Charlie's POV

I couldn't believe what Ron did. My favourite younger brother too! I mean, Hermione was really happy with Draco on that hike and when we were playing beach volleyball. I felt a twinge of jealousy. But it passed once it came. And now, Hermione was a huge wreck, too upsest to even speak to everyone who tried talking to her a few hours earlier.

I was sipping orange juice while playing chess with Bill, when I glanced over to Hermione for the hundredth time. She was sitting at the table thinking miserably and staring straight ahead. I heard a sigh beside me.

"If you're worried about her, then go up to her and ask her!" Bill told me exasperately. I could, but she looks like she needed some time alone. I said so, and Bill rolled his eyes. "She's had alone time for over five hours! Now go before I kick you," he threatened. I didn't, but leapt up when he kicked my shins.

"Ow! Geez, ok! Going..." I walked over to where Hermione was sitting and sat down beside her on the left. "I know everyone else has asked, but are you alright?"

She shook her head. "Do you think I'm a slut? A whore? I had two relationships that didn't quite last a day each in less than three days," she whispered. Is that what she thought?

"No, you aren't," I said boldly. "You had every right to dump Ronald and if it weren't for RONALD Malfoy wouldn't have broken up with you. It's all his fault." She sighed before staring off to space again. I tried to talk to her, but she didn't answer or even move to acknowledge my questions. Sighing, I stood up and walked over to where Sirius, Remus and Bill were.

"Charlie, I talked to the Ministry yesterday and Ronald's gonna be held at the office prison (not azkaban) for a few weeks and will be charged and fined. When he gets back, we wanna prank him so bad," Bill told me as I sat down. I forced a smile and tried to listen to the elders talk about things from dying all Ron's clothes pink with itching powder or making him sing I LOVE SNAPE over and over again in public.

I kept stealling glances at an empty Hermione, hoping that the rain would be gone soon so I could show her something on the island. It was an old cave inside the volcanoe and had some rare treasures in it somewhere. We could have fun looking for it...I also kept thinking about the kiss froom truth or dare and touched my lips where she kissed them.

A rapping noise on the door startled me from my thoughts. Harry went over to the door and opened it. "Hedwig!" A drenched, white snowy owl flew into the room carryinig a piece of paper in plastic over to Hermione. She took the letter and started to read it, before bursting into tears. She threw the letter onto the ground before running from the room. "Hermione!" we all called out. I sped to the door and she was nowhere in sight. Damn, she runs fast!

"What's wrong with her?" Remus asked worriedly before picking up the letter. He read out loud. "'Dear Hermione. I am sorry, but there are some black robe men downstairs attacking your father and I'm trying to write this as fast as I could, and it was lucky your friend Harry's owl got here. I told the bird to not send the letter if one of us lived, but to go directly if we did not make it. Im sorry. There was one thing I never told you, and it was that you were adopted. Attached to the plastic bag is a letter from our friend Jessie, whom is your real mother!'?" Remus exclaimed. "'We both love you. Mum.' Oh my GOD Hermione is MY daughter?" Remus threw the letter on the table and grabbed the plastic bag, which contained another letter. I grabbed the letter from the table and tried to read the messy writing. I couldn't believe it. Even if she was Remus', she still loved her foster parents and they were dead? She must be heartbroken.

Remus almost burst into tears as he read the second letter. "She is," he whispered before slumping down into his seat. Molly raced over and began hugging him and saying it was alright. "And her foster parents and her real mother are dead."

We were shocked. Especially me. I was also worried sick. Hermione was out in the rain and could get hurt or catch pnemonia! I made up my mind and grabbed my jacket and rushed to the huts ignoring everyone else's yelling.

"Hermione?" I called out, opening all the doors. Finally, I went to mine and grabbed Fred's old broom. Then I flew high up into the air, not caring if thunder clashed dangerously low to the ground then I would be squished and killed. Not to mention lightning and all the wind and rain!

