Chapter fifteen
Bill and Fleur slowly stopped kissing, Ginny and Seamus were next, 'Seems Harry and Charlie aren't going to stop,' Ginny giggled.
Charlie and Harry slowly released each other's lips, 'That was some kiss baby,' Charlie grinned as he slowly lifted Harry back up until they were facing everyone again.
'Yeah, it was,' Harry smiled then Charlie gave him another kiss, but a small tender one this time. They both he noticed Ron and Hermione weren't there anymore, 'Seems we upset them.'
'Don't let them upset you Harry, you and Charlie are meant to be together, we can all see that,' Molly said.
'I'm not, like I said to Charlie, I've done stuff for others all my life, now it's time to do what I want and I want Charlie, he wants me. So if we want to snog in front of anyone we will, no matter what anyone has to say.'
'That's right,' Charlie kissed Harry again then waited until Harry sat beside him, 'So you and Angelina, George?'
'We've just started dating; she's helping at the shop for a while.'
'Then you should have brought her George,' Molly smiled at her son then started to float all the food onto the table.
'What about you Percy, seeing anyone?' Bill asked.
'I've become friendly with this girl I met at the office.'
'Become friendly, knowing Percy that means they've talked, but nothing else,' Charlie smirked at his brother, 'Get with the snogging brother.'
'We're getting to know each other Charlie, not like you and Harry who were all over each other straight away.'
'Actually I went a bit too fast for Harry; he wasn't sure how to handle me. I found him passed out drunk on the floor the following morning.'
'What do you mean he didn't know how to handle you, he seems fine now,' George said.
'I am, but we went out together, the first time and he was just so full on. I didn't know what to do or say. I was still getting used to knowing I was gay and I had this big bloke all over me, hands everywhere, I panicked,' Harry shrugged.
'I was so used to seeing Harry so confident, older, more experienced that I forgot that he actually didn't have any life experience, especially with relationships or sex. I realised I was pushing too hard to fast. So I went the next morning to talk to Harry, which we did and I said we'd take it slow, no sex.'
'I had Charlie so shocked I wasn't sure he'd ever talk again,' Harry smirked.
'Okay, you have to tell us why.' George said.
'He said no sex until I was ready. I said okay but wasn't sure how long that might be. A week, a month, six months or even a year,' Harry chuckled, 'He thought I was serious that I might take up to a year.'
'Oh I wish someone had taken a picture of Charlie's face,' Bill chuckled, 'I would have loved to see how he looked.'
'Shocked, pale, completely stunned into silence and Harry's face was serious. It took a good couple of minutes before he finally laughed, that's when I realised he was winding me up.'
'It was worth it though love. After what you put me through the night before, I had to get you back for that.'
'Eat, all of you,' Molly shook her head in amusement at her family.
'I would like to say something,' Ron said as he stepped back into the kitchen with Hermione.
'Go ahead Ron,' Arthur said.
'We want Harry and Charlie to stop this or our friendship is over, and being brothers is over.'
'Then goodbye old friend, I love Charlie and I am not giving him up for anyone, not you, no one. Let me say something first though. Tell Hermione you can never see her again.'
'What, no, why would you ask Ron to say that?' Hermione asked.
'He asked me the same thing, don't you see. You want me to give up the man I love, then you give up the woman you love, it's the same thing. But I will never give up Charlie, not for anyone. This is how serious I am about Charlie, if I could have Sirius back but I had to give Charlie up, I wouldn't. Charlie means the world to me, he is everything to me, he is part of me, he owns my heart and soul. I love him more than I have ever loved anyone and no one, not you, not even the return of Voldemort will stop me loving him,' Harry sat back on Charlie's lap and wrapped his arms around him, 'He is my life, my whole life,' Harry turned to Charlie, 'I want to have his kids.'
Oh my god,' Charlie sat there completely stunned, 'What you said, everything you said, Harry,' Charlie felt a lump form in his throat, he swallowed, but couldn't seem to find the words, so he held Harry to him.
'Oh baby, please don't cry,' Harry felt Charlie's tears on his neck, 'We belong together, forever love.'
'I think I'll say this as head of the family, Ron, Hermione you are not welcome here. I suggest you go pack and find somewhere else to live. This family don't want you, not with the way you are behaving, not with what you told Harry and Charlie to do. It is not right, nothing about either of you is right. Now that's all that is going to be said, so please leave so the family can enjoy our time together,' Arthur said coldly.
'This is my home,' Ron gaped at his father.
'Not anymore.'
'You're choosing them over me who's normal and their completely abnormal and wrong?'
'Yes because Charlie and Harry's love is beautiful, there is nothing abnormal or wrong about them. Both of you are so bigoted, prejudice, something I can't believe of either of you. So either you accept them for the love they have for each other or leave, now,' Arthur stood up but so did everyone else, 'Charlie and Harry's love is special, it's pure, it's more real, more beautiful and more magical than anything, including you, now leave.'
Everyone watched as Ron and Hermione hurried up the stairs, but they all kept staring until they both walked down the stairs, each carrying a bag. Then everyone turned their backs on them and never turned around until they heard the door.
'Now, let's get back to our dinner and wonderful company,' Arthur nodded to Charlie and Harry who were still holding each other.
Harry and Charlie stared into each other's eyes, those eyes, those looks told each other everything that was needed. They loved each other and would always be there for each other, no matter what or who, nothing will ever come between them or their love. They sat there feeling the magic of their love, exactly like Albus Dumbledore said, love is the most powerful magic there was and everyone around the table could see just how powerful Charlie and Harry's love was.
