The next day Hermione woke up from her restless sleep and noticed the sun was shinning outside. Maybe this is a sign it will be a good day, she thought. Hermione flung the covers off of her bed and walked to her bathroom. Turning on the water, she took off her clothes and went under the water. When she was done washing, she pulled out her clothes. She wore just a simple pair of black cargo pants and a red short sleeve shirt that clung to her curves. Brushing her hair, she pulled it back into a pony tail and smiled. It was not the thick rats nest that was frizzy and uncontrollable, but it was thick and wavy. Hermione pulled on a pair of black trainers and white socks as she walked to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee and some toast. As she ate an owl tapped on her window. It was Pig, the Weasley's owl. She let Pig in and gave him some of her toast. Hermione opened the letter and smiled brightly it was from Harry, Ron and Ginny.

Hermione,

How are you? I was just writing to ask you how your trip was and I hope that you're settled in. Well nothing has really happened here, but mum is going crazy. She's so afraid that you're going to get eaten or something like that. Don't worry about that. Harry and Ron want to write so I guess I could let them. I miss you all ready.

Talk to you soon,

Ginny

Hermione,

Hey, hope you're well. Mum's going crazy and Sirius is going to think of some kind of joke to get her spirits up. I'm not sure if it will work.

Missing you,

Ron

Hermione,

Hi, are you keeping your promise to me? You better be or I will come to Romania and get you myself. Anyway, things are the same as always, Ron got his head stuck in a tree and we had to pull him out. It was kind of funny but not to him, I think. Well, I have to go now; I have to go get something very important.

Bye for now,

Harry

Hermione smiled as she read that Ron got his head stuck in a tree. She looked up at her clock and put down her letters. Hermione ran to her bedroom and grabbed her wand. Racing out of the house, she got to the camp as quickly as she could. When she got there a dragon was being put back into its cage and the tamers were trying to get the egg from its. She noticed from its color and that it breathed fire; it was a Chinese Firebolt. A voice came from behind her and she instantly turned around.

"So nice of you to join us Miss Granger," the man said. He had red hair and freckles it reminded her of the Weasleys. Hermione smiled at him and stuck out her hand. He shook it gently.

"Charlie Weasley at your service," the man said. Hermione gasped.

"Charlie?" he nodded "oh my, Molly and everyone was so worried that I would be here without anyone. I don't know how any of them forgot to mention that you were here,"

"You know my family?" Charlie was confused beyond belief. How did this girl know his family?

"Yes, I've known them since my first year at Hogwarts. I went to school with Ron, Ginny, Fred and George," Charlie hadn't seen his family during the year except for Christmas so that would explain why he never met her.

"Um so anyway, why don't I take you around and get you settled?" she nodded and followed him as he began to walk to one of the cages.

"There are the cages we keep the dragons in obviously and we take then out to do daily check ups and bring the females in here if they have any eggs so we can check on them to make sure that we have healthy dragon babies," Charlie said as he pointed to a cage with dark cloth around it.

"These are the cages we put the males in when they are um looking for a mate and we don't have females that are mature enough or too old or sick," there was a large cage that had bars all around it but there were no dragon in it. She knew that males that were looking for a mate they would attack another dragon. He went around the camp and told showed her everything else she would need to know during her stay at the camp. When they were finished he brought her to a table that was under a canopy. Charlie left for a moment and got them lunch. When he returned he started to talk to her.

"So have you always liked dragons or is this just the flavor of the week?"

"I've been obsessed with dragons for about nine years. So this is definitely not a flavor of the week, as you put it. I even have a degree in dragon study; I've just never had a chance to get up close and personal with dragons before," she said as she took a bite of her sandwich. He looked at her closely, almost studying her.

"So why haven't you had the chance until now to come to Romania and study dragons personally?"

"Well, you know the war that was going on? I was fighting in that. Next to everyone in your family and the Order," he stared at her. How can someone so young have gone through that? He knew that he should have gone to help his family in England but he was needed here. The Dark Lord was trying to get dragons on his side, and the tamers needed to stay at their posts at all hours of the day and night. By the time the war was over all the tamers were exhausted and in need of a holiday. None of them took it, the dragons were too important.

