Chapter 1

The summer passed quickly as Charlie, Cate and Mrs Weasley raced around preparing for the wedding. It was only a few days away, and things were getting rather hectic in The Burrow.

Cate had just arrived back at the house afer confirming her dress and some of the catering. She trudged up the stairs to her and Charlie's room, collapsing down onto the bed, her feet dangling off the edge. The door to the room opened and Charlie walked in.

"Afternoon." He greeted, dumping a box down on the bureau.

"Afternoon." The nineteen-year-old replied as her fiancee sat beside her.

"How's life?" Charlie asked, tickling her exposed stomach softly.

"Hectic." She replied, stopping his tickling by taking his hand and pulling herself up to sitting.

"Well things are bound to be hectic now."

"I know." Catherine replied, pulling Charlie close to her, "But that doesn't mean we have no time." The young man laughed softly, then touched their lips together. Cate slowly slipped her tongue into his mouth, as his hands ventured up her shirt.

The couple gently lay down on the warm bed. Cate squirmed as Charlie's hand tickled her back, teasing her by playing with the bra latch. Charlie softly pulled their lips apart, though they kept their eyes closed, and weren't even an inch away from each other.

"Do you have time?" He whispered.

"As much as needed." The young woman whispered in reply, lifting her lips up to meet his. Cate enclosed her hands around the bottom of his shirt, puling it off over his head, she then puled her mouth off his, covering him with kisses. The nineteen-year-old then returned her mouth to her fiancees, not softly tickling his chest with her fingernails. Charlie reached up to Cate's bra clasp again, undoing it quickly. His hands then began slipping it off while kissing her softly. Just as Catherine reached down to Charlie's belt, a sharp knock came on the door. The couple froze mid act.

"Cate? Charlie? Supper's ready if you want any." Mrs. Weasley's footsteps then left the hallway and clunked down the stairs.

"We'll never get a moment of peace here." Charlie whispered, laughing softly. Cate kissed him softly, then reached behind her, clasping her bra.

"We should really go down to dinner. They'll start rumors."

"That sounds good." The young man pulled his shirt back on, kissed Catherine gently, took her hand and the two went down to dinner.

Four days later, Charlie and Cate were married. The ceremony itself took place in the late afternoon, and it turned out to be absolutely fantastic, despite the worries of Molly. When it ended, the party of friends and family gathered in the backyard of The Burrow where there would be talking, catching up, and an area for dancing if wanted.

Cate was linked onto Charlie's arm as the two stood talking with Harry and Ron. The couple had decided to go with muggle wedding attire, and it had been a very good idea. Cate's dress was strapless and form fitting, the back of it filled with a ribbon corset. The skirt part of it flowed out around her knees until it ended at her feet.

The reception was almost over, after talking to nearly everyone, the couple was able to relax. They had been sitting in silence, Charlie's arm around his new wife, for a few minutes before Severus came over to speak with them.

"I must congratulate you both," He began, sitting down in a chair across from them, "I never thought I'd see this day." Catherine smiled softly.

"I'm glad you could, but there's still lots of catching up to do."

"That is true." Severus sighed lightly.

"Thank-you so much for coming." Cate spoke softly.

"Anytime." The man gave her a small smile, "All though, I must warn you, doing this might cause you danger."

"What do you mean?" Charlie asked.

"Draco Malfoy is still alive. Not only did you kill his father, but you were betrothed to him and broke it. The entire dark side may want to harm you."

"But of course."

"And they may want that heir."

"Which won't be happening." Charlie stated.

"Good to know." Severus stood up, "I must be on my way now. It was all lovely." He then dissapparated from the yard.

"Well that was encouraging." Catherine muttered.

"There's nothing to worry about, it won't be happening." Charlie replied firmly, kissing her head.
