Disclaimer: Look at the other six chapters I've written so far!

A/N Charlie and Hermione will be together soon!

Hermione's POV

I tensed up. Ron looked upset. "Hermione. I- I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I was wrong, I didn't mean those things. I guess my mind was just clouded by judgement. Can you please forgive me? Let's jsut stay as friends." He better not try anything.

I asked him briskly, "Why should I believe you?"

Ron sighed. "I had a feeling you would say that. So I wore this." He held out a pendant which was around his neck. It was glowing blue really strong. I looked up at Ron again. Did he mean it?

"I-I'll think about it." He gave me a smile before turning and walking away. The old Ron was returning. I wasn't even sure I want him to. I turned around too and started to head for the beach. I wanted some time to think, to sort out my feelings.

A few minutes later, I was sipping on Quantrie and looking at the ocean. It was almost dinner, I had missed most of the day again. The sun was almost setting, brightening the clouds pinkish orange. It looked beautiful.

"There you are," a voice interrupted me. I knew that voice anywhere, Charlie. "I went into the hut and saw blood everywhere. What happened?" Crap, I had forgotten to clean it up. I sighed.

"I had a Magical Nightmare. In it, I got hurt," I told him. He sat down next to me.

"Those are rare. Where'd you get hurt?" I showed him my right arm. I don't know why I'm hurting all my arms. First I fractured my left and then I get bitten in the other. I sighed again and tried to smile.

"Snake bite," he guessed correctly. I refused to look at Charlie, I made my gaze fixed on the sun. "Why aren't you looking at me?" He sounded hurt and disappointed, like an unwanted and lost puppy. A cute one, that is.

"It's not you, it's just that I'm tired." Liar, you have all the energy in the world that you wanna use to try and kiss him! a voice screamed in my head. I ignored it and fingered my drink.

I saw out of the corner of my eye Charlie lay down next to me. "I had a magical dream too, a couple weeks ago," he said. My eyebrows quirked.

"What was in it?" My heart raced. Magical dreams only happened if you love someone, like someone wetting the bed in the muggle world. So if I say it was him in it...

"Well, there was you and Ron and Malfoy and a couple other girls. And I was in a suit of armor." My eyes widened but I didn't comment. That was my Magicial dream too! Except for the girls... He gave a small laugh. "I was the knight in shining armor of...of the girl in there. When I woke up, I was wearing the uncomfortable armor." He gave me a small smile, but I refused to look directly at him. "Why won't you look at me?"

When I didn't answer, I felt his fingers on my cheek and move my head to face his. I didn't look at him though, I shut my eyes. He sighed.

"Well, if you don't wanna do anything, then I'll do something. Like throw you off the cliff?" He was joking, right? I shot straight up just as he grabbed my waist and carried me to the giant cliff.

"No!" My pleas were in vain as he walked to the cliff, grinning. I grabbed onto his neck tightly, so that if I fall he would fall too. "Charlie, lemme go!"

He laughed a dropped me to the grassy ground. "Ow." I rubbed my bottom and looked up to glare at him.

"Hmmm...let's go swimming!" I gave him a look, telling him he was in trouble if he did what I think he was gonna do. He did. He picked me up over his shoulder and jumped.

"Ahh!" I screamed. My cries were muffled when we slammed into the water. Once we resurfaced, I laughed at Charlie before splashing him and dunking his head underwater.

"Why you!" He grabbed both my upper arms and began dragging me in the water, it was fun.

"You're too wild and flirty for your own good!" I told him when he tried to give me a pat on the head; his hands had been full of wet sand.

"Says who?" he asked while trying to swim away as I threw wet sand at him.

"Says me!" I yelled before he dunked under water. He came up from under me and I was on his shoulders. "That's an example!" He dropped me into the water and I giggled after I spat the salty liquid out. He came over to me and gave me hug. We look so weird, especially in our wet clothes. He hugged me tight and tried to give me a kiss on the cheek. I kneed him slightly in the stomach and he let go. Then I pulled his arm into the water and we both went under.

