"LOOO-SEE-UULL!" cried a voice from downstairs. Lucy sighed and put her book down, she knew she couldn't avoid going forever.

"Come on!" her cousin cried. Lucy looked in the mirror quickly, fixed her auburn hair and grabbed her cousins pink lip gloss off the vanity-she never remembered anything! When she got downstairs Victoire was waiting on the couch looking impatient."We're going to be late!" she whined.

"Don't worry vic, we do't need to be there until eleven and it's only 9:30," Lucy said reassuringly. She grabbed her handbag and reached for her coat-it was A dark teal, which her mum said brought out her eyes. Victoire looked anxious in her powder pink coat and matching scarf and hat. Lucy grabbed her keys and slipped her wand into her handbag."Come on Victoire, let's go," she said motioning towards the door. Victiore got up and followed Lucy out the door. They were going to pick up Teddy, their Uncle's godson and Victoire's boyfriend. Teddy had just graduated from Hogwarts and was on his first term of university. Teddy went to a local arts school with the other members of his band. Lucy and Victoire were in their sixth year at Hogwarts and were home for the holidays. Since Victoire had no muggle connections through her parents she, unlike Lucy did not have her drivers license. So, Lucy had to drive her everywhere not connected to their house by floo.

When they got to her car Lucy slipped into the drivers seat and turned the ignition. Victoire jumped.

"Does it have to make that sound?" Victoire complained.

"Yes, Vic, it does. that's how I know my car is working," Lucy explained like she did every time she took her cousins anywhere.

They were half way there when Victoire shrieked. Lucy slammed on the breaks.

"What is it Victoire?" Lucy said patiently.

"I forgot my lip gloss," Victoire said sadly. Lucy rolled her eyes and dug her hand into her bag and pulled out Victoire's lip gloss."Here you go," Lucy said a little huffily to Victoire.

"Lumos Lip Gloss: The sparkle that never fades," Victoire said lovingly reading the tube of sparkly gloss as she put it on in the rearview rolled her eyes again. Victoire was one of her best friends and her cousin but Lucy sometimes wondered why she was a Ravenclaw.

When they drove into the parking lot, Victoire started getting excited and mumbled weird stuff to her self. Lucy looked up and read the sign above the entrance to the building.

Murray's Academy of the Arts

Next to the words was their logo, a giant treble clef.

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe we are about to see Teddy!" Victoire exclaimed excitedly.

"Stay calm Vic, remember we're in public. So please don't embarrass me when you see Teddy."

"Don't worry Lucy, of course I'll stay calm. I'd never embarrass to you like that in public," Victoire said trying to reassure her. Lucy's mind flashed to when they had dropped Teddy off at school four months before, and the hysterics Victoire had caused.

"If you remember August 20th you'd understand why I'm worried," Lucy replied as she pulled into a parking spot. They got out of the car and headed towards the big front doors.

"Do you think he'll be in class?" Victoire asked.

"No, he'll probably will be in his dorm." Lucy said. They opened the front door and headed through the entry way and down the hall until they reached a door marked "Administrations". Lucy pushed open the door and walked up to the desk of the nearest secretary.

"I would like to find the dorm of my brother in-law please," Lucy told the old woman behind the desk. The university was a muggle one and had a policy where nobody but the student's immediate family or his/her spouse's immediate family could pull them out for the holidays. The Ministry of Magic helped them create a fake story for them to tell the university including false identification. They were able to do this because Lucy's dad worked as the Minister of Magic, her mom was in the LES(law enforcement squad) and their Aunt Hermione worked in the MMCD(Muggle and Magical Creature Department of the Magical law office.)

The story was that Victoire was now Mara Kendle-Lupin and Lucy was Roz Kendle.

"Name, age and major please," the lady said.

"Ted Remus Lupin, eighteen, music," Lucy told her.

"And in what relation are you to Mr. Lupin?" the lady asked peering over her spectacles.

"I'm his wife Mara Kendle-Lupin and this is my sister Roz," VIctoire piped up.

"Identification please?" Lucy sighed pretending to be annoyed as she and Vic got their "drivers licenses" out of their wallets. Victoire's was a complete fake given to her by the ministry while Lucy's was her real drivers license but instead of saying "Lucille Amelia Weasley" under name it said "Rosalie Maria Kendle". And instead of saying "age 16" under age it said "age 18".

"hmm.." The old lady said as Lucy crossed her fingers in her pocket. It wasn't like she hadn't done this before, she and Victoire were special workers at the ministry. They had been so since they were ten, anytime the aurors or law enforcement or any other part of the ministry had a mission where they needed someone young to go undercover they would call upon Lucy, Victoire or another member up. It wasn't a real career so when they were older they could still have a real job and also go on call when they needed to.

"okay, Room 534,'' The old lady told them after she clicked away at her computer.

"Thank you!" Lucy told her. She and Victoire headed down the hallway until they reached the lift.

"You think he'll be happy to see us?" Victoire asked

"Of course he'll be happy to see you, and really happy you didn't blow my cover!" Lucy assured her laughing.

