This is my first attempt at a one-shot!

Takes place about 2 years after the fall of Voldemort and well.. you just got to read it to find out the rest =]] I hope you enjoy reading it!

The Pull

Hermione walked down the creaking stairs rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She regretted not putting more clothes on but was too tired to care about being cold. Her boy shorts, tank top, tube socks and robe would have to keep her warm until after breakfast.

"Oh dear, I am glad you're awake. Arthur and I have to go to Bill's home for the afternoon, something to do with that wife of his. Not sure what it is this time, maybe another one of her schemes to get Bill all to herself. Or maybe she has finally decided to give up the ruse and wants out of the marriage to my baby boy. Oh… I am rambling. Yes, we are going to Bill's for a while and Charlie is due anytime now. Would you be a dear and direct him to Ron's old room?" I laughed a bit at her wordy self but nodded my head to give Molly her answer. Fleur was always doing something to upset Molly but I doubt she was trying to take Bill away from his family. They loved one another but Molly had a hard time seeing it. You could tell if you watched them closely, little hints here and there. It was the kind of love I hoped to find one day. The kind that is so complete that not even a crazed Molly could interfere with.

"Thank you dear. We are going to head out now; we should be back in time for me to whip something up for dinner." I watched her leave through the floo before I made my way to the kitchen. While making myself some scrambled eggs with cheese and ham I started to think about my life and how I ended up staying in Percy's old bedroom. After the fall of Voldemort, Ron and I soon realized that the kiss between us was that, just a kiss. We love each other but there was never any spark or pull. I spent the next year back at Hogwarts to finish my schooling while the boys went straight into their careers. Harry was working as an Auror but showed the potential to become the department head sometime in the next few years. Ron on the other hand dived into a Quidditch career with the chudley Cannons. They loved their jobs. Harry and Ginny finally got married last year and she had a little boy a few months ago. James Severus Potter is a perfect mix of both his parents. He has Gin's striking eyes, nose, and curly locks with Harry's hair color, nose and lips. I was made his Godmother and Severus is the godfather, much to Ron's chagrin. We each spoil him every chance we get. Ron started dating Dahlia, a woman he met while competing in America with his team. She is beautiful and enjoys many of the same things as Ron including Quidditch. They got engaged a couple months ago and the wedding would be in about two months. I am expecting more little red heads to be running around from them soon.

After I graduated from Hogwarts I started an apprenticeship with Professor Snape. He wanted to retire and focus on his potions business rather than teaching children and needed to find a replacement before that was possible. He approached me mid way through my final year to ask if I would like the position. I was completely shocked but accepted right away. We had a hard start but quickly found a good routine that worked for each of us and now I consider him to be among my close friends. There are days where we want to hex one another to bits but it happens less and less often as time goes by. I have a year left before I take full control of his position at the school. Since it is summer, I am staying at the Burrow to save myself some pounds in Gringotts.

I was finishing up my eggs when I heard a crack coming from the living room. I got up and called out a hello as I started to wash my plate. I turned to see Charlie walking into the room. I felt my body heat up. Charlie is definitely a gorgeous man.

"Hi Charlie, Your mom and dad had to go to Bill's again. Molly told me to tell you that you will be staying in Ron's old room." I put the clean plate into the cupboard and turned around fully to see Charlie staring at me with a small smirk. I looked down to see what he was smiling at and noticed my rob had come undone. 'Way to make a new impression, Hermione!' I thought to myself as I yanked my robe closed and tied the straps to keep it that way.

"Oh don't cover up on my behalf. I was enjoying the view." I could feel my cheeks burn as he finished his statement.

"Very funny, Charlie! Now I am sure you remember where Ron's room is. If you will excuse me I am going back to my room." I started to bolt towards the stairs before I was pulled into Charlie. I looked up and noticed how different he was compared to his brothers. His hair hung down in shaggy curls in a darker shade of red than any of his siblings had. He was a bit shorter than his brothers but still extremely tall compared to my small 5"2' frame. He had muscles that seemed to have muscles of their own. I could feel how sculpted his chest was on my back. I looked up and seen he had snake bite piercings on his lip and striking green eyes. I felt my breath catch in my throat when he leaned down. I felt his lips against my ear and immediately started blushing when I heard, "Don't be like that darlin', you are beautiful and should never be embarrassed about it." He slowly released me and started to head up the stairs.

I regained my bearings and started to head upstairs as well. My room was in the attic and it was a nice private room. I stripped out of my robe and headed to my closet to find something appropriate for the day. I was hoping to go read out by the lake so I chose a pair of jeans and a hoodie. I pulled off my tank top to put a bra on when my door opened.

