Conflict (Charlie Weasley)

Coming out of the burrow's fireplace, I stepped through, wiping the soot off. I breathed in the familiar scent of the home that I had missed for the past couple of weeks. I made it a point to come here once a week, I don't have family of my own, and the Weasley's treated me like their daughter the moment I became friends with Charlie. After he moved to Romania, five years ago, I couldn't bring myself to stop seeing them. Bill had become one of my best friends while I was dating his brother, he was the one I turned to when Charlie left me in the dust.

Charlie had been waiting on his letters from the multiple reserves, he had interviewed at four different places, and was hoping he would get into one to become a dragonologist. I sat on the couch in the Weasley's home, my legs draped over Charlie's legs as we talked.

"It's been weeks, Y/n, how have I not heard anything back?"

"I don't know, love, but sometimes these things take time. We just have to be patient."

"You're right, I know. I'm just so ready to finally get started. I mean we graduated a month ago, you have a job that you love at Gringott's and I feel like I'm just wasting away here."

I giggled, "I understand but my job is easier to get than yours."

"Charlie" Molly yelled from the kitchen, "your letters came!"

He jumped up so quickly I almost fell off of the couch. I followed after him, my heart in my throat, as I watched him tear open the letters.

"I got into all four! I get to choose!" He started jumping around like he was a kid, again.

"That's amazing babe!" I threw my arms around him, giving him a huge hug and a quick kiss.

He laughed, "I can't wait to go to Romania!"

I stepped back, "Romania? I thought, I thought you wanted to go to Wales? That's what we talked about."

"I just thought I wouldn't get into Romania's training program so Wales was my back up."

"But Romania is thousands of miles away, Wales was already going to be a hard enough distance."

"Y/n this is my dream, I'm going to the best program there is! Why aren't you happy for me?" He became defensive

"Why aren't I happy?! Charlie, you're choosing to go to a place thousands of miles away from me and your family!"

"This is my dream!" He yelled

"I was your dream once too!" Tears started flooding down my cheeks, "We are supposed to get married, Charlie!"

"This is so important though!"

I took a step back, "So, I'm not important enough, now?"

"That's, that's not what I meant, and you know it!"

"I don't know that anymore!"

All of Charlie's siblings are now watching this fight unfold.

"When does it say you should report to Romania?"

He looked at me, "Two weeks"

"Two weeks?! We are supposed to get married in a month, Charlie!"

"I can come back for it"

"So you can, what, leave right after? No!"

"I don't want to choose between this and you, this is my dream!"
