A sunset with Charlie.
Even though most of the Wedding was sorted Mrs. Weasley still needed help with the Burrow and because the children were mostly busy, in other words they would disappear to The Potters or The Black household, wherever Harry happened to be, whenever their mother mentioned she needed help, I found myself offering my services to Mrs. Weasley, who thanked me enormously and put me to work.
First of I was instructed to feed the chickens, which was quite an easy job, then I helped Molly with the washing, which I did at home with my own mother anyway, but then came the difficult part, de-gnomeing the garden and making it look like it was a neat tidy garden.
I had never de-gnomed a garden in my whole life and let me tell you it was hard. They were slightly dim, the gnomes, because the minute they knew that the de-gnoming had started they would pop up from there hiding places and watch so it was quite easy to find them but ever so difficult to get rid of them.
The first one I picked up bit me, I cried out in pain and threw the hand he was biting forwards, and surprisingly he flew about fifty foot in the air before landing in the field opposite the Burrow. I looked at the hand that had been bitten and saw two puncture marks out of which blood was seeping slowly through. There was a chuckle from behind me and I whirled round to see Charlie Weasley stood against the gate that led back to the house.
"Nice try," he said when I noticed him. He stood and walked towards me. "But you want to grab them by there ankles, like this, see," and with that he bent down seized a gnome by it's ankle, twirled it around his head like a lasso and then let loose, I watched as it flew into the air and landed about fifty feet or so away. He turned to face me. "Twirl them round your head first," he instructed. "Makes 'em dizzy so they find it harder to get back in."
I nodded and seized a gnome by his ankles, he squealed at me, but I ignored him and instead swung him around my head before letting him go. I could hear him cursing me as he flew through the air and landed ten feet in front of the gnome Charlie had thrown. Charlie let out a low whistle and then grinned at me. "Competition to see who can throw the gnomes the furthest?" he asked. I grinned back and nodded, I was never one to turn down a challenge and soon the air was thick with flying gnomes.
"Wow," Charlie panted as we finished. "Your good." He told me. I smiled graciously and replied with,
"Your not so bad yourself." He grinned and slumped into the grass, he patted the patch next to him and I sat down.
"Beautiful day," he said looking up at the sky, I nodded and looked as well; the sun was setting making the sky orange, red and pink. "We can watch the sunset better from that tree." He said pointing to an old oak that towered over the wall in the corner of the garden.
"I can't," I told him. "I promised your mother I'd get the garden sorted." He grinned and stood up.
"No need to worry about that," He said pulling out his wand and as I stood on my feet, he flicked it and I watched amazed as the grass shot back into the ground. "Now how about that sunset?" he asked turning to face me and that was how I found myself in the next moment climbing a tree with Charlie Weasley. "There you go," he said helping me with the last part of the climb. "Now isn't that beauty?" he asked as we turned to watch the sun. "You don't get many sunsets like this in Romania, not this beautiful anyway." He said smiling.
"Do you miss Romania?" I asked. He nodded and turned to face me.
"I miss my friends and the dragons, but I like being back in England. It's good for me, I don't visit often." He informed me. I nodded and turned my head back to the sunset, it was now slowly falling behind the hill the other side of the village.
"What about you?" he asked. I turned to face him confused. "Do you like living in England?" he asked. I nodded smiling.
"Yeah, England's beautiful, you should see the sunset down on the beach in Devon, it's sensational," I told him. "The water reflects the sun and it makes it seem like the ocean is on fire, it just makes you feel warm and happy inside." I told him. He nodded and turned back to the sunset. For the rest of the evening we sat watching the sunset in the peaceful and blissful silence.
The minute the sunset it was pitch black and we carefully had to find our way down the tree, Charlie went first and was directing me down the tree, when with out warning my foot slipped from the branch I was stood on, I screamed as I dangled in the air, my arm clinging onto a not very steady branch while Charlie hurried to get to the bottom so he could reach his wand, he had just touched the ground when the branch creaked under my weight and finally with a sickening crack it broke and I tumbled to earth only instead of landing with a sickening crunch I landed softly in someone's arms, someone's strong smooth arms. Charlie's arms.
"Jeez," he said as he looked down upon me. "Are you ok, Sam?" he asked. I nodded. "Are you sure?" he asked concerned. "Your shaking." It was true I was shaking but not from fear but from laughter, I had been holding it in but finally came bubbling out. Charlie probably thought I was mad but I didn't care.
"I always seem to be falling," I explained through giggles. He nodded smiling and soon he too was shaking with laughter. We dropped to the floor laughing and after finally calming down we lay looking up at the sky that twinkled with diamonds. I sighed and turned to face Charlie. "This has been an amazing day," I told him. He looked at me and smiled. "Thank you Charlie." I whispered, he took my hand in his and kissed it before turning back to the stars still holding my hand. I smiled and turned back to gaze at the stars.
A/N: Fourth chapter up. I guess we can see who Sam fancies. :D. Hope you liked it. :D
