I am different, I am strange - Charlie Weasley

17) Distant ~ Charlie's P.O.V

*Time skip* Charles P.O.V *Time skip*

It's been about a month since Lucy started to ignore me, in fact she ignores everyone except Ginny, Hermione, Percy and Mum. I have absolutely no idea what her problem is. Every time that I try to talk to her, she ignores me and pretends nothing had ever happened. She becoming so distant, so far out of reach and because she is ignoring me, it means that I feel really guilty for a reason I don't know. 

I mean... Is she avoiding me for a reason? And if so, then I wanna know! After all, it is about me... I think. Henry's still here, he will be here til Christmas because... I dunno... It's just... Tradition, I s'pose and he is the one who keeps me from yelling at Lucy. As for Percy... Well lets just say, I had a broken nose. Never knew Perce could throw a punch let alone break a body part. 

Oh right, he punched me after he brought Luce down. She had red puffy eyes, a bloody fist and she was shaking, but when she had made eye contact with me, she glared coldly and said nothing. She just stood there... Silently. After Mum fixed her fist up, she thanked her then left. Mum also left the room, leaving and Percy in the room together. Next thing I knew he had lunged for me calling me a cold hearted bloody git and punched me right n the nose! So yeah... He has been either ignoring me or glaring at me for some reason. So yeah... That's the wonderful adventure in my life so far.

I was currently laying on my back in my bed, trying to figure out why every time that I like some girl more than a friend always takes a turn for the worse. I mean it isn't fair and also, I have noticed that Lucy has a lot and I mean a LOT of secrets being hidden from everyone. Apparently she has or had a little brother, but that's all I know, so I might just go all commando and find out. 

However, that they prove difficult seeming as I need to regain the trust that I seem to have magically lost. Then again... I could go all detective and snoop around her room and through her stuff, but if I was ever caught then she would never talk to me again... So I guess that I will just go regain the trust that I lost. Before I have to go back to Romania, but how? I sighed "You know... You're easy to read right?" I heard Henry question, I turned to face him "Your point is?" I snapped, then closed my eyes again "My point is..." He paused "Don't leave me in suspense will ya" I stated sarcastically, trying to get him to hurry up with this so called point "Nothing" He sighed, then everything went quiet, but not the awkward sort of silence if you know what I mean.

 What the hell was that? Someone can't just say 'The point is... Nothing' it's not right and it's unfair! Really unfair "C'mon mate, tell me!" I complained, he chuckled "It's nothing Charlie honestly" He replied, I opened my eyes to see that his was closed "Well it's not honesty if you go to say something, but don't say it" I said, starting to get annoyed.

He opened his eyes and looked straight at me "Fine, I will tell you... The point is... If you are easy to read people can use that to their advantage" He explained, but I still didn't get it "Yeah... So?" I replied roughly, he just sighed and turned from his side onto his back, he stared up at the plain ceiling "So... Lucy will be able to tell if you are happy, sad, angry, annoyed, ecstatic etc." He explained it in a bit more detail and closed his eyes again "Well she hasn't been very pleasant lately, so why should I?" I asked impatiently with a tad bit of anger mixed in with my tone "Whats with the attitude mate! I'm only trying to help you out! You Charlie. No one else. You!" He lost control and snapped at me, finally.

I wanted him to get angry. Why I do not have the foggiest, he just looked like he needed a good yelling spree. Seeming as I haven't done anything wrong there was no reason to complain or argue so yeah. Also I am in a bad mood with this whole 'Lets ignore Charlie' thing that Lucy is doing and I hate it! Why can she not just talk it out with me? Am I that hard to talk to? Or have I done something wrong?

 I heard another sigh and turned to face him again "What now?" I whined, he smirked "You're easy to talk to Char and you must have done something wrong for her to be ignoring you" He answered my unspoken questions. WOW! Am I really that easy to read? Henry laughed "Yes, yes you are" He answered again, I just stared at him wide eyed, awaiting for anymore shocking facts about my best friend, whom apparently know NOTHING about! Wow, I'm a great friend!

