A/N: Alright, so as of right now I have no reviews I would really really appreciate some if that's possible! I'm sorry that it's been so long, I've been on vacation. Anyways, I hope you liked the first chapter and I hope you like the second chapter even more. And also one last thing, I know it's a terrible thing to do, but I'm switching to 1st person with Victoire. It is way too hard to show her feelings any other way and this story is about her feelings for Teddy. Sorry about that! Without further ado, this is "A Classic Love Story" chapter 2.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter series, that all belongs to the wonderful JK Rowling and Warner Bros. The only things I own are the plot, and my OC.
The train ride to Hogwarts was hectic as usual. Each year, more people kept popping up from the family. We even had a train car named in our honor (okay Teddy scratched it in the doorway). Only very close friends to our family were allowed in our compartment. Teddy was of course an honorary family member. He practically lived with the Potters.
Another person allowed to sit with us was Dominique's friend, Aliyah. They had been friends ever since the sorting feast first year when they were Aliyah was sorted right after Dominique. Aliyah is a beater on the quidditch team and was almost sorted into Ravenclaw, but her bravery got her into Gryffindor. I swear, she isn't afraid of anything. Whenever I ask what she's afraid of, she always tells me that the only thing to fear is fear itself. It sounds like something Teddy would say if you ask me.
Aliyah quickly blended into the family. Everyone took a liking to her, especially me. I was glad my sister had found such a close friend. Aliyah is one of my really good friends too; she has a sense of maturity to her that Dominique lacks. I think that's why they're such good friends. Anyways, she sits with us, which makes Domi happy.
Those two were about the only people allowed. We have a rule in the compartment that we're only allowed to bring one close friend. Everyone has their own reasons behind not bringing friends. James, of course, has no friends yet. Molly, Lucy, and Roxanne are their own best friends. Fred is busy planning pranks that he'll do in the Great Hall and occasionally showing Lucy (a rule bending prefect) to see if they will work. Teddy is content soothing the nerves of the newcomers in our family (right now, it's James).
And me? I talk to Domi and Aliyah (usually under a muffliato charm) about girl things: Clothes, shoes, make-up, boys. Mostly boys. None of us really enjoy talking about clothes, shoes, or make-up. And the only boy we really talk about is Teddy. Right now, our conversation is bordering on a yelling match, with me against Dominique and Aliyah.
"You need to talk to him about it! You have to tell him how you feel!"
"He's a year older than I am!"
"One year, not ten years! Back me up here Ali!" This is what I mean by a yelling match. They have tried for two years (unsuccessfully) to get me to tell Teddy how I feel.
"Dom has got a point Vic. He is never going to know if you like him or not, he can't read your mind. If you even want a chance, you need to talk to him about it. The worst he can do is say that he doesn't like you back."
"There are so many things that could go wrong though!" They clearly didn't get the consequences of doing this. I should probably explain it to them. And right on cue,
"What consequences? Explain it to me."
"Teddy is my best friend. He has been ever since before Hogwarts and I don't want to screw that up! Plus, what would the family say? He is practically a part of the Weasley-Potter clan. The fact that I love him isn't going to change any of that!" I yelled. Oh my god, I just said love.
"You just said love!" Dominique said. "You really are crazy about Teddy. I think you should tell him, before someone else does."
"Is that a threat?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. Aliyah stepped in.
"Of course not Vic. Teddy has a lot of fan girls in the school, if anyone were to find out, by accident obviously, they would tell someone else and news gets around fast at Hogwarts. If he gets it through the Hogwarts gossip, he might not believe that your feelings are real." I couldn't say that she was wrong. Sometimes I wondered how she wasn't in Ravenclaw.
"You have a point. Alright, I'll tell him. I just need some time. Give me a month or so."
"Alright Vic, just remember that we aren't the one's setting the timer. You are."
A/N: Oooh an ominous ending. That makes me happy. Please review for the next chapter otherwise I might forget to post it. Like really. I'm pretty darn forgetful! R and R please :D :D
