"Thanks mum. Yeah no don't worry. She will be fine." I watched as Charlie talked to his mother through the small crack in the door. From what I could hear, I would be in locked in here all evening. Thank Godric he had his own bathroom. Perks of being the oldest I guess. Once he turned back to me with food in his hands, I realized how hungry I actually was. He sat and handed me a plate.

"Thank you," I said quietly. I was currently sitting cross legged at the foot of his bed. He sat opposite of me, legs stretched out beside me, back against the headboard. "So am I the only one in Weasley jail?" I ask causing him to choke of his food from laughing. I couldn't help the giggle that escaped.

"Well," he coughed clearing his throat. "No you're not the only one in Weasley jail as you put it. Lavender is locked up with Ron in his room. As soon as I got you in here, he moved her to his room. According to mom, they are having a screaming match."

"But how can they tell? I put up a spell of my own making to silence all these rooms."

"And why, may I ask, did you do that?" He asked quirking his brow.

"Harry and Ginny."

"Ah." Enough said there. Everyone knows how those two can get. Even Charlie who hadn't been here since their wedding. Apparently he came, but I didn't recognize him or even talk to him. "Anyways, mum broke through your spell I guess. She said she's been listening in."

"I did set the spell to where Molly could call everyone for dinner, but she's not supposed to be able to do anymore than that. That was two years ago though, so she must've found a way to modify it." I shrugged.

"Mums pretty smart. She also was giddy about the screaming match. When I asked her why, she just replied with 'a divorce may be in the future!'" I snorted at his reenactment of his mother's joy. He just smiled scooping a forkful of food into his mouth.

"I hate that I laughed at that," I said feeling somewhat guilty about getting excited over Ron getting a divorce.

"Don't, apparently the whole clan is standing outside his room listening. Ginny looks as if she's about to faint she's so happy that Ron is finally putting her in her place." He paused to take a bite. "So I don't think you should feel bad. In fact, I barely know the bint and I already don't like her. Who says that to someone at the dinner table?" He looked upset and shook his head.

"It's like that every year. I only come because I know Molly wants me here. Lavender always has something to say to me about me being single, my work, my looks, and just about anything she can think of. However, fucking Ron's brother to make him jealous is a new one." I say looking at my plate.

"What happened between you and Ron?" He asked eyeing me. I don't know why I decided to tell him, but it all just came out.

"During the war, Ron and I had to go down into what's called the Chamber of Secrets to destroy a horcrux. When I stabbed it, a wave of water came rushing at us. When the water cleared, we kissed. I think it was all the stress and exhaustion. We just broke. After that we decided to try a relationship, but after a year, we realized it wasn't what we wanted. So we decided to break up."

"So it wasn't a nasty break up causing you to be a jealous wench?" He asked me chuckling. I couldn't help but smile at him.

"No. I couldn't imagine myself ever being upset over Ron Weasley."

"So every year she nags at you over nothing?" I nod my head. "Sounds to me like she's jealous of you." He says setting his plate on his side table.

"That's what Ginny and I believe too. But, I don't know why you would believe that. You barely know me," I say quietly laughing.

"I know enough," he said leaning forward.

"Oh yeah? Like what?" I ask suddenly interested in what he knows.

"Well first, I know the obvious. You're clearly gorgeously beautiful." I blush looking down at my plate once again. I shouldn't have felt elated hearing him say that. He's Ginnys big brother for goodness sake. He's probably just saying that to be polite. "From what I've read in the many letters I've received, you're extremely intelligent. You've got the nickname 'brightest witch of her age' so I figured that one out. Ginny told me all about your store, your love for books, how caring you are as a person, how you always put yourself before others without a care for yourself, and how good of a cook you are." My eyes widened. He really did know more about me than I thought he did.

"Okay Charlie, since you seem to know so much about me, I think I need to know more about you." I say handing him my somewhat empty plate. He took it and placed it on top of his.

"What do you want to know?" He asked pulling my legs to move close to him. I moved for him, sitting beside him with my back on the headboard as well. I turned looking into those blue eyes that could drown me and said, "Everything."

"Well what do you know?" He asked scooting over the last inch so my shoulder was touching his arm.

A/n: remember this is all fictional, some of the things said about Charlie might not directly correlate with the books.

"Umm, I know you train and tame dragons. I know you're the second oldest Weasley child. From what I've heard from your siblings, you're incredibly fun, an avid reader, a hard worker, and just like me, you put others before yourself."

"All true. But that's not the interesting stuff. Let's play a game." She said looking toward me.

"Like what? 20 questions?" I asked chuckling. When he didn't reply, I looked up to see him smiling. "Oh you're serious?" He just laughed asking me his first question.
