A/N: Wassup? I just couldn't resist. I had to write this chapter. I blame you guys. Thanks for my reviews guys! I appreciate the critique (I will try to make longer chapters) and the fact that I know someone out there really appreciates my writing really means a lot. I check my reviews at least five times a day and seeing a new review just really makes me ecstatic.
ALSO A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Okay now that I have your attention, school is starting for me (tomorrow in fact) and I won't have as much time to post. I'm taking a ton of classes and there's going to be a lot of work, so I can only promise a chapter about once a week. I'll try for weekend chapters, because I know not many people even have time to even read my updates. So that's that. I hope you enjoy this chapter because I do; it's one of my favorites.

Previously on "A Classic Love Story", "We know hon! But sometimes, taking risks ends up working out beautifully! Aliyah and Jon would've never gotten together if she hadn't told him how she felt about him!" I looked at Rachelle who was giving me a sympathetic look. I grinned at her and started running towards the castle.
"Once again, you're right. I have to go find Teddy!" I called over my shoulder.
"And tell him what?"
"Yes!"
Caution: Copious amounts of fluff ahead. Go carefully and wear goggles.
I reached the castle, panting and tired. Now to find Teddy. Classes were long over, he wouldn't be in the Gryffindor common room because he had his own Head's common room, and I didn't know where it was. I sighed. He probably would have told me if I hadn't fought with him. Great.
Wait a second. The map! James had it! I was sure. I ran towards the Gryffindor common room and up, what seemed like, millions of flights of stairs. I had been up here a lot in previous years to visit my sister and my cousins and Teddy. However, the password changed every month or so and I had no idea what it was.
Luckily my cousin, Roxanne, was standing outside the common room talking to one of her friends. She waved goodbye to her friend as I ran up to her.
"Roxanne!" I panted. I really needed to get in shape. She smirked at me.
"Hey cuz."
"Listen! I need to find James! He has the map and I need it!" If possible, her smirk grew even wider.
"Are you sure James has the map?"
"He had it last." I said, growing frustrated. What was her issue?
"Well well well! I see Ted was correct." Why wasn't she in Slytherin? Devious little snake. I pulled out my wand. Yes it was crazy and desperate, but I was crazy and desperate! Right when I was about to hex her into next week, she put up her arms, but she didn't look afraid in the slightest.
"Lucy has it."
"What?"
"Lucy. Has the map." I put my wand back in my pocket.
"Oh. Do you possibly have any idea where she is dear cousin?" I asked, giving her my most magnificent smile.
"Ravenclaw tower last time I checked."
"Alright! Thanks Roxy!" I hugged her. She pulled away from me.
"Don't get too excited yet cuz, the party's just getting started." And with that, she told the fat lady the password (chocolate frogs), and walked into the common room, winking at me.
And then I ran to the other side of the castle and up to the Ravenclaw tower. Why did it have to be so high up?
The knocker spoke, "What is it that no man ever sees, what always was, but is always to be?" I had to think a little for that one, but I finally got it.
"Tomorrow!" I said triumphantly.
"Well thought," the knocker replied. I ran into the common room and looked around wildly. Lucy was sitting on the couch talking to Molly, her older sister. Both of them looked downright devious. This was to be expected from Lucy, but from Molly? That had the shock value akin to that of Uncle Harry's hair staying down without a potion or a spell.
"Alright you snakes." I spat. "What is going on here?"
Lucy answered me.
"Oh please. What type of Ravenclaw are you if you can't figure it out?"
"Huh?"
"Listen, I'm not going to beat around the bush here. I don't have the map. Domi has it."
"Domi? As in my sister?"
"Is there any other?" Molly drawled. I hated them. The whole lot of them.
"Where is she?"
"You tell me. Weren't you with her last?" Molly asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course! She's at the Marauder's tree! Thanks!" I didn't waste time on hugs and walked out the door. I was still really tired, okay? As I left, I could've sworn I heard Lucy saying,
"Dom, she's headed your way. You know what to do." I chalked it up to dehydration and left quickly. I ran all the way down the stairs and out through the doors. I cast a quick Tempus; it was 4:00.
I saw everyone still sitting by the tree, chatting. Dominique looked surprised to see me. Yeah right.
"All right, what's going on? Do you have the map or not?" Everyone looked surprised by my bluntness.
"No Vic, I was under the impression that James had it."
"Well he doesn't." Aliyah spoke up.
"Remember Dom? Fred has the map! He took it from James for some prank!"
"Oh right!"
"Cut the small talk. Where's Fred?" This time Hailey spoke up.
"I saw him on my way out here. I think he went to the kitchens!"
"Are you sure he said that?" And this time, Rachelle spoke up.
