I do not own Harry Potter but I do own this plot and Charlie!

Charlie had donned his death eater robes and had his gold half mask on his face, he was currently hiding in an alley waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

It was a Hogsmeade weekend and that's how Charlie found himself hiding in the shadows waiting for his intended target to come by so he could deal with him once and for all.

Charlie didn't have to wait very long before he heard the loud arrogant voice of one Ronald Weasley proclaiming loudly to all his friends. "Did you see the look on Malfoys face? He looked petrified, too bad the damn beast didn't maul him worse!"

The brunette growled lowly as he heard the few Gryffindors laugh in agreement. He waited until the perfect moment before he jumped out of the alley and grabbed Ron by the neck pulling him close.

Charlie looked at the petrified Gryffs and smirked viciously before leaning in close to Ron's ear. "Say goodbye pest cause this is the last time you'll see anyone ever again."

Ron's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to scream but Charlie apparated right on the spot, disappearing before anyone could do anything.

-(break)-

Charlie had apparated to one of the Potter manors, it was one of their oldest so it still had dungeons, which he thought was very fitting.

Charlie sat in front of Ron who was chained by his wrists, he was waiting patiently for the boy to wake up so he could start his questioning before he killed the boy and was done with it all.

It wasn't long before Ron groaned and his eyes fluttered open, he looked around confused before fear and then anger ignited in his eyes as he glared at Charlie. "You traitor! What do you think your doing? Unchain me this instant!"

Charlie rolled his eyes and stood up walking to stand in front of Ron looking at him with blank eyes. "I'll explain this only once so listen well, I will be asking you a few questions, you will answer them, then after you answer all my questions I'll kill you."

Ron started screaming and struggling before tears appeared in his eyes. "You can't do this to me! Harry will never forgive you for this! He'll hate you once he finds out!"

Charlie rolled his eyes, really the red head had no brains at all. "You're a fool if you think Harry will ever find out, he'll mourn for you of course but he'll get over it and move on, you will nothing but a fleeting memory to Harry."

That seemed to strike a nerve with Ron and he finally started to sob loudly and ugly. The noise was honestly grating on Charlies ears and it did give him a twinge of guilt but the boy chose to put himself in a war, he chose to be on the side that wanted to harm his Harry, so Charlie was forced to do what he had to.

With his resolve strengthened Charlie pulled his wand out facing Ron. "I want you to tell me what Dumbledore's plans were for you."

Ron just continued to blubber, sobbing ugly fat tears and Charlie sighed hating what he was about to do. "Crucio."

Charlie held the spell for about fifteen seconds before dropping it. Ron was still screaming even after he ended the spell but Charlie just asked. "What was Dumbledore's plans for you?"

Ron looked up angry but scared and whimpered out. "He made a deal with my m-mom I I would befriend Harry, m-make sure he didn't try studying and remained naïve and stupid to everything, he wanted me to e-encourage Harry to fight you-know-who."

Charlie hummed as he thought over what Ron said, Charlie knew Ron wouldn't know truly vital information, the only who would really know Dumbledore's plans would be Severus, but he had to deal with what he had.

Charlie was thinking over things Ron might know before his eyes lit up and he looked the red head in the eyes. "Who all is on Dumbledore's side?"

Ron was shaking and he sobbed hanging his head. "Please! I can't tell you that, please, please just let me go, I just want to go home."

The older Potter sighed deeply and snapped his fingers in front of Ron's face bringing his attention to him. "Listen Weasley, I'm not one who goes around torturing and killing people in hordes, but unfortunately I am not a good person, I never claimed to be, there is no situation where you leave here alive."

Charlie paused a moment to let that sink in before taking a step back. "If it's any consolation I don't wish to do this and I don't get any enjoyment from this."

Ron remained silent as tears dripped down his face. He looked up to Charlie and spoke softly. "All of the Weasley's are in on the plan, Cho chang, Cedric Diggory, Seamus Finnigan, and Hermione Granger are the only people I know of that are involved, as for adults I would assume professor Lupin knows about it, along with professor Snape. There is probably more but Dumbledore didn't tell me, Hermione would know more about everything than I would."

