JKR is da owna.
Hermione sat on the bed a moment longer, enjoying the silence and being able to get her tears under control. She couldn't ask for a better friend than Harry, he always stood behind her and was there when she needed him most. She turned and looked out the window, enjoying how the sky was turning dark and the moon was coming out to shine. She let it shine on her face and calm her down; she was enjoying the moment so much that she didn't even notice Charlie coming into the room.
After finishing de-gnoming he came inside to see Harry just walking down the stairs, a sad defeated look on his face. So Charlie decided to see what the matter was.
"Hey Harry, what's the matter?" Charlie asked cautiously
"Oh hullo Charlie, I was just upstairs talking to Mione," Harry said rubbing his face.
"Is she okay?" he asked worry sounding through out his voice.
"I think she will be, she's still pretty upset about Ron. Which she should be. I don't know what to do, or think about him anymore."
"How do you think I feel mate, he's my brother, and I want to kill him."
Harry nodded, "Yah I guess you're right, but go on and check on her. I'm betting she'd like to see you."
Charlie quickly went up to Ginny's room and walked in, and the sight took his breath away. Hermione was looking at the moon and she was bathed in its light. She looked like a goddess standing there and Charlie couldn't help but shiver knowing that she was his. He slowly walked in so as to not startle her, and slowly slid his hands around her waist pulling her back into his chest.
"Love, are you okay." He asked quietly in her ear.
She nodded and laid her head back on his chest, still looking at the moon.
Charlie nuzzled against her neck and she giggled. "You sure?" he asked again.
"I'll be okay Charlie," Hermione turned to face him and he kissed the rest of her tears away. "You don't think I'm just a big baby right?"
Charlie chuckled, "No, I think you're the toughest, smartest, bravest, most beautiful witch I know. And I'm happy to call you mine."
Hermione smiled that dazzling smile Charlie loved so much, "I think you should kiss me now Charlie."
"Your wish is my command." He said saucily and bent down to capture her lips.
Mrs. Weasley had trumped up the stairs to find where Hermione and Charlie had gone off too, and she heard voices from Ginny's room. She smiled knowing how close Charlie and Hermione were and she started hoping maybe Charlie and Hermione would get together. She always noticed sparks between them and she smiled a little mischievously but quietly peaked around the corner. She could see that Hermione was in Charlie's arms and he was kissing her cheeks, "You don't think I'm just a big baby right?" she heard Hermione asked nervously… Well this is interesting Molly thought. She could hear her son laugh affectionately, "No, I think you're the toughest, smartest, bravest, most beautiful witch I know. And I'm happy to call you mine." Molly's breath caught in her throat, Charlie was so romantic, and did that mean they were already together. Molly crossed her fingers hoping. She heard Hermione say with confidence, "I think you should kiss me now Charlie." "Your wish is my command." And she watched them kiss.
And Molly danced a little jig of happiness. She had just about given up hope that Charlie would ever get married, and as she quickly peeked at them kissing she could tell there was something special between them, and it made her happy deep down. She loved Hermione just like another daughter, and what Ron did to her was terrible. He was of course still her son and she had to love him, but she knew Hermione was a fantastic witch that she wanted in her family. She coughed a little to let them know she was there and they broke apart quickly, fear and nervousness crossing both their faces.
Molly quickly smiled, "You guys remind me of Mr. Weasley and I."
Charlie's face lit up and he grabbed Mrs. Weasley in a tight hug, "You're okay with this mum?"
"Of course I'm okay with this," she said smiling, she turned to Hermione and held her arms out to hug her. Hermione quickly ran into them and Mrs. Weasley pulled her into a comforting hug. "I think you guys have something special. Don't lose each other okay, and don't let anyone give you crap about it."
Hermione and Charlie both laughed, and grabbed each other in a three way hug, "That means a lot mum."
"Now my dears, if we'll proceed downstairs, I have hungry boys to feed." She said wiping her misted eyes. "you guys really do remind me of Mr. Weasley and I," and quickly walked out before she started to cry.
Charlie took Hermione's hand in his, "You ready."
Hermione nodded and they walked down the stairs hand in hand.
Everyone smiled at them when they walked into the living room, and Hermione quickly took a look around glad that Ron wasn't here yet. She knew she could face him, especially that everyone seemed to accept that Charlie and her were together. But she was still scared as to what was going to happen.
