Alright, I should be studying for my science test… but I love updating more!
"Kitty, please open up the door!" said Rose, kneeling by Kitty's closed bedroom door.
Nothing happened and Lara and Rose exchanged worried glances.
"Listen Kit," continued Rose, "we just want to know what is going on. Please, please open up the door. It is just Lara and I here, and we are very worried about you."
There was a click and the door was unlocked.
The girls entered the room to see Kitty lying on her bed. She was on her back and the wrong way around, with her hands covering her face.
"What happened," whispered Rose as she sat down on the bed, gently pulling Kitty's hands away.
Kitty sighed and told them everything, just leaving out the part of her confusion over her feelings for James.
"Kitty," began Lara as she joined her and Rose on the bed, "I think you should just leave the matter for a while. Let James cool off. When he has, then you can try and talk to him. Okay?"
Kitty nodded and sat up.
"So, what do you guys want to do today?"

Later that day, everyone was sitting in the family room. The parents had insisted that everyone was there to connect with the family.
James was sitting in a corner with Albus and Jack, only half listening to what they were saying. He kept looking over to Fred and Kitty.
Fred was sitting at the other side of the room, but he also was not paying attention and was glancing over to James and Kitty.
Kitty felt their eyes burning into her, but she tried to ignore them as she wrote a rather long letter to her sister. Lara and Rose were sitting next to her, playing chess.
"James is looking at you again." Whispered Lara, studying the chess board,
Kitty bit her lip, "I wish they would stop doing that!" she hissed, giving in and looking up at him. As soon as their eyes met he quickly looked at Albus again, pretending to be engrossed in the conversation.
"You know what, I give up." She said, standing up and placing her letter on a table.
"Where are you going?" asked Rose as she walked away. Kitty turned around as said,
"Fixing this mess!"
"This ought to be good. Oh, and it's your move," said Lara
They watched as Kitty walked over to Fred and grabbed his arm, roughly pulling him up. She then pushed and pulled him over to James where she attempted to also get her hands on him.
"Come on, I have had enough of you two dimwits!"
James glared at her and she glared right back. He sighed, giving up, and walked out of the room. Kitty then dragged a protesting Fred with her towards the garden.

"Right," said Kitty, letting go of Fred and turning to face the boys. They were glaring at each other dangerously, making Kitty want to scream.
"I do not personally appreciate this whole guy possession thing, but I care enough about both of you, strangely enough, to say this. No girl what so ever is worth fighting with each other for. And the stupid thing is, technically it is not fighting over a damn girl! So, listen closely Potter and hear what I am saying. There is nothing going on with Fred and I. So this stupid fight," she continued, waving her hands dramatically in the air, "is ridiculous!"
"Oh, yeah and what about that little display of evection I saw." Sneered James,
Kitty groaned, "Oh my word, it is actually none of your damn business and I don't have to explain myself to you. But, like I said, I will say this. That was nothing! I said something shocking and Fred gave me a hug. Wow, the apocalypse is happening." She finished dryly.
Kitty glared at them both one last time, just for good measure, before she walked back into the house and living room to finish her letter.
James turned to look at Fred as she disappeared from view.
"Is this true," he whispered. Fred's head shot up from the ground and he nodded,
"Yes, merlin, James, I don't like Kitty like that. She might not like it, but she is your girl."
James nodded and they fell into a stony silence.
"Do you want to discuss pranks?" broke Fred the silence with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Hell, yeah!" came the reply.

Fred and James were walking back to the house when a loud crack was heard and Teddy and Victiorie appeared out of nowhere.
"Teddy, my man!" said James, hugging his almost-brother.
"And Victiorie, of course." He went on, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Mate," said Fred looking at a nervous Teddy, after he too had greeted them, "are you alright?"
Teddy only nodded and grabbed Victiorie's hand, gently pulling her towards the door.
She smiled weakly and placed a hand on his shoulder, "It's going to be fine, I think…"
Fred and Teddy just looked at each other and shrugged, trailing after them.
Immediately shouts of "Victiorie!" and "Teddy!" were heard as they entered into the room. After many greetings and other exchanges, James noted that Teddy winced every time someone hugged Victiorie, everyone settled down, but the couple remained standing.
All eyes were on them as they nervously stood in front of their gigantic family.
"Umm," became Victiorie timidly, but Teddy busted the news out first, clearly stuck between nervousness and excitement,
"Victiorie's pregnant!"
The reply was instant. Bill frowned and if looks could kill, Teddy would have already been six foot under.
Most of the girls, mostly women, squealed with delight and endless rounds of congratulations were given out.
After everyone had quieted down, this took quite some time, everyone picked up a glass of champagne or juice, or in Bill's case, firewiskey.
He stood up and sighed, "I guess my little girl is growing up. Well, I wish you both the best of luck. To Teddy, Victiorie and their new baby!"
Everyone raised their glasses and cheered to them. Victiorie ran to her father and embraced him in an emotional hug. It may have been the light, but Bill's eyes were slightly watering.
"Dominique!" yelled Kitty excitedly and motioned to the older girl to come to her. When Dominique had done so, Kitty locked her arms with her and turned towards Lara and Rose.
"We told you so!" they sang and held out their hands for their money. Teddy laughed as he stood a few paces away with a loving arm around Victiorie.
"You betted on us?" he asked amused, walking towards them.
"Unfortunately," said Rose and Victiorie laughed,
"What was the actual bet on?"
Dominique smiled excitedly, "That you and Teddy will get pregnant before the end of next year. I knew you guys would not be able to keep your hands of off each other." She finished shrugging.
Victiorie and Teddy blushed and quickly excused themselves.
"Oh, to be young and embarrassed!" sang Kitty, winking at Dominique.
"Oh and guys," said Dominique, turning towards Lara and Rose, "Three days before school starts for you, that is d-date."
This was only met with a groan from both parties.

