Charlie Weasley
I stumbled down the floo network, coughing. Honestly, I was of age to apparate but unfortunately, I failed my test twice!
I dusted the dust and dirt of my shoulders, and started walking towards the kitchen, saying, "Anyone home!? It's me, (y/n)!"
All of a sudden, I heard footsteps descending down the stairs and got squashed by a tight hug. I shrugged it off and laughed at the two squishing me. "Fred! George! Get off me!!"
They let go off me and said, at the same time, "We missed you!"
I ruffled their hair. "I missed you too! Look how big you've grown! Last time I saw you, you were this tiny!" I said, emphasizing the word tiny by using my fingers.
"Shut up, (y/n)!" George said and Fred then, continued saying, "We were always taller than you, anyways!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," I said and both of them stuck their tongues out at me.
Then suddenly, another person arrived from the floo network as well, but lost balance and fell on top of me. I immediately knew who it was. "Charles Weasley!! Get off!! You're really heavy!"
Charlie was the only person in the family who preferred the floo network over apparating. 'Well, I couldn't blame him,' I thought to myself remembering how he failed his first apparation test. I chuckled to myself before remembering how I failed both of mine and shut up.
Charlie got off me and offered me his hand to get up but me, being the stubborn one I always was, slapped his hand away and got up on my own. "Stubborn, like always," he said, chuckling to himself.
Slowly, the whole Weasley family came downstairs to welcome us. "Charlie! (Y/n)!" Ginny and Ron screamed and ran up to us, embracing us in a long hug.
"It's a coincidence we came at the same time, right?" He whispered to me, and I nodded my head.
"Where's Perce?" I asked and everyone suddenly became silent. Molly looked as if she was going to break down in tears and second now, while Arthur's eyes held hurt and sadness.
Bill, who was also in the room, explained to me how Percy left the family because of the ministry not believing Harry and Dumbledore and all that nonsense! I listened wide-eyed before getting really mad and walking towards the door.
However, before I was able to go outside, a hand grabbed me and pulled me towards the person. Charlie. "Where're you going?" He asked me.
"I'm going to the ministry and knocking some sense into that oblivious little git!" I shouted.
Everyone in the room, who were staring at my fiery red eyes, gulped. A lot of people knew I wasn't the kind of person to mess with because I had an uncontrollable temper.
"(Y/n), Calm down, we already tried knocking sense into him, he won't listen." Charlie said, calmly.
I calmed down a bit before replying, "Well, I'm his best friend, aren't I? Maybe he would listen!"
"(Y/n)...." Charlie said, sighing.
"Fine! Fine!" I said, holding my hands up in defeat.
"Hey! Someone finally learned how to control her!" Fred blurted out and everyone started laughing, causing the tense atmosphere to break down.
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm hungry!" Charlie said, and Molly started pushing us to the kitchen, preparing a huge feast for us. I sat down, beside Charlie and thought about the past, a bit.
*Flashback*
"Percy!!!" I screamed, tackling him to the ground while he groaned. It was the Christmas holiday and Percy has invited me over to his place.
"Can't you be a bit more sensible, (y/n)?" He asked, trying to act annoyed but failing miserably.
"Well, I wouldn't be me if I was more sensible!" I said throwing my hands up.
He chuckled and the twins came into the room gasping dramatically. "Did we just-" Fred started. "Hear Percy the Prefect chuckle?" George finished.
Percy, like usual rolled his eyes at them and said, "If you two didn't waste so much time pranking, you'd be able to get a job at the ministry." He continued on with the ministry talk and I, for once, ignored him and went to the kitchen.
"Hello, Mrs. Weasley. Do you need any help with anything?" I asked.
"Oh, hello dear. I don't need any help in the kitchen but could you wake Ginny, Ron, Bill and Charlie, please? Surprisingly, it seems as if the twins have already woken up, and so has Percy." She replied.
"Ok, Mrs. Weasley. I'll wake them up." I said, turning around to get them.
"Oh, and (y/n) dear, please call me Molly." She said smiling.
"Ok, Mrs- Oh, I mean, Molly," I said, nodding.
