[anyone, ATTN: Ginny and Ron]
The talk with his mum went better then he had anticipated. She had cried, and yelled and he was pretty sure she would never really get over missing the wedding, but he walked out alive, so he considered it a success. Of course he had to agree to a real wedding reception, but he would deal with telling Evey later. It was a small price to pay. And his mum seemed to understand, despite how upset she was, that it was the only way they would have gotten married. And her excitement of having her first son married eventually took over. Now he just had to tell his Ginny and Ron, and he had a feeling they wouldn't take it as well.
Charlie wrote a quick note an owled it out, making sure to have some of his mum's very best chocolate cake to soften the blow.

Georgie,
Could you come to Egypt for a few days, I really need you. You're portkey and hotel room has already been taken care of, so hopefully you'll say yes. This is one of those times little brother where I need someone I'm close to, please don't let me down. And come alone. Tell no one. Just say you need to go out of town for a few days.

*walks to lodge after checking in*
That wasn't so bad, I mean I've heard real horror stories of luggage being lost in portkeys especially when you have as much as we do. I'm thinking on the return trip we send the luggage back by floo. I have a feeling after two weeks we might have double the baggage. Especially since I have at least ten people to buy for. *yawns* Maybe we should take a nap, it was a really long trip and that car ride was really bumpy. And it's hot. Who knew it would be this hot. Ok, I knew it was going to be this hot, but still.
*walks into room, sets down bags*
I'm glad Newt recommended this place, it's posh enough for you and rustic for me. Look at those win--
*rushes over to window* Evey! Evey! You've got to see this! Look! IN the distance! It's a giraffe! ISN'T THAT EXOTIC?! FOR THE LOVE OF MERLIN! ELEPHANTS.
*Bounces like a little boy on Christmas morning*

Charlie walked from shop to shop, trying to decide if he should stop for coffee at Pudifoot's or a butterbeer at Rosmerta's. He really wanted a whiskey, but seeing as he was taking a late lunch from the sanctuary, he couldn't. The pregnancy thing shook him up more then he wanted to admit, and if he was honest with himself, in a way he hadn't anticipated. While he always like kids, he never really thought they were for him. Charlie always figured he would be the cool uncle and just have a large yard of animals in place of children. But for those few hours, he wanted to be a father. More then anything. It was almost like he could see his future playing before his eyes and for once he wasn't scared. He finally realized that what his parents have is exactly what he wants. But there was Evey and when it came right down to it, she probably wasn't ready. In fact, if he was a betting man, he would bet that she was beyond happy that the test came back negative. He just had to keep reminding himself that it was for the best and someday they would get there. Someday. It just seemed so far away. Charlie slipped into Pudifoot's and picked up a tea to go and decided to window shop. Maybe he would find something nice for Evey, it had been awhile since he surprised her with a nice little gift.

[zoo]
[late morning]
[anyone!]
Almost a year of work went into it, enough blood, sweat, and tears to start a whole new person, but it was finally done. He and Newt and Grubbly-Plank worked tirelessly for an entire week, supervising crews, meeting with protesters, and getting the animals ready for the opening. Charlie took the morning to wander the zoo before it opened, visiting the animals with Po trailing behind him. There were a lot a great things he accomplished in his life, but as he wandered the cobbled stone walk ways that were lined with amazingly diverse and unusual plants and trees, looking in at all the habitats, he knew that this was the thing he was most proud of.
As people started coming in Charlie greeted everyone and decided to stick close to his side the of the zoo in the dangerous creature exhibits in case anyone had any questions. He watched the children and parents catch their first glimpse of a live manticore and chimera, watched a little girl oooh and ahh over a dragon and a woman cry as she fed a unicorn in their special unicorn exhibit. This, he realized, was a perfect day.

*paces outside debating* I don't really have a choice do I? I don't really want to stay at the Cauldron or at the Hogs Head and I have a crick in my neck from sleeping at my desk. And it is what families are for. You know you can't go to the Burrow, Mum will kill you.
*looks up at the flat* I hope to bloody hell he isn't shagging Alicia right now. I'm not sure I can handle that. This is pathetic, this is supposed to be the younger brother coming to the older brother for advice and problems and...crikey thi sis embarrassing.
*sighs* Not even my kneazle is taking my side.

[anyone, ATTN:Proudfoots far and wide]
Charlie woke up a little later then he wanted, but he still had an hour before needed to be at work so he wasn't entirely worried. Po was dancing around him begging for food, but Charlie knew better. He didn't see Evey, which meant she was already at work and Po had already been fed. It took them a week of living together before they figured out that little trick. "You've been fed! I know you've been fed so would you please stop your whining. You know if you're good I'll share my breakfast," Charlie lectured as he pushed Po out of his way.
He wandered into the kitchen and made his breakfast, making good on his promise to share with Po. Not that he had a choice since the large Kneazle has crawled into his lap and stuck his head on Charlie's plate. He found something so mundane about mornings and he was pretty sure that was why he hated them so much. Charlie also wondered if that's what freaked him out about living with Evey. That's when they left notes for each other, or requests for dinner or groceries. Get up, eat breakfast, take a shit, shower, rinse repeat. He finished up his dishes and turned to Po. "I'm getting in the shower and you're coming with me today so if you want to bring any toys get them ready ok? Mimi asked to see you."