Charlie pulled her down onto the couch beside him and wrapped his arm around her, letting her know he was there but having a conversation with Bill. Fleur waddled into the room smiling at Hermione and sitting in the chair across from her to talk.
"Ello Mione, how are you." Fleur asked with a thick French accent.
Hermione smiled, Fleur and her had become a lot closer after spending time with them at Shell Cottage and they owl'd weekly. Hermione was really looking forward to this new addition to the family.
Bill and Charlie smiled at their two ladies, and continued with their conversation.
"So you said Hugh is in town as well Char?" Bill asked.
"Yah seems Kingsley wanted both of us, which makes me worry a bit about what is going on. Kingsley knows I can handle a lot on my own, so calling in Hugh as well means something a lot more dangerous than what I've been led to believe."
"Hugh is in town?" Mrs. Weasley's voice broke into the conversation.
"Yes Mum, Kingsley called him in as well." Charlie yelled back.
"Well dear invite him to dinner; poor guy deserves a good home cooked meal."
Charlie and Bill both burst out laughing, and Charlie sent off a Patronum (which was in the form of a Hungarian Horntail) telling Hugh to come for dinner. "Knowing him he'll show up in 5 minutes.
Bill laughed, "Wanna bet on it?"
Charlie smiled back, "You're on. A Galleon?"
Bill smirked, "he'll be here in 3 minutes."
Both boys turned to watch the clock intently.
At 2 minutes and 58 seconds Hugh knocked on the door.
"Yes!" Bill fist pumped, "A Galleon to me dear brother."
Charlie mumbled as he fiddled for a Galleon, "I guess I underestimated his hunger."
Hugh walked into the living room with a huge smile on his face, "Ahhhh how I've missed this place."
Hugh walked up to Ginny and kissed her a little racily causing Harry to go red in the face, "Call me sometime sweetie," he winked, and Fred and George had to put a hand on Harry's shoulder.
Hugh looked at Harry and smiled, "You got a lovely lady there mate." He went over and shook Harry's hand, "By the way thanks for saving the world."
That caused everyone to calm down and laugh, and Hugh continued around the circle hugging and kissing. When he got to Fleur, Bill quickly said. "Now that's my woman, and watch how you're kissing her." Hugh laughed and raised Fleur's hand to his lips, "I'm not an animal Bill." He winked at Fleur and she giggled and blushed a little.
The thing about Hugh was he is every woman's dream, he is sexy and outgoing. A little arrogant and very romantic. He really can woo ladies with a look.
He snuggled into the couch beside Hermione and turned to her smiling, "Now to the most beautiful woman in the room, besides Mrs. Weasley," he called out, causing the matriarch to go red and giggle. "Should I show you how a real man kisses?"
Charlie pushed Hugh off the couch and they started to wrestle around on the floor, "Would you stop hitting on my girl Hugh." Charlie said pulling him into a headlock.
Everyone was laughing and smiling, enjoying each others company when they heard someone cough and they looked up to see Ron standing there, with a grumpy Luna by his side.
The laughter dropped off, and Charlie stood up lending his hand to Hugh to help him up, and quickly dropped down by Hermione.
The silence was incredible awkward as everyone evilly stared at Ron including Luna, who was extremely pissed at him for opening his mouth and hurting Hermione even more. She hadn't wanted to come tonight, she knew with all the anger Crenels would be out and she had forgot her special glasses to see them, but Ron had pulled her out with him. "Not wanting to face it alone, with out my Love Luna," as he had put it. She knew he was just too much of a damn coward. And she was beginning to wonder what she had seen in him.
Luna looked around at all the faces of her once friends and thought she could detect a little warmth towards her, she turned to Hermione who actually smiled at her and Luna felt a little more in place. She could see that Hermione and Charlie were snuggled together and she was happy Hermione was happy. She continued on until these blue orbs caught her eyes and she was looking into the eyes of the most beautiful man she had ever seen. He actually took her breath away and she wondered if Vivvies were around, which made you immediately fall in love with the first person you notice. He had dark hair that hung surferish on his head, and was deeply tanned. He had a scar that ran down his cheek to his jaw and drool worthy shoulders. He smiled at her and winked and she swear she could feel her heart burst through her chest. She was broke out of the trance by Mrs. Weasley's voice calling them all to dinner.
