"Happy birthday!" It was nearly night, and all-day Charlie had been getting gifts. Logan from Romania even came by to visit, Primrose was overjoyed! Charlie looked at Rolf and smiled back at him.

"Thanks, did you do it?" Charlie asked, today he was going to propose to Athena, even though it's been a year or so, he believed they were ready to get married. Rolf was going to help with the proposal, they were going to go to the basement, and then there would be flowers, made by Primrose of course. And of course, Rolf helped him get the ring.

"Everything is ready," Rolf said, "Here," he handed him a small box. Charlie opened it and gasped. The ring was diamond, in the middle it had a sapphire and two diamonds on the outside of it, it was shaped beautifully and Charlie just loved it!

"She's going to love it, thanks, how much was it again?" Charlie asked.

Rolf shrugged, "Uhh I don't know, 500 Galleons." he lied. Rolf was bluffing, the ring had been 3,000 but if he told Charlie that he'd freak out. Rolf didn't mind spending 3000, because to him it was barely anything.

Charlie nodded, "Thanks," Charlie walked and saw Primrose and Logan talking. His body ached with pain so he decided to sit down, and he watched his daughter talk to his assistant.

"So how have you been doing, Primrose?" Logan asked with a small smile. They were dancing together, Charlie sighed loudly and soon someone sat next to him.

"Not enjoying the party?" the person said. Charlie turned and found himself in the eyes of Athena.

"Oh stop," he muttered.

"Stop what?" Athena asked curiously.

"You're so gorgeous," he whispered. She grabbed onto him and kissed him, he pushed her away again and winced. "Sorry, I can't, I love you, just not right now okay?" he said. "It just hurts," he added.

Athena nodded, "I know, sorry baby," she whispered. "I love you too,"

Charlie smiled and looked at Athena, "I do," he whispered back, "So much," He then continued to look at Primrose and Logan, Logan suddenly grabbed onto Primrose's hand and Charlie saw her flinch.

"Will you go out with me?" Logan asked. Primrose nodded.

Charlie looked at his daughter and stood up. He walked towards the two and looked at Primrose, "Hey are you okay?" he asked.

Primrose smiled, "Logan!" she cried out happily. Charlie laughed.

"Okay baby, are you going to come with to Rolf's?" he asked.

"Okay!" Primrose said with a smile, and let go of Logan's hand, and walked with Charlie. The plan was, they were going to sneak out of the party, with George, Bill, Rolf, and Athena. Go to Rolf's place, and Charlie was going to propose.

The group walked outside, "Where are we going?" Athena whined, "I was just talking to Ginny!" she said. Charlie held in a chuckle, Bill was helping him walk. He looked at George who was smiling.

"We're going to see Brisk," Charlie said. "Or at least try to," he added. They apparated and Charlie threw up after, he clutched his stomach. George quickly cleaned up the mess and coughed.

"Oh god, stupid apparating," Charlie muttered angrily. "Sorry,"

Everyone just mumbled and they walked into Rolf's house, Luna was already there. The room was decorated and beautiful, Charlie smiled as they walked down the basement, which was even more beautiful, sparks in the air. Brisk was there, Charlie smiled and limped towards the dragon slowly, Primrose ran ahead.

"Hello, Brisky!" The dragon growled happily as it saw Primrose. Charlie smiled and sat down watching Primrose, he was going to do it. It was now or never. Athena was sitting next to him and it was perfect, he had the ring in his pocket. He looked at Athena who was staring at Primrose, he smiled thinking of her but was worried about what she might say.

"Hey, Athena," Charlie whispered softly, his voice was soothing.

Athena turned back and looked at him, "What is it?" she asked, with a grin. Charlie stared at her eyes and how pretty they were, and how- He knew he didn't deserve her, but at the same time he did, they were better together! Athena looked at him confused and laughed but she was still very confused.

"You know that day we first met, and you said to me "One day you'll be mine!"?" Charlie started remembering when he first met her back in his sixth year. She laughed and grabbed onto his arm before nodding. "Well, I was just thinking, and I realized, I want to spend the rest of my days with you," he whispered. He touched her forehead and reached for her hair, brushing it with his fingers.

"Really?" Athena muttered, "Well, I do too," she said with a smile. She grabbed Charlie's hand and placed it on lips, he smiled knowing that intimacy was going to hurt but leaned in and kissed her passionately, soon she was laying on the dirty ground of the basement. Charlie grabbed onto her and lifted her back up before kissing her again, ignoring the pain in his body. He wrapped his hands around her shoulders and looked at her.

"Will you marry me?" he asked, meaning every single word. He wanted to marry Athena, he wanted her to be his, no one else's. Athena grabbed onto his arms and pushed him away, hurting him but he shook it off quickly.

"Are you being serious?" she asked, shocked.

Charlie looked around for a moment before looking back at her, "You think I'm not?" he asked, with a grin.

Athena looked at him and smiled, "Then yes! Of course, I will!" she said laughing. She hugged him carefully and looked at him before seeing flowers falling down on the two, Charlie kissed her and wrapped his arms around her body. He then grabbed onto her left hand and looked at it before putting on the ring. She gasped in awe, "Where did you get this?" she asked.

Charlie ignored her question and stood up, he then suddenly felt pain, and it was way worse than before he clutched his body and moaned. "S-Sorry," he tried to say, he suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe and then collapsed onto the ground, trying to get air. He felt dizzy and everything felt like a blur around him, he saw one of his brothers pick him up and they apparated which made Charlie's injury even worse. He screamed as he felt the pain jolt through his body from his feet to his head, and he felt someone place him onto a bed. He suddenly breathed again, gasping for air.

"Oh Charlie," Charlie heard a sob beside him that sounded like an older woman's. His mother probably, he looked around and sighed in relief when he realized only Athena, Bill and George were here. Thank goodness Primrose wasn't here or else she'd freak. He turned to see his mother crying on his bed he looked at her before turning to face Bill.

Bill looked at him angrily, "Take it easy next time Charlie, you know you aren't ready," he said. Charlie stared at him blankly, and felt tears in his eyes, he couldn't help it, it was like he was never going to heal.

"I'm sorry," Charlie muttered, "I'm so sorry," He shook his head and stared at nothing in particular. "I'm sorry," he repeated.
