Magic and Other Misconceptions [Discontinued]

Boom!

Being in Azkaban was not fun.  Of course, Sirius bitterly mused to himself, that was an obvious fact.  The other obvious fact about Azkaban was that nothing happened.  So when something started to happen, he was at attention.  There had been feeble whispers passed through cracks in their cells, whispers about a girl.  A girl that came almost nightly, taking prisoners and leaving them as shells.  Sirius knew that he had to figure out who she was.  Whoever had a strong enough patronus to keep so many dementors at bay was someone special.  Maybe, he thought to himself, a small kindle of hope lighting within him, he would be able to get out through her.  So he waited for her to come down his row of cells.  He waited for what seemed months for his only chance of freedom.  Freedom to see his daughters, to hold Remus again.  Then one day, it happened.  A glowing fox patronus loped down the hallway -just like Lillian's, he reminisced fondly - closely followed by a figure.  The shadows were obstructing his vision at first, but as she shifted into the light, he caught an unmistakable glimpse of red hair.  He watched in shock as she freed another criminal, them following her dutifully, and later, when she levitated their limp body back into the cell.  Lillian - your 'innocent' daughter, his mind helpfully supplied - was the one taking the prisoners and leaving them with the dementors.  But what was she doing with them?  He had to find out.

Charm and Charlie planned on staying up all night driving to the Weasley's place. They decided to pick them up early and hang out, then take them back to Romania to get Jaxon.

Charlie packed all of his stuff, and went over and poked Charm on the shoulder.

She had appeared to be in deep thought. "Question - why are Fred and George at your family's place? Weren't they disowned?"

"Well, yes," Charlie replied, "But I begged mum and dad to let them stay over the summer and that they were the same old twins."

"Ah, I see," Charm said. She noticed Charlie staring at a notepad he had tried to hide under his lap. She took it, and flipped through the pages.

Charlie began stuttering, "It's not what you think it is... I mean..."

Charm looked him in the eyes. He was scared to death, until he noticed the smirk on her face. "We'll talk about this in the car," she said, barely containing her joy. "Also, got say goodbye to your boyfriend. His cotton candy hair and pale skin makes him quite the match for you."

He became obviously flustered. "Don't make fun of me."

"I'm not - one hundred percent serious. Now go!"

As he walked over and talked to his boyfriend, they shared a kiss.

"I SHIP IT!" Charm yelled from across the hall. They broke apart momentarily, Charlie stuck his tongue out at her, and then they hugged. Charlie then ran over, put his backpack on, grabbed Charm by the waist, and ran out.

"I did not sign up for this!" Charm laughed as he put her in the car. After he got his stuff in the back and started the car, she said, "So, you've heard about the Malfoy's robbery I suppose?"

Charlie looked her dead in the eye and said, "I didn't do that."

She started to burst out into laughter. "Since when are you me?"

His jaw dropped as he pushed the breaks.

"What? You did that? How!?"

"I got drunk and shit happened. Honestly."

"The fuck?"

"Yeah, kinda wei–"

"THAT'S FUCKING INCREDIBLE!"