"Hey!" I giggled. He was so fun to be around. Charlie came up and sprayed water at me, some water in my mouth and eyes. I wiped it away from my shocked face. Oh he's gonna get it!

"Why you little!" I dunked under and grabbed some seaweed, trying to fight the waves pushing us back to shore. Swimming back up, I threw the seaweed into his face, which he wiped away disgustedly. Serves him right.

He tried to splash me but a wave caught him off guard. I splashed him instead and laughed at his drenched state. "I think we better go, we're getting awfully close to the jagged rocks," he told me, pointing to where the rocks and rapids were about ten feet away. Nodding, we tried to swim away. But then I let out a squeal. A huge tidal wave was coming in. I panicked.

"What do we do?" I screamed. He grabbed my hand and began swimming strongly in the other direction of the rocks, we me trying as hard as I could as well.

"Come on!" he yelled. Tears streamed my cheeks. If that wave hit us, it would bring us to the rapids and the rocks, the chances of getting out were slim to nothing.

The wave drenched us. I felt his hand slip and water coming into my mouth, choking me.

A minute later, I came up and spat the water out. Looking around frantically, I couldn't see Charlie. Where was Charlie? Spinning around to face the rocks, I was in horror to see Charlie over there, red on his head. I prayed that it was only his hair. "CHARLIE!" I screamed. I swam over to him, the waves had stopped somewhat so the fast moving water against the rocks were nice and soft now.

Charlie's head was in the water, and the water around him contained blood. "Oh god." I grabbed his head and brought him into the air and searched for a pulse, I had wanted to be a healer myself. Once I found one, I breathed out with relief. I started swimming back to shore.

When I was on the sand, I dragged Charlie on it and collapsed to the ground. I placed my hand over his heart and checked to see if he was breathing. He wasn't. "No..." I tilted his head back, pinched his nose and breathed into his mouth. I saw his chest rise and fall. I did this about five times before he choked up water and began breathing on his own. Panting for breath, I raced over to my purse which was on the sand where we had been laying. I took out my wand and ran back to Charlie.

Running my wand over him, I found out that he had a gash on his temple only and everything else was ok. Sighing in relief once more, I cleaned the cut and stitched it up on the beach. I will not mention my mouth to mouth session to anyone as long as we live.

By now, it was around dinnertime, so no one was around. I fell to the ground beside Charlie and started crying. It was all my fault he was hurt, if I just looked at him before! If I just looked at him, he wouldn't have dragged me to the water.

A few minutes later, he moaned and let out a grunt. "Huh?" I crawled over to him and hugged him.

"I thought you were gonna die," I whispered to him as he opened his eyes. His fingers went to his temple before looking at me.

"What happened?" I told him and burst into tears.

"It wasn't your fault, if I hadn't thrown us off the cliff...besides, I'm fine." I sat back and wiped away the tears. Then I used my wand to summon his. Charlie grabbed it thankfully. "You have to admit that it was fun, though. And thanks for saving my life," Charlie said good naturedly. I rolled my eyes. Leave it to Charlie Weasley to say something that was life threatening fun.

"Really, you could have died!" I cried out and huffed, crossing my arms around my chest. This time, he rolled his eyes.

"Let's just not tell anyone, k? They don't need to know." When I nodded, he helped me up even though he was the injured one and we walke back to my hut. I cleaned up the blood with a wave of my wand and turned to glare at Charlie. "What?"

"If I gotta change, you need to get out," I said impatiently tapping my foot. He smirked.

"I was hoping you wouldn't remember I was here and do so anyway." I wrinkled my nose in disgust and whacked him on the head. Pervert!

"Out!" I pushed him out of the hut and slammed the curtains together before changing into a long green skirt and a blue top. Then I exited the hut to see Charlie doing the same in dry clothes.

"You look good, milady. Let's go, madam," he said, holding out his arm. I took it while giggling before we walked to the restaurant.