I went upstairs and went to Ginny's room and knocked. "Ginny, it's time to wake up," I said, without going inside. The door opened to reveal an already dresses Ginny and she smiled at me. "Thanks, (y/n)" she said and I smiled at her.
I then, went to Ron's room. "Ron! Wake up!!" I said, once again knocking on his door. I heard a loud thud on the other side followed by a groan.
I, knowing he was already up, went to Bill's room to find the door open. Bill was still sleeping and I saw a cup of water on the small stool next to him. 'Ooh, this is going to be interesting,' I thought to myself before taking the cup of water and throwing it all over him. I quickly ran out of the room, hearing the loud, "(y/n)!!!" he gave me.
And, finally we have to wake up Charlie. You could say Charlie and I knew each other well, considering he was the one I met first on the train. He was the one who dropped me at Percy's compartment to make friends, as we were both first years. Charlie's door was also open, so, I took this as an advantage and went inside. I grabbed the nearest pillow and started hitting him with it, shouting, "Charles Weasley!!! Get up!!!"
I stopped smacking him with the pillow, knowing he was awake, and quickly sped downstairs, laughing. I then entered the kitchen quietly as if nothing happened, waiting for the others to come down.
Soon, everyone else came down and unfortunately, for me Charlie sat right next to me. I chuckled to myself, remembering what I did when I heard Charlie whispering, "Think it's funny, don't you?"
I turned to his side and nodded, but when I looked at his eyes, I could see a glint of mischief in it. Oh well, I wonder what his revenge is going to me.
We ate breakfast slowly and I devoured each and every bite of it. Honestly, Molly makes the best breakfast ever! We went to the outside after the field and instantly, someone hoisted me up onto their shoulder. Of course, I already knew who it was. "Charles!! Put me down!" I said, trying to wriggle out of his grip.
He just laughed and said, "Revenge is revenge."
All of us a sudden, he threw me into a lake and I shivered, feeling the cold. I, not knowing how to swim, started wriggling and gasping for air. "Charlie! She can't swim!" I heard Percy shout.
"Oh shit," Charlie mumbled and jumped into the lake, helping me. I gasped for air as soon as I came back on shore and smacked Charlie on the head. "Comment as-tu pu faire quelque chose comme ça, idiot!?" I scolded him, in French, and everyone looked at me not understanding. Well, except Fleur, who had come a little bit later, I think? Oh, and if you're all wondering, I'm half French. My mum is French, and she's a muggle.
*End of Flashback*
I smiled, remembering it when someone poked me on the side and asked, "What are you laughing about?"
"I just remembered something, Charlie," I said, smiling at him. He smiled back and we ate in silence.
-----------------------------------
"Love, what are you thinking about," Charlie asked me and I smiled. 'Just remembered something," I replied. We walked a bit in the Muggle Park and sat down in one of the benches. "Do you remember the day you became my girlfriend?" Charlie asked, looking up at the sky.
"I do," I whispered, looking up at the beautiful stars.
*Flashback*
I gasped at the garden, which was decourated with flowers and candles everywhere. There was a table in the middle, with 2 chairs. "Seat down, m'lady," Charlie said, and I obliged sitting down.
He too sat down and asked, "So, what do you think?"
"It's beautiful," I whispered.
Everyone had taken by surprise when Charlie asked me on a date. Most of them, including Molly and Arthur, thought Percy would be the one to ask me. I, however, shook that thought away telling them, that Percy was actually like a brother to me. Throughout the time, I spent with Charlie, I started developing feelings for him so, obviously, I agreed to go on the date.
"(y/n), will you be my girlfriend?" Charlie asked suddenly, shaking me out of my thoughts. I stared at him agape because I didn't think he'd ask me so suddenly.
Charlie, sensing my silence in the wrong way said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have-."
I cut him off by saying, "I'd love too."
He stared at me for a minute before saying, "What?"
"I said I'd love to be your girlfriend, Charlie," I said, smiling.
His face broke into a grin and he let out a shout of happiness, causing me to laugh. Oh, I'd never forget that day.
