Flashback

Victoire was sitting on the stairs of her Grandma Molly's home. Teddy had just learned he had been made Head Boy and the whole family was currently congratulating him. Everyone, except for Victoire of course. She wasn't really in a celebrating mood today because she had recently realized that she fancied Teddy, but she could tell that he didn't feel the same otherwise he would have said something like a year or two ago right? A fresh set of tears sprung to her eyes and before she could stop them she heard a set of footsteps up the stairs. She was going to turn and run to the loo, but then she realized it was only her Aunt Hermione.

"Victoire, what's wrong?" she asked.

"You wouldn't understand"

"Oh I wouldn't? So this doesn't have anything to do with the fact that you fancy Teddy then?"

"How did you-"

"You teenagers are under the impression that your parents were born adults. We were young once too, no matter long ago 'once' was". Victoire laughed at this, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She was heart-broken.

"I just don't know what to do. I know he fancies me back, but he doesn't see it. Or maybe I'm delusional; I mean, is there something wrong with me?"

"Oh Vic, you know there is nothing wrong with you. Boys can be really thick, and sometimes they have a problem realizing what they have in front of them. Your Aunt Ginny had a similar problem" Hermione mused.

"Really?" She asked

"Absolutely. Now, I'm going to tell you exactly what I told her when we were in school. Back off a bit and give him a little more time to come to his senses before you give up on him. Date around a little, enjoy yourself. You're way too young to be sad over a guy."

"So you're saying that I should be less obvious, and date a bunch of other guys"

"Not in those exact words and maybe not 'a bunch' but yes, I think you understand the gist of it"

"And what happened? Did it work for Aunt Ginny?"

Hermione chuckled, "What if I told you the guy Aunt Ginny liked was your Uncle Harry?" At this, Victoire's eyes nearly popped out of her head. She jumped on Hermione and attacked her with kisses.

"Oh thank you, thank you! You're brilliant"

And that is why Victoire is currently snogging the Slytherin out of her boyfriend, Damarco Zabini. He was just the distraction she needed right now. It was a week before the big Quidditch match against Slytherin for the House Cup and Teddy had told them to get focused but Victoire just couldn't. She had prefect duties, O.W.L.'s to study for, little cousins to keep up with, and of course maintaining the illusion of having it all together. Key word: illusion. As much as she enjoyed snogging, she knew she had to get to Quidditch practice soon. She pulled away and smiled at the sad look on Marc's face."Aw, Vic. What's wrong?" he asked, his lower lip jutting out.

I'm in love with someone else. "I've got to get to Quidditch practice," Technically she wasn't lying. "Teddy will hex me back to France if I'm late again, and if he finds out I'm late because of you he'll probably come after you the muggle way." Again, she wasn't lying.

"He wouldn't dare. Plus you guys can practice all you want, you won't beat us out for the cup." he said with that stupid confident smirk.

"If that's what you have to tell yourself to sleep at night then so be it, but I've got to go" She kissed him one last time and kind of skipped down to the pitch. Teddy would be pissed, but at this point she could really care less. Serves him right. He was Head Boy and top of his year at Hogwarts, but he couldn't figure out a simple crush from a tiny sixteen year old girl. Anyone with a pair of eyes could see they were meant to be together, except for Teddy of course. She could hear Teddy barking orders before she saw him, which was sign number one that he wasn't in the best mood at that moment. Her plan was to fly into the air quietly blending in with the rest of the team, and she was just about to intercept the quaffle from her best friend Alexi as if she'd been there the whole time until-

"Vicky! You're here!" she heard her cousin Molly squeal. You could count on Molly to ruin any suprise or secret. This is why their Uncle George had nicknamed her Molly Mouth. The whole team turned to look at her, and from the keepers goal she saw a head of hair turn from black to red. He began turning his hair red after the first and only time Aunt Ginny got angry with him. The Weasley temper really left a lasting impression.

"Nice of you to join us Vic." Teddy yelled.

"Sorry Ted, I got here as fast as I could" she replied breathlessly-and not from the running. Even when he was frighteningly mad at her, he was one of the most handsome men she'd ever seen. He was tall and muscular, but not overly built or bulky. When he wasn't morphing his appearance he had hazel eyes and soft features that made him look a lot like his mother. Amognst all of that her favorite part of him was his thick, black hair that he had recently cut short. It made him appear older, and Victoire loved it. From the day she met him he'd been changing his hair color to express his moods or associate with certain feelings. Sometimes he didn't even know he was doing it, but over the years Vic had paid attention to them and she could almost always tell what he was feeling or thinking. When his hair turned blonde it usually meant he was hiding something or lying, and brown generally meant he was bored or tired. The worst ones were red, which meant he was angry or a pink streak in the front that meant he was sad or depressed. Her absolute favorite was his natural black, which meant that he was just being himself. She was in the middle of ogling him when she realized he had been speaking to her.

"Get your head out of the clouds Vic. I swear you girls are going to kill me." he said. She put on her sweetest smile and flew to join her fellow chasers. Teddy's hair was still red from being angry, but seeing that smile softened him a bit. After a long practice, Victoire walked back to Gryffindor Tower with her best friend Alexie Thomas, who was chewing on her nails and clearly dying to tell Vic something."Out with it, Thomas" she said suddenly, startling Lexie.

