1) He had always loved dragons, ever since his brother Bill gave him a toy one for his third birthday. Even now, he still carries it around with him.
2) His closest brother was always Bill, that's why he was Bill's best man. They had always played together when they were little and Bill had kept an eye on Charlie more so than Percy at Hogwarts. And in later life, after the worst day of Charlie's life, Bill was the one to comfort him.
3) Quidditch was always just a hobby to him. He remembered Oliver Wood who took Quidditch more seriously than anything else in life, and he could never understand this. It was just a bit of fun for him, and anyway, nothing could be more important than Dragons.
4) He knew that his parents never really forgave him for moving to Romania, but if that's where the dragons were, then he would be there to. Anyway, Bill had gone to Egypt, and that was much further away than Romania.
5) When he was in Romania, he took quite some time to get to know anyone. The first person he really got to know was a girl from England called Amelia, she was in his year at Hogwarts but in Ravenclaw so they had never really talked much. But this was in the past as they became good friends.
6) He fell in love with her. They came over to England to deliver some dragons to the Triwizard Tournament. He told Bill, but refrained from telling the rest of his family as his mother would probably start planning the wedding.
7) He hated never being there, he missed out on everything. The only time he made it was Nymphadora's wedding to Remus, she was his friend back at Hogwarts and Remus was a hero, he couldn't miss it. He came back and felt like he was a third wheel in his family, that was probably the main reason that he stayed back in Romania, Amelia and his friends were there.
8) He and Amelia were talking one night when they decided to get married. It was a small thing, just their friends and her brother. This was many years after the war was over and they both realised that they were perfect for each other.
9) The worst day of his life was a Tuesday. Amelia had gone out to look after some new Swedish dragons, she had been so excited. He remembers the knock on the door and her brother came running in. He shouted something about her being hurt and she was being sent to St Mungos.
Charlie apparated to Shell Cottage and told Bill who then came with him, they arrived and Charlie rushed to see his wife. Her whole body was horribly disfigured, a healer told her that she had been hit by a fireball. In his heart Charlie knew that it was over, but he refused to let anyone know this.
10) He sat with her through the night, until the healers pronounced her dead. He cried, the only time he can really remember crying.
11) The funeral was held in Romania, Bill came with George and Percy, none of them had ever seen their brother this devastated.
12) He swore them never to tell about Amelia to anyone in their families, silently his brother nodded.
13) It wasn't until Teddy and Victoire asked him many years later why he wasn't married did he tell the whole story. It was the first time he had really come to terms with the fact that Amelia was never coming back, that he was forever destined to spend his life alone.
He visited her grave and inscribed a new message...
If
only if only
the wood pecker sighs
the bark on the trees was
as soft as
the sky
as the wolf waits below
hungry and
lonely
he cries to the moon
If only if only
