I just got my first review! Thank you so much or following the story and please send more reviews!
This chapter is a bit special, since it's the letters Victoire received when she was in France, they're mainly from Teddy, but Alice did write a few.
One of Teddy's letter got some typing/spelling mistakes because Teddy is supposed to write the letter while being drunk.
Letters from the dead

Victoire if you knew how sorry I am for not properly saying goodbye. I know you're probably mad at me and I deserve it. I want to apologize for last night as well, we didn't end up spending much time together but I really hope you had fun (and Nathan, Jason, and Alice told me you did).
I am being a terrible friend, but you know how much you mean to me, so I hope that you will find it in your heart to forgive me. Otherwise, I will have to spam you with letters every day until you agree to I'm afraid.
I hope you arrived safely at your grandmother's place and that she is treating you well. Please send me some news as soon as possible.
Love, T

Hello Vic, you still haven't replied to my previous letter so I take it your still mad. If there is anything I can do to make you forgive me, please tell me. I'm all yours, my lady ;)
Your mom told me you arrived safely, so at least I know your safe. I know this summer will be challenging for you but I have faith in you. Just keep thinking how nice it will be to not throw fireballs at people!
Anyway, I spent the last 2 days cleaning my gran's house, we made quite a mess for your party! Thankfully Nathan and Jason helped me. I noticed that you slept (well I'm hoping it was you haha) in your room. I'm glad you used it.
I can't wait to hear from you Vic.
Love, T

Hi Vic, I'm really sad you're still mad at me. Don't you think you've punished me enough? Not having any news from you is truly horrible. And I don't know what to do at this point. So I'll just keep writing you and tell you about my days.
Yesterday I was on babysitting duty for Harry and Ginny. And because I was "already at it" Ron and Hermione decided to drop Rose and Hugo too. I'd like to say it was a fun day but … you know how those little monsters operate, we used to babysit them together. There is power in number and I was truly outnumbered, this is really a two people job. Lily and Rose were, as usual, charming because they're "so in love with me" but I noticed that the boys only use to behaved because you were there. Without you, they changed into pure devils. They didn't care for me, especially James. But I still love them, I just was exhausted at the end of the day. And I didn't even get paid. What I wouldn't do for family.
Changing the subject, the boys and I will be leaving tomorrow for the camping trip. I think Alice decided to come with us after all. I'm just hoping that without you it won't be too weird having her hang with us. You know how crucial you are to our group's dynamic.
Yours forever,
Love, T

Hi Victoire! Teddy probably told you that I decided to still go on the camping trip with them. We just arrived today. I'm writing from what should have been our tent, but now it's just me. I miss you plenty even though the guys are lovely with me. Especially Teddy, did you ask him to take care of me or something? Anyway, I wish you were here with me, the place is great and I spotted some very cute boys when we arrived. I'm guessing life in France isn't as exciting, but I'm sure you will survive it and come back to us quickly! You're only supposed to stay until mid- August, right? We will be back from camping by then, but we will still have plenty of time to hang out and do cool stuff together!
XOXO, Alice
(your BFF just in case you had already forgotten me!)

Hello Vic! I know, I know I haven't written in 10 days. I'm a bad friend, but we had already established that. And might I remind you, you haven't actually answered to any of my previous letters, so I'm even starting to doubt if you're getting them. Did your grandmother lock you behind bars and not allow you a pen and some paper? Haha, I'm only joking (I feel really stupid having this one-sided conversation, I try to imagine what you'd say, but it's harder than it seems).
The camping trip is really fun, we made plenty of friends from all over the world, students who are going to Ilvermorny in the USA or Beauxbatons in France. You would have gotten just fine with the Beauxbatons boys I think ;)
Anyway, I know I was worried about how Alice would behave without you here, but she's actually very funny and she's completely integrated. Not that she wasn't before, but you know what I mean. She kind of always stayed in your shadow. I think she likes being the only girl in the group, being the center of attention and all. But I'm sure she misses you dearly as well, she talks about you a lot. It's just nice to discover that wilder side of her for once I guess.
Have you made any progress on your Veela power? Do you think you'll have to say until mid-August like it was planned? Please, give me some news Vic, I'm dying to hear from you.
Love, T

Hello sweet Victoire, it's me again! I decided to write this letter while I'm drunk and I will probablly regret sending it in the mornning haha! Anyway, the guys, Alice and me ahve just come back from the best party ever! There was this giant fire in te middel of the camp, with evryone dancing or playing music. You would have looooooved it. I really really really missed you tonight, I wish we could have danced togeter, cause I know you like to dance. But then I probably would have kissed you. I always want to kiss yuo when we dance or when we're close. But you're my best mate, I don't want to hurt you. I love you so much.
I think I better go, Nahtan and Alice are waiting for me. Jason has found himslef a cute witch from Castelobruxo or something like that. It's the school in south America he said. You would probably know. So I'm going back to me bottle of firewhiskey, even though the party is over.
Love you, T

