Hermione's POV
I leaned in closer and closer until I felt his breath ony my face.
"HERMIONE!" Crap. We broke out of our position with my face heated indefinitely and very disappointed. Who said that? I hate that person now. No, two persons.
"Guess what? We did it! We didn't get to the top but we balanced on top of it!" Ginny exclaimed, with Sirius running up next to her. They high fived and cheered. Ooh, I'm gonna kill them I should have never introduced them to surfing! Did they even SEE us in a compromising position?
"That's great," I said a little coldly. They gave me weird looks.
"Anyway..." Charlie continued. "I'm going to my hut. I'll see you guys later." I watched him go, so disappointed now. And a little angry.
"OH!" Sirius finally understood then. "You like him..." I bit my lip.
"Yeah, and...nevermind." No one needs to know that we were about to kiss. Wait a second...if he was going to kiss me, then...? What does this mean? "I'll see you guys later too."
I ran over to his hut and was about to knock when the door opened. "Hey," BIll and Remus greeted. "Don't try anything. We'll lock the door." I gaped. They saw? Or maybe they just know what I'm gonna do?
I entered the building and closed the door. Charlie was lying facedown on his bed. Walking over to him slowly, I decided it was time for my Gryffindor courage. "Charlie?' I said so softly that I bet he didn't hear me. I knelt by his bed. "Charlie," I whispered. He looked up and was surprised to see me.
"What was that on the beach?" he asked me. "Were we about to...?"
"Yeah, I guess so." We sat there in silence.
"Hermione? I, I've always wanted to tell you that I," he paused. "I l-love you." My heart melted. Did he mean that? I didn't say anything, I didn't move. Charlie trembled. "I knew it. I knew it was too good to be true. I understand if you hate me and never want to see me a-again. I-I'll just go." He stood up and made a move to the door. Now he looks like a much unwanted puppy.
However, before he could go, I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back down on the bed. I firmly pressed my lips against his. He relaxed and just fell to the bed like he was actually melting. (A/N say it with me. Aw...) When I pulled away and opened my eyes, he just stared at me. After a while, I giggled.
"What?" he whispered, annoyed. I giggled some more.
"I love you too." His jaw dropped, so I took this opportunity and kissed him again. "But let's just NOT do anything but snog?"
He gave me a grin as we lay side by side each other. "Agreed." And we spent the next few hours or so mouth to mouth.
Nobody's POV
Harry was suspiscious. He had asked around where Hermione was, and people like Remus and Bill were just whistling around and pretending they didn't know anything. "Really, where are they?" Remus took a quick look around and whispered.
"Go look in Charlie's hut east window." Harry was curious. So he took a fast peek through the window and came back grinning.
"Oh. About time."
"We saw that they were about to make out on the beach, but a certain girlfriend and godfather of yours," Bill started, giving Harry a pointed glance, "interrupted it."
"Looked so cute and adorable too," Remus added while the two sniggered. Sirius walked up to their table at the restaurant.
"I heard everything you said. So is it actually true?" he asked Harry. He nodded and Sirius started whooping and catcalling and flapping his arms.
"YEAH! GO HERMIONE AND CHARLIE!" Everyone started to whoop too and cheer. Harry grinned at Bill and Remus before rescuing Sirius from getting pumelled with questions from Mrs. Weasley.
Bill smiled before immediately frowning. "What?" Remus asked him. Bill nodded his head to a distraught Ron. They both tensed up and eyed Ron very carefully. "What do we do?"
Bill thought very carefully. "We talk to him." Remus looked at him as if he were insane. Bill ignored him and the eldest Weasley went over to the youngest Weasley boy.
"Ron? Are you ok?" Bill sat down next to him at the table. Ron grumbled. "Ron, if you really do love her, which I'm sure you do, you have to ler her go."
Ron just mumbled. "How?"
Bill sighed. "Sometimes if you love someone with all your heart, then you have to do your best to let them be happy. And Charlie, you want your brother to be happy too, right?" Ron nodded slightly. "You just ha ve to think of others before yourself." Ron didn't move, but Bill could tell he was thinking more than he had in his entire lifetime. Bill stood up and headed back to Remus.
"Well? What did he say?" Remus demanded.
"Nothing, but I can tell that my words got to him." Nodding his head in satisfaction, Remus joined Sirius again.
Hermione's POV
When we finally broke apart and got up, we smiled at each other. "How are we gonna tell the others?" I asked Charlie who was trying to recomb his hair. He shrugged and gave me a peck on the cheek.
