Truth be told, Teddy was more nervous than ever. He knew something as trivial as seeing his "family" off to Hogwarts was nothing to be worried about but thoughts of seeing Victoire had clouded his mind. The excitement of seeing her after nearly a year and a half was overbearing and he just wanted to get it over with.

He was late as usual, partly because of habit and the other most likely due to his subconscious trying to delay the anxiety that was bound to happen when he finally got to see his blonde best friend in the flesh.

Being as tall as he was, it wasn't hard for Teddy to plow through the groups of small children and search out the Weasley/Potter clan. After all, a group of loud, screaming redheads wasn't too difficult to find in any situation, really.

It wasn't long before he caught up to them, causing a lot of chaos among the family members. Lily was the first to reach him, running up and jumping into his arms. "Why Lily! You've gotten so big! And you too Albus. Hello Rose!" After several minutes of seeing each member of the family, it was clear that the only blondes among them were Fleur and Louis.

Setting down Lily, Ted walked over to his God father. "Harry. Where's V-" Harry knew exactly what the bloke was getting at. "She went looking for you actually. That way." Before Harry's arm was even fully pointed in the proper direction, Teddy hastily walked away from everyone, he was set out on a mission after all.

Now, finding a rather short blonde in a crowd of several was much harder than finding the Weasleys. In fact if it wasn't for the fact that Victoire had stopped next to the lou in hopes of finding Ted in a stationary position, he would have never spotted her.

She was standing with her back to him, hip out to the side and scanning the crowd. "Oi. You're a hard girl to find." Teddy chuckled, trying to relieve some of his nerves with humor. Before he could say much else, she turned around to look at him.

A year of planning could not have prepared Teddy for seeing Victoire that day. When she turned around, it took everything in his power not to gasp at her. A year and a half had done more to her than he could have possibly imagined. While he had always found Vic to be beautiful, she was so different now. Her face had thinned and her body had filled out. He didn't think she could get much prettier if she tried.

Caught in some type of weird pause in time, Teddy barely heard her shout his name. But out of nowhere she was pushing herself towards him, her arms wrapping around his waist in a tight hug. Her curly hair was in a heap around him as she continued to squeeze.

For some reason, Teddy had never considered the fact that Victoire would change over a year a half. In fact, he completely expected to see the fifteen year old girl he left when he went to Russia.

Her body was close to his, and suddenly all new feelings were rushing in on Teddy at once. He didn't feel very in control of himself, which was something he wasn't use to- to say the least. She looked up at him to say something, but Teddy was focused on the way her skin glowed and how her lips parted when she was about to speak. He was so focused on her lips that before he knew it his were on hers. He had literally lost all control of his body, but it was still moving.

His hands moved from her back to entwine themselves with her soft hair and his eyes remained closed, in fear that when he opened them he'd get smacked square in the jaw. Though that would've been better than what actually happened.

"Ew!" Teddy pulled away from Vicky due to the sound of James Potter's voice. He was dead. He didn't even know what he was doing- but now his family certainly would. "Teddy, what are you doing?" James looked like he was about to cry from laughter, Teddy embarrassed, and Victoire too shocked to do anything. "Erm. I was uhh- just seeing Victoire off ..." Teddy scratched his head, not sure of what else to say.

"That didn't seem much like seeing anyone anywhere." Replied James, who was still giggling at the awkwardness of the two of them standing there.

Without thinking much about a response, Teddy glared at James. "Oi. James. Just- uh- uh go away! Don't uhm tell the family…" But before he could make a valid argument, James was skipping off ready to tell everyone of what he just witnessed.

Teddy smacked his hand against his forehead and sighed. "Vic- I uh. I- I- I'm sorry. I gotta go." And with that he ran off without so much as another word.


Another short one, I'm sorry. I might re-do this. I was somewhat rushed. But this is just a set-up chapter any how.