Hello Vic, I think I sent you a letter earlier this morning (like really early). I don't really remember what I was saying but probably something stupid. So please, don't take the previous letter too seriously and actually, if you haven't read it yet, don't open it and burn it haha! Anyway, we went to a great party and I got really drunk. I'm feeling terrible this morning and you're not here to make me you're special after party brew. Jason didn't sleep in our tent but that only meant more space for me and Nathan!
Today we will take it slow and get some rest. We have an excursion to a waterfall planned for tomorrow, muggle style (that means actually walking there). I'll try to take a picture and send it to you.
Love, T

Victoire! I'm so excited I don't actually know where to start. Teddy and I kissed! It happened yesterday at a party. We were just really drunk and I was seating next to him because I was tired from dancing and he looked sad. And then he just kissed me! I don't really know what to do now, I mean I don't want this to ruin our little group, but I think I'd like to date him. Do you think he will ask me out? Does he talk about me with you? What if he only wanted a holiday fling? Or if he doesn't remember kissing me? What if he wants to have sex? I'm so stressed Vic, I swear. I wish you were here, I'd really need a girlfriend right now.
XOXO, Alice

We're officially together! Me and Teddy I mean haha! I actually asked him out! I know that's' bold but I just fancy him you know? He's so nice to me, and he's smoking hot! Well, I'm not teaching you anything I guess. We're actually going on a date just the two of us tomorrow, we're going back to a waterfall we went to a couple days ago. It's such a magical place you know, it's gonna be perfect!
I just wanted to write you a quick update! I hope you're still holding on in France!
XOXO, Alice (Teddy's girlfriend!)

Hi Vic! The camping trip is coming to an end, only one more week. Do you know if you will come back next week too? Or do you have to stay longer?
We've been having a lot of fun recently, we visited a muggle town, played some Quidditch and partied some more.
Also, I suppose Alice told you, but we're going out... I know it's unexpected coming from me, but we've had some great moments together and I feel like it could work. She's the one who asked me out actually and I found that … charming I guess. I don't think I would have done it otherwise. I mean I know she's your best friend, so don't go telling her, but I'm not quite in love yet. But I definitively like her and that seems like a good beginning. I know what you'd say to me Vic, "you better treat her right Edward Lupin, or I swear to Merlin that I will have your head". So here I am, swearing that I'll try my best to make this work and not hurt her.
Love, T

Victoire! We did it! I had sex with Teddy. I mean, I know it's too soon, but I just wanted to enjoy my summer and make some lasting memories. I guess that's one I'll never forget! I don't really want to go over the details in a letter (Merlin knows who could read it), I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. When will that be actually? You haven't replied to any of my letters, so I'm wondering what happened to you. Anyway, just know that Teddy was perfect and took great care of me, so no need to be furious with him on my behalf okay?
XOXO, Alice

Hello Vic, I've just made it back home and I'm shattered. This camping trip was the best and we should definitely go back next year, with you this time! I've just heard from your mom that you decided to stay in France a bit longer. How long exactly? I really want to see you, I miss my best friend badly.
I'm eating with the Potters tonight, George and Angelina tomorrow, your parents tomorrow and Ron and Hermione in two days. Now that I'm back, everyone wants a piece of me! Of course, I'm invited to the Burrow next Sunday with the rest of the family. You'll be the only one missing.
I bought you a souvenir from the muggle town we went to. It's anything special, but it made me think of you. I'm not telling you what it is because I don't want to spoil the surprise!
Oh, and I have now very boring brown hair. I know, blue is my thing but Alice said she liked brown better.
Miss you very much,
Love, T

Victoire, you're still in France! I thought we would at least have a week together, but I guess I was wrong. I'm not too mad at you though cause I've got Teddy and I can do things with him that I can't do with you, if you know what I mean ;)
I'll see you at King's Cross then I guess!
XOXO, Alice

I was made Headboy! Isn't that great? I just know that this year is going to be great! First of all, you'll be back so that will start things smoothly!
I was thinking about meeting you at the Shell Cottage when you come back from France on the 1st of September but Dominique said it wasn't such a good idea. Something about it being a family privilege (Am I not part of your family ?) But I don't want to risk the wrath of the mighty Dominique, so I'll just meet you right at the beginning of platform 9¾, directly after the magical passage.
Send me an owl back to tell me if it's okay with you?
Love, T
