Title: Shiver Me Timbers Pairing: Charlie/Hermione Rating: G Summary: Hermione wants to get noticed.
Hermione stared at the mess covering not only the table but her as well and sighed. Charlie had only had to flutter his eyelashes and she was ready to do whatever he asked. Which meant being put on pumpkin carving duty for the Halloween party.
Unfortunately Charlie didn't really seem to think of her as anything but Ron's friend, even after all these years.
Just as well then, that she had a plan.
“These look brilliant,” Charlie said to Ginny, some hours later. “Hermione did a great job. Where is she anyway?”
“Right here,” Hermione replied, stepping carefully into the kitchen.
Charlie twirled around and then stopped to stare. Hermione was wearing a tight fitting corset that revealed far more of her flesh than usual, and tight leather trousers.
“I'm a pirate,” Hermione said after a beat, waving her plastic sword.
Charlie nodded and then started walking away. “I'm going to get into my costume”.
“Oh?” Hermione asked, trying not to sound disappointed. “What is it?”
“Whatever gets me captured by a pirate,” he replied with a wink.
Hermione's pleased laughter followed him out of the room.