"We don't, they'll find out when they find out. Right now, it's just the two of us." I gave him a sweet smile and he grinned. "Come on." He held out his arm and I took it once again.
"Yes sir!" We walked to the restaurant and as soon as we opened the door, chaos exploded. "Ah!" Molly was hugging me, Sirius was cheering, Remus was grinning and whooping with Bill, Ginny was on Charlie's leg, Harry was giving both of us hugs at the same time, Arthur was immediately congratulating Charlie, the twins were shooting fireworks in the sky and everyone else was cheering. What the hell?
We both toppled over and fell to the ground with everyone else on top of us. We started laughing. "How did you guys find out?"
Everyone pointed at Sirius, who pointed to Harry who pointed to Bill and Remus. They looked around and pointed at us. Damnit. "Thanks a lot." They held out their hands and helped us up. Then Ginny and Luna started pestering me about only God knows what and the guys started catcalling on Charlie again. I rolled my eyes and walked to an empty table and ordered some lunch.
"When did this happen?" Harry demanded as we settled down and they resumed eating. We shrugged.
"It was supposed to happen on the beach but a certain girlfriend and godfather of yours," Charlie gave Harry a pointed glance and glared at Ginny and Sirius, "interrupted it." Ginny and Sirius smiled sheepishly.
Harry blinked. "That's exactly what Bill said. You two really are brothers." The two said people shrugged and resumed to their mini food fight. So immature, and even at their age.
I was about halfway through my lunch when I stopped and my mind whirled directly to Ron again. Ron. Oh great. There he was, sulking in the corner of the cafeteria. I looked at Charlie who nodded at me and we both got up.
Once we reached there, I felt Charlie's grip on my hand tightened. I squeezed it back reassuringly. "Ron? We need to talk."
Ron stared up at us and nodded. We both sat down and opened our mouths to speak but Ron did first. "I'm sorry." I gaped. "I'm really happy for you, ok? I now know what I'm supposed to do if I'm jealous, and it's just ignore it. I won't beat you up, Charlie cuz I know I can't and I won't try anything on you Hermione." I blinked a couple times. Ron sounds, mature for once. And honest. "Anyway," Ron continued, holding up a letter. "I got a letter from Pavarti Patil. She wants me to go to her apartment someday to have tea." We smirked.
"Good luck with that, bro," Charlie told him and punched him lightly on the shoulder. "Come on." We dragged Ron back to our table and forced Ron to talk to everyone. Molly wiped a tear away from her eye and hugged Ron.
"I won't disown you," she whispered to him. I hope that his friendship with everyone will be full again.
Later that night, Harry was playing chess with Ron. Muggle chess. "I won again? That's not right, either you stink at muggle chess which is the same as wizard chess, or you're letting me win!" Harry exclaimed. Ron smiled sheepishly.
"Actually, it's because I'm a bit rusty." I think Ron's suffered enough. Anyway, we were all the beach, just dong some light talking. Fred and Angelina were making out on the sand, George and Alicia under that palm tree and Neville and Ron were whispering sweet nothings in each others' ears. Then there was Remus who was petting Tonks' bulgy stomach and Charlotte and Sirius snogging while standing up against the cliff wall.
I looked around. "Everyone's happy," a whisper was at my ear. Then I felt a nibble. I giggled.
"Stop," I said and pried Charlie off of me. He pouted. I laughed. "I love it when you pout."
"I love it when you smile and laugh," he told me and gathered me in his arms. I leaned against his chest and relaxed, watching the moon, which was full tomorrow night. Remus was portkeying himself to the Shrieking Shack and would portkey back later.
"So when do you wanna get married?" Charlie asked me. I laughed and punched him in the chest.
"We gotta see if this relationship lasts, first," I muttered to him. "Did you know that I had a small crush on Bill on fourth year and somewhat was with Fred and George for a while a couple years ago?" Charlie blinked at me.
"Is it all because of the Weasley charm?" he asked, grinning. I grinned too.
"Of course, but your's is the best," I muttered and gave him a kiss on the lips. "Now if you excuse me, we girls ahve a girls' night out in the hot springs." I stood up and called out to all the other females, who grinned and go up to get their bags. "Did I mention that we're gonna conjure up our own sauna?"
A couple hours later, we were either in the hot springs pond or in this tub we conjured up full of mud. "This is my idea of the greatest spa on the planet," Charlotte exclaimed as she wrapped a towel over her shoulders. "I'm going to the waterfall."
Apaprently, there was valley near the ocean's edge and a river carried water to create a lake there and a waterfall. A couple other girls stood up and followed her there. This island is so amazing and relaxing.