"There you to are!" Harry exclaimed when we entered. "Where were you, snogging off in another closet?" I frowned at him

"No, but I can tell you have." It was true, his clothes were rumpled, his hair unusually messy and his lips were slightly pink from Ginny's lip gloss probably. He blushed before giving me a hug and making me sit down. I avoided the stare of Ginny and Ron and tried to eat my steak. It was good, but I wasn't hungry, especially after I had swallowed a mouthful of salt water.

After dinner, which was extended a bit for Charlie and I, I quickly rushed to my hut and changed. Luna came in a few minutes after and went straight to bed. Ginny came in after as well. "Hermione, can we talk?"

"No."

"I want you to talk to me!" Closing my eyes, I counted to one hundred. Whatever she wants, she always gets because of her fiery temper. She doesn't do this all the time, but I was tired. I ignored Ginny's protests and fell to sleep.

However, I had forgotten about the Magical dreams.

(Dream)

I was sitting on a rock, staring out at the ocean. Footsteps came behind me. When I turned around, I barely had time to register it was Charlie before me kissed me. A minute later he pulled away.

"I would jump off a cliff for you," he said before jumping down into the rocks.

I sat up, sweating and breathing in heavily. That wasn't a Magical dream, it was just a dream. And it had been for several hours too, it was nine in the morning."My life is a freaking confusing one," I muttered. Maybe it's because I haven't had my hands on a book for about a month now. Damnit, I need to read a book!

Getting up, I changed and ran to the restaurant. "What can Shella get Miss Hermione?" Shella the house elf asked. I bit my lip in pity, SPEW coming into mind.

"Um, are there any books anywhere here?" I inquired. I nearly slapped myself, that sounded much like a ten year old!

"Yes, yse. Shella gets Miss Hermione her books!" Shella snapped her wrinkled fingers and disappeared. I sat down at the table and thought about yesterday's events and the dream. Shuddering, I sipped on my apple juice before opening the Daily Prophet which I read every week.

DEATH EATERS STILL AT LARGE!

Great, no wonder they were at my parents' house. They wanted revenge on Harry which would be through me, because Harry just had to kill Voldemort. Nibbling on a couple grapes, I read the article which read that there were about fifty Death Eaters left, including the new ring leader Lucius Malfoy. Draco must be devastated. I think that's why he and his mom are going to Alaska, to go in hiding.

"Hermione?" I didn't look up, it was Ginny. "Hermione, I'm sorry about what happened the other day, with you and Harry." I snorted.

"Why'd you even think that? You know who I like," I asked her, still not looking up.

"Yeah, but I always thought that since you two were so close, ya know. It would happen." She slid onto the bench beside me. I closed the Daily Prophet and faced Ginny.

"Ginny, no matter what happens, Harry loves you. Sure, he loves me but not in that way," I added, giving a laugh. "You just gotta trust that Harry would never cheat on you and if I DID like him, I'd never steal him from you." Ginny smiled.

"I know, and I'm sorry I ever thought that way." I gave her a sisterly hug. "You know, if I marry Harry, and you marry Charlie we'd be sisters," she whispered. I giggled.

"I wish." I really do. "And then Harry could actually be my brother too! And Bill and Fred and George!"

"Yeah, we can all be part of my one big family," Ginny added while we giggled.

"Nice to know you too made up," Luna told us when she sat down. I gave her a grin.

"If I ever get married, I want the both of you to be my Maids of Honour," I said, putting my hand up and my other to my chest as a code of honour. "Harry can be the ringbearer and whomever my husband chooses shall be our Best Man." We giggled. I don't know when or how Luna became one of my best friends, but when you actually get to know her, the stuff she talks about starts to get to you, and rub off on you a little too.

"Yeah, I want you two to be my Maids of Honour as well," Luna and Ginny said at the same time. I smiled. Just then, Molly came up from behind us.

"Aw...My three little girls are talking about getting married already!" she squealled while giving us a hug. We all turned bright red as we saw the guys were behind her. Especially Harry and Ron. "I really hope you tell him soon," she added to me. "I want lots of grandchildren!" I don't know how that could happen if Luna isn't part of the family, but I think Molly considers her as one now. Last Christmas she sent Luna a sweater, so she's adopted for sure.

