Broken Smile

Broken Smile

There was two weeks left of the summer, most night’s Hermione would spend with Ron. They made love many more times after that night but sometimes they would just lay together talking about everything and anything.

On a warm August night Hermione and Ron lay on the grass in the back garden looking up at the stars. Hermione rested her head on Ron’s chest “For the first time in my life I wish summer would last longer” Hermione said wishful. Ron had his hand under her top tracing his finger in circles at the small of her back. “Yeah, this has been the best summer” Ron said kissed the top of her head.

Hermione looked at up at Ron “We better get to bed” she told him. “Can’t wait to get me back to bed, well I can’t blame you, I am a sex God” Ron said with a cocky look on his face. Hermione was half lying across his chest “You can be such a smug bastard at time you know that” she said poking his chest.

Ron took hold of her finger and placed a kiss at the tip “But you love me anyway” he said pulling Hermione on top of him. As Hermione saddled him she felt him grow hard “Your seemed to have awoken the beast” Ron said smiling. Hermione lent forward brushing her lips against his. “We can’t, not tonight, your mum wants us up early because Charlie’s coming home” Hermione reminded him.

Ron sat up with Hermione in his lap his chest pressed against hers “So, I can’t help it I’m horny” Ron said as his hands traveled up her top reaching her breasts and massage them. They starting kissing, his hands went under her bra feeling her erected nipples between his fingers, Hermione moaned and starting to rub herself against Ron hardness.

Ron broke their kiss “If you keep doing that I won’t be able to walk back into the house” he said trying to slow his breathing down. “Come on, let’s get you to bed before your mother see her baby boy isn’t so small anymore” Hermione said laughing lightly.

Mrs. Weasley was making a grand breakfast for everyone. Charlie should be arrived any minute. Mrs. Weasley was very excited because she hadn’t seen Charlie since last Christmas. “Breakfast everyone” she called.

Hermione was trying to get dress quickly. Everyone kept getting into the bathroom before her. She could hear the heard running down the stairs for breakfast, she hooked her bra and picked up the first clean piece of clothing that came to her hand.

Mrs. Weasley heard the front door open, she came running from the kitchen to see Bill, Charlie and her Husband coming in. “Oh there he is” Mrs. Weasley cried hugging Charlie in a bear like huge. “I missed you too mum” Charlie said hugging her back.

Harry, Ginny and Ron stood behind Mrs. Weasley waiting to greet Charlie. “You old tosser” Ron said hugging him and placing a kiss on his cheek.
“Ron, get off” Charlie said laughing. Harry was next saying, “I’m not going to kiss you, just a manly hug”. Charlie laughed “Good to see you Harry” Charlie said now lifting Ginny off the ground and kissing her cheek “How’s my baby sister?” he asked. “No complaints here” Ginny replied.

“Where’s Hermi…” Charlie stopped in mid-sentence at the sight before him. Hermione stood on the stairs watching everyone greet him. She smiled at Charlie warmly as he looked up at her. Charlie notice how her smile reached her eyes, she was happy.

Hermione came down the stairs Charlie couldn’t believe how much she had grown since Christmas. She had filled out in those few mouths. Her blue dress clung to her curvy hips, he could see her fuller breast moving as she came down the stairs, a plane silver toe ring court his eye as her long feet walked towards him. “Hi Charlie” Hermione said hugging him. Charlie’s throat went dry as her body pressed against his “It’s good to see you” Charlie said as she pulled back.

“Where are your shoes?” Mrs. Weasley asked Hermione. “I didn’t have time to put them on, I barely had time to put on a dress” Hermione explained. “We wouldn’t have minded” Harry said winking at Hermione. Ron slapped Harry to the back of his head “Eyes off my girl Potter” Ron said putting his arouaround Hermione. “I’m no mans property” Hermione said poking Ron in his chest, he court her hand and lent in close “That’s not what you said last night” he whispered. “Ron” Hermione whispered looked around to makes sure no one heard. Charlie was watching them he couldn’t help but feel jealous especially when Ron taped Hermione playfully on the bum.

***************************************************************************

Charlie had been home for a few days, enjoying spending time with his family. He felt as though Hermione had been avoiding him, they had a light conversation the other night but a part from that they had stayed clear from one another.

Charlie sat at the kitchen table with his father. Bill has his own flat not far from the twins so Charlie had no one around his own age to talk to.