Charlie nodded thinking over all the information, he wasn't too surprised to hear about Cho Chang seeing as she was trying to drug Harry with a love potion, but he was a little surprised to hear about the Diggory boy and Lupin, he'd have to look into those claims more deeply before doing anything hasty.

Charlie turned to Ron again and lifted his wand, he smiled sadly. "Don't worry Weasley, this won't hurt at all and it'll be over soon, I am sorry for doing this."

Before Ron could scream and beg for his life Charlie uttered the two curse words that would end everything quickly. "Avada Kedavra."

Hundreds of miles away from the Potter manor, Molly Weasley dropped all the dishes she held and screamed falling to her knee's and sobbing.

Her clock that showed all of her children had moved her youngest sons position to deceased. She screamed and cried wondering what could have happened to her poor baby.

Charlie snuck back into Hogwarts and into his room as he waited for the stampede to make it to his rooms. He knew he'd be one of the suspects for Ron's disappearance, but he truly didn't care. They could pin nothing on him.

Just as Charlie thought there was an urgent knocking on his doors and he sighed opening the door and was surprised when he was pushed aside, and Ginny Weasley and Hermione Granger burst into his room.

They started tearing through his rooms and he growled grabbing both girls by the shoulder and jerking them back. "What the hell do you think your doing coming in here destroying my room!"

Before either girl could comment Dumbledore and McGonagall stepped into his room and Dumbledore spoke up. "Calm yourself Charlus my boy, they only came because they believe you were the one who has taken young Mr. Weasley."

Charlie rolled his eyes glaring at the group in his room. Before he could speak Harry burst into the room eyes blazing in anger. "Charlie isn't the one who kidnapped Ron! The others all said it was death eater with a gold mask!"

Charlie quickly made his way over to Harry and placed a hand on his cheek making him look up to him. "Hey calm down Har bear, you don't need to worry about me."

Harry looked at Charlie worried and anxious. "But they're trying to blame you for a horrible thing instead of being out their looking for the person who did it!"

Charlie sighed deeply and made Harry look him in the eyes. "Harry the reason I'm being questioned is because in Voldemort's ranks there was only two people who ever wore a gold mask, those two people were me and Bellatrix Lestrange, we all already know Bellatrix is in Azkaban so naturally they'd suspect me."

Harry looked horrified and he looked up at Charlie scared and the beginnings of betrayal in his eyes, but Charlie was quick to assure him. "It wasn't me Harry, I threw my mask in Voldemort's face when I left someone must have gotten a hold of it and is trying to use it to frame me."

Harry sighed deeply in relief before looking to Charlie apologetically. They were interrupted by Hermione shouting. "Liar! I know it was you who took him! You threatened me and Ron just a few weeks ago, you told us to stay away from Harry and everything!"

Charlie rolled his eyes. "Telling you to stay away from intended isn't a threat, besides I believe Mrs. Lovegood and Mr. Longbottom were in the vicinity and can back up my statement."

Charlie then turned to Dumbledore to speak directly to him. "I also have an alibi, I've been in the medical wing keeping Draco company before he got released, don't believe me, you can go ask Draco."

Dumbledore stared into Charlies eyes and when Charlie felt a prob at his mind he slammed his shields down glaring into Dumbledore's twinkling blue eyes.

The elderly head master sighed before smiling at the two girls. "I don't believe we'll be finding Mr. Weasley here girls, lets leave young Charlus alone for now and focus on trying to bring Ronald home."

The girls looked like they wanted to object but followed their headmaster and head of house out of Charlies room. Charlie groaned flopping down onto the couch.

Harry walked over and kneeled in front of him looking him over worriedly. "Are you okay Charlie?"

Charlie smiled weakly and nodded. "Don't worry about me Har bear, now how do you feel about taking a trip to Azkaban tomorrow?"