"Hermione?" I cried out as I flew to the Quidditch pitch and then to Bill's side of the island. It wasn't very far away from each other but I could tell if someone was in between the trees. Frustrated, I directed my broom the best I could towards the mountain. She couldn't have gone far, and she can't disapparate ouot of the island. I doubt she flooed and she couldn't have portkeyed something, I saw her wand was still on the table when I grabbed it. I fingered the stick, it feels like something Hermione would own, intelligent, smart...ok that was the same thing.

"Where is she?" I muttered as I landed on the ground at the foot of the mountain. I grabbed my own wand and placed a repelling water charm over my head before walking around. "Hermione!" I couldn't even try to hear sniffling or crying over the roar of the thunder. I doubt she could hear me either.

Walking around, I decided to enter the cave which led inside the volcanoe. To my surprise, there was a blob on the ground, curled up and making strange sobbing noises. "Lumos." It was Hermione. She looked up and went back to crying. "Hermione..." I said softly.

Hermione's POV

"Hermione..." the guy said softly. He walked over to me and sat down ext to me, pulling me into a hug. "Are you okay?" Oh crap, it was Charlie. I sniffled and wiped my eyes.

Ignoring his question, I asked, "Is everyone looking for me?" I didn't want to worry everyone, especially Remus. I didn't need to read the letter from Jessie to know I was their daughter.

Charlie shook his head. "No, at least I don't think so. I was out first, so I didn't see." He held me there for a few minutes before I stopped crying. "You ready to go back? I have Fred's broomstick." Sniffling, I nodded. He helped me stand up and placed something into my hand. I looked down to see my wand. How stupid was I, to forget my wand? Some animal like a bear or something could have come and I would have been defenceless. "Or do you wanna go down there?" he asked, waving towards the otherside of the tunnel. I blinked.

"W-Where does it lead to?" He smiled, then grabbed my hand and dragged me there.

"You'll see." I was curious, so I didn't protest. The cave went downwards just a bit. About ten minutes later, we reached an opening of the cave. I gasped.

There was a lake of lava, no MAGMA and rivers which carried the hot molten rock to other parts of the mountain. This 'room' was huge, like bigger than the Great Hall. "There was once a legend," Charlie was saying "that there was a treasure hidden here somewhere. Now I'd take you around and we'd go look for it, but we could get lost forever and we have to go back." Wow.

During the walk back, I started to lean on Charlie, falling asleep fast from crying my eyes out. I don't know what happened next but when I woke up, I was laying on my bed in my hut and the storm outside was quiet. Sitting up, I looked out the window to see that there was light outside and it had stopped raining. How long have I been sleeping?

Getting up, I changed into a white blouse and a sky blue skirt and tied my hair up after straightening it. I don't know why or how I could be so excited expecially after my parents' (I will always think of them as my parents) murder but I did. I felt giddy to think that Charlie had carried me on his broomstick back here.

Slipping into flip flops, I bounced outside to see mostly everyone in the water and Sirius, Charlie, Remus an Molly and Arthur on the sand. "Hi guys!" They turned to me and stood up. Remus gave me a hug before whispering. "We'll talk laer." Then Molly was fussing over me and Arthur and Sirius just greeted at me. Then I sat down next to Charlie.

"Hey, thanks for bringing me back yesterday," I told him, giving him a hug. "And thanks for comforting me." He smiled at me before staring back at the water.

"Did you hear?" Molly asked a few minutes later. "George is thinking about proposing to Alicia tonight! Oh, my sons are growing up already! It seems just like yesterday Bill said his first word or Charlie first stood up on his own and fell back down ten seconds later."

"Mum!" Charlie cried out, flushing. I giggled.

"And that was YOUR first word, young man!" Molly wailed. "My babies are all grown up and soon, Ginny will have left Hogwarts too!"

"You first word was mum? Mine was, um..." I looked over to Remus for help. He smiled.

"Your first word was and I quote 'Mawadar!' which is Marauder," he answered with a small smile. Sirius then laughed.

