Complicated (Charlie Weasley x reader)

Chapter 7 Sooo... are you gonna tell me?

Edited**

It was reaching the end of the year and the last Quidditch match, Gryffindor against Slytherin. It might have been an understatement if you said you were panicking, because you're almost having a panic attack. You promised Charlie you would come and watch, also knowing that Madam Pomfrey didn't need you until after. You had no excuse. You met Charlie earlier that day and wished him good luck, also telling him you were coming, but told him not to look after you since you might faint on the way up.

Which lead you to now.

You were standing at the bottom of the stadium. The match was about to start, but you had some trouble with your legs... they really didn't want you to go up the stairs. You were having an inner discussion with yourself, so you didn't notice when Penny came over to you, until she touched your shoulder. Holy s*** it had startled you, but you got over it fast.

"Is there something you want?" You asked her in a friendly tone, since you didn't really mind her. Penny is a blond, very popular girl in Hufflepuff that's also very good at potions and getting the latest gossip, but that was all you knew about her.

"Why are you still standing here? The match is about to start!" She smiled at you, but you could see the curiosity in her eyes. Well... you didn't really mind her so might as well tell her.

You explained to her that you had this 'minor' fear of heights and that your legs were protesting against you. Penny understood right away and surprisingly didn't laugh. Instead she offered to help you. Normally you wouldn't accept an offer like that, but you really didn't want to disappoint Charlie anymore, so you agreed to it.

While walking up Penny kept telling you to imagine that you were walking up the stairs to the Gryffindor tower, which surprisingly helped. You also got to know Penny a bit more and learned that she loved Quidditch. She always came to the matches, even when Hufflepuff wasn't playing.

After a few minutes you had reached the top and you had to admit that you might have let your fear control you a bit too much. It wasn't really that bad up here, though you refused to go anywhere near the front! You found a seat in the middle and sat down alone, since Penny really wanted to be at the front, and you weren't going to deny her that. You liked being alone anyway, so you didn't mind.

You didn't see what was going on down at the pitch, but you heard madam Hooch talking followed by a whistle and then it started.

You didn't know much about Quidditch, but from the little you knew you could see that Charlie was good at it. He really was a natural on a broom, or so you thought. You were mostly watching him since you didn't understand what was going on anyway, but according to the commentator Slytherin was leading with 20 points.

Then you noticed the Slytherin boy that often seemed to find you. He had a bat in his hand so he must be one of the batters, or was it beaters they were called? Yeah beaters. You then saw him hit one of those attacking balls, a bludger was it? Straight at Charlie, but luckily he missed.

The match had been going on for maybe twenty more minutes and Gryffindor was finally in the lead with 10 points. Charlie was flying much faster, and it seemed like he was following something... oh right! He is a seeker! So he's supposed to catch that golden thingy! Even if you didn't care for Quidditch you always listened when Charlie told you about it, but you weren't that great at remembering the details... He was flying really fast with what you guessed was the Slytherin seeker right next to him, but in the end, Charlie was the one that caught the golden snitch, and the moment he did, everyone around you started to cheer really loudly. You too were happy that your house had won, but wow... Gryffindors are really loud.

*****

You had managed to walk down the stairs without fainting and were now on your way to Madam Pomfrey. No one had surprisingly been hurt, but you still felt like you had to at least see if she needed you. Originally you wanted to congratulate Charlie on their victory, but there were so many people around him that you decided to do that later.
