Harry Potter One Shots

Harry Potter

     "Pass me the potatoes, will you?" Hermione's voice sounded and I smiled, passing her the plate.

     "So, how's work been?" Bill turned to me.

     "She's the biggest pain in the ass." Charlie joked and I rolled my eyes, but laughed anyway.

     "If Charlie'd hurry up and actually try to mentor me instead of finding excuses why I'm not allowed to see the dragons, it might actually be fun." I told Bill and caught the glare Mrs. Weasley sent Charlie, making me smirk.

     "Well, we're glad the two of you could make it for the wedding." Ron grinned at me and kissed Hermione's temple.

     "I wouldn't miss it for the world, even if I had to feed Charlie to a Hungarian Horntail." I joked and everyone chuckled.

     "I can't believe you actually moved to Romania." Ginny exclaimed and I chuckled.

     "As soon as I finish my work there, I'll be back at my boring office job at the Ministry right here in London." I told her and she grinned. I noticed her hand moving underneath the table and Dean's shoulders tense.

     "So when did you and Charlie start dating then?" George smirked and I nearly choked on my potatoes.

     "I'd never date Charlie, no offence." I winked at Charlie, who gave me a shocked look.

     "I'm offended, really." Charlie exclaimed and I shrugged.

     "Not everyone is stupid enough to fall for you, Charlie Weasley." I retorted and even Mrs. Weasley let out a chuckle.

     A baby started crying in the other room and Fleur excused herself from the table to go check on Victoire.

     "So you're not seeing anyone then?" Angelina asked, a wedding ring shining on her finger as well.

     "No, I figured being away to Romania wouldn't be very beneficial while in a relationship." I cleared my throat.

     "Unless you'd finally give in and date me." Charlie smirked and I chuckled.

     "Never gonna happen, Weasley, you're just not my type." Everyone laughed.

     When dinner was over, I helped Mrs. Weasley and the, by now all, wives. It was strange, seeing all my friends from Hogwarts tied down, except for Charlie of course, he'd never just settle down.

     "Thank you for helping dear, oh, I've missed having you around." Mrs. Weasley beamed at me and I pouted, hugging her.

     "I missed coming here, I was starting to scare myself into thinking you wouldn't want me around anymore." I admitted and she swatted my arm.

     "Don't be silly! You're like a daughter to me!" Mrs. Weasley scolded me and I smiled at her warmly.

     "Thanks mum."

     After my mum died in my fourth year at Hogwarts, Mrs. Weasley, being the mum of my best friends, took me under her wing. I don't know where I would've ended up if it wasn't for her. My dad had long abandoned me and mum, I doubt he even knows mum passed away.

     "Don't get all emotional on me now." Mrs. Weasley sniffed, seeing the sad look on my face. I got like this often and she always knew what I was thinking about.

     "Here, if you could set this on the table, that'd be lovely." She smiled at me, handing me leftover cake from the wedding yesterday and I nodded, taking it from her.

     I placed the cake down and set back down in my seat. I watched the scene around me. Bill and Fleur were smiling down at their newborn baby, while Ron and Hermione were still in their newlywed giggling phase, they'd leave for their honeymoon in a few days. Ginny and Dean had sneaked away, they'd only recently got engaged. George had turned into himself after losing Fred, he'd been a real mess. It was Angelina who helped him through it, no one else had succeeded. They'd gotten married last year. I even think I saw the beginning of a baby bump earlier. Percy and his wife, Penelope, had left again yesterday after the wedding, claiming they really couldn't stay any longer. Charlie was the only Weasley who hadn't settled down yet, and his mum was losing all hope for him. Truth is, Charlie didn't want to settle down, he joked around about dating and relationships, but besides the common fling he'd have at the reserve with some of the new trainees or healers, he'd stay as far away from commitment as possible. I'm sure that'd all change once he found someone who could actually keep him interested.
