~Charlie POV~

Riku and I were walking towards the Durmstang ship after a long day of swimming in our underwear and having fun with Hogwarts students.  "So.  Riku.  Guess what."  I said, beginning a conversation.  "What?"  She asked.  I looked around to make sure we were alone.  "I know who you like!"  I sang.  "What?!  How'd you know I like someone?"  She asked.  "Cause you just told me."  I said, grinning. 

"What?  Oh.  Oh!  That's mean."  She said, crossing her arms over her chest.  "Nah, just a smart move.  Now, who is it?"  I asked.  "George Weasley."  She mumbled, looking down and blushing.  "Aww!  You're so adorable!"  I said, laughing.  She just glared at me and punched me in the arm.  "Ow!  You jerk!"  I yelled, tackling her to the ground.

That was actually a pretty stupid move because she's a lot stronger than me and had me pinned to the ground in about a minute.  "Now then, since you're just laying around, why don't you tell me who you like?"  Riku said, pinning my arms above my head so I couldn't push her off.  "I don't like anyone!"  I said, staring up at her.

"Liar!  Who's jacket is this?"  She asked.  "What the he- Oh."  I said, remembering that I put Draco's jacket on before I left the carriage.  "Ya.  Oh.  Who's is it?!"  She demanded.  "He's just a friend!  He found Sep.  Happy now?"  I told her.  "No."  She huffed, letting go of my arms and getting off of me. 

I laughed at her as she pouted and helped me up off the ground.  "I'm tired."  Riku yawned.  "Then go to bed.  You're ship is right over there."  I said, turning her around.  "Okay.  I'm gonna go to bed.  Bye, Charlie."  Riku said, waving at me before walking towards the Durmstang ship. 

"What to do?  What...to...do."  I muttered to myself as I walked back towards the castle.  "Oh!  I know!"  I yelled as an idea came to me.  I ran up to the castle and as soon as I got there I started calling out for George.  "Where are you, George?!" 

"GEORGE?!  WEASLEY?!" 

"HELLO?" 

"GINGER BOY WONDER!  ARE YOU AROUND HERE?!"

Those were just a few of the things I called out as I wandered around the castle.  "You called?"  A voice asked from behind me.  "Oh!  Hello, George!"  I said, turning around and smiling at him.  "Hey.  Wait a second.  You're not George.  You're Fred."  I said, narrowing my eyes at him.  "How'd you know?"  Fred asked, surprised.

"Because I'm clever."  I said, smiling at him.  "Ah, well, George is in the common room, I can go and get him for you, if you want?"  He asked.  "Yes, please!"  I said.  "Alrighty then, I'll be right back."  He said, patting my head.  I was only waiting for about seven minutes before George came around the corner.  "Hello, George!"  I grinned. 

"Hello, Charlie."  He said, waving at me.  "So, my brother said you wanted to see me?"  He asked.  "I do indeed."  I nodded my head.  "Why?"  He asked curiously.  "You know my sister?  Riku?"  I said, knowing he did know who she was.  She introduced me to him after all.  "Ya, I know her."  He said.

"Well.  You should aske her out.  She really likes you."  I said.  "Really?  What did she say?"  He asked.  "Well, she just sort of..."  I trailed off.  "What exactly did she say?"  He asked.  "She said you were a Mr. Hottie… ness. And that she would like to go out with you for texting and scones."  I said, making that up on the spot. 

He just raised an eyebrow at me and said, "You really haven't done this before, have you?"

"No, I haven't."  I sighed.  "But she really does like you."  I said, giving him a weird lopsided grin.  "Uh huhh..."  He said, looking down at me.  "Okay, I'm gonna leave now!"  I said, shrugging my shoulders before skipping past him down the hallway. 

As I was skipping around the castle trying to find my way out, I started to sing.

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

there they are standing in a row

big ones small ones some as big as your head

give 'em a twist

a flick of the wrist

that's what the show man said

now that i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

everybody knows they'll make me rich

there stands me wife

the idle of me life

singing a rolly bowly ball a penny a pitch

singing a rolly bowly ball a penny a pitch

rolly bowly ball

a rolly bowly ball

singing rolly bowly ball a penny a pinch"

"Heehee, that's such a silly song."  I said, laughing to myself.  "What is?"  Said Draco, as he came up beside me.  "Oh hi, I didn't see you there!"  I said.  "Ah.  What song?"  He asked again.  "I've Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts."  I told him.  "I've never heard of that song..."  He said. 

"Hm.  Maybe I'll sing it to you sometime.  By the way, do you know how to get out of here?"  I asked, looking up at him.  "Ya.  You do realize you're in the dungeons right?"  He asked.  "Oh.  Wow.  I have no sense of direction at all."  I muttered.  "Obviously not."  He said, grabbing my elbow and turning me around.  "The entrance hall is this way."  He said.

"Oh.  Woops."  I said.  He just rolled his eyes at me.  "How come you're so short?"  He asked.  "Hey!  I'm not short!  I'm fun sized!"  I said, hitting him on the arm.  "And I'm not short!  I'm almost 5 foot.  People here are just abnormally tall." 

"Ya, cause 5 foot isn't short at all."  He said sarcastically.  "It's not!  Are we almost to the entrance hall?"  I asked.  "We'll be there in about fifteen minutes."  He said.  "Fifteen minutes?!"  I groaned, plopping down on the floor.  "It's just fifteen minutes."  He said, looking down at me oddly as I lay sprawled out all over the floor.  "But then it's another ten minutes to my carriage and I'm so lazy."  I muttered, closing my eyes.

"Well you can't just lay there."  He said, trying to reason with me.  It won't work though.  "Oh, can't I?"  I countered.  "No.  The Bloody Baron will get you."  He said.  "Let him."  I said sleepily. He didn't say anything back.  It was quiet for about a minute before I felt myself being lifted and thrown over Draco's shoulder.

"Seriously?!  I'm not a fucking baby!"  I yelled.  "Really?  Cause you're acting like one."  He said.  "Oh, fuck you."  I said, glaring at his back.  "Is that your favorite word?"  He asked as we started to walk up steps.  "Ya.  It fucking is.  Shut up."  I said, my mood turning sour.

"Ouch.  Fine then."  He said.  And then he shut up.  It did indeed take us fifteen minutes to get to the entrance hall, but then Draco didn't put me down, he just kept on walking; apparently taking me to the carriage as well. 

As we past the Durmstang ship I heard someone yell out, "OH YA!  YOU DEFINITELY DON'T LIKE ANYONE!" 

"FUCK YOU TOO, BITCH!"  I called back, lifting my hand to flip Riku off; knowing she would see it.  "YOU THINK I CAN'T SEE YOU?!"  She screamed.  "BITCH, I KNOW YOU CAN SEE ME!"  I yelled back, but I didn't get a reply.  "Fucking bitch."  I said, glaring at the ground beneath me. 

We, well, he walked for about three more minutes before coming to a stop.  "Thank god.  Put me the fuck down."  I said, irritated.  "Alright."  He said, and dropped me.  "Bastard."  I muttered, getting up off the ground and taking of his jacket to throw at him. 

I glared at him one last time before turning around and walking up the steps of the carriage.  "What?  No good night kiss?"  He said arrogantly.  I just flipped him off before opening the door, walking inside, and slamming it closed behind me.  "Asshole."  I muttered.
