
Charlie watched as she collected herself and stood up, looking towards the door.
"Are you sure you want to go?" he asked her. He would by no question, tell her professors that she was sick.
"No." she said, "I can't face them." She sat back down.
"Tell you what. You go to the Hospital wing, tell them your stomach hurts, and ask to stay there. At the end of the day, meet me back here," he said. "That good with you?"
Leila nodded and was so grateful; she almost gave him a hug. She however resisted the temptation.
Charlie and Leila walked to the entrance of the Library.
"Well, thanks for caring about me." She said and smiled at Charlie.
"No problem." He said and was about to say something, when a group of girls came over and started laughing at Leila.
Leila, not being to stand it anymore, ran to the Hospital wing, without even giving Charlie a good bye.
Soon the day was over, and Charlie went to meet Leila in the Library. There she was in the back, Bex was also with her; her face lit up as she saw him walking towards her.
"Hey, how are you doing? Feeling better?" he asked. He handed her the homework he collected for her. "Here's the work you missed."
She took the pile of work, and smiled at him. "Did you see Bill at all today?" she asked.
Charlie sat down next to her and nodded. "Yeah I did, and he seems as if he could care less about your feelings, I don't even think he noticed you missing in potions." He said and felt his heart break as she frowned.
"Oh…" she said after a moments pause. "Well at least he moved on, maybe that means that the rest of the school has." She forced a smile on her face and turned to her homework.
"Leila, he's as asshole, and you could do so much better than him." Bex said, she smiled at Charlie. "Take Charlie for instance."
Leila laughed at the thought of she and Charlie getting together.
"What time is it?" She asked and looked at Charlie.
Charlie checked his watch, but before he could give Bex the time, someone interrupted him.
"Way past your curfew." The voice said. The three of them turned around and there stood a very angry Bill Weasley. "Why hello Linda, I knew you were okay today. So did you decide to skip classes?" he smiled at her.
"No." she said and sounded very guilty.
Charlie stood up and faced his brother. "Bill leave her alone." He said. "It's not her fault she wasn't in class today. She wanted to go, I told her to stay in the Hospital wing."
Bill looked Charlie or Charles as he called him, up and down as though examining him. "Charles, what is mother going to say?" he asked, "And dad?" he smiled at his younger brother as though he got something over him. "You do realize that you are dad's favorite and this kind of thing would break his heart."
"What kind of thing?" he asked.
Bill let out a laugh and handed Charlie a pink piece of paper.
"Detention?" Charlie half yelled. "Bill! You can't do this! I'm your brother!"
"Yes, I know and it's for your own good." Bill said and ripped off two more pieces of paper. He handed them each to Leila and Bex. "These are for being out after curfew."
With that said, Bill left.
Charlie, Leila, and Bex walked out of the library only to find the large clock reading 8:45pm. 15 more minutes left until curfew. Something was bothering Bill and it wasn't because they were out late…because they weren't.
A/N: ok not the best…I think. I promise the next few chapters will be really good. Well maybe not. I don't know, I'll see. Lol. I was wondering, how many of you like Bill, and how many like Charlie? So click that nice button and give me a good review. I honestly think this story sucks. Lol. But hey every author is a critic. Oh and BTW if anyone if reading my other story, it's going on hold for a few months. I am busy on this story. Lol. I love my Weasley's!
