A/N: Okay, so this is a different story I've been working on. I've been wanting to write it for a long time now, and I have finally decided to go ahead with it. I don't plan for this to be very long, just a couple of chapters, not nearly as long as my first story, The Legend Continues *which I haven't necessarily finished, but I'm working on it, I promise!*. I wanted to give some insight and background on Dominique. I know in TLC I made it seem like I didn't care for her very much, but I do. She's one of my more preferred characters in the next generation. The chapters aren't going to be very long, at least I don't think so. TLC is written in third-person omniscient so there are things that are told that aren't necessarily known by other characters. Well, enjoy! –Adri
She sat alone on a low hill amongst the many trees that shaded the edge of the backyard of the Potter home. She sat quietly observing the way his wavy hair, slightly windswept, fell atop his head, a grin broadening on his face as he made his way toward her. She tried to hold back the beam as she watched him greet various family members. She giggled as he ran a hand sheepishly through his turquoise hair as her grandmother admonished his thin figure. Finally, she thought to herself, he was within her reach, well almost, a mere thirty feet away. He waved and she shook with excitement as she stood up and waved frantically, glad that he found her hidden in the trees.
He began to jog to her and she bounced on the balls of her feet, anticipating his hug; the feel of his arms around her as she inhaled his clean scent. Her smile faltered as he passed her, muttering a quick, 'Hey, Dominique.'
She turned and watched as he walked further into the surrounding forest and embraced her sister, Victoire, in a tight hug and pressed a not-so-chaste kiss on her lips. They stayed that way for several agonizing minutes until they noticed Dom there, her mouth agape and eyes rounded in shock. Victoire gasped, Teddy looked uncomfortable.
Victoire placed a well-manicured finger to her lips, 'Shh, pleeze, Dom. Don't say anyzing to Máman or Dad.' Dom rolled her eyes at Vic's exaggerated accent that she always spoke in when she came back from a summer in France. 'I'm leaving for my last year at Hogwarts day after tomorrow and I had to say goodbye. You understand, right?'
Dom nodded silently, her eyes shifting between the pair. Victoire smiled brightly and hugged her in appreciation. Dom stood shocked; Victoire didn't do that much, hug her, everyone else maybe but not her. Teddy ruffled her red hair as he passed, his arm wrapped around Vic's shoulders in a friendly manner, at least, that's what it would look like to the others.
'Thanks, Dom. You're a great friend.'
At thirteen, Dominique Weasley felt her heart shatter to pieces as she watched the man she'd fallen in love with so many years ago, walk away with her sister; her tall, blonde, perfect sister.
A/N: I know this is short but it is simply the prologue. I know in TLC, I said Victoire was celebrating her three year anniversary with Teddy in the second chapter; that's true, but the family didn't know about the two of them. What do you guys think? I'm planning on putting a song at the beginning of each chapter; the song will either relate to the chapter, inspired me in some way for a particular scene, or just something that I was listening to as I was writing it. Please, leave some feedback in a review or PM. -Adri
