chapter twenty-five : Bubble-Head Charm

☆ ☆ ☆

When midnight arrived, June's feet hurt like hell. She had pulled off her shoes somewhere between eleven and eleven thirty, and was now dancing on her bare feet. Charlie had loosened his tie and unbuttoned his top three buttons. June didn't mind, though, it gave her a clear view of his muscled upper body.

When the Weird Sisters played their last tune of the evening, applause filled the Hall. June turned to Charlie, who's cheeks were burning up from all the dancing.

"How long will you stay?" she asked him.

"I'll be leaving soon," Charlie said, the smile fading off his face. "But I'll come back for the second task."

June smiled slightly. "You better."

He leaned towards her and pressed a soft kiss on her lips. "I had an amazing time," he whispered.

"Me too," she hummed, slinging her arms around his neck. "Thank you for coming."

"Anything for you."

Juniper smiled and looked up at him. His blue eyes were shining brightly as he looked down at her.

"You look absolutely stunning, June," he said, his eyes trailing down her dress. "Navy blue is really your color."

June grinned. "Thanks, I try."

Charlie rolled his eyes. "Shouldn't have expected any other reply from you."

June laughed, but that quickly ended when she saw Hermione sitting on the stairs, her cheeks stained with tears.

"I'll be right back," Juniper said, hurrying towards the crying girl. "Hermione?"

She looked up while trying to wipe her tears off. June sat down next to her.

"Are you all right?"

For a moment, June thought she would lie and saw yes, but then, she let out a sob and started crying again.

"No," she sobbed, tears forming once again in her eyes. "I'm not."

"Do you want to talk about it?" June asked, carefully placing her arm around the girl's shoulders.

"It's Ron," she said quietly.

Juniper hummed. "I see."

"D'you think he likes me like that?" Hermione asked so quietly that June had to lean in to catch it.

Juniper stayed silent for a moment, pondering of what she should reply.

"I think he does, but he doesn't quite know it yet," June eventually said.

Hermione looked at her. "You think?"

"I'll talk to Harry about it," June said. "He knows Ron the best. Although I'm not sure he could give me a straight answer. He's quite obvious."
