Complicated (Charlie Weasley x reader)

Chapter 21 You're only saying that to make me feel better.

Edited**

Today was the day! What day? The day you were going to the dragon reserve, of course!

You woke up earlier than usual just because you were so excited. Huh... since when did you feel excited? That doesn't really matter. You met up with Charlie, who also happened to wake up early for a change and went down for some breakfast.

Even though you were one of the first to arrive you were also one of the last to leave, as you spent most of breakfast just talking excitedly about what you were going to see. Would you meet any dragons? Would they let you try to approach them? Most likely not, but one could always hope, and hope was what Charlie did. Sometimes you couldn't understand him. It was as if something just had the word 'dragon' in it he would jump right to it. You remembered when the clubs had opened, and he had joined the Dragon club without even knowing what they did. You chuckled at the memory getting his attention.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing, continue what you were about to say." You smiled at him. He looked like he wanted to ask again but dropped it and continued. Normally you listened to what he said, but right now you couldn't catch a single word and got lost in your own thoughts again.

Charlie was truly brave, you thought to yourself. He would walk right up to the dragons without any advice at all, if he got the chance. You on the other hand would like to watch first, not really liking the thought of approaching a dragon you had no idea if would attack you or not. All dragons probably would or try to hurt you. You had seen some of the scars your grandmother had after her dragon-keeping days, and they weren't the prettiest sight.

You noticed that Charlie had stopped and was staring at you instead.

"What?" You came to your senses again.

"What?" Charlie, too, shook his head a little.

"You're staring at me." You said and gave him a half-smile.

"I did? Well, so were you." He looked away from you and seemed to be looking around the room, but you noticed a slight blush across his cheeks.

"I wasn't staring... I was... observing?" You, too looked away, getting a little embarrassed about the thought that you had been staring at him the whole time.

"Observing what? The way I open my mouth when I speak or something?" He chuckled and looked back at you.

"Noooo..." You didn't know a comeback to that and got quiet, then looked around the room again, avoiding his gaze. You then realised that you had to leave soon. Grabbing Charlie's hand you dragged him out of the great-hall to meet up with the other ones that was also going to the dragon-reserve.

*****

You turned out to be five students in all that were going to the reserve. It was you and Charlie, two Hufflepuff girls you had never spoken to and a Slytherin boy you'd also never spoken to. You weren't that many, but honestly took that as a good sign. You had heard that dragon-reserves usually didn't accept that many people each year, so knowing that there wasn't that many interested you felt relieved. You met up outside Dumbledore's office and waited for him to come and get you, as he was the one who had fixed your transportation.

You waited for about fifteen minutes and had now gotten to know one of the Hufflepuff girls, as she absolutely loved to talk. She had been quiet for maybe 30 seconds before she suddenly got bored of waiting and introduced herself to everyone. Her name being Constance Hammer, but she told you to just call her Connie. She had long blonde hair and big brown eyes also having a mole under the right one. She talked mostly about herself, and you and Charlie got to hear all about her future plans and her love for creatures. You, who were still working on being nicer to other people, surprisingly listened to everything she said for the whole fifteen minutes, until Dumbledore finally let you in. That didn't stop her from talking though and she told you that dragonologist was more of her second dream, while her true dream was to work with all kinds of creatures. When you finally got in the office was when she stopped talking, finally letting Dumbledore speak.
