I've just watched the second part of The Deathly Hallows, it was brilliant! Disappointed with Fred's death (how they did it), but all in all amazing. In the spirit of everything to do with Harry Potter I figured that I might as well upload another chapter. I'm just warning you there are going to be a few time skips in between the chapters from now on, but you're smart people I'm sure you'll be able to figure how much the time has passed.
Of course I don't own this
Enjoy!
Chapter 2 – Beauxbatons
"What do you mean you're going to Beauxbatons?" Ted inquired, now about to start his fifth year at Hogwarts he was shocked at Victoire's sudden change of mind. Over the two years she had been at Hogwarts with him, Ted had gotten used to the annoying "cousin" and was quite happy to come across her in the hallowed halls.
"It means that in September, instead of boarding the Hogwarts Express I will be getting a lift in a carriage of flying horses," Ted could see she was excited, but there was regret in her eyes.
"But why?" he asked, "I thought you liked Hogwarts." And me, he thought but was intelligent enough to keep it inside his colourful head.
"Well I do like Hogwarts, but mama said that she wanted me to get part of my education in French. It'll be a great opportunity for me to improve my French and to get some of the culture I've never had a chance to receive," Victoire was smiling widely, displaying her perfect white teeth. Her skin was tinged golden from the Romanian sun. For her holidays, Bill and Fleur had decided to take Victoire, Dominique and little Louis with them to see Uncle Charlie. An invitation had been extended to Ted and Andromeda but they had declined having already accepted to stay with the Potters.
"Ted?" Victoire's eyes gave Ted a quick look over. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine," he laughed running his hands through his turquoise hair and stretching. "Just spaced out for a bit." He laughed again; Victoire just looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Well I'm leaving in a couple of days," Victoire continued.
"What?" Ted was stunned, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I couldn't, I only found out a couple days ago and I've had to unpack from Romania and repack for Beauxbatons. I didn't have any time, if I had do you honestly think I would have told you like this?" Victoire's stubbornness kicked in. Hands were on hips, lips were pursed and for a second she looked awfully similar to her grandmother. This just made Ted grin.
"You know who you look like when you do that don't you Froggy?" he began to chuckle as Victoire immediately threw her hands to her sides and frowned.
"I do not look like grand-mama, and I am not a frog!" French accent was in full swing as she began to rant about how she did not look like "Grand-Mama Molly". This just made Ted laugh even more. Moments like these were the ones he was going to miss the most when she left so Ted took full advantage of it while he had it. He began to tickle Victoire, "So now you're going to live in the land of the frogs?"
"Ahaha, stop tickling me, and for the last time they're not frogs!" This argument continued as their tickle war progressed.
Soon enough Andromeda Tonks was calling for Ted to come in for dinner, Ted exchanged glances with Victoire, "Wanna come in for dinner?"
Victoire shook her head and politely said, "No thanks. That's one thing that will be a relief when going to France; I'll be able to have proper food." She nudged Ted's arm and he nudged hers back. They stood opposite each other awkwardly in silence for a couple of minutes.
"I'd better get going, dinner calls," Ted said as Andromeda called for the second time, he turned to go but stopped when he felt the strong grip of Victoire's hand on his sleeve.
"I brought you a gift back from Romania," she handed him a leather-laced necklace with what seemed to be a dragon fang hanging on it. Ted was fascinated, he took the gift and tried to put it on.
"Let me," Victoire murmured and swiftly attached the necklace around Ted's neck. The fang rested comfortably just below his collar bone. "Peruvian Vipertooth," Victoire muttered. "I found it in an abandoned cage and Uncle Charlie told me what it was. Apparently exceedingly venomous," Victoire winked at Ted and he sighed, she was never going to forgive him for how he treated her the first year at Hogwarts.
"I'm going to miss you Theodore," she only called him that when she was being completely serious. Ted felt her lips on his cheek before he was able to anticipate what she was going to do. Blood rushed to his cheeks as he watched the young witch giggle and run off in the opposite direction. Down the road she went and then before she turned the corner she yelled at the top of her lungs, "I'm NOT A FROG!"
Well that's the end of the second chapter, the time skip was two years if you hadn't figured it out by the first sentence "now about to start his fifth year at Hogwarts", he was in his third in the first chapter. Victoire and Teddy have an age gap of two years.
Please Review! I'm off to England tomorrow morning so don't expect another chapter for a couple of weeks and I would love to come back and find around five reviews waiting. Don't get me wrong I like favourites, but reviews tell me what you really think (good and bad) and I really would appreciate them.
Happy Wednesday!
