Hermione cuddled into Charlie and tried to go to sleep but she couldn't, she laid as still as she could but ended up tossing and turning a bit.

"What's wrong, love?" Charlie asked her.

"I'm just not tired enough to go to sleep, yet," Hermione sighed. "Maybe I'm too excited."

"Is that so?" Charlie asked her with a wicked grin that she could feel against her neck.

Charlie kissed her lips sweetly before he pulled the covers back and got out of bed. He came over to her side and offered her a hand. When she had settled onto her feet, Charlie led her over to a curtain. When he pulled it back Hermione was able to see the Eiffel Tower in all of its lit up glory. Charlie stood behind her and held her close to him while she stood in amazement.

"This is spectacular," Hermione was mesmerized by the sight she was seeing.

"I'm glad you like it, it took me some thinking to figure out what to do for you."

"Why?" she asked.

"Because you deserve the world and I can't give you the world. I thought I could at least give you a piece of it, though," Charlie told her earnestly.

"Thank you," Hermione turned to hug him.

Charlie waved his wand and music started playing, he danced with Hermione not caring for a second that they were scantily clad. No one could see in the room, after all, it was a wizard's hotel. Charlie left the curtain open and sat down on the floor with Hermione sitting in front of him. He massaged her shoulders and then laid her down on her stomach after summoning the blankets and pillows. Charlie started on her back and moved down further and further, to her thighs, calves, ankles and then her feet. Hermione thought she would pass out from pleasure, her feet were sore from working at the shop for the last week. Charlie flipped her over and took his time kissing from her ankle up to the top of her thigh. He skipped over to her lower belly and then went up from there teasing her. Charlie latched on to one of her piercings and then when Hermione was moaning in pleasure, he switched to the other. Charlie nibbled on her collarbone and the crook of her neck, then right under her ear. Hermione groaned in frustration, she was hot and bothered and really wanted Charlie to stop teasing her. Hermione shoved Charlie back and saw the shock on his eyes.

"Are you al-," Charlie started

"Knock it off," Hermione set her resolve.

Hermione pushed him back until Charlie was finally laying on his back, she was done being teased for the night, it was his turn. She kissed him roughly and when he started trying to grind his manhood against Hermione she held him down, the best she could. Hermione bit his bottom lip and pinched his nipple at the same time, eliciting a moan from Charlie. She nibbled from his neck all the way down his chest, she licked his nipple to tease him and then went to his ribs. Charlie's ribs turned out to be ticklish and Hermione would have been sorely tempted to tickle him if it weren't for wanting to keep him on the edge. She bit each hipbone and then ran her nose over his penis while he still had his boxer briefs on. She breathed out a hot breath, knowing that it would arouse him further. Hermione ran her hands down his thighs a bit roughly and then back up. She hooked her fingers in the waistband and pulled them down to just above his knees. Instead of pulling them all the way off Hermione put her knee between his and put her weight on them to help hold him down. Hermione grabbed him in both of her hands and she knew he would never fit in her mouth but she wasn't too worried about getting him all the way in, she was worried about teasing him. She looked at his face and smirked at him when their eyes met. She kept the contact as she leaned down and placed his head in her mouth. Hermione refused to be the first to break the eye contact. She ran her tongue over and around the head before licking it roughly on the underside. Charlie hissed out a breath and threw his head back, closing his eyes. He bucked his hips up and Hermione moved with him so that he wouldn't get any more depth. She licked him roughly all over and could taste his precum when she came back to his head. Hermione raked her nails over his ribs while teasing him and watched him squirm. Hermione started chuckling and Charlie practically spasmed at the feel of the vibrations and Hermione smirked, as well as one could smirk with a rather large penis in their mouth, anyway. Charlie's hands tangled in her hair but he didn't force her one way or another.

"Are you done teasing me, you evil, little, witch?" Charlie moaned out.

"That's no way to talk to someone that has your penis in their mouth," Hermione snarked at him before licking him, again, from his base to his tip.

"You're right," Charlie conceded.

