Victorie Weasley thought she heard a noise near the door of the Burrow, and she was right.
"Teddy Lupin, where do you think you're going?"
"Out," Teddy said slipping his wand into his pocket by light of the moon.
"Really? I thought you were opening the door just for fun. So, where are we going?" Victoire made a graceful move to grab her coat but Teddy, being two years older and nearly a foot taller slid in between her and the coat rack.
"We? Who said anything about we?" Teddy replied, raising an eyebrow.
"I did," Victorie's face looked even more determined than it did before. "I'm going with you."
"What makes you think that? Maybe I'm going out on a date! "
"Are you, Teddy?" Victoire attempted to hide the disappointment in her voice to no avail. She had no right to be mad- Teddy was allowed to like anyone he wished, but ever since they were young, Victorie had always hoped he would some day fancy her.
"No... But I could be!" Teddy replied indignantly, shaking his head. Not that he'd ever admit it, but he didn't enjoy Victorie looking so upset, even if she was really holding him up at the moment.
"Okay, then I'll go and it'll be a date." Victoire slipped around Teddy as if he never could've stopped her in the first place and grabbed her coat.
"Victoire," Teddy grabbed her wrist as she made for the door, "this isn't really a date kind of place. I'm... I'm going to see my parents."
"Oh..." The spring fell out of Victoire's step as she turned to face Teddy. Suddenly, she embraced him. "You shouldn't be alone right now. I'll go with you."
"I... Thanks."
"Don't even worry about it."
"And Victoire?"
"Yeah?" Teddy grabbed Victoire's hand and led her out the door.
"Next time we go out you can cash the rain check on that date."
"I just might hold you up on that one, Teddy," Victoire giggled.
