Disclaimer: I do not own anything because if I did I would have a giant stack of double chocolate cookies right now and a butler that says, "Yes ma'am,"

Charlie placed the rest of the items from the bag onto the table. He waited a few minutes but Hermione never came back. Honestly, he wanted to go find her but he knew better and did a spell that made his bottom stick to the chair, if you can't get up, there's no temptation, he thought wiggling on the chair. A good ten minutes later Hermione came in to the kitchen and raised an eyebrow as Charlie squirmed in his seat.

"Oh yeah," he grabbed his wand from the table and undid the spell. Charlie stood up and turned at famous Weasley red. Hermione made a noise, kind of like a giggle and a snort combined (gigglesnort). She walked over to the table and grabbed the vegetables and started to cut them up. Pulling out her wand, she placed a spell on them to cut them so she could start on the meat.

Charlie placed a hand on her shoulder, glancing over at him; she smiled softly as he smiled back at her.

"Want some help with that?" he asked quietly, pointing to the meat on the counter with his wand.

"Sure Charlie thanks," she smiled and moved back for him to work his magic in the kitchen (no pun intended). Charlie put on some ingredients and set them on the side to marinate.

"Now we wait," he jumped on top of the counter top and spread his arms open. She leaned against the wall, she knew he wanted a hug and he would be disappointed if he didn't get one. Shaking her head she laughed slightly. He would have to work for her hugs.

"Nope Charlie you have to work," he quirked and eyebrow and hopped off the counter top.

"Oh really what am I going to have to do?" Charlie smirked slightly and walked over to her so that his arms were on either side of her head. To his surprise she smirked slightly at him.

"Well I think that you have to give me a back rub and make dinner. Then you can have a hug. Deal?" he was shocked he wasn't expecting that. Obviously he would give in. There was something about her that he liked but couldn't put his finger on.

"Deal," he pulled back from her and continued to make dinner while she sat down in one of the kitchen chairs and watched him. He placed all the kitchen appliances under spells and placed the mean tin the oven. Charlie reinforced a spell on the oven so that when the meat was done it would turn off and not burn. Finally he walked behind her.

Gently he started to rub her back and rid her muscles of all the tension that she had been carrying. His strong fingers worked wonders on her back and neck, sighing she let her head roll back slightly. Somehow she noticed that his touch wasn't of a friend but of a potential lover. This could be interesting she thought smiling at the thought of such a wonderfully strong handsome and to her knowledge caring potential lover and maybe if she played her cards right he would be her boyfriend.

She hadn't had a boyfriend since Harry when she was in seventh year but that didn't work out too well they were better as friends. From the words of Harry it was like kissing his sister.

Shaking all the thoughts of Harry out of her head, she smiled at knowing that Charlie had his hands on her back and neck. Suddenly she felt his hands stop rubbing her back and she was turned around to face him.

"Hermione," he swallowed his Adam's apple bobbing up and down on his throat, "Can I kiss you?"
