Age 13 and 14

Victoire picked a bunch of potatoes up and placed them in a basket. Dominique was behind her picking a bunch of carrots and peas. Louis was busy running behind his two older sister picking whatever they dropped. Victoire had her mind on something else; Teddy Lupin. The boy had been avoiding her ever since she hit puberty. The two of them used to spend so much time together growing up and him avoiding her made her feel awkward. Other boys were starting to look at her differently. They whistled at her when she walked down the hall. Teddy on the other hand rolled his eyes and started avoiding her in the hall. He even avoided eye contact with her in the Great Hall during meals. Victoire finally confronted him on the way home for their summer break. Teddy acted different around her, stuttering and acting like a fool.

Victoire sighed and shifted the basket over to her hip. Her family was getting ready for their family friend Luna Lovegood's wedding. Teddy got asked to the wedding, but somehow managed to get out of helping everyone get ready.

"Victoire get your head out of the clouds and get a move on." Dominique exclaimed rushing by her older sister, with Louis right on her heels

"Victoire!" Lily shouted running across the lawn to her older cousin

"Why Lily, I didn't know you guys were here." Victoire responded, setting the basket down and squatting so she was face to face with the young red head

"Dad just brought us. Albus is inside and James went off to go help Dom." Lily shrugged

"So are you going to help me then?"

"No," The little girl giggled

"No?" Victoire asked smirking "Then who is?

"Him." Lily giggled pointing to the fence before taking off

Victoire tilted her head to the side in confusion and then turned around to find Teddy's face in hers. She nearly fell over, but she caught her balance and couldn't help but smile a little seeing Teddy's smirk before her. The two of them hadn't seen each other since the train ride back from Hogwarts a few weeks ago. He had been spending the summer so far with his grandmother while Victoire had been with her family planning their trip to France.

"Are you just going to sit there and stare at the sun Teddy Lupin or are you going to help get ready for the wedding?" She asked shifting her basket to one hip

"Na I figured I'd watch all the pretty girls do it." Teddy blushed realizing what he had just said "I mean you and all of your family."

"You know that you're a part of this family too Mr. Lupin." Victoire commented in a matter of fact voice

"Maybe but I find it more funner to watch you all do the work."

"Funner isn't a word Theodore it's more fun." Victoire noted raising her eyebrows

"You were defiantly put in the right house Victoire." Teddy said rolling his eyes

"Brains get you far in this world Teddy. You should try using yours sometime." She snapped before walking away

Teddy hopped off of the fence and ran after Victoire like a little puppy. "Vic I was just kidding around. You're not mad are you?"

"No I'm not mad at what you said! I'm mad at you!" She snapped spinning around so their faces were only inches apart

"Me? What did I do?" Teddy demanded

"You for some reason this year have been avoiding me. I don't even get an explanation. And when I do try to talk to you, you can't even keep your mind on one topic for more than a few seconds. What's with you?" She demanded

Teddy could see so much of Molly in her young grand-daughter. He suddenly became shy, turned a light shade of red, and ran his fingers through his hair which was becoming a light shade of purple.

"Vic, you've been changing. I don't know if you've seen it but I sure have. You're becoming really pretty. All my friends talk about you. They all say you shouldn't want anything to do with me anymore. You're going to become a lady and all this crap. I don't want to lose my best friend."

She let out a laugh and set the basket down. Victoire took his hands as she spoke to him "Oh Teddy. You're never going to lose me. We're going to be best friends until we die. I don't care if I'm changing. I'm still the same girl deep down."

Teddy turned an even darker shade of red as Victoire let go of his hands and walked inside to help Fleur and Ginny out with a few last minute things. He watched as she walked away. He wasn't quite sure but he believed he was starting to develop a crush on his best friend.