"Oh yeah! I remember that! We taught her to say that, didn't we?" Sirius called out. "You know who your godfather is?" I shook my head. "It's James! Harry's dad! That means that Harry is your god brother and once he marries Ginny, she'll be your god sister and she'll also be your sister in law if you marry a Weasley! Though the only Weasley you can marry is Charlie." I blushed before shaking my head.

"Ah, shut it Padfoot!" He laughed, then went over to me and plucked me onto his shoulder. I started shrieking when he went over to the water. "SIRIUS ORION BLACK PADFOOT! DON'T YOU DARE THROW ME IN!" I was aware of everyone laughing at me before Sirius placed me placed me in the water. I came up screaming. "You idiot! I WAS WEARING A WHITE SHIRT!" I placed my arms around my chest.

"Oops." I splashed him, giggling at his stupid expression before jumping on his back to avoid embarrassment.

"Carry me back so I can change shirts," I demanded. He walked over to the others and dropped me to the sand. "I said to my hut so I can get another shirt!"

Charlie took off his jacket to reveal a sleeveless muscle shirt. "Put this on and go change," he told me while laughing. I felt the heat go up to my cheeks before taking the jacket and running.

Grr...I hate that Sirius. Well, not really but I'm annoyed. Charlie probably thought I was pathetic! I quickly changed into a purple tube top that went to my middle stomach and exited the hut. Charlie turned around and stared at me when I gave him back his jacket. He smiled at me before saying, "Nice shirt. I like it on ya." I turned pink before whacking him on the head.

"No flirting." Then I sat back down next to him and Remus. "Wait a second, does this mean I'm gonna have a baby sister?" I exclaimed.

"Yep," Tonks replied when she got out of the water. "Your step sister, your first sibling. Really cute, huh?"

"It's a girl?" I exclaimed again. Remus was surprised too.

"Well, I think it is. I hope so, so you can have someone to braid hair with," Tonks said before sitting down again.

"Is that your ring?" I asked in awe at the rock on her finger. Tonks grinned before telling me how Remus proposed. I giggled.

"So he took you to dinner and then a drive to a secluded spot somewhere and proposed? That's so sweet," I cooed while we both giggled.

"How would YOU like to be proposed somewhere?" Tonks asked me. I giggled again.

"I dunno, dinner, beach, movies probably and wine, definitely some wine. Then I want him to get down on one knee, say something cute but stupid and ask me to marry him. And I want him to throw in something else, something exciting too."

"That sounds romantic, you like anyone?" Ginny asked as she walked over to us. I looked around at all the guys' face. Everyone was out of the water by now and closely watching me. I stood up.

"Girl talk everyone," I announced. Then Molly, Tonks, Fleur, Angelina, Alicia, Ginny, Luna, Charlotte and I walked over to my hut and casted silencing charms over it. "I need your help!" I suddenly cried out, startling everyone.

"With what, deary? You know we'll help with you no matter what," Molly tried to soothe me. I crawled over to my bed and sat down.

"I'm falling for this guy more than any other person I've liked and I don't know what to do," I muttered. To my surprise, they all gave knowing smiles.

"You're in love," Luna told me, sitting next to me. I was in shock.

"No, no I'm not!" I sputtered.

"Ok then describe this guy and what you like about him," Angelina ordered. I thought for a moment.

"Well, whenever he's near I can smell pine scent on him and I love that. And he has a gentle touch but is still strong and athletic," I started. "He's also fun to be around but can be sensitive too, and can be a little wild and flirty." Suddenly, Molly and Ginny grinned.

"Ooh, it's Charlie, isn't it?" Ginny taunted. Timidly, I nodded. Everyone started bursting into giggles and cooings.

"Aw...if you marry Charlie then you'll be my daughter in law!" Molly exclaimed. I blushed.

"Anyway, keep going," Tonks ordered.

"Well, we have similar interests, we love to comfort and talk to each other and when he does touch me somehow, I feel a tingle and I wanna kiss him," I whispered, blushing. Here I was, talking to Charlie's brothers' fiances or girlfriends and my best friends and Charlie's sister and mother!

