Blessing in Disguise

Making Sure He Ends Up Where He Derserves

**Charlie's POV**
We must have stood in the hallway, holding onto one another for what felt like an eternity but really was just a matter of minutes.
"We should get upstairs, they'll all be coming out of dinner in a few moments and I'd quite like to keep you to myself tonight"
"Lead the way Mr. Weasley"
The words had barely left her mouth before I had disapparted us both back to our room.
"A little warning next time would b nice you know"
I looked over at Lauren and she was already sat down with her head between her knees.
" You alright love?" Concern lacing my voice.
"I'll be fine in a minute, disapartion doesn't normally affect me so much but I think that's because I haven't eaten since lunch."
"Laur I'm so sorry, I didn't even think. I just wanted us to get out of the hall and fast."
"Char, it's fine really. I already feel much better, just needed a second to rest that's all. I'm going to go wash up and change fast if you don't mind."
"Not at all love, take your time I'm not going anywhere."
While Lauren grabbed her things and walked into the bathroom, I threw on a pair of pajama bottoms and an old t-shirt. I was just pulling down the covers when Laur walked out.
She hesitated just for moment before making her way into be next to me. As soon as she was laying next me I pulled her in close to my chest.
"Now that I have you back, I'm never letting you go."
"Never let go Charlie, never let go" I could hear her mumble quietly as she drifted off to sleep.
Unfortunately for me, I was still so worked up about what Lauren had told me earlier that evening. That her ex boyfriend was the one that attacked her in the dark forest.
My mind was racing, I couldn't possibly sleep. All I could think about was how I was going to find him and lock him up in Azkaban giving him what he deserves for all the pain he's cost Laur.
Lauren slept unmoving in my embrace the entire night, but at 5am it was obvious that I wasn't getting any sleep. So I decided to slowly get out of bed hopefully without waking Lauren and start planning out how I would make sure Nick ended up with what he deserves.

**Laurens POV**
      I woke up the following morning with the sun shining in threw our bedroom window. Normally I would love waking up to the bright natural light that we got from the large floor to ceiling windows, but this morning I was annoyed with it's presence as I just want a lie in after yesterday's exciting events.
  At that thought I couldn't help but let out a small smile, as I turned over to snuggle into Charlie's warm embrace. Even through the sun was out, the chill for this time of year was starting to creep into the castle.
  As I rolled over expecting to be meet with Charlie's firm chest I couldn't help but let out a grown in annoyance at the missing presence of my fiancé.
  "Charlie?" I called out, the annoyance clear in my voice.
  "I'm right here love" he called back.
Slowly opening my eyes for the first time that morning, I looked towards where I could hear Charlie muttering to himself. He was sat at the desk we had decided on adding to our room so that I could do homework if I didn't feel like doing it in our shared common space with our friends or if Charlie need to finish grading homework assignments.
"Char, what on earth are you doing up this early? I thought we could have lie in today and just catch up" I whined.
"I'm sorry love, I've been up since 5 this morning, well all night really but I couldn't sit in bed any longer. I couldn't stop thinking about how we're going to track down Nick."
"Chaaaarlie, we have plenty of time to figure out how we're going to find Nick. Right now I just want to snuggle in bed with you while we talk with one another." I pleaded.
"Please just come back to bed for a little while longer, for me" I asked while giving him the best puppy dog eyes I could muster.
I could see the struggle in his eyes for half a second as he weighed his options, but a smile broke out on his face as he let out a small laugh and made his way back over to the bed.
"Today we can have our lie in, but tomorrow it's straight to work in coming up with a plan to throw Nick in Azkaban where he belongs."
"Tomorrow I promise you can go back to plotting your revenge, but we've missed out on so much time together I don't want to spend any more time apart."
"I'm never letting you out of my sight again Laur, I'm lucky you found your way back to me love."
"I'll always find my way back to you Charlie Weasley."
Then we both drifted back off to sleep, contently wrapped up in each others arms.