When I finished with the hot springs and the mud, I went to the waterfall too. Everyone was splashing each other and scrubbing mud of themselves. "Let's make a sauna here," Luna declared, waving her wand. A bulding the size of our huts appeared and we all stepped inside.
By the time we all walked to Charlotte's hut to have a sleepover or something, we had soft skins and were in our bathrobes. That's what mud and heat can do to your skin, it makes your skin so smooth!
"Accio make up kits!" I shouted and said kits plus some of the other girls' flew in from the window. We started plopping on the beds, chairs or the floor and painted each other's nails or braided our hairs. "This is fun, I don't know why we haven't a girls' night out til tonight," Ginny commented as she placed a purple butterfly clip in my hair. I took out my bright red lipstick that I have just to write phone numbers or use on guys.
"I say we pull a prank on the guys," I called out. Some of them stood up, took mascara and all that eye liner and nail polish and we grinned evilly.
It was well past midnight now, so they're probably asleep. They had all agreed to stay in the guys' hut for the night, so we crept alongside the building. When we entered, we giggled slightly. This hut had Charlie, Harry, Ron and the twins snoring on the beds or floor.
"Draw a red moustache on Harry," I whispered to Ginny as I took out blue eyeliner and gave Charlie a unibrow and a moustache and those chin beards. Then I gave him long eyelashes and put pink blush on him s he looked ridiculous. Angelina and Alicia also entered the building and remade their respective boyfriends and we went to work on Ron. Then we charmed the make up so they would last about three hours after they woke up.
"How mad do you think they'll be?" Luna questioned when we all dashed into Charlotte's hut again. They shrugged.
"We'll juz kizz them and dey zhall forgive uz," Fleur told them before we giggled.
The next morning, I woke up to angry shouts and bangings on the door. We giggled and swung the door open and burst out laughing when we saw our handiwork.
"You did this, didn't you?" Charlie demanded, trying to wipe red lipstick I placed on him. I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I charmed all the other guys' make up so they won't come off for a while, I purposely missed you," I whispered to him before giving him a kiss. He grinned at me before they ran out to take a shower.
At breakfast, all of they guys make up excluding Charlie's were still on their faces. "WHAT DID YOU DO?" Sirius and Harry exclaimed in horror as they looked at their faces in the mirror. Their nails were pink.
"How come Charlie's went off?" Remus asked. Tonks and I shrugged.
"Apparently I favor him and Tonks doesn't," I answered sweetly. Charlie swept behind me and gave me a bear hug.
"Aw...thank you Mione! At least I won't be laughed at and humiliated unlike the others." I grinned and realized how lucky my life was. I had great friends, a fgreat boyfriend, a dad and step mom and a soon to be step sister or brother some of the greatest non-blood brothers anyway.
"So can we plan some weddings?" I asked all the engaged couples when we settled down for brunch. That includes Remus and Tonks, Fred and Angelina and George and Alicia.
"I want mine soon!" Charlotte called out. She gave Sirius a look, which we laughed at. He flushed before sitting down and thinking a way to propose to said girl.
"Well, we're having a double wedding!" Alicia squealled. "Fred, George, Angelina and I!" Aw...
"What about you, Moony?" I inquired. He grinned.
"It's during Christmas holidays." We gaped. I squealled and hugged him.
"And we have better news, we're not having one baby but triplets!" Tonks shouted. I choked on my drink. I started coughing violently. Charlie patted and rubbed my back, but he was apparently in shock as well. Molly squealled and ran over to Tonks.
"So you're gonna name all of them Jamie?" I asked incredulously. Remus laughed and shook his head.
"Nah, just the first born or one of them." How did they end up with triplets?
Sirius was cheering, as usual. "Woohoo! GO REMUS AND TONKS! You rock!"
I shook my head and rolled my eyes, but I can't believe I'm not gonna have one but THREE siblings! "I think this whole trip to the island is so surreal," I muttered to Charlie. He nuzzled my neck. "Or not."
This was way too good to be real. The only thing bad about it is my foster parents are dead. If I had just stayed at home I could have defended them.
"If you stayed home then you would have been hurt," Charlie whispered to me. Ok, what is it with everyone reading my mind? "And I'm not reading your mind, I just know what you were thinking," he added when he saw my puzzled look, which now turned to bewilderment.
"You know me so well." I felt like the luckiest girl ever, and for once I felt special.
A/N There, the second last chapter. I might right a sequel, but it'll have to have some action in it.