"You're only going to get upset" she said, but Victoire decided it would be best if she got it out now. She stood with her hand on her hips, giving Lexie a look that Fleur herself would be proud of. "Ok! Geez Vic, you're getting more like your mum every day. It's just...why on earth are you dating Damarco Zabini? He's a cocky Slytherin who's had more girlfriends than even Casanova could count, not to mention the fact that you are TOTALLY in love with Teddy Lupin"

"Listen Lex, Damarco isn't that bad. You know, he's nothing like his father's friends used to be. Surprisingly he's really sweet and seems to care about me, plus dating him actually is part of the plan to get Teddy; so just bear with me" Victoire replied.

"The plan? You're dating Zabini to make Teddy jealous? And who gave you this brilliant idea?" Lexie asked

"My Aunt Hermione, last summer." And Lexie couldn't argue with that. Everyone knew Hermione Granger was one of the smartest witches to ever grace the wizarding world. Victoire began telling Lexie about her conversation with Hermione, thinking back to the summer before her 5th year started for the second time today.

"Well then I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it works. Don't you feel bad using Marc though? From the way you talk about him it sounds like he really likes you."

"Hey, I'm not using Marc. I actually do quite like him, I just don't love him. And, yes we'll just have to wait and see ". Victoire had to admit that Hermione's advice was working in a way. She couldn't tell if Teddy was noticing her in the way she now wanted, but she didn't have to think of Teddy all the time because she had occupied herself with...well with having a life. Once she realized Teddy Lupin was not the only wizard around, she learned that there were quite a few guys that had fancied her for some time. When she finally reached the common room, she saw Teddy sitting with Roxy and Molly in what had been named "The Weasley Section". The four of them, Teddy included, sat in the one corner of the common room all the time. It wasn't like other people weren't allowed to sit there, but people were a bit intimidated by them. They were the only family that big in Hogwarts, even though this wasn't even half of them. And of course people knew them due to their parents being 'war heroes'. Victoire oftened wondered what all the fans would think if they saw these 'heroes' trying to control 12 Weasley kids.

Victoire loves her family, but she really wanted to be alone right now. This could only happen if no one noticed her, because for some reason she just couldn't say no to family. She put on her best "I don't want to be bothered" face and walked towards the girls dormitories. She was almost out of sight until she heard Molly."Vic! Over here!" she called. Merlin, she was going to have to talk to Molly about doing that. She walked over to their corner and plopped down on the sofa in her usual spot next to Roxy. Teddy sat in the big armchair nearest to the fireplace and Molly was usually sprawled out of the floor doing whatever it was that caught her interest that week. "Did you know the whole family is coming to the match against Slytherin next week?" Molly asked.

Teddy sighed, "No we didn't, but I think that was intended to be a surprise Mo."

Then they shouldn't have told Molly.

"Then they shouldn't have told Molly," Roxy said aloud. She almost always seemed to say what Vic was thinking. Victoire giggled at this and lay down in Roxy's lap. She might only be a second year, but she was wise beyond her years. The funny thing was, she and Molly were the same age-only a month apart- so Roxy had to wait a year before she could start at Hogwarts. Of course Molly liked to think she was so much older and more mature, but Roxy was actually the more mature one.

"Oh shut up Rox", Molly yelled as she threw a pillow at her. "And I hate being called Mo" she said to Teddy.

"I don't care." he said as he flicked her in the back of the head.

"Now we absolutely have to win this game! Uncle Ron will disown us if we don't"

"Molly, Ron can't disown you, he's not your father." Victoire reasoned. Molly was so dramatic; you would think she'd be tamer considering who her parents are. Victoire was about to drift to sleep when she saw a shy first year boy walking towards them with an envelope. What now?

"Um Victoire, I'm….uh supposed to give you this. Here." Victoire smiled at him and took the note. He nearly fainted, and she and her cousins rolled their eyes; it wasn't like she was going to bite him. She opened the note that smelled faintly of Marc.

Meet me in "our spot". I've missed you.

-Damarco

"Who's Damarco?" Molly asked.

"None of your business, Molls" she responded. Victoire noticed that Teddy was suddenly very interested in what was going on.

"Zabini?" Teddy asked, "You can't tell me you're seriously dating that arse."

"I already told you I was, and what does it matter to you anyway?"

"I thought you were kidding, or that it would be a one-time thing!" he yelled. She was going to get angry if he didn't lower his voice."I didn't honestly believe he'd want to date you!"

"Because someone wanting to date me is so unbelievable!"

"Vic, he's two years older than you. There's no way he just wants to date. Is that why you were late to practice today, getting in a quick snog?"

"Oh stop it Teddy! I was 5 minutes late. And it's none of your business what we were doing." He laughed a really annoying sarcastic laugh

"So he was the reason you were late! Merlin Vic, sometimes you don't think! I forbid you from seeing him, I will not have people thinking of you as a slag!" he spat. She could hear the faint gasps from Molly and Roxanne in the background. Victoire had never seen him so angry, but she was angrier.

"Forbid me? You forbid me? You have no right to be telling me who I am allowed to be with Teddy Remus Lupin! And I could care less what the morons in this school think of me!"

"Well maybe you should, I won't be here to protect you much longer. Plus, you don't hear the things people say. It drives me crazy!"

" Whatever. You never paid me any mind before, so don't start now! I'm not a little girl and I can take care of myself. Just leave me alone." Victoire ran up to her room and for once even Molly didn't dare speak. She cried herself to sleep that night thinking of Quidditch and Teddy and Marc and O.W.L.'s and Teddy and Teddy and Teddy…

She was hopeless