“Charlie dear, would you wake the rest of them up for me, they think just because it’s the summer they can lay in bed all day” Mrs. Weasley said in a huff. “Sure mum” Charlie said headed to the stairs. He started at the top of the house.

Charlie opening Harry’s bedroom door, “Breakfast Harry” Charlie said receiving a ‘Mmm’. “If mum as to come all the way up here to wake you Harry forget about playing Quidditch all day” Charlie said shacking his head.

When Charlie opened Ron’s door, he sore his brother lying on his back with a big smile on his face, Ron must being having a great dream Charlie couldn’t help but think, if Charlie had Hermione as a girlfriend he’d have a big smile on his face too.

After Ginny through a pillow at Charlie’s head he made his way down to Hermione room. Not so long ago he stood out side her door preparing to apology about kissing her. Charlie still remembers how soft her lips were, how well they fitting together with his own and the way his entire body felt on fire as they kissed.

Charlie turned the handle opening the Hermione’s door wide “Charlie” Hermione yelled trying to cover herself, she stood in the middle of her room only wearing pink knickers, she tried to cover her breasts with her hands the best she could.

Charlie was rooted to the floor unable to move as he took in the sight of Hermione’s bare breasts before she covers them. “Charlie turn around” Hermione yelled at him again. “Er..er..oh..OH” Charlie said as he turned around. “I didn’t…I’m…” Charlie tried but his word failed him. “You didn’t knock, that’s what you didn’t do” Hermione said angrily. Charlie tried to control his breathing “I’m sorry, mum asked me to wake you for breakfast, I’m sorry” Charlie said feeling the male part of him react.

“Tell Molly I’ll be down in a minute and shut the door” Hermione said as her cheeks were still pink from embarrassment. “Sorry” Charlie said again before shutting the door. He stood with his hand still on handle remembering the full glow of her body.

By the time Charlie got back down the stairs Bill and the twin had arrived. Charlie walked into the kitchen looking daze. “Hey Charlie, you alright” Bill asked. “Yeah…fine” Charlie said sitting down.

Hermione come down a short while after “Bill” Hermione said kissing Bill on the cheek. “Hey what about us” Fred said taping his cheek. Hermione kissed both twins on the cheek and sat down to eat breakfast. Charlie kept his head down, he knew if he was to look at Hermione the image would come straight back to him, not sure if it ever left.

The others came down a little later. Ron sat beside Hermione “You alright?” Ron asked. “Yeah” Hermione answered as her eyes looked across at Charlie for a moment. “So, are you going to let me teach you to play Quidditch today?” Ron asked. Hermione looked annoyed at him “Ron I told you Quidditch is not my thing, you know I hate heights”, Hermione said feeling sorry for taking her angrier with Charlie out on Ron.


“I was only offering, its find” Ron said kissing Hermione’s cheek. “I’m sorry, I’m just in a mood” Hermione said as her eyes moved swiftly over to Charlie, Hermione turn back to Ron “Maybe you could take me for a fly later but no Quidditch” Hermione offered. “Flying and other stuff” Ron agreed playfully.

*****************************************************************************

An emergency order meeting had been called on Thursday evening. Hermione was sitting outside on the grass reading while Ron, Harry, Ginny and Charlie where playing Quidditch. Mrs. Weasley came out of the house looking very worried. Hermione closed her book and came over to Molly.

“Is every think ok?” Hermione asked starting to feel worried. “There as been an emergency order meeting being held tonight” Molly said waving her hand for the rest of them to come down. “What happened?” Hermione asked, as her throat became dry. “I’m not sure dear, we were told to bring Harry” Mrs. Weasley said.

The others come down and followed Mrs. Weasley back into the houses. Arthur had their bags packed and at the door. “Right, everyone sit down”, Mrs. Weasley said. Hermione sat on the edge of the armchair that Ron was sitting on.

“There has been an emergency order meeting called, Harry professor Dumbledore has asked for you to attend, only you” Mrs. Weasley said as her eyes flick across to her other children. “What?” Ginny and Ron said together. “Professor Dumbledore thinks it best for the rest of you kids to stay home” Mrs. Weasley firmly.

“Buts that’s not far, we should be able to come too” Ginny complained standing up. “Mum you can’t stop me from coming I’m seventeen-I’m not a child” Ron said. “I can stop you, I’m your mother and I think its best if you say here” Molly said looking to Arthur. “Tell him Arthur” Molly demanded.