"Hm..." Luna mumbled. They removed the charm and started dragging me out of the hut.

"You're in love, and we won't tell anyone," they all echoed as we reached the beach again. I blushed, especially when all the guys gave me questioning looks.

"I shouldn't have had a girl talk," I groaned.

"We woulda forced you anyway," Ginny told me.

"So who do you like?" Harry asked me curiously. I blushed further and tried hardest not to run away.

"Nobody." Remus was giving me a knowing look. Crap, now I know that when we talk, he's gonna be teasing me about it.

"Well, try to tell this person soon, and tell us soon. I want to meet him," Harry said, smiling. Then his face turned serious. "I also wanna give him a talk so he won't hurt my sister in any way at all." I turned bright red while the others sniggered.

"Don't worry, I will tell the day he tells me he loves me," I told him in all honesty before sitting down. The heat was still on my cheeks as Ginny started asking anyone to play Truth or Dare again.

In the end, Ginny, Harry, Luna, Neville, Charlie, Bill, Fleur and I decided to play. "Can I go first?" I asked. Ginny handed me the bottle and I spun it. It landed on Bill.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to spin the bottle and whoever it lands on you have to kiss on the lips. Girl or boy, sibling or not," I added, smirking evilly. We all snickered while Ginny gagged. Bill gulped and span the bottle. It landed on me. He sighed in relief but gave Fleur an apologetic look before giving me a peck on the mouth.

Bill spun the bottle and it landed on Charlie. "Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." He grabbed the pendant again and placed it over his neck.

"Ok, Charlie. Describe this girl you like," Bill told him, crossing his arm. I went pale and looked over to Charlie. He looked nervous.

"Well, she's beautiful, smart, a fast runner..." That's not me, but I am smart though. "...she has nice hair, nice laugh, nice smile..." I can't believe how blue the pendant is! "...and she's perfect." My heart dropped. My hair is horrible, even when straightened, I sound ridiculous when laughing and I've never seen my smile before.

Charlie took the bottle and spun it. "Luna! Well, well well. Make out with Neville for seven full minutes in the hut. Now!" We burst out laughing. Charlie rocks! I won't deny my feelings for him in my head anymore, they're just crushing my mind. I giggled as Luna pulled Neville into our hut and he turned red.

A couple hours later, I was hungry. So I kept whining to Ginny to go to the kitchens. "I hardly ate yesterday and I missed lunch! PLEASE? I hate being by myself!" I complained. Ginny rolled her eyes at me.

"Can someone else go?"

"No. Luna's still in the hut, you're too lazy and Fleur is busy sending telepathic signals to Bill!" I exclaimed. Fleur and Bill blushed while Charlie sniggered.

"Go Neville!" he cheered loud enough so they could hear him. I started to laugh.

"Ok, Charlie. Since you volunteered." I grabbed his arm and abruptly pulled him up and to the restaurant.

"Hey! If you wanted a date with me so badly, then why didn't you so so?" Cuz I don't want you to know that I want a date really badly, I thought to myself. I slapped my head.

"You idiot, why would I want a date with you again?" He pretended to looked hurt and I giggled.

"Maybe because I'm handsome, smart, athletic and the most wonderful bachelor in the world?" he suggested, puffing out his chest. I giggled.

"The only thing you are, is athletic and somewhat good looking," I told him while smirking. He pouted, but still smiled.

"Grr...why did it have to go from freezing rain to boiling hot and dry?" he whined as he tugged on his shirt collar, sweating. Can't say I blame him, it must be around 35 degrees Celcius, which is almost a hundred degrees Fahrenheit.

Once we got to the restaurant, a house elf named Shella came up. "What can Shella give to Master and Miss?"

"A glass of Quantrie please," I asked while Charlie ordered ice and lots of it. Giggling again, I took a cup of Quantrie and sipped on it.

"I can't believe house elves are supposed to work for nothing," I declared suddenly, a pity look on my face.

