2. Weekend in Romania
I
While Charlie was in England a couple of weeks, (helping wherever he could with the rebuilding of Hogwarts and accompanying, I'm his family) was not back to Tonks. His mind was not to discuss the fact that he was aware of that, but to stay for several seconds a day remembering her hair as black. I had never seen this color. For some reason, it made him think that Nym should be there, recreating Hogwarts, like many others who fought in the war because it was ... worried, as did the view that George ate ; aa reluctantly and through the efforts of his mother.
But that morning he found the suitcase in a park, looking for red jacketorange (daily Portkey Romania), Charlie realized that he was relieved to leave.
had often questioned whether the Sorting Hat really should have put him in Gryffindor house. Had come to believe that it appeared that someone with red hair and freckles put under him, going to that house.
Charlie had always questioned whether he was brave enough, and in that situation, she could only remember that old thorn in his heart. He knew that when things got tough, then &; Eacute; s that something was wrong and had to see people stand up, apologize, put things in place ... he tendíaa seek solitude. I could say I tried to wait until the situation calmed down, but I knew that for him was that he could not deal with it ... Looking for the snitch? "Taking away a mother dragon egg to see if its good growing fetus? That was nothing compared to what could be difficult for him to be simply and try to comfort a mother or a brother for the death of one of their own.
People thought he was jovial, friendly, a good copy of Weasley: loyal to his beliefs and friends. But Charlie knew that if he could talk to people, keep the jokes, being kind, fighting in the war which should not be appointed to save lives ... but really be with people with all that it could lead, like trying to be with their parents and siblings and make every attempt to see George and do not start thinking about Fred, that I could not do.
preferred to deal with animals, especially dragons. They were simple, you knew what to do when reacted in any way. With human, he had not developed that skill.
is why, for that disability and that he did not want cobardíaa could not fight, was the real reason was not more than four years in England , putting the work excuse knew that if I could somehow sneak it. At least there was a more frequent writer to his family. I knew that was not the same, but better than nothing.
Still, surprised to see people who do not understand some idioms ran out or they knew who the Chudley Cannons, if only to make fun of them ... maybe that's why, when she appeared in their forest, despite everything, he felt great joy.
was not sure when they had appeared on the scene. Never would have crossed his mind that going into that territory, wondering what had happened that roaring fire and take Norberta (literally), would meet a woman hair dark brown, straight up a broomstick and jumping into curses with another type, while circumventing the fire dragon fire and the roar of it was a telomereN his acting background. But
had known in advance that two magicians fought duels, both by sudden flashes of different colors in the sky, for the voices of two people saying the spell, Charlie had had a big surprise when he arrived with his broom flying to the scene and found the two contenders. So the first thing he felt was a great anger: What unconscious! "It thus appears out of nowhere, in the territory of a dragon!? The two had saved from a terrible attack just because Norberta was not far from the nest where her baby was just nabeginning to rise, eyes and mouth look at those things in heaven who had dared to get into
its territory.-
Petrificus Totalus! she exclaimed.
By the sound he heard, Charlie knew that once the spell had hit each other and, almost by instinct, he turned to where they were. Could see the man, subject to completely immobilized her broom and was going to start falling. The Weasley felt fear invaded his body while redirigíaa try to follow the guy and save his life ... in his mind, April & iacutee; to something very like a misunderstanding full of anxiety. One thing that was the feeling of what you might think as " Nym" was able to kill him!? . "
knew he could never do, that his attempt to reach it with a broom would be in vain but, while the cold wind was so strong that almost was cut the skin and made it difficult to keep your eyes open, tried to catch his wand (which was in a back pocket) and say a spell to save his life ...type & mdash; bullae Giga!
It was issued by a magic spell. Being blue and almost colorless, hit like a bolt on the floor and spread to about five feet around, as if a substance oval jelly and two meters deep. Charlie stopped its descent, feeling the relief you removed all traces of the adrenaline rush he had before.
The petrified man and his broom fell in that substance. That very significantly reduced the speed of his fall, while that kind of bubble moved with a gelatinous colloid movement, following the body deposited in thesoil. Then it disappeared, leaving the man completely wet and unharmed in the land ... of course, after Charlie managed to make Norberta would like to attack him, helping Nym and the man (because she used in it a spell to levitate on a par with his broom )
could get away quickly.Finally, Charlie was gone, ginning of the broom that is charred and enduring the pain of the flames on his shirt.
When he appeared in his cabin, he thought he was going to meet soon to Nym coming to light your home. There was nothingyears of meters away, the aurora was being surrounded by four men Malcarado, who had appeared with their brooms in the air, apparently looking for her.
-o-
Several hours later that same day, just as Charlie was preparing to cook something, a knock at the door brought him back to see to it.
As he lived in the woods with tall leafy trees surrounding it,
in a log cabintimber, away from everything and everyone, was very surprised they knew these beatings. For a moment, had the idea that it would Nym, but when he opened the door and was discarded. That's why he was surprised.She stared at him, apparently not knowing what to say. Unless he knew ...
-Charlie ... "seemed a little shy, but continued, with an amused smile: eh, I do not have time to say hello as he should do few hours: Hello.
"Hello," said & eacute, l, surprise and fun. Nym
increased smiling. Charlie thought he saw that his hair took on a reddish or orange color, but perhaps could be the evening light was behind her, to play with your perception.
And thanks for your help with the dragon ...
-Dragon. You're welcome. -Seconds of silence. Then he remembered the good ways, moved aside and said, "Want to go?
She gave a sigh of relief, pArecio to imply that she was tired to stoop for a moment and finally said with great sincerity:
"Yes, thanks.
and came hard.
