HELLO THERE! Recently I've been reading a lot of Teddy-Victoire fics, and they've left me INSPIRED! So here I am, starting my own one. I'm not very sure if it's really going anywhere, I'm just writing a little here and there, and it may be deathly inconsistent, but I thought I might as well post up what I've got written down. (:

Enjoy!

"Bill, are you sure you can have a 2 year old around Victoire at the moment?" Harry crackled out of the fireplace in Shell Cottage.

Fleur barged into the scene. "'Arry, we 'ave been Victoire's personal punching bags for too long. I theenk a leetle company would do 'er good! She's strong enough to 'andle Teddy, I theenk."

"Alright then. We'll go pick him up from Andromeda's place. See you in a minute."

"See you Harry," Bill said, comfortable in his seat in front of his armchair.

"Agoooahh!" an exclamation came from below Bill. Little Victoire was crawling along the floor, her short silvery-blonde hair sticking out in tufts.

"Merlin's beard, Victoire! How'd you get there!" Bill deftly picked her up and balanced her on his arm. His rather large finger reached out and poked her in the nose.

"Eweeee!" she cried, arms flailing wildly.

As Fleur walked past, wand held aloft, cleaning up the house for the imminent visit, she paused and stuck her head out to Victoire. "Peekaboo!" she said in her French lilt, widening her eyes and sticking out her tongue. Victoire burst into a glorious peal of laughter and reached out and grabbed her father's nose. Giggling at her daughter, Fleur practically waltzed off to the kitchen.

Soon enough, the doorbell rang and Harry and Ginny were at their doorstep, Ginny carrying a 2 year old boy, whose hair colour changed just about every other second.

Fleur ran for the door while Bill stood up, Victoire in his arms.

She swung it open and cried, "'Arry!" she kissed him on the cheek and he grinned sheepishly. She hugged Ginny and planted a kiss on her too, and Harry distinctly heard her mutter 'phlegm' as she wiped her cheek. Harry shot Ginny a look and Ginny shrugged, muttering, "Old habits die hard." She winked playfully and Harry chuckled.

Then Fleur's eyes fell upon Teddy Lupin.

"He eez just the cutest thing, eezn't he!" she exclaimed, holding out her hands to him.

"Hweh-woh!" Teddy Lupin said, grinning at her mischievously.

"He sure is," Ginny smiled, shifting Teddy over into Fleur's awaiting arms.

"So how's school?" Bill casually asked as Ginny crooned over Victoire.

"Stressful," Harry said honestly, grimacing at the thought of it. "N.E. are coming and we're getting really worked up and I don't want to flunk-" Harry began ranting but Ginny cut him off.

"Oh shut up Harry, be glad you're having a break. We all know you'll make it straight into the Auror programme, so stop being such a worrywart and enjoy your Christmas," she said tartly, eyebrows furrowing. She swept her hair to the side, as she tended to do when she got annoyed. "Hello there!" she focused all her attention on the laughing Victoire in Bill's arms.

Harry shrugged to Bill, who smiled knowingly. "Are Ron and Hermione coming?" he asked.

"They should arrive in a minute, but only if Ron's managed to pry Hermione's head out of those books," Harry laughed.

"Quite a task, then," Bill said. Harry grinned.

"Come on in."

They set the children down onto the living room floor, Victoire's permanent play-area. Teddy sat there and looked up at his Uncle Harry uncertainly. Harry smiled, and prodded Teddy in the back. "Go on!"

He turned back to look at Victoire, who was just settling herself on the mat that had been laid out for them.

He caught her eye, and his hair colour immediately changed to a bright red.

A high peal of gurgling laughter emanated from Victoire. Her parents and Harry and Ginny watched, fascinated. Teddy grinned sluggishly, and reached a hand out toward her. "Hweh -woh. Mah name is Ted-dey."

Victoire giggled and reached out and grabbed a fistful of Teddy's red hair.

"Ouuuuuuuccchhhhhh ow oww!" Teddy cried.

"Victoire!" Fleur cried, prying her child's hands out of Teddy's hair. Teddy started laughing.

"Whas her name?" he asked, grinning.

"Victoire," Fleur said, smiling.

"Hwe-woh Vic-tahh. Mah name ish Twedd- dye," he held a hand out to her, as if willing her to shake her hand.

She grabbed it immediately. "Twedddahhhhh!" she squealed, and it was more of a noise than a word. But Teddy smiled, recognizing his name.

And so their friendship began.

A/N: I know JK Rowling mentioned that the only one of the three (Hermione, Ron, and Harry, I mean) to go back to Hogwarts to complete their studies to N.E.W.T level was Hermione, but I always imagined all three of them going back together, studying in the same year as Ginny! I'm sorry if my slight alteration upsets anyone! I hope you enjoyed it either way! If you like it enough to favourite, please do review! 8) The next update'll be in a week or two!