"Mum!" Ginny exclaimed, jumping up still as bright red as an apple. "Stop embarrassing us!"

"Marriages, pregnancy, then grandkids!" Molly continued as if she hadn't heard her daughter. She wiped a tear away before joining Arthur at their small table.

"Marriages, pregnancy, then grandkids!" Fred and George imitated. "Hermione, we need to talk to you." My face went from red to pale. Oh crap. I glanced at Bill who had an 'I told you so' look on his face. Great, after Fred and George is everybody else.

"Do I have to?" I asked, annoyed and turned to the book Stella gave me. I pretended to read.

"Yes, and you can't read that book because you've already read it," they told me before grabbing each of my arms and started dragging me out the building. I groaned.

Once I had stood up again, they crossed their arms and grinned. "We know who you like," they chorused in a singsong voice.

"Please don't tell, Bill was right you would be the next to know," I begged them, going down to my knees. They looked at each other. "I'll do anything, everything," I added for good measure. They smirked.

"Then do us a favor," Fred started.

"Tell Charlie," George continued.

"that you love him," Fred said.

"and kiss him," George finished. My face fell.

"I can't do that!" I yelled, getting to my feet. Time to take drastic matters into my own hands. I whipped out my wand. "You will not tell anyone or I will hex you all to oblivion!"

"Ok, we won't," they said simultaneously, but still wore smirks.

"You better not," I warned them. They grinned before entering the building again. I felt the heat rush to my cheeks when I followed them and saw Charlie give me a curious glance.

"I hate those two," I muttered as I sat down next to Bill. He gave me a grin too.

"The only people left are Sirius, Neville, Ron, Charlie and dad," he told me very loudly. I pushed away my plate and banged my head on the table, not getting up. "Ouch, that must have hurt." I groaned.

"Ifeelnothing," I mumbled. He gave a laugh and poked my side. I let out a yelp and sat up again. "What was that for?" I demanded.

"What was what for?" he asked innocently while the twins and Fleur sniggered. Well, Fleur more like giggled.

"That poke! And stop laughing!" I ordered the twins and Fleur.

"We ar zowrry! But we can naught help zees!" Fleur said while laughing. I pouted. Fred or George leaned in.

"You know, if you keep pouting he might notice how cute and adorable it is and he could..." he started whispering before I slapped him on the face.

"FRED WEASLEY! He is Fred, right?" I asked Angelina and Alicia. They're the only ones who can tell the difference. They nodded, and I continued my ranting. "DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT AGAIN BECAUSE IT WOULD NEVER COME TRUE!" Nobody had heard what Fred had said, but everyone heard what I screamed.

"But you want it to," Fred told me while snickering. I blushed before holding my fork in front of his face. "or not."

"So what was Bill saying about me, Neville, Ron, CHarlie and Mr. Weasley not knowing what?" Sirius questioned me, wagging his eyebrow. I rolled my eyes.

"Nothing, nothing," I said, banging my head against the table again. Ow...

"Fine, whatever. So where were you and Charlie yesterday?" he asked again. I groaned.

"Fine, if I tell you, will you stop pestering me?"

"No. But tell me anyway."

"Moony! Make him go away!" I whined. Remus shook his head.

"I wanna know too."

"Damnit."

"No swearing young lady."

"Shit."

"Hermione..."

"Ok, I was at the beach, and Charlie came," I started, giving said boy an apologetic look. He shrugged but shrank back while pointing to his temple and Molly. Uh oh. "And we went to the water. Anyway, a huge tidal wave came up a few hours later and Charlie...nevermind."

"What? What happened with Charlie and the tidal wave?" Molly demanded. She turned to her second eldest son, who shranked back in his seat again. She stood up and placed her hands on her hips.

"Nothing, mum," he muttered. Molly reached over and yanked on his ear. "OW! ThetidalwavecameinandpushedmetothejaggedrocksandIgothurledintotherocksandgothurtandHermionegotmetotheshoreandfixedmerightup!" he said in a rush while rubbing his injured ear. Molly blinked.

