He likes me.

Tears streamed down my face as the fire enclosed around me, the flames were so high that no-one could see me anymore. Suddenly a bright white light landed in front of me, it was a Hungarian Horntail Patronus, Charlie's.

"Sam," it spoke with his voice that sent shivers down my spine. "Apparate out, now, Dumbledore's lifted the charm temporarily anyway. Come on."

"I… I…" I sobbed. "I can't." I told the Patronus, the Patronus bowed it's head and flew back to it's owner, next second I heard someone apparate next to me and arms encircled me, I sobbed into them and a second later we apparated out.

As I lifted my head from my savours chest I could see a bunch of Professors putting out the water, Harry was helping them. Finally the fire went leaving a big burn in the middle of the Great Hall. I watched as McGonagall said something to Harry who nodded and came over.

"Harry," I sobbed as he knelt down next to him. "I'm so sorry I didn't… didn't mean to get you… in… in trouble." I was sobbing uncontrollably now.

"It's ok," Harry said soothingly. "But why didn't you just apparate out?" he asked.

"I'm... I… was… scared… I'm afraid… of fire." I chocked between my sobs. I saw Harry's face fall.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked. "I would never have used that spell if I had known."

"Didn't want you to think less of me." I muttered. I heard Harry chuckle and felt his hand squeeze mine.

"I could never think of less of you," he told me. "You're one of the bravest people I know, you saved my parents life." He whispered. I smiled watery at him before burying my face in my saviour's shirt.

"I've got her." A male's voice said, a male voice that sent shivers down my spine. He scooped me up and stood up and carried me from the hall as though I weighed nothing and down to the lake where he placed me down under the shady willow tree I had cried under when I went back to my parents time. I sat with my knees to my chest and wiped my face on the back of my hand.

"Here," Charlie said handing me a handkerchief. I smiled weakly at him, thanked him and wiped my face. "Are you ok?" he asked sliding down the trunk to sit next to me. I nodded.

"Sorry for crying into your shirt." I told him. He waved it away.

"Ah, it's ok. I can always wash it," he said smiling. "What's more important is that your safe and sound." I nodded and he put an arm round me, I automatically cuddled up to him and we stared across the lake together.

It was while we were doing this that a thought occurred to me and I turned to face Charlie.

"Why did you rescue me?" I asked.

"Hu?" he asked looking down at me. I repeated my question. He smiled and replied with, "Because I didn't want you to die." He said.

"Yeah I bet Harry didn't want me to die yet he didn't rescue me." I told him. Charlie looked down at me.

"You're not going to let this go, are you?" I shook my head and he sighed before turning to face the lake, he muttered something.

"Sorry, what was that?" I asked moving in closer and resting a hand on his chest. He looked down at it for a minute or two before looking at me. I looked straight back at him.

"Because I like you." He whispered, the back of his neck turning red. A smile spread across my face.

"I like you too Charlie, but do you like me as a friend or more than?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow and I raised one back, he laughed before he removed his arm from around me, I thought I had made a terrible mistake before I found myself lying on the earth, Charlie on top of me, his lips upon mine kissing me in a way I had never been kissed before. Oh, I've been kissed believe me, I may not be the prettiest girl on the block but I have kissed guys before, but none of them met Charlie's standards, it's like if there was a book on kissing, he had not only read it, he had devoured it, just like he was devouring my lips with his. Finally he pulled out.

"What does that tell you?" he asked; his breath was ragged, even more ragged than mine.

"This." I replied and began kissing him again, he didn't protest and he picked me up and placed me against the tree trunk still kissing me and then his arms were around my waist and he was picking me up, my legs wrapped round his hips and my hands were around his neck running through the back of his hair. Finally after what seemed like hours he tore his lips away from mine and resting his forehead against mine said,

"Do you want to go out with me?" I nodded and he kissed me again, one of his hands creeping up my shirt towards my chest when someone called my name and he dropped me like I was a hot potato. "Oh god, sorry." He said helping me back up. I nodded and looked round the tree to see my brother Jay running towards us, mentally I cursed him; he had just interrupted one of the best moments of my life.

"Sam," he cried as he reached me. "They found him."

"Who's him?" I asked confused; let me tell you Charlie's kisses had left my brain scrambled.

"Him" he repeated and then I knew. They had found Voldermort.

A/N: Ok, so maybe slightly rushed. Hope you like it. :D