“Molly, Ron is of age now but I would like the girls to stay here” Arthur said looking over at the girls. Ginny let out a frustrated hurl “So unfair” Ginny said sitting back down. Hermione sat very quietly, Molly had the same worried look on her face as she did the night Hermione’s parents died.

“Are you ok Hermione?” Arthur asked, Hermione gave a little nod. “Harry and Ron go up stairs and back a few things as quickly as you can” Arthur said receiving a nod from the young men. “Charlie I was wondering if you could stay with the girls? I don’t what them to be here alone” Arthur asked.

“Sure, no problem” Charlie said. “Why can’t we just come?” Ginny said annoyed. “Don’t start Ginny, you and Hermione will say here with Charlie, I don’t what to here another word about it” Mrs. Weasley said firmly while Ginny made a face.

Hermione sat very quickly listen to all that was being said. She knew something must be wrong if Dumbledore wanted Harry to come alone.
Later on that night Ginny had falling asleep on the sofa, Hermione sat out side looking out into the night’s sky. She felt a coat go around her shoulders, looking up the see Charlie smiling warmly at her. “Thought you would like some company”, Charlie said sitting next to her.

Hermione smiled at Charlie the best she could. “I know this is not the right time but I’m sorry about walking in on you the other day”, Charlie said regrettable. “It’s ok, it was an accident” Hermione said not looking at him.

Charlie touching Hermione’s hair and holding it back from her faces, Her eyes closed briefly “Charlie” Hermione said in a whisper as he started to caresses her hair “You’ll grown so beautify” Charlie said softly, he couldn’t help himself.

Hermione wanted to tell Charlie how grateful she was that he stayed behind, that he made her feels safe, even content but she couldn’t, she couldn’t speak a word. Hermione hoped that Charlie knew that his presents meant a lot to her. She wanted nothing more then to be in his arm, to be held.

It was as if Charlie had read her thoughts, he put his arms around Hermione pulling her to him, and she placed her head on his chest breathing in his ash smell, feeling his warm body against hers.

“Charlie…. I love Ron” Hermione said, she could feel Charlie tenses up at her words. “He’s my little brother I love him too, But I also love you” Charlie said kissing the top of her head. Hermione looked up into Charlie’s eyes “You meake ake a sister? Sometime Bill will kiss me good night or kiss before he goes home and he always says ‘I love you’, is that what you mean by love, sisterly love?” Hermione asked, her brown eyes held a hint of wonder.

Charlie became lost in Hermione eyes, his feelings were never sisterly towards her, at first he felt sorry for her, she had lost her parents. Charlie still remembers the lost look in Hermione’s eyes, now her eyes hold happiness, happiness that his younger brother inspired.

How could Charlie tell Hermione he had falling in love with her? How could he tell her their first kiss on new years was all he thought about, how could he tell her every time he kissed an another woman they never compared to her?

“No, not sisterly” Charlie admitted after a short silence, taking Hermione’s face in his large hands, his thumbs caressing her cheeks gently. “But I understand your in love with Ron, I’d never do anything to hurt my little brother-to hurt you” Charlie said watching her carefully.

“I love all you Weasley” Hermione said smiling, “Fred and George always make me laugh even when I’m in a mood, Ginny’s the sister I never had, “Bill’s the big brother I’ve always wanted and your parents….well I feel content enough to call them mum and dad” Hermione took a breather while she studied Charlie face.

“When my parents died I was lost…I was in my own world of self-pity-broken” Hermione said finding the strength not to cry. “And then you kissed me on new years, I remember every detail, how cold it was but how incredibly beautiful it was too, when we kissed I felt alive, you found my soul” Hermione said taking his hands in hers “But Ron has my heart”.

“I know” Charlie said unable to keep eye contact with the woman he loves any longer. “Charlie I’m flattered you have these feeling for me but I’m nothing special…. I’m bossy and terribly annoying at times”, Hermione said laughing lightly, “Ron and I….” “Are meant to be-written in the stars-I understand” Charlie said standing up, he turned his back on Hermione looking out into the night sky.

Harry and Ron returned from the order meeting two days later with the rest of the Weasley family. The young men did not say much of what went on or what was said, not even to Hermione.

Charlie went back to Romania a week before Hermione return to Hogwarts.
Before Charlie left he said to Hermione ‘I love you” but he failed to tell her if it was sisterly or old
fashion love.
