Warnings: M/M, F/F, EWE, Sirius Black didn't die in fifth year,

AN: I know that I said Dragon(s), Charlie & Harry would be next. However I just really wanted to get this sequel to Chapter 6: Silk posted.

Harry Potter was nervous. Not that most of the wizarding world would believe that. After all Harry had defeated Voldemort when he was just seventeen years old, why would dinner with a friend make him nervous? Well this was not just any dinner, or just any friend. This friend was Charlie Weasley, his best friend older brother. It also was not just a dinner, it was a date, at least he hoped it was.

He'd originally intended to talk to Ginny, see if she thought Charlie would go on a date with him, before asking the redhead out. However when he'd gone to ask her to dinner so he could talk to her about it, he'd found her sound asleep in Luna Lovegood's arms. He'd backed out of the room and softly closed the door, smiling at how cute they looked and how relieved Ron and the rest of the family would be when they learned that Ginny wasn't dating Dean Thomas anymore. He'd walked down stairs wondering when they'd gotten together, and when they tell Luna's Dad and the Weasley family. When he'd walked into the Burrow's kitchen it was to find Charlie sitting at the table, in a t-shirt and tight blue jeans, sketching a dragon. Harry had acted on impulse and asked Charlie to dinner. To Harry's surprise he'd said yes and suggested that Thursday, explaining that most places were quieter and has less people on Thursdays.

So here it was, Thursday after noon and Harry was a big ball of nerves. He hadn't been able to sit still all day, and even flying didn't calm him. Now he was staring into the closet he was sharing with Ron for another two months, until Ron and Hermione married and they moved into her flat, while Harry stayed at the Burrow where he'd been offered a home for as long as he liked. He had no clue what to wear tonight, he and Charlie hadn't talked about what they were going to do, or where they were going to go. He pulled a pair of charcoal trousers and a teal button down shirt out, slipping into them. Looking in the mirror, trying to make his hair lie flat, he growled. His trousers were all wrong. Going back to the closet he pulled out a pair of tight black jeans and pulled them on. He'd only gotten these jeans because Hermione had said they looked great on him. He didn't think he'd ever wear them. Now he paired them with deep green, custom *Romanian Longhorn, Dragon-Hide boots. (A Christmas gift from Sirius and Remus, the Hide protected the wearers feet from all temperatures.) Turning back to the mirror Harry smiled. He liked how his boots and the jeans looked with the teal shirt.

He had just picked up his wallet and tucked his wand into the hidden sheath on his right arm, when the bedroom door opened and Ron stepped in.

Without looking up from the National Quidditch League Rule book Ron walked to his bed and flopped down. Dropping the book on his chest he sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm never going to remember all this Harry. There's too much!" Ron had just made Keeper for the Chuddley Cannons, and had to learn not only all the National rules, but also the Cannons inner-team rules as well. Turning his head to Harry and opening his eyes, "How do yo…" Ron blinked a few times seeing how Harry was dressed. Harry never dressed up, except for things like wedding, and Ron didn't know of any weddings today. Grinning he said, "Hot date Harry?"

Harry blushed lightly; he didn't know what to say to Ron, he didn't want to lie to him. Yes, Harry hoped it was a date, but what if Charlie didn't see it that way, and even if he did, what would Ron say about Harry going on a date with his brother?

Before Harry could do more than take a breath, no idea what he'd say, a voice spoke from the open doorway. "Yes he does, with me." Harry and Ron both turned quickly to the door, Ron's mouth dropping open and Harry smiling shyly, but happily, seeing Charlie standing there. "You look great Harry. I was thinking we'd go to a muggle cinema and dinner. Is that good for you?"

Harry grinned. "That sounds great! I've never been to the cinema." It wasn't like his aunt and uncle would ever have given him money to go see a movie, and after he started at Hogwarts and had money of his own he didn't have time, nor was it safe for him. The best part though, Charlie said this was a date!

"Well," Harry and Charlie turned to look at Ron, who had sat up on his bed. "It's about bloody time!" Standing Ron walked over to where his older brother and best friend were standing. Looking at Harry first he said, "If you hurt my brother I'll kick your arse." Then turning to Charlie he said, "The same to you Charlie, you hurt my best friend and I will kick your arse."

Harry just stared for a moment. He'd thought for sure that Ron would be upset; after all he'd never told him he was gay. "You're not upset?" Harry asked softly.

Ron laughed. "Hell no I'm not upset! I'm glad to see one of you finally asked the other out. It was getting rather painful watching the two of you sneaking looks at the other when you thought nobody would see."

Charlie chuckled, "And here everyone thinks you're oblivious to stuff like that." Wrapping his arm around Harry's shoulder he said, "Shall we go?"

Grinning Harry nodded. He couldn't wait to see what this evening would hold.

AN: Okay I know this ends rather abruptly, but I wanted to leave the date up to your imaginations. However, if enough people want me to write their date then I might be persuaded to in another chapter. Anyway I hope you like it.
Also I need two pairs, one for the prompt 'Internet' and one for the prompt 'Music'. Let me know in a review or send me a privet message. Thanks!
Oh before I forget, not that it's a big deal if I do, I have changed the Introduction chapter. I've added a list of all the chapters I've posted so far and who the main pairing/character(s) is. I will update that list with every new chapter.

Next Time: Dragon(s), Harry & Charlie. (Really!)
