When Teddy went off to Hogwarts, nine-year-old Victoire cried. She cried so much it was unlike her, and everyone was concerned about their Vicki. She cried until Teddy came to visit when he was home for Christmas.
Her heart fluttered when she saw him; she ran on her short legs over to him, jumping and making him catch her.
"You prat, I missed you." She released him finally and smacked him over the back of the head, lightly, affectionately. He knew that.
"I missed you, too," he said. "It's boring without you. But in two years, you'll be there with me. Then you can cause all kinds of trouble."
"I will," she said, and two years later, it was true.
