As you all know JKR owns Harry Potter's universe. I'm just trying to make mine a little bit more magical.
Hermione rushed out into bright sunshine, tears streaming down her face as she looked for a place to escape too, a place to run away where nobody would see her. How was she going to show up at work tomorrow, and see Ron? How was she going to work with Ron? How was she going to be able to stay in the same room without punching his lights out? Hermione sat down on a bench by the restaurant and pulled her knees into her chest and wrapped her arms around them, crying softly.
When Charlie raced out of the restaurant he was scared he had missed Hermione, he couldn't see her and he figured she might have apparated away, and he was about to go after her, mentally tallying up the places she might be when he heard soft sobs coming from a bench. His heart broke for her; she looked so utterly defeated and broken. He sat down beside her and pulled her into his chest. "Love?" he said quietly in her ear.
Hermione looked up at the guy who had made her feel so utterly perfect for the past day, and years to be truthfully honest, "Charlie am I a slut?" she asked sadly.
He grabbed the silly girl by the shoulders and looked in her eyes, "Sweetie, you are by no means a slut. You can't take what that bloody idiot said."
"But," Hermione said, tears still trailing down her face, "We had only been broken up for a day and we already had sex."
"Hermione, love, that wasn't just sex and you know it. Do you really think that Ron and Luna haven't been having SEX as you so eloquently put it? We have something together, don't you see that?"
"Charlie, I care about you immensely, but this is going to fast. I should have waited, because now I feel like a slut."
Charlie pushed her back a bit more, a hurt look crossing his face. "So just because of my brother, who broke your heart? You're going to throw this away. Something that is meant to happen, something that has been meant to happen since you came to Romania."
"Charlie that's not what I meant…I just..."
Charlie cut her off quickly, "No, don't give me that bullshit Hermione, I understand you're hurt and are feeling confused. But together we have something. Something amazing and I know you know it. Look into your heart." He said pleading with her, he wasn't going to give her up. He was willing to fight for her.
Charlie cupped her face and kissed her, trying to put how much he cared about her into it. It was romantic and full of emotion. He pulled Hermione into his lap and was elated when she wrapped her arms around his neck.
When the kiss finally broke they leaned forward letting their foreheads touch, "You're right Charlie, and I don't want to loose something that makes me happy. No matter what anybody says."
Charlie mentally thanked Merlin and wrapped his arms around Hermione tightly, "Does this mean I can officially ask you to be my girlfriend?" he asked laughing when Hermione looked up at him with a bright smile.
"Oh darn, if we're official I can't see Hugh on the side." She said smiling wickedly.
"Yah mate, don't take the goods from me, I always knew the sexy little bookworm wanted a piece of the Hugh Miester."
They all burst out laughing as Hugh plopped down on the bench beside Hermione and pulled her from Charlie, planting noisy kisses on her cheek. "Nobody can resist this much sexy."
Hermione pushed him away laughing and leaned her back against Charlie's chest and turning to whisper in his ear, "Nothing would make me happier than being your girlfriend Charlie."
Charlie hugged her tightly a ridiculously happy smile on his face, and Hugh felt the bile rising in his mouth. "You guys sick me out." He said laughing.
Hermione gave Hugh a brilliant smile, and then confusion marred her pretty face, "Hugh, why is your hand swelling?"
Hugh let his chest puff out a little bit, "Well Hugh Miller can not sit around while a beautiful damsel in distress who secretly wants him has her reputation varnished. So I might have punched the little git in the jaw and broke it. Sorry about hitting your brother mate," he said to Charlie.
Charlie burst out laughing, "Oh that's bloody brilliant."
Hermione looked between extremely happy and worried, "Was he hurt bad?" she asked cautiously.
"No lasting damage sweetie, don't worry your pretty little head about it," Hugh said poking her nose making her smile, "The only thing you need to worry about is getting away from mister ball and chain over here, so you can get some sweet loving from moi."
Charlie growled, "Hugh please stop flirting with my girlfriend,"
"Are you jealous Charlie?" Hermione asked laughing, "Because the only one in my heart is you."
Charlie smiled at this and kissed her lips.
"Way to break a man's heart love," Hugh said dramatically as he pulled Hermione to his chest. "The only way to make it up to me is to kiss me."
"Oh Hugh," Hermione said laughing and kissed him nosily on his cheek.
Hugh shook his head laughing, "Well my beautiful grossly disgusting new couple, I'm going to leave and try to find my own lady love… at least for a few days." He said laughing and walking away.
Hermione smiled and turned back to Charlie, "Thanks for kicking me out of that funk."
"Anytime baby," he said nuzzling her neck.
"I like it when you call me that, it sounds so right." She said feeling completely content.
"Can I take you somewhere?" he asked into her ear.
"Anywhere." Hermione replied back.
Charlie pulled her to stand next to him and apparated to a spot he loved more than all others.
"You brought me to the Burrow?" Hermione asked. She loved the Burrow immensely but wasn't sure if she was ready to face the rest of the Weasley clan.
"Well you know its Sunday, Weasley weekly dinner. I hope you don't mind, but Mum wanted us all over for dinner tonight. Especially you. I hope you don't mind." Worry crossing his handsome features.
"As long as you stay with me the entire night, I'm sure I can handle it. Are…" she left the question unsaid.
Charlie's jaw tightened, "I'm not sure if he'll show his ugly mug or not."
Hermione looked towards the house that held so many memories for her, good ones of reading, eating and feeling apart of the Weasley family. Memories of her and Ron. She shook the last memories away, now it was time to make new ones with her and Charlie.
She looked at the front door of the Burrow and could see Mrs. Weasley coming out, "Well lets go, we wouldn't want to keep your Mum waiting," Hermione said laughing and pulling on Charlie's hand.
He kissed the top of her head as they walked, and smiled into her eyes, and the dazzling look he got back made him feel complete.
Another filler chapter, but I liked it. Hope I didnt worry too many people and make people think Hermione was going to push Charlie away. I just couldnt do that to the poor girl.
Anyways please review my story, its frustrating seeing people read but not saying anything. I know I should be thankful but critisism and reviews are seeming to sustain me.
Either way next update won't be until Monday at the earliest. So hope you enjoy and have a magical weekend.