As Charlie felt stupid for being an adult male who get nervous to give the entrance to his house to an acquaintance from years ago, and wondered if it would be something besides area that if it were rich food; Tonks looked at the room. Spacious, with two large sofas, a table, several animal skins as rugs and household decoracióny ended with two monthslow ites with various objects from the work of Charlie. A comfortable yellow light from the chandeliers lit up the living-dining-kitchen and in front, between two doors, what he wanted: the large fireplace.- Do not want ...
She, apparently without having heard it, turned around to face him. Energíay spoke with a smile that denoted some nervousness.
-Charlie, sorry to come here and continue incomodándote in this way, but you're the only person I know in time the Romanian Rumaníay let me out of his interrogations, and the branch Gringottswas closed y. ..
"Do not worry," was what he said simply.
The woman, who had begun to reveal in his speech what a very bad day had done with his humor, smiled and stepped toward him. For a moment he thought he abrazaríao Charlie something, but rather looked at as analyzing and said
- Go that you are still gentle, Charlie!
That did give a slight laugh.
"I have to keep prideaa my mother.
She looked at him funny and suddenly, he gave another little laugh of mockery.
"Yes, the next time I see her I will make a report to help the cause," continued the joke Tonks
"I would be very grateful ... -A pleasant silence and then remembered what he would say, "Want some tea ... whatever occurs to me to do?
"Yes thanks.
While he was walking toward the kitchen andtook out the wand of his pants, Tonks looked a little place. It was strangely warm. Although missed he needed to see the "feminine touch," gave the impression of shelter and warmth, also was ordered enough and very clean. Yes, she said, you saw that was home to Charlie. For some reason, had always felt good, confident, cheerful and welcoming, so it had been secretly in love with him at the time of Hogwarts Maso least from second to sixth year.
Tonks smiled and refused to s & iacute, same as if he felt affection for the girl from Hufflepuff who was.
course Charlie had no idea of his naive infatuation for him. Tonks did everything possible not to go so far as changing your hair color and shape of her features, to the amusement of Gryffindor, but with the real so that Charlie would not notice that, unless your hair color changed whenever he appeared in his vision interacted with her. Besides, did not do something with that feeling. Charlie was like a platonic love, his father would say, of those who do not want to touch for fear of losing the fantasy & iacute, a. With him was just happy to be around.
And it seemed that much of that girl of Hogwarts were still alive in it, because somehow, being in Charlie's house and feel his presence, she managed to quickly regain his good humor.
was going to sit in one of the chairs, totally invaded by the feeling of wellbeing, he remembered what he was doing there. No, I was seeing some kind of old love, was there because ... I had nothing else. Romanian Aurors, instead of cheers that she gave one of the witches m & amp; aacute; s wanted in Europe, came to look as if it were another criminal because, they said, had crossed the border illegally and made magic.
After all morning and afternoon had been in the barracks, repeating his story about five times and being poorly assisted by a diplomat, had finally let go. But not before threatening that he could not leave the territory or do magic, until everything was resolved.
Tonks, who barely understood the policy and had completely filled their patience after about seven hours as little hospitably treated;
TMLXC And so, recalling the address where he had gone to appear to pursue this witch, and where the police took her to fly, got into the broom and began the journey.
An hour later, he was seeing the great mountain, so close it looked like a sea of trees on one side, and the plain of tall grass on the other. He could see that in the midst of this, many "things" should be running back and forth, causing surprise and meandering channels between the sheets, with the sound of the frictionNo branches in constant motion. She was ordered to stop looking at this with curiosity, and walked to the place he had been looking for. He soon found the territory of the dragon, which at the time was sleeping peacefully next to her offspring.
Tonks felt a great desire to get home and hug your Teddy, and a desire to at least talk to him, maybe they were able to quickly orient the direction from which he had come to see Charlie in the morning. A few seconds later, he came upon a clearing where there was a small wooden house next to atubercles large garden. He went down to knock on the door, hoping that it was he who opened at least be someone that could give an account of his whereabouts.
But it was Ely, suddenly, the idea of being stuck in Romania seemed to become an experience of very bad luck, something like a funny story. However, scolded her, I had to do was to borrow the fireplace to talk with her mother and Teddy, his partner Frank Whitmore, a senior Auror who had left Ukraine, shouting that medimago not crazy behind, then tohis boss.
few seconds later, he had been watching the great fire burning, as if taking value for the scolding of her mother at work imbibe again. Later became the face of your child as young as four, trying to be brave and not to show that the news of his absence disillusioned. Continue with the crude indifference Whitmore, who thought it was because his partner had only one year in force and, therefore, was not concerned that excessive stubbornness pasióny in it, that put her in trouble at work, came to him. And finelment, be given new strength to see the boss. I thought that this time it's suspending for a while, though out the best in the department.
"Your tea. I do not know how you take it, so I brought you milk, honey, lemon, sugar ...
Tonks knew that her hair was changing to a warmer color, such turn red or orange. The heat in the chest similar to the relief and the desire to smile, always had that effect on your hair:
"Thanks, Charlie & mdash, And knew he did not understand that was just for tea.
He nodded and put the tray into the nearest coffee table, which did have room to put something. Then he sat down and, as he made a gesture with his hand to sit side by him, began to talk:-Dime - he said, totally serious: "You knew the shaken that gave us the Holyhead Harpies to the Chudley Cannons? Do not you think Ginny did not need to make four consecutive hits usin just 7 minutes? Tonks's smile was increasingly darker and opening, until it became a laugh while Charlie was saying, smiling at the same time, his eyes gleaming with fun, "I say, hoping for a bit more loyalty on their part ...
continued talking
everything and nothing, he happy to speak with a person of the same Paisy up to defend his team wanted someone who did have bases to make fun of it. And she, with her hair orange and pink was just fun and happy, forgetting between teas, delicious biscuits fresh from the h
