Let it Snow
By: KatMarieY
Charlie and Saoirse were at his cabin. A blizzard raging outside made it nearly impossible to leave his cabin. So they talked for hours with the fire roaring and mugs of firewhiskey spiked hot chocolate to keep them warm. Saoirse, part of the Black family, was raised in the muggle world and learned how to make the muggle Christmas music work with magic. Currently, they have Christmas music playing in the background.
Charlie looks over at Saoirse and smiles. "Dance with me?" He couldn't help but offer his hand to her in anticipation that she would join him for a dance.
Saoirse smiles and takes his hand. "Of course, you would want to dance to this song." Let it Snow played in the background as they started dancing around his Little living room.
Charlie couldn't help it. He pulled her close as they danced. Charlie looked down at her and couldn't help it and began to sing the lyrics to her. "Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" He sang the words low in her ear while holding her close. She was half a foot shorter than him, but he didn't mind leaning down to dance with her. Charlie continued singing the song to her. "When we finally kiss goodnight, How I'll hate going out in the storm, But if you really grab me tight, All the way home, I'll be warm. Oh, the fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we're still goodbyeing, But as long as you love me so, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." despite being so close to her, they weren't together. However, Charlie couldn't keep himself from kissing her at the song's end.
Saoirse was so shocked when he kissed her, but then she kissed him back, wrapping her arms around him as a flash erupted all around them, sealing them in a bright gold bubble.
When they finally come out of the bubble, there is a marking on their wrists, the Celtic Love knot tattoo. Saoirse looks at Charlie, and Charlie looks at Saoirse simultaneously.
Charlie takes her hand in his and looks at the mark. "Why do we have this mark? Also, what was the gold bubble about?" Charlie ponders out loud.
Saoirse looks at him and smiles. "I think it may be a bond… the easiest way to tell would be if I were to check them. After all, I did specialize in them." She pulls away and gets her wand on the kitchen counter.
Charlie can't help but be astounded by her. She stayed true to herself even when she discovered that she was a part of the Black family. She dedicated herself to learning all branches of magic and ensuring that she could stand on her own without the help of her family.
Saoirse swirls her wand in the air stating, " Vinculum Reprehendo! "
The bonds vibrate and turn Maroon into a Marriage bond declared by magic. Charlie looks at her in surprise. "So we are Married? Since magic declared it so?"
Saoirse nods and determines the spell that caused the bonding to happen. "It looked like when you kissed me, and then I kissed back, it invoked the spell. ' Matrimonium Semper' , which means Marriage Bond Forever. It also can't be reversed as magic declared it to be." Not that she would want it to be reversed; she has always loved him.
Charlie couldn't help it; hearing he was bonded to her forever made him smile as he leaned down and kissed her again. "I wouldn't want it reversed anyway. I dared to ask you to be mine anyway."
Saoirse smiles and looks at him, kissing him back. "I have been waiting for you to ask me for a long time, Charlie Weasley."
Charlie chuckled, pulled away to go under the tree, and grabbed a small box he had for her since they graduated. "I have something for you, Saoirse."
Saoirse looks at him. "We are already married according to magic. So what more can you give me besides your last name?" She couldn't help but tease him since they had known each other since Hogwarts.
Charlie smirks and opens the box once he's by her. "Since we are already married, it only seems fitting that you get your ring." The ring itself was black gold with a red ruby in the centre.
"Charlie, you shouldn't have." Saoirse was shocked that he had a ring.
"I had to Dragă ," He said, smiling and slipping it onto her finger. "Besides, it suits you. And you need a ring beside this tattoo to show we are married."
Charlie and Saoirse kiss, sit on the couch and cuddle while listening to muggle Christmas carols. All While it's still a blizzard outside his cabin.
