Fifteen-year-old Victoire Weasley was getting ready to go to the monthly Weasley/Potter family get-together. The pretty strawberry blond was found in front of her mirror, making sure she looked absolutely perfect. She had on a pair of dark skinny jeans, a dark pink tank top with a black pinstriped vest and some shinny, black ballet flats. Being the only French/non-blond Weasley, she disobeyed her mother by cutting her hair very short in a bob reaching her chin with side bangs that swept in front of her fair-coloured face into her turquoise eyes. She was extremely pretty, but was quite rebellious in every way possible.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

In came her father, Bill Weasley. Victoire ("Vic") loved her father most of all. He sympathized with her (especially about her hair) and usually was there to calm down Vic and Fleur. Vic was the only child of Bill's that had inherited his werewolf-ish traits, and that's what made them so close.

"Hey, sweetheart! Just wanted to see if you were ready for the party. We're going to leave soon for Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione's."

"Cool. Is everyone coming?"

"Everyone except for Uncle Percy and his family. They're out of town for the summer."

"Okay. I'll be down in a sec."

Bill kissed Vic on the little bit of forehead he could find and laughed.

"Sometime, I think you really are Tonks' daughter, with your rebellious attitude and all. If I wouldn't've witnessed your birth myself, you would be having a blood test this instant."

Vic laughed with her father and hugged him.

"Okay, see ya in a bit. And Vic, you look just fine. Come one. It's only family!"

As her dad closed the door, Vic thought 'BS it's just family'. Part of the Potter/Weasley clan was also the Black/Tonks/Lupin clan, party of two. Vic realized that Teddy Lupin and his grandmother Andromeda Tonks would be coming as well, and that's what worried Vic.

Vic fancied Teddy. A lot. He was everything a young man should be: intelligent, nice, polite, friendly, caring, and an all around gentlemen. They had been best friends since birth, because Teddy grew up with his godparents, Harry and Ginny Potter, who are also Vic's aunt and uncle. Teddy and Vic were hanging out in the Shrieking Shack on the last full moon while that were at Hogwarts about two and a half months ago that Vic had let it slip in front of Teddy that she fancied him. And the worst part was that he didn't say or do anything.

So I guess you could say she was nervous to go to the family get-together. Very nervous.

Bill, Fleur, Vic and her two siblings, Dominique and Louis, Flooed to Ron and Hermione's house. They weren't the first ones there. Obviously, Ron, Hermione and their two children, Rose and Hugo, were there, as well as Uncle Charlie, Uncle George, and Aunt Angelina. Vic noticed how Dominique was talking to Uncle Charlie about her third year at Beaubatons. Dominique was Vic's polar opposite. Dominique looked exactly like her mother with flowing platinum blond hair and icy baby blue eyes and her mother's petite figure. When Vic decided to go to Hogwarts instead of Beaubatons, Dominique made her mother very happy and decided to go to Beaubatons. The sisters hated.. no.. loathed each other.

At that time, Vic's favourite aunt just happened to come into her line of eyesight. Aunt Ginny (the only Mrs. Potter in the group) was carrying her daughter, Lily, while her sons, James and Al, played with the other Weasley children. Ginny and Vic were the same height, same build, same weight, and everything. Not to mention they both love Quidditch. They even had similar freckle markings.

"Aunt Ginny!" said Vic as she gave her aunt a huge, one-armed hug.

"Hiya, Vic! How was school?"

"Errr…….. Good, but I would like to talk to you about something. In private."

"Sure, honey," said Ginny. "Let's go outside."

"Wait. Where's Uncle Harry?"

Ginny let out a tiny smirk. "He and Teddy were having a chat. They'll be here soon."

Ginny set Lily down with Nana Weasley and followed her niece out the door into the backyard. It was a lot quieter outside and more freeing.

"So, what happened?" said Ginny as the two walked aimlessly around.

"Well, you know about my crush on Teddy?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, I kinda let it slip that I like him. A lot."

"Ah. Let me guess, he didn't do a thing."

"How did you know?!" said Vic, quite taken aback. "Did Teddy tell you?"

"No," said Ginny. "I know teenage boys a bit to well. Growing up with six older brothers really teaches you a lot about guys."

They had reached a bench in the backyard. Ginny sat down and patted the seat next to her, motioning for Vic to sit down next to her.

"Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She dreamed of one day meeting a famous boy about her age, knowing that he was her Prince Charming. Her older brother became friends with said Prince, and one day the Prince showed up at their house. The girl came downstairs dressed in a nightgown, and there was her Prince Charming, sitting next to her brother at the kitchen table. He said to "hello" to her and she went running upstairs and wouldn't come down for quite some time. As time went on, the girl fell more in love with the Prince, but realized a few years after their first encounter that he was out of her league. So, the girl began to date other guys, trying to suppress her feelings for the Prince. The Prince and the girl became closer and closer friends. They went on exciting adventures together. And after knowing each other for almost six years, the Prince finally realized his Snow White was inside the girl all along. They accidentally kissed in front of the whole royal court, and by that time, they began to date.

"One unfortunate day, the Prince understood that no matter how much he loved the girl, she could not be with him while he was on a quest to kill the greatest evil of all time. He broke up with his girlfriend, saying that he didn't want the evil to have any chance of attacking her. She was left broken-hearted. She didn't even attempt to move on from her Prince. After a year, they met again. And he looked at her and all of her suppressed feelings came back. She also saw in the Prince's eyes that he had hurt as well, and he missed her terribly and still loved her. However, once he was going into battle with the evil, he wanted her to stay out of harm's way. She, being slightly rebellious, didn't totally obey him, especially after one of her siblings was killed. Both the Prince and the girl almost died in that battle, but thankfully, they survived.

"The girl's brother, trying to protect her from his best friend, The Prince, made him promise not to harm his sister or even recreate some hope of having a life with him. The Prince, unfortunately, obliged for one year, while he was taking care of his fairygodson. He missed the girl terribly and wished that she would forgive him for hurting her and come back once she was done with school. The girl met the Prince near Christmastime at her parent's Christmas party. The Prince finally didn't care what his friend said and asked for his true love's forgiveness. She happily obliged and they lived happily ever after."

"That was a very nice story, Aunt Ginny, but let me guess. The girl is you, the prince is Uncle Harry, the evil is Voldemort, and the girl's brother is Uncle Ron, right?"

Ginny laughed. "How did you guess?"

"It was an easy guess, but what does this have to do with me and my Teddy-problem?"

"It takes boys longer to figure out they truly love you. Sometimes they're unresponsive. Harry did that when I first kissed him in front of the entire Gryffindor house."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and look how we ended up!"

"So you're saying there may be hope for me and Teddy?"

"Absolutely."

At that time, Aunt Hermione came outside. She found the two sitting on the bench.

"Sorry to interrupt you aunt-niece bonding time, but dinner's ready."

"Hermione, is everyone here?" asked Ginny.

"Yeah, Teddy and Harry just arrived a few minutes ago."

"Oh, great," said Vic. "Here goes nothing."
