As you can see, I've decided to post some of my one-shots here as well as Second Chance at Saving Them (if you aren't familiar, check out my profile!) Anyway, not all my one-shots from Wattpad will be posted because, frankly, some of them aren't great. But I will post some of them, and when I post new on Wattpad I'll post here as well.

Context: A character named Amelia Wood appears in this one-shot, and several others in the future. She's Oliver and Katie's daughter of my own invention. She isn't the focus of this story, but she is in it.


"Are you ready?" Bill looked at his daughter as they waited behind closed doors for the ceremony to start.

Victoire nodded with a wide smile on her face, "More than ready. Bit nervous though, I'll probably end up tripping as I go down the aisle."

Bill laughed, "Don't worry, I won't let you fall."

"Were you nervous when you got married to mum?" Victoire asked after a moment.

"Ah, I was waiting for that. Honestly? Yeah. Your mum didn't get along with Grandma Weasley at first, so things were a little tense. They eventually made up, but that was only after this," He indicated the scars crossing his face. "Happened and your mum made sure everyone knew she was still going to stand by my side, no matter what I looked like."

"I've heard this story before dad." Victoire said though she was clearly enjoying hearing it again.

"Well, then it's a good thing I'm not done with it then," Bill said, hushing her. "The day of the wedding, I was so nervous that Charlie had to spend a good twenty minutes calming me down. But once I saw your mother walking down that aisle, I knew it would be perfect."

"Uncle George said it took you a couple minutes before you could get a word out, you looked so nervous." Victoire teased.

"Your Uncle George is a liar." Bill countered, then pulled her into a hug. "My point is, you two are going to be fine, and this wedding is going to go perfectly because it's your wedding and you're marrying the man you love."

"Thanks, dad." She said, putting her arms around him as well. The commotion that had been outside had stopped. "It looks like it's time."

They got up and walked to the room to await their cue to walk down the aisle. The music started and they started walking. Her eyes went right to Teddy, who's normally blue hair was his natural color with a streak of bubblegum pink above his ear. He saw her and a grin filled his face and for a moment, it was just the two of them. Victoire hardly noticed when they reached the end of the aisle and her father placed her hand in Teddy's.

In the years that followed, neither Teddy nor Victoire would be able to say exactly how the ceremony went. Both were too wrapped up in each other to do much more than saying what was required of them. The party that followed, however, was big even by Weasley standards. The entire family was there, along with what seemed like both Victoire's and Teddy's entire class years.

Teddy and Victoire took the floor for their first dance, but since neither of them could dance very well it was just swaying and moving in circles.

"I can't believe it. We're finally married." Teddy said to her as they danced.

"I know. It feels like just yesterday we started dating. But now look at us. I'm well on my way to becoming a Healer, and you've just finished your studying with McGonagall."

"I'm just surprised she agreed to take me on after all the trouble I caused."

"All her favorites did. Look at Reid, he probably caused the most trouble out of any of you and she adores him."

"He certainly knows how to flatter people. It's why we didn't get more detentions than we did. He got us out more detentions than I can count."

"And now look at you, a functioning member of society. You don't even keep your hair blue as much as you used to. I like it though."

"McGonagall recommended I hold off on the hair until people know they can take me seriously. But now that I know you like it this way, maybe I'll keep it."

"Well you can change it at any time, so I guess it really doesn't matter. I do like the pink, it's a nice tribute."

Teddy smiled and kissed her forehead. They danced in enjoyable silence until Bill cut in to dance with Vic, and Andromeda came to dance with Teddy. After that, the dance floor opened up and everyone joined in. It was nearly impossible to make anyone out in the crowd, except the Scamanders who were all dressed in bright yellow.

About halfway through the reception, Teddy and Victoire slipped out of the tent to get some fresh air. When they walked around the corner, they saw that they weren't the only ones that had tried to escape.

"Oh, this is too good." Teddy grinned, causing Amelia and James to spring apart, eyes wide. "Now, what was that thing you did when you saw me and Vic kissing?"

"That was three years ago Teddy!" James protested.

"Teddy!" Amelia groaned.

"Wait. I think I remember now." Vic said, playing along.

"Not you too Vic!"

"Ah, yes. G-" James leaped forward, covering Teddy's mouth with his hand, but Teddy just poked him in the side, causing him to jump back. "Well, now I'm going to make sure Oliver knows about this."

James' eyes went wide and he went silent as Teddy ran back into the tent shouting, "Hey! James is back there! I just saw him snogging Amelia! Our James, snogging our Amelia!"

Everyone looked back towards where Teddy had just come from just as James and Amelia walked in, both with beet red faces.

Then a voice from the audience, most likely Albus, shouted, "Finally!"

This broke the tension and the party went back to normal, though Vic noticed Oliver making his way over to where the two were standing, more calmly than Victoire thought he was capable of.

She walked over to where Teddy was standing. He sent a wink towards James, who merely heaved a sigh and rolled his eyes. "So much for being a functioning member of society."

"I'm about as functional as anyone in this family can get." Victoire laughed and nodded her head in agreement, before dragging Teddy back onto the dance floor.


I'm not sure why I chose this to be the first one-shot, but I hope you can get a good picture of what I usually write in terms of one-shots. Some will be longer (I'll wait a while before posting my 7,000 word one) and some will be shorter. I usually aim for consistency in my stories, but since these aren't connected, there really isn't any.