I scrambled to cover myself when I heard Charlie say my name from the door.

"Charlie, you know you could knock first. I am trying to get dressed here!" I felt very exposed. I was having little success in covering myself when I noticed Charlie right in front of me holding a small package. He used his other hand to lift my chin so I was looking at him rather than the floor.

"I did not mean to walk in on you changing but I do not feel sorry about it. You are a sight to behold." He leaned his head down and brushed his lips with mine. I am not sure what came over me but the next thing I know I am running my fingers through his hair and pressing against him with the rest of my body. His kisses were sending waves of pleasure through my entire body and I whimpered. He took advantage of my open mouth and ran his tongue along mine. The tongue ring he had only helped to heighten the kiss. I had never in my life been kissed like this, much less let another male see me partially naked. I felt one of his hands on the back of my neck slowly make its way down my back until both hands were on my ass. He used his hold to lift me up and wrap my legs around his waist. I loved the sensations that his hands and mouth were leaving on me. My back was roughly pressed against the wall causing me to moan and one of his hands came up to my hair and pulled back slightly. At the same time his mouth detached from mine and made a trail across my neck. I felt him nip at my pulse point which caused me to rub my center against him. I could feel the tension in my lower belly. It was an amazing feeling.

A part of me knew we should stop but I could not get the other half of me to agree enough to voice the words. I started to unbutton his robes and then his shirt. I started to get frustrated at all the buttons. Charlie walked us over to my bed and laid me down on it. He pulled his shirt off and unbuttoned his pants. He started to take them down but I pushed his hands away. I grabbed a hold of his pants and slowly brought them down. Determined to not lose my confidence in my actions.

"Commando huh!" I laughed as I took his pants down law enough for him to step out of them.

"Don't like the feel of em" was all he said as he climbed on top of me in my bed. I suddenly got very nervous and scared. Charlie must have sensed it because the next thing I know he is telling me, "It's alright if you want to stop. It would suck but I understand." He had a puppy dog look that made me want to give him anything and everything he ever wanted. I shook my head, "No..no… just be a bit gentle. I have never done this before." My cheeks burned at my admittance.

I started to study him at this point. He had so many tattoos that only caused the tension in my lower belly to grow. I ran my hand along one on his chest that seemed to extend to his shoulder and back. Charlie shivered and pulled me on top of him in the middle of the bed. I leaned down and captured his lips with mine once again getting lost in the sensations. I started to kiss and nip along his neck working my way down. When I got to his nipples I noticed they were both pierced so I tongued the rings barely making contact with his nipple. This action caused him to buck against me giving me the courage to continue my quest down. I ran my tongue along his toned abs and circled around his belly button. When I finally made it to his prize I studied it for a moment. I had seen some of the other guys naked since this house is so crowded at times and the time we went searching for horacrux but never any this close. He was massive and I wondered how it would fit. I wrapped my hand around the bottom which caused Charlie to buck slightly. My hand was not able to wrap around completely. I licked the head a bit tasting his pre-cum and then took him into my mouth. I could barely fit him into my mouth but I tried anyways. I tried a few more times but never managed to get past the half. I settled for running my tongue up and down along his shaft while pumping my hand up and down. After a couple minutes I started to focus my licking and small nips on the head of his dick wile one hand pumped and the other rolled his balls. This seemed to be something he liked because after a bit I felt him buck into my mouth harder than any time before as he came into my mouth. I had heard from Ginny that you either like or hate the taste and that it would be different with each guy. Charlie's taste was a bit salty but not overly so. I swallowed as best I could and continued to lick and lightly suck till he was brought down from his high.

After a few minutes Charlie pulled me up on top of him and rolled us over. He kissed me long and hard before making his way down my body just as I had done to him. He pinched my nipples hard but it only helped to fuel the fire already growing in my loins. When he got to my panty covered center he ran his tongue along the edges and then kisses my clit through the panties. I bucked into his mouth hoping for more contact. He pulled my panties down my legs and placed my thighs over his shoulders and started to run his tongue up and down my folds. He used the tongue ring against my clit as he placed a finger inside me. I had never masturbated before I was regretting it now. This felt amazing and before I knew it I was quivering and then I exploded in orgasm. Charlie held my hips down to keep me from bucking too much. He made his way back up to kiss me.

