Chapter Four Chapter Four

Our date had been perfect. At the end of my seventh year, Victiore cried. I promised her that I would find a way to get into school to see her. This was still a secret relationship and I planned on telling no one. On the train ride home we sat together. She cried on my shoulder and I comforted her. This was hard for me too.

That summer I stayed mainly with my grandmother. I visited Harry and Ginny with their new baby, James Sirius Potter. He was so cute. Babies had always been a favorite of mine. I don't care much for older children. Of course when I was with Harry he passed in something to me that my father had created, our fathers had created. The Maruaders' Map was now in my hands. I knew how to get in to Hogwarts to see Victiore.

When she left for her sixth year, I went to see her off. Bill and Fleur suspected nothing, yet anyway. Obviously my girlfriend had not told them and I certainly hadn't. Bill Weasley would not approve of me dating his sixteen year old daughter. I was two years older and much more mature. He had a point, but I knew I would never hurt his daughter.

We snogged for the first time in her dorm. It was magnificent. Everything between us fell into place. The topic of her parents was only brought up twice. Both times we agreed that they need know nothing.

I had a heck of a time trying not to get caught. I doubt that Professor McGonagall would approve of me being there. As much as the Weasley girl appreciated the trouble I went to, I couldn't wait until she was out of school too. Then we could run away together and get married. I decided that next year I would ask her to do that. Not until the end, but I needed to know sooner than that.

Victiore made sure the common room was empty when I came in. We always went straight to her dorm. I was in love with this girl and she was in love with me. As the year drew to an end, we made plans to see each other over the holidays. I came to get her off the train. As her stunning figure alighted the train, I was holding Louis. He was a skinny four year old, so I had no trouble. He called to his sisters and I had to let him down.

Victiore ran to me. Her father's back was turned so I swooped her up in my arms. This was going to be one of the best summers of my life.