Hermione finally moved back and pulled his boxer briefs off and climbed back up him, holding his gaze. Hermione stole his wand and placed another anticonception charm before laying it to the side and leaning back to sink down on him. She slowly worked him into her and leaned her head forward, using her hands on his chest to balance. Charlie reached up and ran his hands over Hermione's generous breasts. She bounced up and down slowly making sure to go as high as she could, before sinking back down all the way to the bottom. Charlie gripped her hips and it took no time at all before they were both thrusting wildly, in the depth of passion. Charlie was rubbing circles on Hermione's clit while she moaned loudly. He flipped them over and pinned Hermione's hips to the floor so that he could take over with a steady rhythm of thrusting and rubbing her clit. Hermione wanted to be in charge and tried to fight him but he pinned her hands above her head with his left hand before smacking her arse with his right hand and then going back to playing with her clit. Hermione moaned when he smacked her and bit her lip. She never once thought that she would enjoy something like that, but she had. Charlie chuckled at the look of shock that took over her face before smacking her arse, one more time. Hermione was close and was just getting wetter and wetter by the second. Charlie captured her mouth with his and bit her lip a bit sharper than he meant to. Hermione gasped, and he apologized.

"No," Hermione stopped him, "it felt good," she admitted.

"You're just full of surprises," Charlie said roughly into her ear.

It wasn't long before Hermione was feeling the, now familiar, tightening in her stomach.

"I'm close," Hermione breathed out throwing her head from side to side.

"Come here, love."

Charlie grabbed her hair to keep her still and kissed her thoroughly while pumping in and out of her, bringing her to her climax right before Charlie reached his. Charlie rolled to the side when they came down so that he wouldn't squish her and then curled her into his side.

"What about now?" Charlie asked her.

"What?" Hermione asked, trying to catch her breath.

"Are you tired enough to go to sleep, now?" Charlie laughed.

"You mean now that some really hot guy has got me off twice? Probably," She joked.

Charlie grabbed his wand and cleaned them up before he pulled Hermione to her feet. He set the bedding back onto the bed before leading Hermione over to the bed, tucking her in once more and crawling in the other side.

"Today has been amazing," Hermione told Charlie. "Thank you for everything."

"Definitely. Thank you for making today what it was. I don't think today would have been half as good if I was with anyone else in the world."

"I'm glad to hear that," Hermione mumbled as she started falling asleep.

"Goodnight, love."

"Goodnight, Charlie. For real, this time," She giggled.

Hermione woke and stretched lazily, she felt as if she was wrapped in the clouds. When she rolled over she fell onto Charlie, waking him up. The night before jumped to the forefront of her mind. Charlie had taken her on their first actual date and then booked a rather posh hotel for them to stay the night in. Everything had been perfect, and Hermione was sad to know that today was her last day before heading back to Hogwarts. As happy as she was to get to go back for her final year, that was how sad she was about leaving Charlie. Hermione decided she would write to him at every possible opportunity, now that she had an owl, and she would meet him on as many Hogsmeade weekends as she could. She would come home for breaks, she was positive the year would fly by without the threat of Voldemort hanging over their heads.

When she looked at the clock Hermione noticed it was already a quarter to noon, Charlie had really worn her out the day before. Charlie held her tightly and grinned lazily at her.

"Good mornin' darlin'," Charlie rolled her over and pinned her down.

"Good morning, babe. When do we need to check out by?" Hermione didn't want him to have to pay extra but didn't want to have to leave either.

"Noon, we need to be getting around," Charlie didn't seem to want to leave any more than Hermione.

Charlie grabbed his bag and gave Hermione another outfit he had picked out, this time it was a pair of light skinnies and an emerald green long sleeve V-neck. She pulled on her boots and Leather coat from the day before and was ready to go. Charlie was picking up his bag when she stood up, He had on dark jeans, a soft gray V-neck and his black coat and boots from the day before.

"Let's go, love," he held his hand out to her.

The happy couple rode the lift down and when they exited they went over to the front desk, for the first time.

"Mr. Weasley, I hope everything was to your liking," the concierge said.

"It was, I was just letting you know that we are checking out. Thank you for accommodating us on short notice."

"Definitely, thank you for all of your help last year."

"We will be seeing you again," Charlie said in farewell.

They left and spent a couple hours touring more shops and sites. Charlie left the shop they were in, in search for some hot chocolate as the day was a bit dreary and cool. Hermione had only mentioned the drink because she had been browsing around and found a couple things she wanted to get Charlie. As soon as he was out of sight Hermione rushed to the till to make her purchase. When Charlie came back she was again perusing the isles. She found a couple more things that she thought would make good Christmas presents and decided to grab a business card.

