Heartache

Pairing: Charlie/Harry, with a semi-dark!Harry

Harrison Riddle had his first case of heartache, his first time making a choice, so big, it effected everything around him. As it was he had sneaked out, some time ago, against his Father's orders, to celebrate his 20th birthday with some dancing, muggle alcohol and a good shag.

But it hadn't stayed with that one time. The man he met there, introduced himself al Charles Prewett. But that proved false, after looking Prewett up, he found them all deceased, with the exception of a woman, who married a Weasley, the same couple his godfather liked to complain about. At their next meeting, the fifth, he confronted the man he knew as Charles, and he confessed his name to be Charlie Weasley.

In a fit of rage he had yelled at the man and threatened with bodily harm if he didn't leave him alone. And Charlie left, they didn't see each other for 1 month, but then it was Harrison who couldn't stay away and went to search for the redhead.

They met regularly again, at least once a week, mostly at the club they had met the first time, ending the night in Charlie's apartment.

And then came the more in dept conversations. What their dreams were, their past times, how the relation with their parents was, that sort of thing.
And Harrison's father came up, Charlie had confessed to knowing who Harrison was the moment he saw him. He had been sent out by Dumbledore in an effort to get him to their, the light side.

When Harrison began despairing the truth in their relationship, Charlie assured him, he wasn't in it anymore to turn him around. After hearing Harrison talk about his father, nobody could deny the love he held for the man, and Charlie didn't want to take that away, he himself had a tense relationship with his parents, a result of the mothering of his mother and the obliviousness of his father, they pushed their own children away from them, babying them even when they were grown men or women. So they had all chosen carriers that resulted in the minimum contact with their parents.
It was because of that, that he didn't want to destroy the relationship Harrison had with his father, he couldn't. He wouldn't, not like that, not like Dumbledore wanted. The old fool would be surprised that most of the Weasleys had cut their strings from his hand.

Charlie sighed and explained his feelings to his love, his beautiful raven, and assured him he wouldn't betray him or his father and that he and most of his brothers wanted a meeting with the Dark Lord, to negotiate an alliance, they didn't want to become Death Eaters, but were willing to support the cause and finance it.

After that meeting, Harrison was standing in front of the door to his father's office, having an internal struggle, he knew he had to tell the man behind the door the whole story and have his father disappointed in him, but also In doing so, the love of his life could join them and resulted in them not having to sneak around to see each other.

With a sigh he opened the door, at his father's shocked face he closed it, took a seat across from the man and began his story. At seeing the look of disappointment and even betrayal on the man's face broke his heart, but he kept on talking. At the end, his father had a look of triumph on his face, making Harrison smile.

Lord Voldemort, while an impatient man, loved his son very much and couldn't imagine a life without the young man, when said young man came to him with a very complicated story, he had different emotions running through him, fear, disappointment, anger, but in the end triumph. What his side had been trying to do, his son had managed in 6 months, by accidently letting the second oldest Weasley falling in love with him.

He would love to tell this to Lucius, but that was for a later date. For now he focused on his son, who was nervously watching him. With a smile he rounded the desk and enveloped the young man in a tight hug. Feeling his son relax, he told the young man how proud he was and that he was welcome to invite Charlie into the home, so they could have some private time, after of course setting a date for the meeting between the eldest Weasley boys and himself.

If his son squealed, both of them would deny it and after hugging him again, ran out of the room to floo his redhead.

Tom Riddle watched his son go with a smile on his face, if his son could turn around the Weasleys, than who knew what else that boy could do, he planned to find out. But first he would let the young lovers be for some hours.

Harrison and Charlie lay together on the youngest bed, enjoying their time together; Harrison couldn't believe this time of his life, this marvelous and great time, had started with heartache.
