Notes:

By “twenty years on from the start of the Harry Potter series” I mean I’ve set this roughly in the summer of 2011, so it’s 20 years after the start of the main action of Philosopher’s Stone (1991: Harry’s 11th birthday/getting his Hogwarts letter), and 13 years after the end of Deathly Hallows (1998: when Harry’s nearly 18).

Probably some small deviations here from Pottermore and latterly JKR revelations about characters’ post-canon lives, since I tend to view those as interesting expanded universe but not strictly canon, and because in some characters’ cases I’d already written stories and established headcanons before JKR’s info came out. Minor stuff, though! Details like where Fleur works. :-)

"Charlie!" Nymphadora Tonks was standing in the doorway. Grinning ear to ear, she swept in and grabbed him up in a hug. Charlie, his thoughts lagging somewhere behind him, stood up and wrapped his arms around his old school friend.

Tonks stepped back and smiled at him. Charlie stepped back and looked at her. Whatever he'd been expecting, it wasn't this.

Characters: Charlie Weasley, Nymphadora Tonks

Timeframe: Shortly before Christmas during "Deathly Hallows".

Further note: I don't actually believe, in a canon way, in this story. But I thought it would be fun to play with...
