Writing Challenge!

Welcome to the sixth seventh monthly writing challenge. Go all of us who've contributed! It's one of my favorite times of the month... because it forces me to be creative, and it lets me read some amazing short work on a regular basis.

This month's theme, in honor of sff_corgi, is serenity. Not the movie, the word.

From Cambridge Dictionaries Online:

serene
adjective
peaceful and calm; troubled by nothing:
She has a lovely serene face.

serenely
adverb
She smiled serenely and said nothing.

serenity
noun [U]
I admired her serenity in the midst of so much chaos.

Re: Fandom: Harry Potter / featuring Charlie Weasley

It was a good challenge to write Charlie in a forced-slow situation like that. I really didn't know what he wanted to talk about until he started, but it came out as that acceptance of the situation he both wanted and didn't want to be in. I always wondered how he felt about being told to stay in Romania and do quiet work for the Order there. I hope JKR doesn't forget about him again in Book 7.
