Chapter 4: Broken Hell
After they got on the train & to their compartment, Charlie sat next to the windows. He stared out the window, ignoring his parents, & trying to think about anything except the situation @ hand.
Mrs. Weasley was very concerned about her son. She just wanted to hug him until everything was all better, but knew her husband was right”: they needed to deal with this reasonably & not do anything irrational.
Mr. Weasley just looked @ his son sadly. He wasn’t exactly sure how to go about helping his son get through this heartache. He had always known that Bill & Charlie had a close relationship; he just never knew how close.
They both decided not to push any more girls onto Charlie, & to not talk to Bill about who he was dating unless he brought it up first. Both of them knew that they needed to talk to Bill, but Charlie’s state of mind & health came first.
***
@ the same time, Bill was just arriving @ Grimmauld Place. He had planned to meet his parents there & then they would make their way to the Burrow. So it came as quite a shock when he entered the kitchen @ Grimmauld Place only to find his youngest brother, Ron, & his only sister, Ginny, without his parents.
“Where are Mum & Dad?” Bill asked Ron & Ginny.
“They want to see Charlie. He’s refused to talk to anybody & he hasn’t been going to work. Mum & Dad got a letter from his friends & co-workers. They left a couple days ago. We don’t know how long they’re be gone for,” Ginny told Bill.
“Oh. Do they know what’s wrong with him?” Bill questioned.
“No, that’s why they left, to find out what’s wrong,” Ron said obviously annoyed with the question.
“Did they forget I was coming to spend a month here for vacation?” Bill asked.
“Oh. That’s right. I’m sorry with everything that’s happened with Charlie, everybody forgot,” Ginny said.
“Okay. That’s all right. I understand. I’ll stay here with you guys until they get back. Sound all right to you guys?” Bill said thoughtfully.
With nods coming from all around, Bill sat down & Remus served him some lunch.
***
“Come on, Charlie. I promise nothing bad will happen. There’s nothing wrong with coming home for a break,” Mr. Weasley told his son.
They walked through the front door of Grimmauld Place, being quiet as so not to disturb Mrs. Black’s portrait. They heard voices coming from the kitchen, so they headed that way.
“Oh, Bill. I had forgotten that you were coming home for a vacation. You’ll be here for a month right.” Bill nodded to his father. “I’m sorry about forgetting. I’m sure…” Mr. Weasley never got a chance to finish his sentence as he heard a strangled cry & the sounds of footsteps going up the stairs & Mrs. Black screaming.
Mrs. Weasley ran up the stairs after her second son. It took her a couple minutes to locate Charlie. He was in the library on a couch, crying his eyes out. She didn’t say anything. She just sat next to him & wrapped her arms around him. Charlie cried into his mother’s shoulder, just letting it all out.
Neither of them had expected to see Bill today. Charlie wasn’t sure what to do. He didn’t want to be @ home, if Bill was also going to be there. Mrs. Weasley wasn’t sure how they were going to get through this next month without hurting either of her sons.
***
“Bill, we need to talk privately. Now!” Mr. Weasley said, barely keeping his temper in check. Mr. Weasley wasn’t sure that it was a good idea that his first son stay with them for the next month.
“Okay, let’s go into the den,” Bill said timidly.
Mr. Weasley secured the door to the den, before turning around to face his oldest son, “Bill, I’m not sure if it’s a good idea for you to stay @ the Burrow.”
“Why not? I haven’t done anything wrong,” Bill interjected.
“Bill…you’ve broken your brother. He doesn’t live anymore. He hasn’t been eating or doing anything to take care of himself. We know, both me & your mother, that you two have been in a…intimate…relationship,” Mr. Weasley didn’t get a chance to finish whatever else he was going to say before Bill jumped to his feet & started shouting.
“Charlie & me are brothers & nothing more. I would never have a sexual relationship with one of my brothers. That’s incest. You can’t keep me away from the Burrow just because Charlie is having delusions about us having a sexual relationship. You don’t even bother to ask me about what Charlie says; you just assume he’s right. I’m going to the Burrow. I’ll be there for a month. I’m not going to change my plans just because Charlie is having issues,” Bill shouted @ his father before walking out the door & slamming it behind it.
“This is going to be harder than I thought,” Arthur said to the empty room.
“Is everything okay, Arthur?” came a voice from the doorway that Bill had just left through.
Arthur was startled & stood & turned around, “Hey Remus. You startled me. How much of that did you hear?”
“Enough. Okay, all of it. So Bill & Charlie? I knew they were close, but that close? I never had the slightest clue,” Remus said.
Arthur sank back down into the chair that he had just vacated, “Neither did Molly & me. I’m surprised that Molly hasn’t flown off the handle, but maybe that’s because she wants to be strong for Charlie. He’s taking this really hard. I can’t believe that Bill just denied everything like that. He’s not just denying it to me; he’s also denying it to himself. I don’t know what to do anymore. Let’s talk about something else. What’s going on with you & George? You two have been spending a lot of time together lately.”
Remus blushed as he answered, “I…I…George wants to take me on a date. I’m not sure about it. I’m too old for him. I’m a werewolf. I’m his former professor. I’m…”
“You’re just perfect for me. I’m not asking for a long-term commitment, @ least not yet. Please, just one date,” George pouted, as he situated himself on Remus’ lap.
“George…” Remus didn’t get further than that as his mouth now had another mouth covering his. Arthur smiled, then shock his head @ his son’s antics. Arthur got up & left the room to find Charlie & Molly.