"What?" She suddenly went over to him and pulled him in a hug. "Are you alright? Where did you hurt? Did Hermione get hurt?" She is such a mother hen.

"Did you catch that sentence?" Harry asked everybody, who shook their heads. "Repeat that please, Charlie." Charlie took a deep breath and said it slower.

"The tidal wave came in and pushed me to the jagged rocks and I got hurled into the rocks and got hurt and Hermione got me to the shore and fixed me right up," he breahed out much slower. Everyone gasped.

"Are you alright?" Remus asked me while Molly started inspecting Charlie, who was trying to push her away. I nodded.

"I didn't get hurt, and all Charlie hurt was his head."

Bill snorted. "I think he's already hurt it ever since he was little," he told me. Charlie heard that.

"Hey! I resent that!" Charlie exclaimed while crossing his arms. I giggled.

"Well, I think it's true too," I told him sweetly. He pouted. He looks cuter each time he does that.

Ron was looking back and forth at me and Charlie. I frowned and exited the building in a hurry when I was done. He knows. He knows! What if he hurts Charlie? He hurt Draco when we were going out...

"Wait up!" Sirius ran over to me when I was going to the beach. "Can I try surfering? Please?'

"Sure, but it's surfing not surfering. Anyway, you sure you can do it?" When he nodded, I told him to go change as I prepared the boards.

"Ok," I started explaining to him the basics of what to do on the board when we were in the water. "Here comes a wave. Try to get on top of it." I haven't yet, I don't think I ever will.

When the wave was about a meter away, we both stood on our boards and began directing it across the wave. The wave was just over Sirius' head, so he had to bend his knees real low or else he would have been knocked off.

Gliding the board through the waters, I tried desperately to climb the wave and get on top. "You can do it!" Sirius yelled as he fell off his board. Heehee.

"Woohoooo!" Wow, I got on. I waved and flapped my arms in the air as I jumped into the water.

"Great job!" Sirius commented me and patted me on the back before going out into the ocean to try again, only this time with a determined Ginny following.

"Can you believe that we only have three weeks left?" Harry asked me as I gulped down ice cold water. I shook my head.

"I know, it seems just like yesterday we were all at the Burrow touching that eeny bitty portkey and coming here," I added. "Vacation's almost over..."

The temperature was really hot today. When I stepped in the sand it was so hot I jumped. "Ow! Ow! Hot, no. Ow!" I kept screaming as I walked over to the towel which was under the umbrellas and nice and warm, not cool but good enough.

"That's why I prefer tanning here," Charlie told me as I lay down next to him. I grinned.

"I think you're tan enough, especially from working with the dragons." He scowled.

"I quit from that job cuz apparently there were so little dragons nowadays," he told me.

"How? What about Norbert?"

"He's fine, doing great. And even though the pay is great, we just stand around there doing mostly nothing all day."

"Sounds boring."

"Doesn't it?" He took off his sunglasses to take a better look at me. "What about you, what job are you getting?" I shrugged.

"I was thinking about being a healer. What are you gonna be doing, now that you're back from Romania?"

"I was thinking about being an auror. By the way, if I was knocked unconscious underwater, wouldn't my lungs have been full water?" He gave me a look, and I blushed. Again.

"Well, yes but I used CPR on you." I hope he doesn't know what CPR is.

"I know exactly what CPR is, so what was it like kissing me all over again?" He laughed at my embarassed expression. "Just kidding, I know the answer. It was breath taking, literally." I rolled my eyes.

"So are you ever gonna tell this girl that you love her?" I asked him, trying to not sound too curious. He shrugged, then turned to face me directly in the eye.

"Depends on if she tells me first." Was she me? Was he asking me to tell him first? "What about you?"

"Depends on if he tells me first."

I stared directly into his eyes and he stared back before he and I started to lean in and close my eyes. He cupped my cheek. My heart raced, my fingers which I pressed on his chest tingled. OMG! Am I gonna kiss Charlie Weasley?

A/N Dun dun DUUNN! Review and see if they're actually gonna kiss for real this time!