I sat up on my bed, still facing him "Hey Hen, how do I approach her?" I asked him, he chuckled, then sighed "Who am I? Cupid?" He asked sarcastically "I have no idea mate!" He admitted loudly and now was my turn to sigh. I yawned and looked around the room. I dunno why, but I did. I stood up off of my bed "Just go talk to her lover boy" He stated at the same time as teasing me "Shut up mate!" I said in a -Don't mess with me- tone, but that did not scare him off, he just laughed at me. Git! Anyway, I s'pose just talking to her would be the easiest option, but the last few times I tried talking to her she either:

Ignored me and pretended I wasn't there.

Just acted like I said nothing and carry on with what she was doing.

Smile at me and go outside.

So as I probably keep thinking, this is gonna be challenging, but as Henry said, I do not back away from that challenge. Well usually I don't anyway. Aw whatever, I am thinking way too much and I don't like thinking! It hurts my brain. I am so sick and tired of this and Lucy... Lucy... Lucy can go get stuffed! Two can play at her game and I will not cave in! If she doesn't wanna talk to me then she don't have to, but I am gonna give up with her. Normally I'm getting chased, not me chasing them! Right she wants me, she has to get me!

Someone sighed, Henry... Obviously... Duh! I mentally face palmed "Dude... You are so easy to read... You know that?" He sighed again, annoyance evident in his eyes "What?" I asked innocently "Just go and bloody well talk to her!" He stated angrily as he ran his hand through his hair "You're an idiot mate" He muttered, just barely audible for me to hear. What ever! I am not giving in. WOW! I sound like a girl! I left my room to shower, but it already was in use, so I waited outside the door with a towel in hand. That's when I heard singing and it was good. Like really really good!

(Kelly Clarkson - Never again) (Pretend it's Lucy please) - Up top

I listened to the whole song and it was... Just... Well... Wow, it was just wow, you know what I mean? I hope you do. Suddenly the shower turned off and I could hear footsteps, but she didn't open the door... Well I'm assuming it was a she, but that's not the point. Then I heard her voice " Memories fade, but horrors remain" I heard her whisper so quietly, that I'm surprised that I could even hear her. It wasn't my little sister Ginny because... Well she is normally so happy and joyful. 

It wasn't Hermione because she has more of a deep voice... Not like guy deep, but girl deep... WOW! I probably sound like a stalker right now! I ain't, but I do sound like one, anyway! Back on track. If it wasn't Ginny and it wasn't Hermione that must leave either Mum or Lucy. It couldn't have been Mum because I know what Mum sounds like so that leaves Lucy.

 I was very happy with myself that I had just guessed who was in the bathroom, but man! A girl takes forever! "What are you doing here?" Someone asked suddenly, I jumped and turned to face them... Lucy "I-I-I w-was wa-waiting f-f-for y-you t-to leave t-th-the ba-bath-bathroom so I-I coul-could s-sh-shower" I stuttered my whole way through that one sentence as I noticed that she was in nothing other than a small bath towel, that reached mid thigh. I felt the blood rushing to my cheeks as I just stood there, staring at her. She cleared her throat, snapping me back to reality, then she gestured to the now vacant bathroom.

I just stared at her... Confused "You wanna shower... Go shower" She said awkwardly, trying to avoid eye contact with me "You're really good at singing you know that?" I asked before I could think and soon regretted it, I too then averted my eyes from her "Err- Umm- Th-thanks" She replied awkwardly again, I looked up and saw her blushing. 

She really was pretty and beautiful and mesmerising and many more. Shut it Charles Weasley! You are meant to be ignoring her not talking to her! Stupid "I-I-I'm-m gonna go" She stuttered and slid pass me, my gaze followed her as she left and ran up the stairs to her room. I came to my senses and remembered the reason on why I really came down here... To shower. I walked in and locked the behind me and well... Had a shower.
