Charlie woke up the next day. She was lying in Connor's arms; she twisted round to face him. He was still asleep, Charlie stroked his hair gently, Connor wasn't a very deep sleeper and woke up abruptly. "Hey" Charlie whispered, warmly. He smiled slightly and kissed her. "Come on let's get up" Charlie said. Connor held her tighter. "I'm not finished yet" He grinned. She reluctantly relaxed into his grip. He kissed her again, this time a little more forcefully.
"Come on Connor, we have to get up" She sighed after they broke apart. "Don't tell me what to do," He growled at her. Charlie pushed him off, got up and grabbed her clothes. She went into the bathroom to get dressed.

She went back into the room and Connor had gotten dressed. He turned his back on her as she entered. Charlie sighed; this was Connors latest little 'game'. She decided that this time she wasn't going to play along. She breathed in deeply.
"Connor, will you stop acting like a toddler, for goodness sake?" Charlie said bravely. He turned to her, he looked pissed off. "What did you just say to me?" He asked, threateningly. He advanced upon her. He thrust her against the wall. "Well?" He asked. "Nothing, Connor I didn't say anything" Charlie said. He struck her across the face and mumbled, "That's more like it" Charlie ran to the bathroom when Connor let go of her. She tried to conceal the new bruise on her face but it was to badly bruised. She poked it, randomly and winced. She got out her pocketknife and held it to her wrist. She thought about it and slid the knife back in her pocket. Connor had disappeared and so Charlie went down to the common room. Only Draco was sitting in there.

"Hey, you" Draco said, getting up. Charlie smiled at him. She kissed him. He stroked her cheek where the bruise was. "Did he do that?" He asked, angrily. Charlie nodded slightly.
"God, I'll bludy kill him" Draco muttered, angrily.
"No, Draco, I pretty much asked for it" Charlie sighed. "What?! Oh come of it, I don't understand why you don't just leave him" Draco said. "Just...because" Charlie whispered, burying her head in Draco's chest. "I'd better go find him," Charlie mumbled, looking up at Draco. He lent down slightly and kissed her. He played with her hair. "I'm sure he won't mind if you take a little bit longer" Draco soothed. Charlie smiled slightly. "Oh, alright then, he can wait I suppose"
