Are You Ready?

Are You Ready?

Charlie Weasley x Reader

Plot: Charlie leaves Hogwarts and you’re left behind to finish your 7th year. While he’s in Romania, the two of you write back and forth. 

Warnings: just fluff :’)

‘Tap tap tap’

Lifting your eyes from your potions assignment, you see an owl perched on the windowsill near your bed. You pick yourself up to open the window, take the letter from the tawny bird, and give it a treat to say thank you. The first thing you notice is Charlie’s neat handwriting across the front of the letter, the second being the faint scent of smoke emanating from the paper. You smile to yourself and carefully tear into the parchment. 

My dearest (Y/N),

My days seem to last forever without you in them. I miss you more than you could imagine- more than a cool breeze on a hot summer’s day, more than the desert misses rain, more than...someone who misses something a lot. 

Sorry, I ran out of poetic things to say.

Anyways, I truly do miss you more than I could ever describe. As amazing as it is being around dragons and following my dreams, I love you almost as much as I love these wonderful creatures and I find myself wanting to hold you, and kiss you, and hear your beautiful laugh again. It’s definitely a good thing that we’ll get to see each other in a few weeks for Christmas at the Burrow; I don’t think I could go another month without you. See you soon, darling.

All my love, 

Charlie

You couldn’t stop the tears that fell from your eyes. Charlie had been away in Romania for months now as you stayed behind to finish your 7th year at Hogwarts, and you missed him more than you’d ever tell your friends. As supportive and understanding as they were, you knew they’d tease you about it. 

After reading through the letter a few more times, you picked up your quill and moved your homework to the side to write back to your dragon-loving boyfriend.

Charlie, my love,

As much as I love your so-called poetry, I miss your smile even more. And all your cute little freckles. I’m beyond excited to see you again soon, and even more excited that I get to spend another Christmas with you and your family. Even Fred and George, the little rats.

Merlin, I can’t even describe how ready I am to see you again. Reading your letter alone made me cry, so expect tears the second I see you, love.

Here’s to hoping these next few weeks go by as quickly as possible.

Forever yours,

(Y/N)

After making sure Charlie’s owl was well rested and fed, you tied your letter to it and sent it on its way back to Romania.

Three weeks later, you step off of the Hogwarts Express, ready to finally see your boyfriend after what felt like years. You searched the crowd, and the second you spotted that familiar red hair, you took off running and jumped into his strong arms. 

“I’m so happy to see you, you have no idea,” you giggled as he lifted you from the ground and spun you around a few times. 

“Believe me, love, I have an idea. Because I missed you just as much...or maybe even more,” Charlie smiled. His hands cupped your face as he pulled you into a slow, passionate kiss, feeling all the emotions coming through. You both could feel how much you’d missed each other. 

“Well,” you said, pulling away and grabbing your trunk. “Ready to head off to the Burrow?”

“Ready, darling.”