"These have our location and our sister locations, and the back will change to let you know when there are sales or new products," The store associate told her when she handed Hermione a card.

"Thank you," Hermione noticed that there was another location coming soon. "If I don't make it here, again, then I will make it to the one coming to Hogsmeade."

"That one should be opening in a few weeks or less. They want to be open and running efficiently in time for the first Hogsmeade trip for the students, there will be several specials going."

"Good to know," Hermione smiled. "Thank you."

They left the shop and decided it was time to head home. It was already near three and they Hermione had a lot to do before Hemione left in the morning. When they arrived back home Hermione was slightly surprised that Mrs. Weasley didn't rush out to meet them. They entered the kitchen and Mrs. Weasley smiled at them.

"How was your trip?" she asked them.

"It was good," Charlie told her holding his right hand, with Hermione's left hand in it, out for her to see. "You were right."

"I told you so, and I'm only saying that because it's a good thing," Mrs. Weasley hugged Hermione tightly then hugged Charlie, too. "I will be honored to have you as a daughter for real, and if things don't work out I'm still keeping you," Mrs. Weasley told her. "I think I hear bells, though," she told them with a wink.

Hermione was really pleased to know that Her second mum approved of their relationship. Charlie got called out to play quidditch with Ginny, Ron, and Harry. Hermione stayed back and helped Mrs. Weasley with getting things ready for supper for a while before she was shooed out of the kitchen to start her packing.

Hermione went upstairs and pulled everything out of her beaded bag, onto her bed. She opened her third drawer and put all of her negligees in the bottom of her trunk, first. Then her panties and socks followed. Her sweats, workout clothes and pajamas, (save a set each for her last night) pants, shirts, jackets, and coats. Basically, the last things she would need to get to when she first arrived. She placed her textbooks on the bottom of the other side and then put her quills, inks, parchment, potions ingredients, and all other supplies. Hermione placed all of her uniforms on top of her supplies leaving one, again, for her to wear the next day. She was surprised at how fast she was able to get things done. All of the Christmas presents that she had bought she put in her beaded bag along with the rest of her books that weren't required for the year, but she still wanted to take. She looked around and was a bit sad to see it so empty. Hermione made sure she had all of her shoes and stockings, that all of her drawers were empty, nothing was under her bed, and that the closet was empty. She had a few sentimental items including a picture of her parents and a blue jean quilt from her mom. She was done. Nothing personal was left in her room. Hermione changed, went for her run, and came back to shower. She magically washed her workout clothes and put them in her trunk so that she would have less to worry about later.

Down in the kitchen, Mrs. Weasley was finishing supper when Hermione came back in.

"Why do you look so glum?"

"I'm just kind of sad to leave. I've been with Harry and Ron every day for over a year, now. I've been back here since the end of the war. I want to go back for my last year so bad but I also don't want to be away from everyone so long," Hermione confided.

"Does Charlie have something to do with this?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Yes, but everyone else does, too. I really love where Charlie and I are at but it's not the only reason I'm sad."

"You just need to list the positives," Mrs. Weasley told her. "Ginny and Luna are also going back. Voldemort is gone, what else can you think of?"

"I'm going to get my N.E.W.T'S," Hermione said. Mrs. Weasley nodded and Hermione continued. "I am learning how to relax and won't be so stressed out this year. I won't be babysitting Harry and Ron but that's also a negative so that one doesn't count. I'll have Hogsmeade weekends, though, maybe you can all come to see me, too, not just Charlie but all of you," Hermione perked up.

"We will definitely come to see you, and you will have Christmas and Easter holidays to come home,"

"Thank you, mum. This really is home, too." Hermione hugged the woman.

Supper was a loud affair, Luna joined them at the table, again. George set off some of his new fireworks for them to enjoy, afterward. Charlie disappeared inside while Hermione talked with Ron and Luna, they were extremely happy together. When Hermione looked up again she saw Charlie walking out, levitating a cake. When he set it down he broke out a round of butterbeers for everyone.

"There are three very important women, in my life, returning to Hogwarts, tomorrow," Mrs. Weasley started. "Even though I will miss you I am extremely proud of all three of you and I cannot wait to see you graduate. I cannot wait to see where you go and who you will continue to become. Good luck, have fun, and enjoy your final year," Mrs. Weasley toasted Hermione, Ginny, and Luna.

