I do not own Harry Potter or any of the Potter-verse, nor, sadly, am I profiting from it.

Word to the wise, this story will progressively get explicit. It just hasn’t quite got there yet…

Thanks for the formatting heads up, I don’t have a clue as to what happen… and as it's still happening, and pissing me off, I can't easily correct it...so, I tried it manually, and DUDE what a pain in the ass...

Chapter 2 In For A Penny, In For A Pound

Charlie Weasley sat at his parents kitchen table nodding his head. Unsure of what his mother was actually saying, he felt the appropriate response was just to agree. After all, this technique he was actively employing had worked all throughout school when she went in to what he and his brother Bill affectionately called, “lecture mode”.

“Dammitt mother!”, Bill shouted, effectively shaking Charlie out of his non attentive state, “Do you not think that both Charlie and I have followed the process of this law much closer than anyone else in this family seeing that it only affects us directly?” Bill, his long red hair being pushed out of his face for the hundredth time in a matter of minutes, was pacing the small area in which him, his brother, his mother and his father occupied. “I’ll attend the Courting Balls, and I will even actively look for a wife, but I will not marry just anyone. And I’ll be damned if the Ministry will tell me who I will marry. Two years from now, if I haven’t met the woman I want to share my life with, well, let them snap my wand. I’ll live in Muggle London. ”

“Bill,” Molly cooed, “you don’t really mean that. You’re a handsome boy, you’ll find a wife and settle down and give me loads of grandchildren. ”

“Don’t count on it, mum,” stated Bill, as he turned and left the kitchen.

All eyes fell to Charlie, “Don’t start in on me,” Charlie said, “all I’m really after is a good time, and brother law commands that I keep my mouth shut about Bill’s indifference. If that’s all you two wanted with me, well, I need a drink and a smoke, maybe a good fist fight. ”

…..

Charlie took the stairs two at a time, “Bill, let’s go out. Think we’ve earned it, mate. ”

…..

Walking into the pub, Charlie headed straight for the bar, “Two pints, please. ” Pushing one to Bill, he took a long look at his brother, Bill was wounded. It had been four years, but for some reason, Bill hadn’t ever gotten over his 7th year crush on one Willow Scott, not that Charlie could blame him, the girl was fine. Even in school, she was able to bring boys thinking they were men to they’re knees. Charlie never knew what happen, one day everything seems to be going right, the next Bill said they broke up and not to mention her name to him again.

Like that was gonna actually happen… All it did was create curiosity among the Gryffindor boys. With a sigh, Charlie downed his pint and lifted the mug towards the bartender, “Two more!”, he shouted. “So, what the fuck are we gonna do?” he asked Bill.

“Get married, I guess. Doesn’t seem like we have a choice, unless we want to go to Azkaban, and I’m not real keen on that idea. ”

“You really ready for that? I mean, it’s been a while since you’ve been anything but a love ‘em and leave ‘em man. ”

Bill barked with laughter, “Me? Me? Really?”

“Hey,” said Charlie, gesturing towards himself, “I’m a whore, I know that. I really don’t want to be anything but a whore. You? You’re not the type. ”

“And what type am I?,” asked Bill. “How do you see me?”

Charlie took a long swig of his pint and lit a smoke while contemplating what he was going to say next. He could just lay it out there. He could delve into the unknown abyss that was…is Bill Weasley. Taking a long drag off his cigarette, he blew it out and jumped.

“You’re the type that finds a good woman and marries her. Has kids with her, buys a house with a fence and a dog. You go to work all day, pay the bills, keep your nose clean. You’re the type of man this law could benefit. Introducing you to women from all over the country, hell, all over the world. You know, at Hogwarts, I thought you’d met the one. Shit, we all did. It was a strong relationship, you two had. When you were together, the two of you only saw each other, when you were apart, well, you had a knack of keeping your friends while falling in love. We all thought you two would get married and then just like that it was over. What the fuck, man? What happen?”

“You know I don’t want to have this conversation,” said Bill. “I’ve avoided it for years and I would like to go one avoiding it.”

“You cant. It changed you, mate. She changed you. I’m your brother. Your closest friend and your most tight lipped confidant. You know you can tell me anything.”

“Charlie, it was puppy love. That’s all. The blinders came off and I realized that I was in over my head. You know all the shit that circulated that girl. It was a combination of the sex and the fact that every other boy wanted her and I got her. That’s all, the new wore off. ”

“You’re a liar,” Charlie stated directly into Bill’s eyes. Downing the remaining of his drink he added, “But I’ll let it go for now, only cause there is a really nice piece of ass on the other side of this bar that’s calling my name. Wanna tag, she looks as if she can handle the both of us?”

Turning to look where Charlie was headed, Bill sized up the woman staring at them. She took her finger and crooked it at them, inviting them over. She looked older, maybe 30, nice face, nice body from what he could tell, “Sure. Been a while since we knocked on the same door. ”

…..

The season’s first ball was close and both the Weasley boys decided it best to attend the Hogwarts function. Basically, they figured there was safety in numbers and since most the boys they went to school with still resided in or around Hogwarts, it was a safe bet.

The Weasleys had moved into Number 12 Grimmauld Place, which was acting as headquarters to the Order of the Phoenix and therefore, Bill and Charlie arrived at that location two days before the first Courting Ball in the Wizarding World since the late 1800’s. Neither was overly thrilled at being there, of course, circumstances as they were made most all the random occupants of the house nervous. Molly had fussed over the boys for the past 48 hours. New robes, new haircuts, new boots, Charlie had flat out refused to change anything about himself. Normally, he was easy going enough to allow his mother to just do whatever it was she wanted, but he was on edge and she wouldn’t allow him to smoke in the house.

Bill bought a new robe, but refused to even trim his hair, “Mum, it’s my hair and I like it. Whatever girl I choose will have to accept the fact that it’s this length and no, before you ask, I won’t lose the earring. ”

Dinner came and went with people arriving and talking about the bustle at Hogwarts, apparently the Ministry was going all out with the party, decorations, food, drink. Even opening the dorms up for people to spend the night so that no one had to look for lodging.

When it seemed no one was looking, Charlie snuck upstairs to turn in. Sleep, however, evaded him. Tomorrow was truly a new dawn.
