Half a year later, Christmas holidays
It was the Christmas holidays for the school of Beuxbatons and the same for Hogwarts. Lorcan, or Lory as Viktor now called him after the insistence from his daughter, had come over to stay for a week or so.
Viktor listened as his daughter taught the gangly teenager how to speak French and chuckled when he heard the young man's attempt on the airy noises that were needed to be made when 'r' was pronounced.
"Dad, don't tease him," Ivanka said, looking at her boyfriend apologetically.
"Nah, it's all right. I probably sound really stupid."
Viktor gave the young man a smile whilst a thought of how similar to he was to his mother went through his head. His head jerked around immediately when the door opened, revealing a moody looking Atanas.
"How was the game?" Ivanka asked him.
"Shit." he replied. "Coach Petrov has threatened to drop me from the team if I don't get my act together. Says I've been behaving stupidly."
"And that you have." Viktor said firmly. He felt bad for failing his wife as he knew that she wouldn't tolerate the behavior his son had at the moment. "Quidditch is what you live for isn't it? Don't throw it away just like that because you are famous and have a rich and famous father."
He had scolded his son to nicely. He wasn't really paying attention.
A smile came to Viktor as he remembered something and he had a feeling that his son was up for it.
"We have to go out for dinner today, dress nicely." he told his son.
"I'm not going."
"But it's Hermione- I mean Mrs. Weasley who invited us."
"That's because you like her."
"As a friend." Viktor said firmly.
"I'm not going."
"Rosey's going to be there, right Daddy?" Ivanka asked, as she tied Lory's ear length hair into tiny pigtails.
Viktor watched for his son's response.
He saw the look of surprise in his son's eyes and the same kind of happiness.
"Do I have to?" Atanas asked.
"Daddy says so and besides, Lory and I are planning to announce to the Weasley's that we're an item." Ivanka said.
Lorcan blushed at this and muttered about something to quite to hear.
"We'll be leaving in four hours."
