ROMANIA: You haven't seen me crazy yet -- TBD

My little sister and Harry -- who was now apparently her boyfriend? I had heard all about it from the siblings -- had come to visit.  The week had been going well thus far, but I almost felt as if something was iffy today.  I was not sure why exactly, but just a feeling I had.  Perhaps it was due to the fact that they called me into work and I had to go in for a couple of hours leaving two teenagers alone in my flat.  I was not sure if I liked that, but there was nothing I could do about it.  I looked at Ginny and smiled.  "Again... I'm sorry that I have to leave for work.  You guys could always come and I could show you some of our dragons and stuff," I suggested, liking that idea a lot better.

Smiling I was happy to go along with Ginny to visit Charlie after a long and I mean long conversation about how I needed to go away. Ron surprisingly agreed although he said something about feeding mme to the wolves. Whatever that had meant. Shrugging I went along with it. " Either way I'll go or stay." I said trying to pick the safest answer for both parties.

I crossed my arms and looked at Ginny.  "I'll only be a couple of hours, behave," I said, figuring that I could b ea cool big brother and let them be alone for a little bit.  I just hoped I owuldn't regret it.  "And Mum is to never know I left you two alone, either," I added, smiling at Harry and giving Ginny a wink.

Grinning, " Okay, we'll see you later Charlie!" I said as I laughed as he finished. " We'll behave." I told him as I nodded my head. " Mum will never know." I added with emphasis, did he think I as nuts?! As he gathered his things I decided we could see what he has to eat. " Hungry?"

I donned my leather protective jacket and had left for work.  I was a wee bit concerne,d but knew that Ginny had a good head on her shoulders.  I showed my ID at the gate to the reservation and the guard looked frazzled.  I smiled and didn't think much of it.  It was Larry... he always looked frazzled.  I wondered how long he would last here... I shook my head and went back and saw some of my best mates looking as frazzled as Larry and they always kept their cool.  You had to when it came down to dragon keeping.  "Oi!  What's going on?  I didn't know I'd be walking into a panic!" I shouted above the din.  They did not mention anything about panic when they sent word for me to come into work-- they practically begged me to come.

I finally walked up to Alec and he told me what was going on.  A Death Eater stole one of our dragons?!  What the bloody hell?  I did not enjoy the sounds of that at all.  "Guys... my little sister is here -- which is why I took the week off, by the way -- I have to go make sure she's alright.  I don't like the sound of a dragon being in a Death Eater's hands," I said, surprisingly keeping my calm while everyone else was freaking out.  They all argued with me for a moment and I realized they probably wanted me to come in to help calm everyone else down.  Apparently I was the only person to keep a level head in crazy and unheard of situations like this.

We had started cooking, and I had been getting a feeling that something was just off. I wasn't sure what was. It was just throwing me off. Rumbling had started, I walked over to the window as I saw something very large in the sky that was heading towards Charlie's flat. " Ginny!" I said quickly. " Get down!"

They all continued to try to get me to stay.  I could not be the only one with a level head right now!  And I was losing my cool with all of my best mates.  I sighed.  I wanted to make sure that my sister and Harry were alright.  I started barking out orders for them all to listen to.  "Now, if you don't mind, my baby sister is at my flat.  I need to go," I yelled, getting angry.  I just had that bad feeling in my gut and I had to go investigate it.  I had this feeling all morning and yet now it worsened.  I had no idea what was going on... who knew why the Death Eaters would have stolen a dragon?  It could not be due to the fact that they wanted to attack a little girl and her boyfriend.... but the fact that the boyfriend was Harry Potter, I could not help but be extremely worried.  I just did not tell the guys that; I did not need to catch hell from them and I did not need them to jump to any conclusions either.

I looked over to Harry, " Why?" I asked him looking to the window and I saw why. " Harry DUCK!" I shouted, as the dragon headed straight for Bill's flat. " Harry!" I shouted as he came running towards me. He jumped into me, and we crashed to the ground as the dragon spat fire and crashed into Bill's flat. We stayed still for the moment, I looked over Harry's shoulder, somehow the death eaters were controlling a Norwegian Ridgeback. My eyes froze as the death eaters came off of the dragon as it seemed to be freezing over. They turned the dragon into an ice cube. " Harry! Let's go!" I shouted as we jumped up as the spells than started coming to us. " We have to get out of here!"

They tried to keep me, but when they saw the look on my face, they knew better to disagree with me.  Apparently I had crazy eyes or something.  They let me leave and I had to get home to check on the kids.  I was panicking... if something happened to Harry while he was here, I would never forgive myself.  If something happened to Ginny... I would hunt them all down and make them feel the pain I would be feeling.  I don't know what I would do without my little sister and I wasn't planning on finding out.  And Merlin help anyone who stood in my way of protecting her.

I saw my wand over by the cereal, great. I looked at Ginny, she knew I wouldn't let anything happen if it was the last thing I'd do. I saw one coming over to us he had his wand flourished and said something about stealing Harry Potter's little girlfriend. Not happening. I needed to draw the attention away from Ginny, I squeezed her hand before I stood up abruptly and started yelling as they looked to me. Good, now where's my wand..... I saw it again just over as it was about the fall on the floor I rushed over to the shelf grabbed it as a spell sent me flying back into the wall hard.

I reached where my flat was and saw that the building was in shambles... and I saw people panicking and running.  I saw no flaming red hair... Ginny had to still be inside.  The dragon was almost level with where my flat normally would have been.  This was not good.  I was one of the few who was running into the fray rather than away.  I passed someone who looked to be about the same age as Ginny and Harry who lived a floor or two below me.  I stopped for a moment and ushered them towards safety.  I could not let them get hurt if I had a chance to help it.  I gripped my wand and ran up the stairs knowing that the Ministry here in Romania was going to have a hell of a time covering this up.  And I knew that our reservation would be hell to be working in for the weeks to come about this.

"Git.." I said quickly as I started sending curses out to the deatheaters. Someone had to help us. Harry couldn't get hurt because he was protecting me. I was going to help him out too. " Harry WATCH OUT!!" I screamed as one was a foot away from him. I sent him flying out the window. I took some deep breaths as the attention was drawn on both of us. I took off running around Charlie's flat. I ran and slid under the table as one tripped while the other slammed me out of the flat and I flew out the door and down a flight of stairs. Gaining my pains and strengths I got up as fast as I could muster. I had a few cuts and scrapes as I ran back into the battle as I saw Harry backed up. " Stupefy!" I shouted. " Harry!" I had to get to him. I just did.

I heard Ginny's dulcet tones as I made it to my flat.  A little relief flooded me, but I knew that we were not in the clear at all.  I burst in and only had a chance to do a quick recon.  I had no idea where either one of hem were, I had just heard Ginny.  I shot curses at the closest Death Eater.  I had to find them... then I could get them out of here.  "Gin!  Harry!" I called out, diving behind what was left of my couch as a curse flew inches from my face.  "Son of a bitch," I muttered, shooting another curse from my hiding spot.  I looked around and saw Harry.  I rushed over to him and was glad that I was with one of them.  I shot a couple of more curses.  "Stay close to me," I told him.

I was sent flying across the room hitting the wall. Slamming against it, landing on the ground with an oomph. Looked up to see my brother, he looked quite terrifying. " Charlie!" I said with a grin. " Glad you're back. "

I was so glad that Ginny got thrown pretty much into me.  I lifted her to her feet.  "The two of you go, now.  I'll handle them," I said darkly.  More or less I did not want Ginny to see me like this.  I was the happy-go-lucky kind of guy.  Nothing ever got to me.  Unless it was someone trying to kill my sister.  That was not going to happen.