"Hey!"

When they reached the fifth floor they got out and turned on the left corridor.

"526, 528, 530, 532-"

"Lucy! There it it is!" Victoire shrieked.

"Calm down Victoire!" Lucy said for what felt like the a thousandth time.

"Eeee! I haven't seen Teddy in forever!" Victoire said tearing up. Lucy sighed and knocked on the door. Victoire took a deep breath. The voices in the room stopped and footsteps sounded towards the door. The door knob clicked and the door opened to reveal a turquoise haired boy in socks.

"Teddy!" Victoire yelled.

"Vic!" Teddy exclaimed. Victoire ran and jumped into Teddy's arms and buried her head in his shoulder, Teddy spun her around in the doorway.

"Mission Capturing a Teddy was successful,eh?" Teddy asked as he put Victoire down and kissed her cheek. They both nodded. "Come on in, I still have to get my trunk and stuff.'

As they followed him into the room they took a look around. The room was jusr big enough for two beds, two desks, and a bookshelf. The walls were covered in posters for loads of different bands. Some were wizard bands Lucy knew, some were muggle bands Lucy had heard of, but most were bands she had never heard of like The Jonas Brothers, One Republic, The Runaways, and so on.

On one of the beds sat Keefe, the drummer for Teddy's band and a girl Lucy didn't recognize. Teddy was busy throwing the contents of his closet into a tiny suitcase. Teddy turned around when he was finished "packing".

"Guys, you know Keefe, and this is his girlfriend Stella-"

"Hi everybody! It's so nice to meet you!" Stella said flipping her long honey colored hair behind her back and getting up to hug them both. "I've heard so much about you!"

"And that's Addi over there," Teddy said, gesturing over to a girl Lucy hadn't noticed. The girl had shoulder length dark hair with purple streaks, she didn't even glance at them."Addi, I just introduced you..." Teddy said patiently. Addi turned and did one of those smiles where the corners of your mouth go up and down really fast.

"Addi just moved here from America, she's our lead singer. She went to a school called Salem Witch Institute," Teddy explained. Victoire walked over to where Teddy was standing and kissed him full on the lips and Teddy responded slowly turning into a full out snog. Addi frowned and Lucy internally cringed.

"How old are you Victoria?" Addi asked pointedly..

"Its Victoire," said Victoire.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, answer my question," Addi said snottily.

"I'm sixteen," Victoire replied.

"Oh, your just a kid, from the way Ted talks about you I thought you were older! Especially with that shade of makeup," Addi sneered.

"Victoire had to put on a new makeup to look older while we were under cover!" Lucy stepped in to her cousins defense.

"Whatever, it looks terrible. Your just so young! I bet your even still at warty-hogs or whatever," Addi said laughing.

"It's Hogwarts, and so what if I am?" Victoire said folding her arms.

"Well, your still at school-are you even of age? If your not how can you be serious about Ted? I mean at your age is it even love? Are you even dating him or is it all in your head, because I could tell you stories that would last 1,000 days nights about all the girls Ted's seen this year!" Addi said standing up. Lucy gritted her teeth preparing herself for one of Victoire's hissy fits. But, instead Victoire got really quiet and pale,her eyes narrowed as she turned to Teddy.

"Is that true? Have you really been seeing other girls?" Victoire asked in a deadly voice.

"No-please, I mean do you you really think I'd do something like that?" Teddy asked her stuttering.

"Oh, I don't know," Victoire said pulling out her wand.

"Victoire! Don't!" Lucy warned suddenly bounding foward.

BOOM!

Only it didn't come from Victoire's wand, it was from another's and the spell blew Lucy's hair back and everyone's wand flew into the air-including Lucy's which flew straight out of her pocketbook. Lucy's widened as she turned saw the one person she never would've expected to see-Ben Macmillian. Lucy just stood their gaping at the boy who now stood in the doorway, disheveled hair and wand at the ready staring smugly at the huge mess he had just made. Lucy's eyes widened and then she sighed.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, not sure if she wanted the answer.

"Your taking me to the burrow, remember Luce?" He replied with a smirk.

"You were supposed to meet Molly at the Corners', not just show up at Teddy's University and destroy the place!"

"Well, I tought since we hadn't seen each other in three days, that you'd probably miss me so much that I didn't want to keep you waiting any longer," He said smugly.

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah. That and if I stayed with Molly and Anna for that long I think I would die. Like-literally they would've killed me!" Ben said, laughing.

"Ugh, I guess so, let's clear up this smoke and get out of here!" Lucy said swatting the air and helping a tear stained Victoire up. As Ben helped Stella up both Teddy and Keefe were standing up shakily while Addi was in her chair smirking smugly.

"Come on, guys let's get out of here," Lucy said nervously.

"Bye Keefe, Stella, Addi!" Teddy said hugging them all.

"See you after Christmas!" Stella said cheerfully to all of them. As they walked through the halls and down the lift Lucy felt a tension that wasn't there before.
