Chapter 4: last day of summer.

"Vic, Vic, VIC! Wake up."

Victoire awoke to someone shaking her shoulders and shouting at her.

"Hey waz 'z big idea?"

"Vic if we don't get to the house now we aren't going to make it before the kids wake up and you know how James is with his taunts. Lucky for me I don't have to live with him for the next 9 months. But hey it's your call."

"Your evil you know that?"

"No I'm just trying to save you from loads of taunts."

Victoire groaned and stood up. She ached everywhere.

Stupid damn floor. Stupid damn boyfriend making me sleep on the stupid damn floor.

Victoire checked her watch.

7am!! Stupid damn boyfriend. Making me get up at this stupid damn hour.

They made their way back to the back door that leads to the kitchen and crept through it.

Victoire whispered, "I hate you for making me wake up at 7am. Why did I have to go out with an early riser? No one is even awake at 7am on a Sunday morning!"

"Oh really. I'm up, don't I count as someone?"

Teddy and Victoire froze. Shit! They thought at the same time.

"Hey there's no need for language. Do you forget that I'm a legilimens?"

"No Harry. We were just surprised to see you that's all," Teddy said in an innocent voice.

"Clearly. But Teddy there's no need for the innocent voice because we both know you're anything but innocent."

"I resent that. Just remember that cute little baby you used to look after."

"Actually, I would jump to the little brat I used to look after while Ginny was pregnant with Al."

Teddy laughed. "Fair enough."

"I suggest that you both go change before Ginny catches you."

They didn't need telling twice, just the mere thought of what Ginny would do to them if the were caught made them shudder.

"Uncle Harry?"

"Um, what is it Victoire?"

"Well I was wondering if you would let me and Teddy go out for a bit tonight to meet up with our friends. You know as a kind of last day of summer get together."

"But Teddy has already graduated," he said smiling widely at her. He saw the begging look on her face and the puppy-dog eyes. "Well I suppose but promise you will come in earlier than last night."

She squealed and hugged her uncle. "I promise. Thankyou Uncle Harry. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou." And she ran out the room to tell Teddy.

"Teddy he said yes!" she screamed running into his room.

"That's fantastic but how did you sugar coat going to a club, getting plastered and waking up tomorrow morning with a hangover looking like shit?"

Victoire just laughed. "Er, going out with some friends for a last day of summer get together."

Teddy shook his head. What a fantastic girl!

"see you later guys. Don't wait up ok? Victoire shouted up the stairs at 8 o'clock that evening.

"Ok have fun." Ginny shouted back.

As soon as they were out of site of the house Victoire transfigured her jeans and pink t-shirt back into her denim cut-off shorts and pink halter neck.

"Wow," was all Teddy could say.

"You like it?"

"I'm speechless. Nice transfiguration too."

Victoire just flashed him a cheeky smile and set off walking down the street. It took them half an hour to get to where they were meeting Victoire's friends.

"Hey guys," she shouted.

"Oh my god Vicky you look great," a tall brunette called Emma said.

"Hey Teddy," a flirtatious blonde called Leah said.

"Back off Leah. He's seeing someone." Victoire called.

"Ha yer, like I'm gonna fall for that again."

"Funny you should since it's me he's seeing."

Teddy shot her a grateful smile while Leah slinked off.

"Why am I the only dateless one here?"

"Maybe you could hit on a guy a the club, but we had better get going because I intend to get plastered and my mum wants me home for midnight," said a guy with black hair. Probably Emma's new boyfriend, Teddy thought.

"Ok let's get this show on the road!" Emma shouted.

"I'll go get drinks," Teddy shouted over the loud music. They all nodded and found a table near the bar.

"I'll go help, see you in a mo."

"Hey, need some help?" Victoire asked.

"Hey yourself, and yes could you take these to Leah and Emma?"

"Sure."

Around two hours and twenty dances later Teddy, Victoire and Leah were all sitting around their table already drunk.

"Now I remember when Teddy was ten and it was during the winter when I-"

"Er, I don't think we need to hear the end of that story."

"Or what?"

"Or I will tell her about the time when you were twelve and I came over at the moment when your dad was chasing Doxys don the hall-"

"Okay, Okay. I'll stop."

"Thought you might," Teddy grinned while receiving a death stare from her. He leaned over slightly, intending on kissing her, and fell off his chair.

"Shit! He had better not have passed out. Oh fucking hell he has."

"How are you going to get him home?"

"I have no idea but I told my uncle that we would be back by midnight so I have some time to wake him up."

"Not long it took us half an hour to get here and its half an hour to get back to your uncles house. So I would say you had half an hour to wake him and get him ready to walk."

"Perfect just perfect. Can you go to the bathrooms and fill that empty glass with water please?"

Victoire watched her go then turned her attention back to Teddy.

Uncle Harry is going to kill me!! I need another drink!

"Here," Leah said holding out the glass of water.

Victoire took it and poured it over his face. A moment later Teddy started to stir and sat up.

"Thank god. Get us another couple of drinks will you. I know I need one or two."

"I wanna go home an' see ma duck. Fred will be so lonely without me."

"Er ok Teddy, we will take you home to see Fred soon. Where is Leah I really need a drink."

As if on cue Leah walked over with two drinks in her hand. Victoire took both of them and downed them all in one go.

"Wow. You really did need another drink."

"Uh huh. Look after Teddy while I go find the other guys to go home before he starts searching for his duck. Don't ask," she added seeing her friend's confused face.

Around five minutes later Victoire came back with Emma and Sam (her date) to find Leah and Teddy sitting at the table playing rock, paper, scissors. Teddy apparently was winning 7 to 3.

"Right then ready to go home?" said Victoire slurring her words slightly.

"Huh? I guess." Although Leah didn't want to go home she was glad that her game was over.

An hour later they arrived at home, both smelling of alcohol, giggling like mad and swaying around.

"Shh, Teddy we don't want to wake the folks up."

They then started making their way up the stairs. The first bed room they came to was Victoire's.

"Okay, this is me. Night Ted." She stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss. That kiss turned into a snog. Which turned into them booth going into her bedroom de-clothing themselves and falling onto the bed.
