"Do you have your robes?" Fleur asked Victoire.
"Yes Maman," Victoire answered.
"Are you sure that you don't want to go to Beauxbatons? Because I could make some phone calls…" Fleur said.
'I'm sure Maman," Victoire said, smiling. Ever since Victoire had been accepted into both schools, Fleur had been fretting over which one Victoire should go to. For Victoire the answer was obvious. Hogwarts had been her dream ever since she was young, and her cousins and she had discussed which house they would be in. But her cousins, and her siblings, weren't going to be there. Only Teddy Lupin, her Uncle's godson. Teddy was one of Victories' best friends, and had been ever since Victoire was three and Teddy was five. Victoire distinctly remembered the day they became friends.
August, 2004:
"What do you want to do?" Teddy said to Victoire. Victoire shrugged. "Where did everyone else go? Harry said that he would meet us out here." Victoire looked at Teddy. He was her only "cousin" in a way, and he was really nice. But they never played together, because Victoire hardly ever left the side of her daddy, or her baby sister Dominique. And Teddy was always with Harry, or Andromeda. But now they were sitting together outside, near the trees. Victoire looked up at the apple trees.
"Teddy," she said, excited. "Lets a-pick some of dose apples."
"Yeah!" Teddy said, smiling. "Here, you go on my shoulders. And reach up for those apples." Victoire giggled as she stood up on Teddy's shoulders. She reached up for the two brightest red apples from the tree, and started bringing them down. Victoire was smiling, and then her feet started to slip. She screamed.
"Teddy!" she yelled. "Teddy I'm a-falling!" Victoire fell of Teddy's shoulders. It was a 4 foot rope, but to a three year old, it was certainly scary. The minute Victoire slipped, Teddy went right under her. Victoire fell into his arms. "Teddy!" Victoire cried, embracing him. "You a-saved me!" Teddy smiled.
"Do you still have those apples?" Teddy asked, his hair growing red like the apples. Victoire handed him an apple, and bit into another, with her tiny little teeth. Teddy laughed and ate his apple. Harry and Bill rushed out of Shell Cottage.
"Vicky!" Bill cried. "We heard screaming. Are you alright?"
"Yes daddy," Victoire said. "We got some of dem apples." Bill exhaled. Harry looked at Teddy.
"Where did you get those apples Teddy?" Harry asked, smirking.
"The trees," Teddy said, casually.
"How'd you get them?" Victoire and Teddy glanced at each other.
"Magic," said Victoire, laughing.
And now she would be going to school with him. Not that they'd be close friends there or anything. Teddy was in third year, and Victoire was in first. Victoire understood if he wasn't super close with her. It was natural. They were to be "forbidden friends" in a way. Vicky giggled because it reminded her of an old muggle play. She stopped giggling when she realized that everyone I that story died. She never understood why her mother liked that so much. But it was her turn to have her own story, and she couldn't wait.
