Charlie/Ginny - at the ball

[uu_ginny]

*slips out on to one of the balconies, feeling the need for some air* *smiles when she catches sight of Charlie leaning against the stone parapet* *makes her way through the other masked ball goers mingling about to sidle up next to him*

Got a light?

Oh, sure. *draws his wand, a light flame slipping from the tip as he turns toward the witch's voice, firstly noticing she has no cigarette and secondly, it's Ginny*

*gives her a once over, her hair obviously charmed darker and in the dim light of the balcony, it looked stunning, making Charlie realise for not the first time that she was no longer a child* *blows the flame out, grinning at her* *slides his arm around her, giving her a tight hug* Gwen sees us together she'll have my arse for sure.

*snuggles up against him for a few moments, inhaling his woodsy scent which will always and forever be associated with Charlie for her before pulling back a bit to grin up at him* Better not let her see us, then. I need both my arms as starting Chaser.

[uu_charlie]

Yes, you do. Very important for quaffle management. *grins* *barely resists ruffling her hair be knows she's spent some time on it and she looked beautiful*

*looks around behind her, curious* Who is your escort, Gin? Come stag?

[uu_ginny]

*laughs* Very necessary for other things as well.

*smiles as he glances round behind her* Haven’t one. *looks slightly sheepish* I, uh, snuck in with Harry.

[uu_charlie]

*turns his head, cringing but he grins* Oi, I don't think I want to hear more of this.

*nods, not phased by that, Ginny always had been resourceful* How'd that go? You two getting along?

[uu_ginny]

*rolls her eyes at him good-naturedly* You always were a bit of a pervert, Charlie. *hits him lightly on his upper arm* I just meant things other than that related to Quidditch. You know, eating, school work, giving certain older brothers dragon burns. *mimics rubbing her hands in opposite directions along his forearm* Things of that nature.

*shrugs* As well as can be expected. We both made it into the party in one piece, didn’t we? *smiles somewhat wryly* And the answer to that is yes, by the way. *shrugs again at his second question* About the same, I guess.

*thinks that maybe things might be better between she and Harry after tonight* *eventually*

[uu_charlie]

*gives her a mock, sheepish gasp* I am not a perv! Ask Gwen. *grins* Alright, better not ask Gwen. *winks at Ginny* *backs away with her threatening gesture*

*looks her over* It seems that way. All in one piece and you still are the prettiest witch here. *curiously* So, he gets you in the door but won't keep you on the dance floor? *grins, reaching out for her hand* C'mon. Come entertain me.

[uu_ginny]

*laughs at his behaviour* Thank you, I think I’ll pass. I’m trying to keep my arms, remember?

*feels herself blush at his compliment* Something like that. *is surprised when he takes her hand* Entertain you? *grins as he pulls her across the balcony back toward the party* Am I to juggle chocolate parfaits for your amusement then?

[uu_charlie]

Oh, right. *scratches absently at his beard*

*looks down at her with a warm, playful smile* *he guessed at that moment they both recalled the twins and a similar event over the kitchen table at the Burrow with cream and fruit ending up everywhere* Figure out how to pull that off did you? *edges closer to the dance floor, getting into position rather obviously* Tell me you won't dance with your big brother?

[uu_ginny]

*smiles warmly at the memory* Might’ve.

*lets out a laugh as Charlie stands just off the dance floor, holding his arms at the ready* I won’t dance with my big brother. *steps up to him, placing her hands into each of his* Only I will. *smiles brightly* Thank you, Charlie.

[uu_charlie]

Tease. *grins* Are you like this with all the boys? *winks, not expecting an answer* *starts their dance, his warm eyes all for Gin* 'welcome, Ginny.