Everyone raised their butterbeer as they let it sink in that tonight was their last night together for almost four months. The group stayed out chatting for a bit before Mrs. Weasley ordered them all to bed. Hermione was about to change into her pajamas when Charlie interrupted her.

"Before you turn in George wanted to see you, he said he would be in his room," Charlie told her, "you can tell me goodnight after," he winked at her.

Hermione went down to the first floor and knocked on George's door. George ushered her in moments later, closing the door behind her.

"What's up, George?" Hermione was a bit worried something was wrong but at the same time, she thought he would come to her directly if something was amiss.

"I just have a few things for you," he told her. "Before you say no just know it's too late. I want you to have these things and that's the final answer, okay?" George asked her.

"Okay," Hermione was a bit unsure but knew if George wanted to give her something he was going to find a way to do it.

"Okay, I want you to have the map. Don't just use it to catch people out of bed if you're doing prefect rounds. I know you will but use it for fun also. Sneak out at night, go to Honey dukes, I don't care, just do something mischievous," George instructed her. "To help you get away with things I got you something, something that is also for your safety, I will feel better knowing you have this. If you are ever in a bad situation or if you just can't deal with being stared at, or whatever, I want you to use this," George pulled out a package and handed it to her.

"George!" Hermione wanted to tell him no, that it was too expensive, but she knew that it would hurt his feelings. "How did you get your hands on an invisibility cloak?" Hermione knew they weren't easy to find.

"I actually found two, I have one to give to Ginny," George admitted. "It wasn't the easiest thing, but I needed them for my peace of mind just as much as I thought you would."

"Thank you," Hermione wrapped her arms around him in a hug.

"You're welcome. There's one more thing I have for you. You cannot open this until tomorrow night. Put it in your trunk and when you get back to school it's all yours. You'll understand, then."

"Should I be worried?" Hermione joked.

"Maybe," George laughed.

"Goodnight, George," Hermione hugged him.

"Goodnight, Hermione."

Hermione went up and put her presents in her trunk before she changed into her pajamas. She dumped her stuff off in her trunk after magically cleaning it and went to tell Charlie goodnight.

"I really wish I thought I could get away with sleeping in here," Hermione told Charlie when she hugged him tightly.

"I do, too, but this term will fly by. You'll see," Charlie squeezed her tight and gave her a long, lingering, passionate kiss. "Goodnight, love."

"Goodnight, Charlie."

Hermione went to bed and, as exhausted as she was, fell asleep quickly. She awoke abruptly at a knock on her door.

"Hermione, dear, it's time to get moving. I have breakfast ready in the kitchen," Mrs. Weasley told her.

She dressed quickly before tossing her pajamas in the top of her trunk. Everything she owned other than her wand and the uniform she wore, was in her trunk. She levitated it downstairs with Crookshanks and her owlet, that she had simply named Hootie, and joined everyone for breakfast. It was a loud event and Hermione couldn't help being in a good mood. At half ten Mrs. Weasley announced it was time to go. She grabbed Ginny's trunk and apparated to the platform. Hermione grabbed her trunk and pets to apparate and Charlie grabbed Ginny, she would be turning seventeen on the eleventh and couldn't take her test until then. Hermione looked around and saw that Harry and Ron had come to see them off, as well. They found a compartment rather quickly, since they were early, and placed their stuff inside. Luna joined them not long after. They talked until a ten-minute whistle sounded. Mrs. Weasley hugged them all, said her goodbyes and apparated home. Harry spent a few minutes alone with Ginny, while Luna and Ron had their time. Charlie pulled Hermione aside and handed her something.

"I wouldn't open this where anyone can see," he told her. "This is something special, just for you." Hermione tried to guess what it was, but Charlie had put it in a box and wrapped it. It was pretty heavy but didn't rattle.

"Great, another present I get to sit and think about until tonight," Hermione fake pouted.

"Yes, love, just someone else showing they care about you."

"True, I got you something, too," Hermione admitted. She handed him a small, thin, package. "Don't open this until Friday,"

"Why Friday?"

"Because, I don't want to give you major hints,"

Charly grabbed her up in a tight hug and kissed her passionately, for a minute, before breaking it off and stepping back.

"You better go."

"Thank you, Charlie." Hermione didn't really know what all she was trying to thank him for but kind of for everything.

The girls boarded the train and waved goodbye until they couldn't see them, anymore.
