"Why not?" Charlie whined, his bottom lip jutting out into a pout that he maybe would've gotten away with if he'd been five. "We made a bet, you lost, i won, this is my prize."

"Your prize is to torture me?" Hermione asked, arms crossed and her face not showing any emotion; her eyes were doing that for her and he could see the genuine worry, fear and dislike of what he was asking of her. "How sadistic of you."

"Flying is not torture Hermione," he scolded. "I won't let you go. I promise."

"I just don't want to do it and i can't understand why you'd make me try it."

"Because i know that you love seeing sights, remarkable sights. We have travelled all over the world and seen some of the most beautiful places but you are missing the most beautiful one every day. And it's right at home." He spread his arms around him, indicating The Burrow and the surrounding area.

She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth: a sure sign that she was curious. Her hair twiddled around her finger before she pulled on it: a sure sign that she was hating the way her mind was running. She sighed: a sure sign for many things but possibly defeat in this situation.

"Fine."

"YES!" he cheered, jumping on the spot like a schoolgirl who just found out that her crush knew her name. "You won't regret this," he promised, surging forward and kissing her soundly before bouncing off to tell his brothers.

"I already do," she mumbled, rubbing her face with her hands. At least she had a couple of days to get used to the idea.

"Here we go!" Charlie exclaimed before she could even blink or move from her spot. "If we go now, we can catch the best spot." Hermione paled considerably, looking at the broom he was now perching on before her. She wasn't prepared for this. "Come on, sit in front of me. Hold onto my arms, not the broom and we'll be fine."

She blinked slowly, trying to get her mind to understand what was going on.

"She won't do it," Ron grumbled with a mocking snort from his seat with the rest of the family. "She's a bloody coward when it comes to flying."

"Ronald!" Molly scolded but they all knew that there was nothing that they could do to stop him - he was still sour over their breakup three years ago and the fact that she was now with his brother, and living happily. Much happier than she had with Ron.

"Ignore them," Charlie murmured, his face full of others most likely weren't aware that the couple could hear their every word but he wasn't about to let them know that. "Just keep looking at me. Am i going to let you fall?"

"No," she answered honestly. He'd been there to catch and support her with many things in life: arguments, dramatic job changes, illnesses, nightmares and more arguments. Now he'd be there for her here. She took a deep breath. "Will we go fast?"

"I can't go fast and enjoy the view," he told her, shuffling on the wood beneath him till he was more comfortable.

She didn't give him an answer, instead just swung a leg over and sat herself down in front of him, immediately comforted by his heat and body behind her. "That's my girl," he whispered before kissing her neck. He made sure she was ready and comfy before kicking off gently and flying them till they were over the orchard, looking out to the distance.

The view really was beautiful, Hermione conceded. From their vantage point they could see hills, orchards and forests, a stream running through and general countryside with a teaser of a village and civilisation in the distance. And then the sun started to set.

Her breath caught in her throat as the colours painted the landscape. Purple, red, orange, yellow and a dark blue made everything even more amazing and picturesque. Her grip lessened on his arms and her feet tangled with his in what he recognised as a comfortable gesture.

"It's beautiful," she spoke, her voice soft.

"It really is," he replied, though his eyes were on the witch's face. "Absolutely breathtaking."

This is going to total to about 30 drabbles. Even when the July event is finished, I may still write all the drabbles for it just so I have a reason to carry on with this pairing :)
