Charlie Weasley

1. Quidditch was his first love. Before dragons and girls and all of those thugs came Quidditch. He didn't love it nearly as much as some people but he loved it enough. It wasn't the game that he found so intriguing. No. It was the flying. Everything about it enticed him, the physics, the kinesiology, the skill of the flyer...everything! He loved flying. To him there was nothing like it in the world.

2. It was because of this love that he found his true passion in life. He was walking on the pitch one day in his seventh year trying to figure out what he was going to do with his life once he lost Quidditch. It was there that he found Oliver Wood. The fourth year was the only person he knew that loved the game more than him, and that's just because Oliver love the whole game, not just the flying. They got to talking, at first it started out with plays for the next game but eventually it morphed into how Oliver wanted to be a professional Quidditch player when he graduated. Charlie had always admired Oliver for knowing what he wanted, even if it was a long shot. Charlie asked him how he could be so sure that Quidditch is what he wanted with his life.

"I love it more than anything in the world," he replied. "When I play Quidditch...it's so unlike anything else...it makes me feel alive. I guess the key is to just find that thing. What do you love, Charlie."

He thought about it for a couple seconds... He loved his family and Charms (a secret obsession) but more than anything he loved to fly. He told this to Oliver. He watched as the kid thought about it.

"Well if I was you, I reckon that I'd want to be a dragon. They're always flying."

After that conversation all Charlie could think about was being a dragon. Of course he knew that actually becoming a dragon was impossible but he couldn't imagine anything better than spending the rest of his life with creatures that had the same live for the sky that he did.

3. Ginny was his favorite sibling. The others were loud, obnoxious, and just plain annoying. But Ginny was his little princess. Of course this was all ruined the minute George and Fred got their hands on her. After that she was his secret weapon. Whether he needed a partner in crime or someone to distract their mom she was always there. In return he taught her how to fly. His heart swelled with pride the minute he saw the same love he had for flying reflected in her eyes.

4. He was the one to suggest attacking Voldemort's army from the sky. He regrets it to this very day. Flying is supposed to be wonderful and freeing. No one should ever have to worry about being killed while riding a broom. It just wasn't right.

5. When Fred died it seemed like he was the only one in the family that wasn't so overcome with grief that he couldn't remember what Fred loved. And what Fred lived was people laughing. So at the funeral, instead of wearing black robes like most, he wore bright yellow robes with feathers exploding from it randomly. Soon the whole crowd had charmed their robes into bright colors too. He never regretted that. Especially when George thanked him afterwards.

6. He did eventually get married. It was to a girl that he had worked with for a while. He hadn't thought much of her until one night he came out to check on a dragon egg that was supposed to be hatching later that week. He had just walked into the pin where they were kept when he noticed Madison sitting there. She didn't say anything, just sat there and watched the egg, just like him.

7. It wasn't until a week later he found out what she was doing every night in that pin. For seven nights they say next to each other and waited for the hatchling to appear. When the shell finally cracked he saw her dart up and take the baby dragon into her arms. He had absolutely no clue what she was doing. This confusion continued and multiplied when she hopped on a broom and began to hover over the ground. She moved in slow circles until the dragon feel to sleep. She must have seen him give her a curious look because she turned to him and said, "What? If you were a creature born to the sky, wouldn't you want to spend your first moments flying?" Within two months after the dragon's birth, he knew that he was madly in love with this girl. and everyday she did something that amazed him.

8. He named his first daughter Romula as a means of honoring Remus Lupin. It was at an Order meeting that he first realized he loved Maddie. This was in large part due to the ex-professor. They had been talking about her for a whole when Remus said, "If there is anything I have learned over the past twenty years it is that there are few precious things in life that are capable of truly amazing us. Sometimes these things are horrible but when they are not it is often because we love them, and we haven't even realized it yet." Charlie decided that there needed to be more people like Remus Lupin in the world. So the name Romula, came naturally.

9. He hated peas. With a passion.

10. His hero was Bill. Ginny may have been his favorite but his older brother always inspired him. When he had trouble deciding whether or not to go to Romania it was Bill that swayed his mind. Charlie had been nervous about how his family would react and Bill convinced him that it didn't matter- his family would live him no matter what- but the dragons wouldn't wait forever.

AN: Honestly this one was kinda hard to write. After numbers 1&2 (the inspiration for the chapter) I don't really identify with Charlie that much (thus the randomness of #9). Sorry if you hated it. I'll try and make the next one better. Leave me a message if you have any preferences for the next chapter.