"I see," Charlie looked at the young woman in front of him and smiled slightly. She was quite pretty and that she was interested in dragons was a plus. She had honey colored eyes and a nice smile. To his knowledge, she was quite brave to stay in England and fight the Dark Lord, so many people fled as far away as they could get. They finished their meal in silence. They were going to the main office so that she could get her slip that said that she could be in the camp. Charlie opened the door and Hermione went in as she said a quick thank you to him.

In the office, there was a tall thin man sitting behind a desk. He had dark hair and bright grey eyes. As they entered, he smiled at them and motioned for them to sit in the chairs that were in front of his desk.

"Ah, hello Miss Granger I presume?" Hermione nodded and smiled at the tall man. He stood up and came to the other side of the desk to where Charlie and Hermione were sitting.

"I'm Davey Hart, your new boss," Davey stuck out his hand and she shook it.

"Charlie," Davey nodded toward Charlie and Charlie nodded back. I guess that's how they acknowledge each other here, she thought sighing.

"Miss Granger, here is your slip. You're now apart of the tamers. You training will start tomorrow. This fine tamer beside you will teach you,"

"Excuse me but if it's not too much trouble could you please call me Hermione instead of Miss Granger? It makes me feel like I'm in a cubical,"

"I see, all right Hermione," Davey smiled at her and gave her the slip. Charlie nodded and tapped her on the shoulder. She looked at him questioningly and he tilted his head towards the door. Hermione nodded and moved towards the door with Charlie right behind her. They exited the office and he saw that the shift was changing.

"Well, Hermione the shift is over so we get to go home now," Charlie smiled at her gently.

"All right, hey Charlie, do you want to come over to my place for dinner or for coffee?" Charlie nodded at her once again.

"Yeah sure," then Charlie had a thought; this would be a great time to get to know her. He grinned internally. She grabbed his hand and apparterated (sp?) back to her home.

When they arrived at her house, she grabbed her wand and cleaned up the remnants of her breakfast. He saw all of the boxes that she used to bring her things from her other home.

"Can you hold on one moment I have to use my fireplace and floo to the market to get some food. I'll only be one minute," With that, she grabbed a handful of the green powder and threw it into the fireplace. She spoke clearly and said market. In a burst green flames, she was gone. Charlie looked around her small house. It was only one level so he wandered down the halls and looked into the open doors. They were tastefully decorated and had the necessities. He smiled and went into the only room that had a bed in it. Assuming it was her bedroom, he just wanted to take a look and go back to the kitchen.

Charlie didn't hear a person come into the room, so he continued to look around. Hermione smirked slightly and cleared her throat to make her presence known. Charlie looked around and looked like a deer caught in the headlights. She just chuckled and walked over to him. He was right next to her bed.

"Just a little curious Charlie?" Hermione smiled lightly and placed her hand on his shoulder. To him, it felt as if she had placed something warm and comforting on his shoulder. He felt sparks race through his body and she felt them as well.

"Just a little," he moved his hand on top of hers and looked at her. She was only a few inches shorter than him. His brothers were tall and gangly, he was tall about 5'9 but he was muscular, but nowhere as tall as most of his brothers. They were over 6'0 at least.

"Come on, let's go make dinner okay?" Hermione said but never made a move to remove her hand from his shoulder. Charlie nodded and smiled as they moved to make dinner. He removed his hand from over hers but instead of letting her walk he carried her to the kitchen. She was shocked to say the least but once she got over her shock, she started to laugh.

When they got into the kitchen Charlie let her down and unpacked the groceries. Everything she had bought was basic but there were a few choice items that made him think that she was definitely more than the average girl. Chocolate syrup and a pack of cherry flavored condoms, wow she was kinky. He laughed silently and handed her the condoms. She blushed bright red and to him it was a very good intimidation of his family's well known blush.

"Um thanks Charlie," she exited the kitchen and went to her bedroom. Charlie smiled, he knew it would be a very interesting dinner.