"Are you ready, Darlin'?" I nodded and took in a big breath. I knew that there was a hug chance with would hurt due to my hymen breaking but also because of the size of him. Charlie was slowly pushed his way into me. It was uncomfortable but not hurting. I felt him reach my barrier and took a big breath.

"You can bite my neck if you need to." He told before pushing through. I whimpered at the twinge of pain but it was not much. As soon as my body adjusted I rolled my hips to indicate for him to continue. Charlie smiled and started to slowly slide in and out. He pushed a bit more in each time till he was fully inside. He stopped moving which caused me to roll my hips from lack of friction.

"Hold still Darlin. I do not want to blow this too soon." I held still until he started to buck again, this time going faster and harder than before. The fire inside me started to build to new levels and caused louder sounds to come out of my mouth. Charlie brought his hand down onto my clit and pounded even harder and faster than before. I felt the signs of my orgasm again just as Charlie came deep inside me. We both laid their panting for a got 10 minutes before he rolled over bringing me to lie on top of him.

"I didn't want to squish ya." I laughed and snuggled into him a bit more. I never thought I would lose my virginity to Charlie but I was not regretting my decision. He is a fantastic lover and hot as hell. I closed my eyes and just listened to his breathing.

I woke up some time later when I heard a loud ding come from downstairs. I opened my eyes to see Charlie still passed out. I knew the ding was from the floo call downstairs so I slowly got off Charlie hoping not to wake him and found my robe. I felt the sting or soreness between my legs but pushed forward. I walked down the stairs while tying my hair into a messy bun. When I got to the living room I saw Molly in the green flames.

"Finally, Hermione dear we are going to have to stay here for a short while. The problem is bigger than we had anticipated." She looked a bit frazzled so I figured it would be best to wait till later to discover the cause of the visit. "Tell Charlie I am sorry to not be there for his visit but I hope we can have a big dinner once all this has been resolved. I have told all the others so you and Charlie may be the only ones there for a week or so. I am sorry about this dear. There are plenty of groceries to last y'all."

"It's alright Molly. We will be fine. My cooking lessons with you ensure that we will eat properly in your absence. Do you need me to do anything while you're gone?"

"Oh no, dear. Just make sure Charlie stays out of trouble and enjoys his visit home. I have to go now."

We said our goodbyes and the flames returned to their normal colours. I sat there on my knees just thinking about the recent events. How would Charlie react knowing he would have to stay here alone with the girl he just shagged for about a week? I hope he is okay with it… with me. I mean I know he would never want to actually date me or anything but hopefully he doesn't shun me because of what happened earlier. I felt arms wrap around me, pulling me against his chest. "Why are you down here and not in bed with me?" I could feel the breath of his words tickle over my ear. It sent shivers down my spine.

"Your mum floo called, she and your father will not be home for about a week. She is sorry about leaving us here alone but whatever is going on at Bill's is bad enough that they cannot leave." I looked up at the clock to see it was nearing dinner time already. "I am going to start on dinner, would not want us to starve in Molly's absence." I signed before stepping out of his arms. Before I got too far I felt his grasp on my arm turning me into his chest.

"You do not regret anything… do you?" I could hear the hurt in his voice that made me want to hold him and never let go. "No, Charlie. I do not regret anything. I was scared that you would after finding out you were stuck with only me for a week of your vacation. To be honest, I am glad it was you. I know we do not know much about one another but I feel that pull with you and well… I don't know." I gave a small laugh at the end out of nervousness. I had no idea what to say or how he would react. I suddenly felt like the age difference showed so much in my actions.

"I feel a pull as well. Since your being honest I will as well. I have felt a pull to you for a long time now but was never sure how you would react. I didn't want to scare off a good thing before it had a chance to start." I was completely shocked by his statement and but the end I was gaping like a fish. After a second to process his words a huge smile found its way to my lips. I continued to smile into his chest before pull away from him.

"Well we have a week alone to figure out what this pull means. For now I am going to make us some dinner. We slept right through lunch." I kissed the eagle tattoo I was admiring earlier and made my way into the kitchen.

A/N…. I hope you all enjoyed reading this. It is something that popped into my head this afternoon and I felt the need to write it down for y'all. =]] I started writing this with every intention of having it be a one-shot but I wanted your opinion. If y'all want I will continue with this and put the one I have been working on (but not posting) on hold to focus on this one.

I have been writing my own Twilight fan fiction that starts after Edward leaves Bella in New Moon. Except, Bella is stronger than anyone thought she could be and during all her changes a familiar face brings her comfort, passion, understanding, and most importantly love. =]]

Let me know what you think… good or bad!