*flings paperwork about trying to find something on his desk* It was just bloody here, where is it...I need that form it's...not here. Right! I put it in the files so I wouldn't loose it. Lulu! I need you to owl Newt, tell him I have the form and we are all set for the carts. I also need you to check on the no eating signs for the dragon pens. Thanks.
*Lulu nods and walks out* Two weeks until opening day, I never thought I would be this nervous.
*walks over to the window over looking most of the pens*
*opens window* Sonorus! Oy, Martin, I need you to clean out the baby dragon pens and set up the look out area. Sandy, make sure Mimi has her crossword puzzles.

Charlie stood outside of the construction site for Tremlett's club. He felt like a huge arse for beating up one of his oldest mates. He hadn't spoken to Evey since his brothers party. It helped that he slept it off at his brothers flat and then adjusted his work schedule so she was asleep by the time he got home and asleep when he got up. Although he was beginning to suspect that she was doing that on purpose. When it came to fighting they weren't the most mature people in the world. What was disturbing him the most was that Po seemed to be taking her side. Maybe she told him about the party, he wasn't sure, but the last few days, when he came home, Po was sleeping on his pillow and glaring at him when he walked in. Charlie sighed and shook his head. He wanted to make things right he just wasn't sure how he should do it. But he suspected he should start here with Don. Once he got the balls to actually knock on the door.

*makes a bunch of boxes, tossing them in the corner*
Bloody hell Po. I just finished unpacking from moving in and now I'm moving out. Not that I'm complaining. I swear. I can't wait to move in with Evey. It's exactly what I wanted. I mean want! It's what I want!
*Po stares, shakes head*
What? So I'm a little freaked out. It's not that crazy. I've never lived with a woman before. Well I have, but I've never lived with one that I've been in a relationship with. Hell this is the first relationship I've been in. So I'm excited about this. You know, taking it to the next step. And so soon too...
*if Po had eyebrows they would be raised*
I said I was happy about this! And you must be pretty excited too. Another person for the Po fan club. Although it doesn't look like she can cook pancakes. You know I suggested that mum teach her to cook and I thought she was going to kill me right there. I suppose I'll have to learn. You know, for the future...
*pile of filled boxes fall over, some splitting open* I shouldn't take that as a sign right?
*Po yawns and lays down on the couch*
Thanks for all your help mate.

[Evening]
[Anyone, ATTN: Evey]
In between meetings and paperwork, Charlie spent a good chunk of his day surrounded by newspapers, both muggle and wizarding. If he and Evey were going to find a flat he wanted as much information as possible, and by the time the day was done he had a list two feet long. He was excited to take the next step and was determined to keep Evey on track. He didn't want to spook her, but Charlie was also afraid she would change her mind, so he would bring her a list every week if necessary. Charlie grabbed his coat and checked on a few of the animals before apparating to the Ministry. He walked in and saw that most of the aurors had left for the day, and at first glance he thought he missed Evey, but he noticed her coat was still in her cubical. Charlie sat in her chair and waited for her to return.

*Molly: Calm down? CALM DOWN?! My little girl is out there *sniffle* all alone! *smacks his arm* You and your brothers had to go on about adventures didn't you? Giving her all those ideas, making her think that she should do something dangerous too. Honestly you and Bill and those twins have been such a bad influence! She should have been a healer! I swear when they find her I am taking her by the ear and forcing her to get a new job!*
*tries not to laugh* Um...mum, she's an adult, you can't take her by the ear anymore. And really don't you think it's your fault, telling her all those stories about the Order? She probably wants to be more like--OW. That's my ear! LEGGO!

And what have we learned today?
*Never go into the Hippogriff cage?*
No. Bow first and remember, his name may be Snuggles, but he is a gentleman and should be treated like one. Now why don't you go feed the unicorns, at least they don't charge. Just don't go after one of the babies ok?
*pulls out list and scratches out name* Yet another worker who can never be allowed near the dragons. Speaking of which they should be arriving in a couple of weeks, I should check on those habitats.

Charlie tried his best to walk normally and not show that he was in any way hurt. He probably should have gone to Mungo's but he knew it didn't look good if there was an animal attack before the zoo even opened. They needed good publicity, not bad. It wasn't even the animals fault and he knew that if anyone found out, other then Newt, the manticore would be killed. And she was sorry. She had said so before running off to hide. He told the workers dozens of times that if there is a red "x" on the door to the habitat you do not walk in, for this exact reason. He got to the door that led to his flat and stopped to take a breath. Mimi's claws had hooked on the buttons on his dragons vest and cut his stomach as they pulled away. It was hard enough walking with those cuts, and now he had to go upstairs.