"Yeah that makes sense! I saw him headed into the Great Hall!"
"Yeah me too!" Ella said. I glared suspiciously at them. Something was up. Was this some type of huge prank from my family and friends? I didn't have time for this! I had to see Teddy!
"Alright then," was all I said. I dashed into the castle and hurried into the Great Hall. I tickled the pear and saw Fred eating at a small wooden table, talking to James.
"Well hello dear cousin, you look wonderful today as usual." As if. I probably looked like a train wreck from running everywhere. I sat down at the wooden table in between James and Fred. I decided to cut to the chase.
"Where's the map?" and then James and Fred smirked. I was so frustrated and mad that I just snapped. I stood up abruptly, pulled out my wand, and pointed it at the two of them. I must've looked seriously deranged because they looked like they were going to wet themselves and it takes a lot to scare those two.
"Listen, you little worms! I've gone around this entire castle looking for the map just so I could find Teddy! Everyone has been nothing but devious! I swear you guys should all be Slytherins!" Fred took a deep breath.
"Look Vic, calm down. Put away the wand and sit down." I glared at him, but I pocketed my wand and sat down on the chair, crossing my arms.
"Why didn't you check the Head's common room?" Fred asked.
"Because I don't know where it is!"
"Well why didn't you ask any of us?" James inquired. "All of us Weasley-Potters know where the Head's common room is!" I sighed.
"Would you take me there?"
"Well, you have to say please."
"Please."
"All together now!" James said cheerfully.
"Would you take me to the Head's common room, please?" I bit out.
"Of course, my dearest and most favorite cousin," they chorused innocently. They each took one of my arms and pulled me out of the kitchens. They took me all the way up to near the Gryffindor tower stairs to a portrait of Sir Cadogan that I had probably passed a million times today alone.
"Hello dear gentleman and lady! How are you on this fine day? I remember the days when-"
"V. I. W" Fred spoke, cutting off Sir Cadogan. Cadogan simply glared and swung open.
"Here you are Vic! Remember that you have patrol later today!" I had totally forgotten I had patrol! I mean, usually I used the map for it and just sat in my room, but I still had no idea where the map is. How had Fred even known I had patrol? I turned to ask him, but he and James were gone. Hmm.
The common room looked much like the Gryffindor common room, but with three differences. The curtains were blue, the couches and carpet looked new, and there were rose petals on the ground. Wait second, rose petals? There was also a huge bouquet of roses on the center table with a note. It read,
Dear Vicki,
Have you finally discovered my trick? In case you hadn't noticed, I planned all of this, right down to where everyone was at what times. Yes, your friends were in on it. They're pretty good actors, yeah? Anyways, I'm sorry I made you run around the castle, but you know me. I'm always ready for a good prank. I hope you're not mad, and if you are mad, don't hex me. Last time you hexed me, my hair was long and frizzy for over a week, and you know there's nothing I love more than my hair. Except maybe you.
Love, Teddy
I smiled after I read it. How could I possibly upset after that letter? I picked up the flowers and smelt them.
"You like them?" A voice sounded behind me. I turned around to see Teddy looking right at me, smiling. His hair was bright pink like it was when he got embarrassed, and his eyes were blue. The exact same shade as mine were.
"I love them." He handed me the Marauders map.
"I believe you were looking for this." He said, smiling. I grinned and slapped him.
"Prat."
"And proud."
"So how'd you get my friends in on the idea?"
"Well they were in on it from the beginning, right after I had asked you. We wrote notes to each other on an enchanted parchment in class and planned the whole thing."
"Wow it takes dedication to pull that off."
"Yeah I suppose so. Now Vicki, what did you come here for?" I looked down, suddenly shy. I couldn't believe I was doing this!
"I came to give you my answer."
"And your answer is?"
"Yes." I whispered. He took a step closer to me and lifted my chin up with two fingers.
"I know," he replied, and kissed me gently on the forehead. I looked up at him, and before I could even process what I was doing, I pulled him down by his tie (because he is super tall) and snogged the shit out of that boy.
After a good five minutes, we pulled back, panting. I took a good look at him. His cheeks were flushed, his hair was hot pink, his lips were swollen, and his eyes looked like molten gold. He gave me a wolfish grin. I flushed.
"Victoire Isabella Weasley, you animal!" I slapped him upside the head, and before he could complain, I pulled him down for another kiss.
A/N: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN ALL STORY. OH MY WIZARD GOD! FINALLY! Ahem. I hope you liked the chapter! It's certainly my favorite. Did you guys notice that the password was Vicki's initials? Yeah that was on purpose. I'm sorry if you got cavities from the fluff. Review! PLEASE!
