Victoire's Nickname

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter; I leave that to author, J.K. Rowling. Sometimes I wish I owned Gred and Forge.

A/N: I thank and give MoonPrincess92 some credit for being my muse with this story.

A/N 2: Once again, I know Fleur is supposed to have an accent, but I don't feel like putting one.

"A girl," Bill Weasley said as he watched his wife, Fleur Delacour-Weasley, sat with their newborn daughter. "What are we going to name her?"

Fleur smiled at her husband and gave him the birth certificate she had been given to fill out.

"Victory?" Bill asked when he looked at the name Victoire.

Fleur laughed. "No, dear," she said, "it's pronounced Vic-tawr."

Bill made a face. "It's French, isn't it?" he asked her.

She nodded. It is," Fleur said. "In French, the name Victoire means Victory."

Bill looked at Fleur in awe. "It fits," he said. "She'll help us remember what it felt like to win."

"You know that was the night she was conceived," Fleur replied.

Bill looked over at her. "A night that we need each other," he said.

Fleur nodded. "I loved you so much that night," Fleur said remembering. "I didn't think nine months later that I could love you more or holding our newborn daughter."

"Neither could I," Bill said as he leaned forward and gently kissed his wife careful not to jar the baby. "I love you, too."

Victoire just looked up at her parents while they kissed. She made some noise.

Bill and Fleur laughed a little. "You're going to see a lot of that, Tory," he told her.

Fleur arched an eye at him. "Tory?" she inquired.

"You said it yourself, darling," he said. "Her name means Victory. Why not just call her Tory?"

"What about Vicky?" Fleur asked.

Bill shook his head. "It'll cause bad memories to be remembered where my youngest brother is concerned," he told her.

"Good grief," Fleur replied. "He has her now, doesn't he?"

"Yes, he does," Bill said. "Thanks to a book my brothers had given him for his seventeenth birthday."

Fleur laughed. "Twelve Failsafe Ways to Charm a Witch?" she asked.

"Yes," Bill said. "How'd you know?"

"Molly found the book in Ron's room when she was straightening up," she said. "It was a couple of days after our wedding. She understood what caused a change in him during that summer. I don't think she told Hermione or Ginny. I don't think she ever will. Though I wish someone told him that the best way to get the girl is to be just be yourself."

"I think Dad did at one point," Bill said.

"The best example," Fleur said. "But I do think you're right. If you think it'll upset your brother, then we'll call her Tory for short."
