A Special Bond

Charlie/Teddy

Charlie walked into the cottage, pulling an irate Teddy Lupin behind him. "Did you lose a kid?"

He took in the small crowd gathered inside, all concerned about Teddy's disappearance.

"I told you, I'm not a kid, Charlie. I'm eighteen. I'm an adult!" Teddy exclaimed.

"There you are!" Remus snapped, setting his gaze on his son. "Do you know how worried you had us? Did you go to Romania? How did you go to Romania?"

Teddy smiled dreamily at Charlie, trying to hold his hand. "On an airplane. The wait for a portkey there was two weeks, and I didn't want to wait that long, because Charlie invited me!"

"Whoa, that didn't happen," Charlie said, folding his arms to keep them away from Teddy. "Teddy mentioned an interest in working with dragons, I sent him an info pack and told him to fill it in and give it back. I didn't mean in person."

"But it's better in person, don't you think? More romantic?"

There was a long silence, and Charlie turned to Remus and Sirius pleadingly, but was scared by the dark look on Sirius' face.

"Charlie took me to dinner," Teddy added. "That was romantic too! He introduced me to everyone. Of course he couldn't say boyfriend, because if he helps me get a job, it'll look bad if they know we're dating, but -"

"Teddy, enough," Charlie said, feeling very scared for his general health. "We aren't dating. He came to eat with me because it was almost dinner time when he arrived, and he sat in the office until the emergency Portkey was ready."

"But you said I could write -"

"I said it's best that you write, rather than just showing up."

Remus sighed. "Thank you for bringing him back, Charlie," he said, with a tired smile. "Teddy - grounded. Sirius - grounded."

"Me? What did I do?"

"Where else does Teddy get this from? Certainly not me. This is exactly you when you decided you want to date me. You followed me around talking about the bond we shared and referring to yourself as my boyfriend."

"That's so cool. Me and Charlie share this awesome bond too! It's fate!"

Charlie groaned. He had been looking forward to a quiet afternoon in, and maybe an early night. Not a hyper eighteen year old knocking at his door and trying to wrangle an invitation to stay in his bed.

To which Charlie replied with a firm 'NO'.

Teddy was attractive and interesting. He was also the son of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin and Charlie Weasley didn't have a death-wish.

"Good luck dating Teddy," Remus said. "Don't let Sirius scare you off."

"But, I'm not -" Charlie tried, his words failing as Remus left the room in search of a strong drink.

"So… I think we need to take a little walk, Charlie."

Charlie gulped at the sound of Sirius' voice.

"Just don't hurt him pops, I love him!"

Charlie had the feeling denying everything just wasn't going to cut it.
