Family tree

christmas

The next day
We got on the train. I haven't seen George. I was sitting with Fred. We got off. I saw George but he was talking to Percy. He walked over. "Hi, mrs. Weasley""Quinn, long time no see". Me and George weren't out but I think Fred knows. "Hey, you know we are dating right" I whispered. He knows. "Yes". "How are you" I say and he says" pissed that he lied to me". "What do you mean"" at the beginning of this. He was supposed to stop cause he told me he didn't love you. I knew he loved you when he saw you the day of sorting". We got to the house. I went to Charlie's room. "Is that Quinn" Charlie says, running over. He picked me up. "Whose Quinn" I joke and he says" you". We laugh. "Um excuse me" George says. He had this look. Jealously or anger. "Yes" I ask. He gives Charlie this look. His hands fall off my waist, slowly. I stare at the boys. Confused. "What's going on" I ask and Charlie says, hurt" Quinn... Are you with George". "Is this what you arguing about" I ask. "I loved you and you go date my brother. I knew he'd be the one to be your boyfriend. Since you two could talk, you've had a thing. A flirty thing and I'm done with both of you". So whenever George wasn't there for me. Charlie would come. He'd go back and forth. He didn't care about anything except me and his dragons. I knew I broke him. But he put me before everything even though dragons. I felt broken. I wanted to cry. But I had George. Why am I in so much pain over Charlie? I ran after Charlie. I have been for years. He went outside and I followed him down the street. "Charlie" I called but he was pretty fast. "Don't talk to me" he says.

Flashback 6 years old
I ran after Charlie. "Charlie, wait up. Let me go with you" he was going to Hogwarts. 5 years apart. "Silly, you can't go to Hogwarts yet. You can stay here and play with George"" I don't wanna play with him. I wanna play with you". Bill was 13 and Charlie gave him a look. Help me it said. I didn't understand. "Here. If you let Charlie go, he'll bring you back something" Bill says and I shrug. "Ok. Fine". I didn't see the sadness in his eyes. When he came home for Christmas. I was practically waiting at the door. He walked in and hugged him. "Yay. You came back" I said, running around him. "Hey. Oh" George gave Charlie a sad face. "Hey"" hey". I was confused. We went to bed but I went to Charlie's. "Dragons are pretty. I wanna dragon named JuJu" I told him. He smiled and laughed sleepily. I took his hand and he picked me up. "Don't forget about me, Quinnie" he says. He always said that.

Future Charlie
I wanted to collapse. So much walking. "Charlie, please. It's Christmas. It's our holiday. Remember. Everytime you came back from school you said don't forget about me. Everywhere you went you've been telling me that. Does that mean anything to you? I know it does. But your my actual best friend. I am not good at making those. Friends I mean. But please stay" Quinn was tired to too. I felt something. I stopped. Quinn ran over to me and said" please... Stay". "I'll stay but only today for Christmas. I won't talk to you or George" I yelled at her. She wanted to cry. She handed me a little package. She turned around and walked back. "I know I make mistakes, we all do. My biggest mistake was not dealing with you and George. I am breaking up with him but then leaving. Too much. I didn't wanna hurt you. I didn't know you felt that way towards me. I was oblivious. I just wanna tell you. Merry Christmas and a happy new you.... Quinn. Don't forget about me either. Love you". I open the package. A dragon wallet and dragon scale analyse. I always wanted this. I got home. George was sad. "I hope you are happy. Quinn broke up with him and disappeared. She's 14"" and she knows her way around" I finished for mom. My mom yelled at me. "Why didn't either of you tell each other"" I knew Quinn liked Charlie but I knew Quinn always liked me. So I was asked to stop our flirty game but didn't. I also asked her out while Charlie was out of her mind. Quinn is the smartest witch I know besides Hermione. She already learned everything so I took that advantage"George says. "Wow" I say, pissed. "Charlie... What do you have to say"" I didn't know they were dating until I picked up Quinn and got a jealously look from George. Well Quinn knew she was breaking up with George. My Christmas card said so. It was dated. Last week is when she wrote it. On the train"I answered. Christmas was weird. I actually took my presents and went to my forest house. I opened my presents. A jumper, dragon stuff, a apology letter and a wait. A apology letter. "Charlie, I know we have our ups and downs but please. I think we should have talked before either of us made a move so I might break up with her cause it was wrong about what I did. So this is my apology letter, George". I can't believe I didn't. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped. "Bloody hell" I say and I saw Quinn, smiling. "I knew when I said yes. I made a mistake but I do everything for a reason. I did that to get over you cause I thought you married a dragon lady. But I was having fun so when we came over. On the train, I didn't even see him. I remember when George and Fred would do something stupid, they'd shunned me out. I'd call you and we would do something fun. When I was 10, you told me that I was more than the world imagine I'd be cause I was so adventurous and couldn't be tamed. But the day before I left. You said you can't be tamed cause no one has tried except one person and has actually succeeded. Who was that" Quinn says and I say" me. You never noticed it but you were able to believe that I was a good person and obey me but never George. You may be saying but I do love you both. It'll come out. Which one you love more... like true love". "Can I have something before I leave"" money" I ask. "No, a kiss". I nodded. I kissed her lips and it felt real, good and was that the spark. "I never felt a spark kissing either of you but yours felt good. Like motivation" Quinn says.
