A.N. — Happy birthday, Charlie Weasley! You are the last of your family to feature in this story, but not the last mention of the gaggle of redheads. He's probably the closest to an asexual canon character that exists in the series.

346. Charlie Weasley

Charlie Weasley was married to his job. Not to an actual dragon (that'd be weird even for him), but he lived on the Romanian dragon reserve. Even his off hours offered no escape from the impact of his profession.

A faint smoky odor persistently clung to his clothes. His dreams were painted in scale motifs, soundtracked with guttural growls and roars. His time amongst the reptiles affected him more subtly, too. He preferred his food piping hot now, his drinks with a bit of kick. Charlie never considered settling down in the conventional sense; the dragons would always come first.