Things fell back into a more normal routine after that. Well, as normal as it could be with the Weasley clan.
The 'grown-ups' were going on their annual night over at a hotel, leaving the kids who where attending Hogwarts to escape parental influence and bond. The kids that were not in Hogwarts were at friends or other family's houses for their own protection. The only supervision that was provided was Teddy and Victiorie.
Early in the morning the 'grown-ups' departed. An hour or so later, everyone was awake.
"I'm hungry!" wined Hugo and all the boys immediately agreed.
Rose rolled her eyes and turned to Kitty and Lara,
"How about we make them flapjacks and bacon?"
"We make them, or Kitty makes them and we just help and talk?" asked Lara amused, Rose laughed and replied, "The latter, of course!" pulling Kitty and Rose into the kitchen.
Kitty joined in with her laughter and started getting things out of the cupboards.
While she was mixing the egg and sugar, Rose started questioning Lara about her and Albus.
"So, Lara, how many times have you two kissed?"
Lara blushed and jokingly said, "Excuse me! I think I am entitled to privacy!"
"Oh, come on!" pushed Rose,
"Hu-uh!" shook Lara her head, "That is for me to know and for you to find out."
"Fine, is he a good kisser than…" asked Rose after a few minutes, Lara turned to look at her with wide eyes,
"Rose! Fine, yes he is a good kisser! Can we please talk about something else now?"
"No, I want to hear this!" said Kitty from her place next to the stove.
"Do my ears deceive me, or did Kitty just say that?" asked Lara teasingly. Kitty smiled and said,
"Lara, I love you and all, but I am not going to clean out your ears!"
"I did not mean that! It is just not very, well, you to say that."
"Well, I am entering my late teenage, I would think it is about time."
"It is about bloody time for both of you." Laughed Rose, earning her a light hearted smack from Lara and Kitty.
"And to think I call you my best friends! I can receive more love from my bloody brother!" she said, mocking hurt. Just then Fred and Jack walked in and she ran pretentious into Fred's arms.
"Whoa!" said Fred surprised looking down at Rose,
"They don't love me!" she said, pouting.
"Aw, poor little Rosie-poise." He said, wrapping his arms around her and swinging her from side to side.
"Now get away." He continued, pushing her off of him.
Rosie huffed and stuck out her tongue at him.
"When are they ready?" she asked, looking at Kitty.
Kitty frowned and peered at the bowl.
"Five more minutes, take these little scoundrels and set the table, please."
"Kitty," said Jack, mock clutching his heart, "we may be scoundrels, yes, but we are definitely not little!"
"Fine, you are a big, bad wolf."
"I am not appreciating your tone of voice young lady!" said Jack, pretending to be stern.
Kitty raised an eyebrow at him, placing her one hand on her hip and swinging the spatula around dramatically,
"I may be young, yes, but I am definitely not a lady."
"Oh, really?" asked James as he walked into the kitchen,
"Out!" said Kitty immediately,
"Why?" asked James,
"Because I know you, Potter and I am baking. This means that I do not want to be thrown with food or teased mercifully, leading me to be distracted and burn these flapjacks and bacon. So kindly take your little boys and get out."
"Fine," he said with a smirk on his face, he pushed a protesting Fred and Jack out, but not before Jack could yell,
"We are not little!"
"If I can accept it, so can you, Jackie!" she yelled back.
"Kitty!" said Lara,
"What?"
"The flapjacks!"

Soon enough the breakfast was ready and everyone was sitting at the breakfast table.
"Maple syrup and cream… lots of it" said Lucy eyeing Kitty's plate. It was true for her pancakes were practically swimming in it.
Kitty only nodded enthusiastically, taking a bite and letting out a small satisfying moan.
James could feel the hair at the back of his neck stand up and he tried to shake his head and concentrate on his food.
When everyone was done eating the boys were told (read: forced) to clear the table, while the girls chatted amicable.
"So, how about we go for a swim or something?"
"Are you mad? It is late August, no time for swimming!"
"Oh merlin, Roxy stop being so uptight, I was only suggesting."
"I agree with her, way too cold for such a thing."
"Yeah, yeah miss South Africa…"
"You know I am Italian, right?"
"Like you make us forget it…"
"Rose!"
Kitty laughed as everyone playfully bantered and she could not help but feel happy.
"Kitty," someone said behind her making her look behind her, seeing nothing she continued listening to the girls conversation.
"You were right about me in one way, at least." Said the person again and Kitty recognized the voice as James's. Before she could react, he roughly wiped his hands across her cheeks.
She jumped in surprise and felt her cheeks. They were covered with flour.
Kitty whipped around to see James standing there with a handful of flour, smirking at her.
"What are you-"she did not finish her sentence when he grabbed her waist and pulled her into him. She yelped and tried to escape, but he pulled her back by her arms. He ran his flour covered hands all over her arms and neck, making her yell, struggle and laugh at the same time.
When he was done he quickly let go of her and ran into the kitchen. Kitty stood there blinking for a few seconds, before she yelled,
"I am going to kill you, Potter!" running after him.
Hey, so two friends and I had to do a science practical and it was required that we tape it and hand it in on the day. My friend then went and put it on you tube and it is short and kind of sweet, so if you want to view it the link is http:/ www (dot) youtube (dot) com/watch?v=WqfphmbU1Pw just replace the (dot)'s with actually dots. We would really appreciate you watching!