"Ron told me all about that. Says you're obsessed with SPEW. You do realize that they WANT to work, do you?" Charlie asked.

"Nope. But Ron's told you about me?" I asked, surprised.

"Yep, he wrote to me all about the troll incident, the Philosopher's Stone, the chamber and basilisk, Wormtail, the Triwizard tournament and how in fifth, sixth and seventh year how he thinks he was falling in love with you," he said, rollind his eyes.

"Weird, were you his favourite brother?" He nodded and I looked down.

"Sorry I broke you guys' bond," I muttered. He groaned.

"Not this again. Hermione, he was acting like a freaking jerk. Even if he called anyone else a bitch, I woulda punched him anyway," Charlie told me, trying to get it in my head. He shook my shoulders while I giggled. I don't know whether I should be happy about that fact, I thought he punched Ron for me, not because Ron just said bitch.

"Thanks." We walked back to the beach. "Anyway, I gotta talk to Remus now. We need to, especially after what happened yesterday." Nodding, he placed the ice bag now filled with complete water on the ground and removed his shirt. I tried hard not to stare, unsuccessfully. He didn't notice, thank god!

"That's much better. It's a shame you girls still have to wear tops, you're gonna boil to death!" he exclaimed. Laughing, we stopped at my hut.

"I'm going in to change. And DON'T look," I warned as I stepped inside. I shut all the curtains and changed into my two piece, which had a whole bunch of blue flowers on it. Once I stepped out, he was still there.

"Nope, didn't look," he replied honestly as he dumped another ice pack away. "It's just too freaking hot! What happened to this morning when it was nice and cool?" He was in his swimming shorts, black ones. Charlie turned to me and grabbed me and placed me on his back.

"Hey!" I cried out while laughing. Then he gave me a piggy back over to where Remus was.

"Here you go, your magesty," he fake called out to Remus who was grinning. Crap, he knows. He definitely knows.

Remus led me over to an area shaded by the trees and started talking. "First of all, you gotta tell him soon." I shook my head and told him to continue. "Second, I'm sorry that I never actually got a chance to know you when you where younger."

"It's ok, it was all Voldemort's fault. I'm sorry that you really did lose a lot during that night," I reassured.

"It's ok. Anyway, where do you plan on living? I had asked Arthur who portkeyed to the Ministry this morning, and he said that we're leaving your parents' house as it is until you come back."

"Where are you staying?" I asked hopefully. He grinned at me.

"When we leave here, Sirius, Harry, Tonks and I will all be going to Grimmauld Place and stay there. Charlotte will probably come too."

"Can I come? I also wanna play with the baby! You can adopt me! No, you can take your legal parentship of me again!" Remus looked hopeful.

"Do you really want to?"

"Yes!" Remus hugged me, his face smiling. "So what am I supposed to call you?"

"You can call me whatever you want, even Moony," he told me, putting me down.

"Ok, Moony. Yippee!" I ran over to Ginny excitedly.

"I know part of the reason why you're excited," she and Luna said without looking up from their game of Exploding Snap. I rolled my eyes, she meant Charlie carrying me.

"Shut up," I told them teasingly. "Besides, it's not like Luna didn't do a lotta flirting either." She flushed. Then I thought of a muggle game. "Please hurry up, I wanna do a game which is gonna be very interesting." I took out my wand which was in my purse that I carried and summoned a quill, ink and piece of parchment. "This is called MASH. Who wants to go first?"

Luna dn Ginny ended their game quickly. "I will," Luna offered. I smirked.

"Name two guys," I ordered.

"Neville and Harry." I wrote it down and thought for a minute.

"Lord Voldemort and Snape," I muttered and added the names. "How many kids would you like to have?"

"2."

"Another number."

"Three." Then I thought again. "One billion and twenty." Ginny and Luna burst out laughing.

"Whatcha doing?" Charlie asked as he, Bill and Harry came over.

"I don't know, Hermione won't tell us," Ginny told them as they sat down around the picnic table. They read the parchment and started laughing.

