CHAPTER 11: THE FUNNY DARKNESS IN THE LIGHT.

When we ended up seeing the things I had brought from my various work trips I felt thousand times better than before. She didn't avoid my sight cause of my appearance; she didn't think my scars were just awful of looking at. No, she said after I told her what made me get the scars that those, far from being tares, were something to be pride of, because they showed how brave I was once.

She was certainly somebody really astonishing and good. For being as young as Ginny she seemed to see best things on people easier than bad things.

No, she hadn't looked at me before because she thought she would be rude because she would have stared at the scars wondering how I got them, wondering also if I was a werewolf or my weird matches with one were just coincidences.

I couldn't help to smile slightly when we were out of the barn in the darkness; then we saw Charlie but she kept on walking till she was at the door mat.

"You should give up that, Charly." She said smiling without turning. Your mom will end up by catching you. Good night."

"Night." Both said at once.

When she left Charlie put out the cigarette and looked at me as he made it disappear.

"So, let me guess." He said. "You have made things up. She was not doing what you thought."

"Once again you were right." I agreed. "She was avoiding looking at me because she said she would stare as thinking about how I got this and that would have been rude as asking it straight."

"I told you she was a good girl." He told me smiling.

"She must have been for going so close to you." I added smiling. "Is she? The famous tamer you told me about that summer?"

"Yep." He said holding his laugh. "Yes, I suppose you can understand why I spoke so highly of her, and why did she had so much success with men. Na, I was not the first one and I'd be not the last one."

I then had to smile while we looked to the stars as we used when we were younger.

"I should leave; my wife will be worried about me." I said smiling.

"Ah, yes." He said. "Your eyes, they are a bit more yellow tonight."

"Ha, so then that was why she looked to my eyes for so long." I said laughing. "She can't stop being her, can she?"

"No, but she likes looking straight to eyes." Charlie said smiling as we walked in the house. "She said you can know someone by the eyes. I think that was the reason the Scottish Highlander has just speak to her. Great beautiful eyes."

"Yes, I must agree." I said. "But I'm already married, to the woman of my life."

After arriving I walked up to the bedroom and then Hermione and Ginny got me. Gabrielle was sleeping.

"Where have you been for so long?" Ginny asked.

"Seeing some travel souvenirs your brother seems to have collected." I answered smiling. "Of course, nothing else than chatting. I didn't know you all went to Egypt!"

We then began chatting a lot and for second time in just some hours, I was asked to be sincere to my friends.

"How is you are so close to Charlie so as to jump to his neck and hug him?" They asked me.

"I met him at Romania when I was asked to give a hand on summer at dragon flying taming and forming new riders." I began saying looking to the ceiling.

"And…?" Ginny asked.

I then smiled. Those two were too clever so as to try and hide them anything.

"We shared lot of things." I finally confessed. "Nothing too intimae, I must add. Just… well, we had some fun together and shared some kisses and hugs, but nothing further, I swear."

Then both had to hold their joy and surprise shouts, so I smiled again.

"Man!!" Hermione said in fun. "How many men…?"

"Not much men." I said. "But guys… I think they were about… 10 on the last five years. The longest a year, the shortest three weeks."

Then they couldn't help but laughing softly. I had done some things I was not proud of, and kissing so many men was not one of them. I mean… in the moment I was with them both of us got fun and happiness, but we didn't had much in common so we ended up splitting up. My favourite was my brother's best friend with who I still had a funny bound. It was not true love, but it was certainly something, same went for Charlie and same went for the other two guys.

That seemed to make them confused.

"But… you know that's not right, do you?" Hermione said.

"Why not?" Ginny asked. "She said she felt something for them while they were going out together."

"But those are too many men for so little time!!!" Hermione said.

"I don't think that's something I'm proud of either." I said. "But that's something I'm not ashamed of either. I used to like them more than as friends, but I suppose it was not true love or… well, or things would have gone different."

Then someone knocked softly on the door and we heard soft steps getting away.

"Who was?" Hermione asked.

"I bet they were the twins." Ginny said. "Just to get fun by annoying us."

"No." I said smiling to them as I turned to a side. "It's Charly secret code with me. He used to do that on my door in Romania when he wanted to tell me he finally could get to his room and sleep."

(Ginny's voice)

Secret codes, a bunch of boyfriends and guys she just met for snuggling on a dark corner or a pub.

I didn't know if she had to be my heroine or just a bitchy friend.

Anyway, she had lot of success among guys and for any reason, perhaps cause as me she grew up surrounded by men, she felt not uneasy surrounding by all men and had no difficulties on chatting easily with them.

"Hey, and what was like kissing my brother?" I asked her after a while. "I can't imagine."

"I then suppose he has never told you about his private love life, has him?" She asked smiling.

"Of course not." I told her. "I mean… they don't speak with me about that."

"No? Oh, Eloy always asked me for advise when he was after a girl." She answered me. "Yet maybe he was certainly too close to me and I was his best friend. But… don't know, I have never felt anything similar to true love towards him it was more like… deep, very deep friendship."

"And who has been the guy towards you have the deepest feeling?" I asked her expecting her to say his or my brother's name.

"Eloy." She answered without even thinking on it. "I have felt the strongest feeling towards him."

From all the names she could give, that was the one I less expected to hear. That mysterious guy coming to Hogwarts on Halloween, no, it couldn't be him.

"But, as you can guess… that was not that kind of love." She said smiling. "I once thought… that if we were no what we were I would have loved a boyfriend as him…"

That was what I heard the last coming from her cause then she fell full asleep.

Eloy, that name came too often from her mouth so as to ignore something weird was between them. And now I had three brothers feeling something towards her. One was once something else to her so now he didn't saw her as a girlfriend, or so I expected, the other two were just so silly to like her as it but not realising they were nothing else than friends and my brothers for her.

Then I shrugged. If they wanted to crash against that wall I would not prevent it. That would help them to be less flirting towards all beautiful lashes the cross their way.

(Isa's voice)

I finally fell asleep when suddenly we heard a burst in our bedroom and Ginny and Gabrielle shouted. I had not much problem on falling over the sneaker and immobilising it against the ground with my own body and a non-verbal charm. I was wearing just a baggy t-shirt that looked as a wide camisole and my knickers, but it didn't prevent me to do what I knew while Hermione turned the lights on.

Then Ginny literally kicked a side of our "sneaker" as I stood up from Fred's.

"That was really unexpected." He said. "We expected to frighten you."

"Then we heard another shout at the opposite room where Ron and Harry were sleeping."

And Hermione ran to the room to see. Then she came to ours with George hanging upside down from his ankle and Harry controlling him with his wand out.

"I see we have caught two rats." I said. "The hunters were hunted."

"Harry, would you mind putting me down again, please?" George asked him.

Harry didn't even bothered on making him land softly, he removed the spell and he fell down landing on his back.

"I think you deserve it, George." Ginny said. "Both of you."

"The one immobilised at the ggound and the otheg hanging at the aig." Gabrielle said.

"The most important is it seems nobody heard us shout." Hermione said sighing.

"I think next time someone pops up at our room while we are sleeping he will get something else than immobilisation from me." I said rubbing the back of my head.

"You are joking." Fred said.

"No, I don't joke when I'm speaking of being disturbed dream." I said getting back in the bed. "Good night."

I don't think they stayed there for too long, but… ok, I must recognise it: I fell asleep nearly immediately and when I woke up it was next morning at sunrise.
