Just A Visit ((Ron))

[Charlie Weasley]

Charlie had been home now for almost a week, and had not left the house despite his mother's attempts to send him into Diagon Alley. He had just not been ready to return there to see that some of the rebuilding was still going on. He hated the fact that he hadn't been able to come home and check on his brother and sister when the attack had happened.

Charlie decided that he needed to try to visit one of his siblings, so he took a trip into Hogsmeade. He knew that he was bound to find one of them in Hogsmeade. He apperated from the Burrow to Hogsmeade, and looked around. Nothing had changed since his last visit there, with the exception of security, but that was to be expected.

Going into the Three Broomsticks, Charlie heard a very recognizable laugh. Looking around, he saw the same firey red hair that he had on his own head. Walking over to the table where he saw his brother, Charlie just stood there a moment. Deciding that his brother hadn't noticed him, Charlie decided it would be a good time to speak, "Wouldn't it be safe if you knew who was around you at all times?" Charlie hoped he had not scared his brother.

It was nice to be able to visit Hogsmeade every now and than. After the whole Diagon Alley fiasco and than all the events around school. Ron completely expected these trips to be canceled. Somehow Dumbledore must have pulled through and gotten some extra security around Hogsmeade so these trips would still be possible.

Ron knew that he should be taking Moody's advice and remain in state of Constant Vigilance, but he couldn't help but feel safe and relaxed here in Hogsmeade. No matter what anyone said, Hogwart's was the safest place to be in this time. Sure it wasn't perfect, but it was the best there was. It would only be natural that Hogsmeade would be the second safest, since it was really close to Hogwarts.

The day's at the school had been so busy that Ron had lost track of Hermione and Harry. He had hoped to catch sight of them on his way to Hogsmeade, knowing that they wouldn't pass up a trip to Hogsmeade, but once again he couldn't spot them. So he had opted to go to the Three Broomsticks instead. He sat down among a table of fellow Gryffindors and ordered himself a Butterbeer.

He was laughing and having a good time when a voice spoke behind him. He thought on the voices words for a second and than recognized the voice. Ron spun around with a grin on his face. "Charlie." He cried out in greeting. "What are you doing here?" Ron said as he stood from his seat to stand in front of his brother. He grinned and glanced around the room. "In a crowded place like this I think even Moody would go mad trying to stay attuned to his surroundings."

((sorry It has taken me so long to get back to this))

Charlie looked around the crowded pub, and nodded in agreement with what his brother had said. Ron was right, it was so crowded in there, that even Moody himself would have a problem watching everything. Charlie wondered what had gotten the pub so suddenly crowded, but he decided that thought could wait until later.

Charlie ordered a drink quickly, and then explained to Ron why he was here. "I was home for a visit, and didn't think it was fair if everyone but you and Ginny got to see me. Although I haven't seen Ginny around anywhere, so I haven't gotten to see her yet." He hoped that would offer a good enough explanation for Ron, for it was the honest truth and the best he could give. "Enjoying your trip here?" He asked just making conversation with his brother.

((sorry it's so short too. I ran out of ideas))

[Ron Weasley]

Ron couldn't hide his surprise and joy at seeing his older brother. Ever since Charlie had left home Ron had never gotten to see him that much. Now with the Death Eaters on the rise Charlie was even more busy with his Order duties. Ron scooted to the side, giving Charlie a place to sit. He nodded at Charlie's statement. "Oh, She's around I'm sure." He said speaking about Ginny. "Even though we are in the same house I don't even get to see her that much. If school wasn't hard enough to worry about we have all the recent DE events to distract us." Ron fell quiet, he remembered all to well the attack on Diagon Alley, the dreams hadn't completely left him either.

Ron's tone dropped considerably in volume and became extremely serious. "Are you guys in the Order making any progress? I mean I know it must be hard and very dangerous, but from the limited information us student's are getting it doesn't seem like the Death Eaters can be stopped." Ron spoke the truth, he knew that the Orders movements were secrete and shielded from the public eye to protect the members identities, but whatever the Order was doing it didn't seem to be effecting the Death Eaters at all. If anything it seemed that the Death Eater's activities were increasing, and they were gaining in power.
