Re: Marlene/Charlie
There were some traditions that Charlie wished would be over and done with - especially this time of year, there were so many things people expected simply because it was the last month of the year and things like that just made Charlie glad that he didn't actually have to spend his time with the majority of those types of people. He had his reserve to escape to when he needed to.
The Lighting Ceremony though was something Charlie had always found himself enjoying. Oh he hadn't gone every year, staying in Romania over the holidays, but the times he had come he couldn't help enjoying himself.
Tonight was no different, things had gotten so much better in recent weeks, he'd stopped going into the Ministry every day, the world was an infinitely better place when most of his time was spent with dragons instead of people. Of course just as these thoughts were going through his mind Charlie found himself caught up by a very familiar woman all wrapped up against the cold.
"Very well, Ms. Head Auror." He assure her with a chuckle. "You look like you're planning on spending quite a bit of time out here." He grinned, and doubted Marlene was capable of ever looking anything but lovely even with all the layers. "How have you been?"
