Unexpected Love (Completed)

Working with Family, Drama, Accepting Jobs, Leaving

*Hermiones POV*

I woke up today feeling more alone than ever, I looked around the dark hotel room letting out a small sigh before getting up. I went to the bathroom seeing my hair still in it's messy bun, and it honestly didn't look too bad. I smiled a bit before going and getting my make-up bag. I did my usual thin black eyeliner, with mascara, before adding down black eye-shadow. I sighed going back to my bag and pulling out my clothes, I pulled on my gray ripped up t-shirt, with dark wash jeans, my usual tie boots and my leather jacket. I sighed, grabbing my bag and broom walking out of the room and down to the front desk checking out. I took my bag tying it to my waist before hopping on my room and heading to the Dragon reservation. When I got there I saw Ginny, and Harry, walking around, I went over giving them a hug before pulling away and looking around trying to find Charlie.

"He's talking to Chance."

I looked at Ginny giving her a confused look.

"Who?"

"Charlie, that is who you're looking for isn't it?"

I sighed, walking away and going to Chance's trailer, I opened the door and walked in to see Charlie with his hand on Chance's neck. I looked at them shaking my head, Charlie looked at me and I knew that he was pissed.

"What's going on?"

Charlie sighed.

"This is none of your concern Hermione."

I walked over pulling him from Chance before looking at Chance.

"What is this about Chance?"

"You."

I gave him a confused look before looking at Charlie.

"What about me?"

"Well, I had made a comment about how good you looked on that Dragon yesterday, and how your ass looks in those tight jeans."

I smirked, shaking my head before letting my hands clutch into fists and making contact with his already bruised and broken nose. He bent over and I got next to his ear, before letting my angered voice come to him like nails on a chalkboard.

"Listen here boss, keep your eyes on my face, and your mouth shut. There's a way to treat a lady obviously your mother never taught you respect. I quit, I can do so much better than this job dealing with pricks like you all day, the Dragons have more respect than you do."

I stood up and walked out of the trailer, going over to my broom. I hoped on with Charlie, Harry, and Ginny following me back to the apartment. When we got there I went straight to my room and started packing. I sent a quick letter to Minerva letting her know that I will be there in a bit to discuss my position as Transfiguration professor. As I continued to pack there was a knock at my door, I opened it to see Charlie standing there leaning against the door frame. I sighed letting him in while I continued to pack, he walked to me taking my wrists in his hands and stopping my motions, I looked up at him and shook my head.

"Don't go, Hermione."

I sighed, shaking my head.

"I have to, come with me."

He looked at me letting go of my hands.

"I can't, my job, my life, my friends, they're all here."

I sighed.

"But your family, me, is back there, my home, your home, you could have a job there with me, and you know it. I love you Charlie and I won't nor can I force you to come with me, however if you stay you'll lose me, I love you."

With that I went to the living room before following Harry and Ginny to the spot, we apperated to Hogwarts and there stood Professor McGonagall with a smile on her face. She gave us a hug before pulling away and leading us up to the almost completed castle, as I walked down the hall memories flooded my mind. Good and bad came rushing back and I found myself missing this place ten times more than I ever thought I would. I took a deep breath walking into what used to be Dumbledore's office that now belongs to McGonagall. Harry, Ginny, and I sat down talking a bit before Harry was given the defense against the dark arts position. Ginny was offered the fly teachers position, and I of course the Transfiguration position that I of course take. Harry and Ginny also agreed to be the teachers, and I offered to work with Hagrid when it came to Dragon season. I was also offered the role as headmistress for the Gryffindor house that in no way could I pass up. When everything was said and our contracts were signed she showed us to our chambers and I of course just decided to stay there. I put my things away before taking a shower and getting ready for bed. I crawled under the covers and shook my head missing Charlie already.

*Charlies POV*

When Harry, Ginny and I got back to the apartment I watched Hermione walk right to her room, I sighed, shaking my head giving her a few moments before knocking on her door. I leaned against the door frame and when she opened it she let out a sigh before letting me in. I watched as she went back to her things and continued to pack, I walked to her taking her wrists in my hands stopping her from finishing, she looked at me and shook her head.

"Don't go, Hermione."

She sighed, shaking her head.

"I have to, come with me."

I looked at her letting go of her hands, I thought for a moment before shaking my head.

"I can't, my job, my life, my friends, they're all here."

She sighed.

"But your family, me, is back there, my home, your home, you could have a job there with me, and you know it. I love you Charlie and I won't nor can I force you to come with me, however if you stay you'll lose me, I love you."

I sighed and before I could say anything she was done packing and walking out of my apartment leaving my life. I went to the kitchen grabbing a beer and sitting on the couch thinking. I love Hermione, can I really just let her go like this? I want to be with her, I know that for sure, but am I willing to give up my dream job, my friends, and the life that I've made here for her? I sighed once again finishing my beer and throwing the bottle away before going and taking a shower hoping it would clear my head before going to bed. I just hope that I can figure this all out, and soon, before I lose her forever.
