Harry smiles as Victoire cuddles against him. Her small hand clutches his shirt in a tight grasp.
"Do you want to tell me what's bothering you?" he murmurs against her apple-scented hair.
Victoire's voice is soft when she speaks. "I'm worried that I can never be as perfect as mum and dad. They're war heroes. Dad is brave and so handsome. And mum is so beautiful and graceful. How can I compete with that?"
Harry rubs her back. From the past, he knows how soothing that can be. "Victoire, you are the best. You don't have to compete with your parents. Besides, I think you have the best parts of both of your parents. You're beautiful and kind like your mother, and you're brave and mischievous like your father. Don't worry about being as good as Bill and Fleur Weasley. Just focus on being the best Victoire Weasley that you can possibly be."
She looks at him with guileless blue eyes. "You think that's good enough?"
He kisses her forehead. "I don't think there's anything better," he promises.
Her hands leave his shirt and she wraps her arms around his neck in a tight hug. "I love you, Uncle Harry."
Harry returns the ferocious hug. "I love you, too, my little angel."