"Ok, I wanna see what happens next," Harry said. I smirked again.

"How much different money would you like?" I asked Luna.

"1000 galleons a months and infinite number," she answered dreamily. Then I wrote down 'half a knut' and three sickles.

"What are two jobs you would like to have?"

"Um, a healer and an unspeakable," Luna ansered again dreamily. I also wrote down Death Eater and a divination teacher.

"Pick a number between one and twenty," I finally said. She picked seven. They watched as I crossed out stuff on every seventh count until I got: "You're gonna live in an apartment, you'll marry Harry, you'll have 1000 galleons per month, you'll have one billion kids ad you'll be a divination teacher!" I cried out while laughing. Everyone else including luna started laughin too.

"That's cool, do me," Charlie protested. I wrote down Girls: Hermione, Alicia, Charlotte and Fleur (Bill:Hey!) Kids: 5, 4, 200 and 13 Money: infinite money, 1 billion galleons, 0 and 5 sickles and Job: Auror, Quidditch player, new dark lord and house elf

"Ok, pick a number," I told him, just hoping that the girl would be me.

"6." I crossed out girls, kids, money and jobs until I finished.

"Ok," I started while blushing. "You're gonna live in an apartment, you'll be married to me," they sniggered, "you'll have 200 kids," I turned bright red, "you'll have a billion galleons but you're gonna work as a house elf." Bill, Harry, Luna and Ginny burst out laughing while Charlie grinned.

"I guess working as a house elf wouldn't be so bad if I have you as a wife, a billion galleons a month and 200 kids," Charlie commented while I blushed. I also giggled a little, was that a compliment?

"But you're working as a house elf!" I exclaimed while laughing.

"Oh yeah? Can I do yours?" he asked challengingly. Rolling my eyes, I gave him my quill and parchment which he turned over.

"Guys: Anonymous, Harry. Kids: 2,3. Money: 1 million galleons, 5 trillion galleons. Job: Healer, auror. Now you're supposed to make 2 of your own," I told him while he scribbled away. I read over his shoulder. He had added himself and Bill, 2 knuts and 1 galleon, 500 kids and 10 kids and the jobs as librarian and model. "My number's 6 too."

He started crossing everything out. "Married to anonymous, 500 kids, lives in an apartment, have 5 trillion galleons and you're a model!" I turned red while everyone else laughed.

"Actually you wouldn't be a bad model," Harry commented, his eyes glistening mischeviously. "Maybe you shuld be one and then you can get the attention of whomever you love, specifically Anonymous." They laughed while I giggled at bit. That plan was crazy, he'd never notice me.

"Really," I told him. "I wouldn't because I'd have to show a lot of skin, especially during the winter."

"Oh, like what you're doing now?" Charlie asked innocently. I took Bill's drink and sprayed him with it. "A-hey!" I giggled before giving Bill his juice again. Bill just took the cup and poured the rest of it on Charlie.

"That should cool you down since you were complaining you were 'hot'," Bill commented.

That night, we ate in the restaurant. Then I saw George asked Alicia for a walk on the beach. She accepted and half an hour later, she came back squealling with a diamond on her finger. Aw...

That was all on July 19th. Now it's August first, a couple weeks after. Let's just say that we've been doing a lot of flirting and so on, and we've all grown closer to each other and everything. I was wondering who the girl Charlie loved is, because whenever we talked about her, he always tenses up. Oh well. Tonks' stomach is now huge and is kicking early. I always giggled and tried to listen to the baby who would be my first sibling. So adorable.

Seamus and Dean had to leave early, they hadn't planned on staying all holiday anyway. Unfortunately, tomorrow, Ronald was coming back since Molly and Arthur didn't trust him by himself in the house. I've had fun so far, but I only have three weeks left. And I want to make the summer vacation a time to remember.

A/N There, so Charlie and Hermione flirting and a bit Ron bashing. I do not own the game Truth Or Dare either or the game MASH. Anyway, please review and I'll update!
