A/N: Hey, next chapter! This one sorta explains and connectes the last one better to the story. It has some fluff, but also plays a part in the plot.

Diclaimer: Yup I own it! . . . .

. . . . . April Fools! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Seriously, not even close.

Getting Caught Up In Catching Up

"Alright, so how are we to go about this?" Xavier asked Ted as soon as they'd left McGonagall's Office.

Teddy opened his mouth to answer, but Austin spoke first, "What was up with your hands earlier, when you were arguing with Lucy, Victoire? It looked like they were about to be on fire or something."

Victoire openly stared at Austin. What is up with the stupid questions? "Um, I got angry."

Austin rolled his eyes and spoke as though he was talking to a two-year-old, "Yes. But why'd it look like your hands were on fire?"

"Really? And I thought you were a big, smart Ravenclaw?" Victoire said with a raised eyebrow.

Austin stared at her until she rolled her eyes. She decided to answer him because they weren't going to get anywhere otherwise, "I'm part Veela, and do you know anything about Veelas?"

"Yes, I'm not an idiot."

Victoire bit back her retort, "Veela are known to have short, wicked tempers. When they get angry, they can harness the power of fire and use it to their advantage. Throw fireballs and stuff like that. When I get angry, my hands start to create fire, sometimes without my knowledge."

Austin nodded and looked her up and down. Several times, like he was trying to decide what to make of her. He'd never really seen this side of her before. Sure he'd seen her when she was acting snobby and mean, but he'd never actually seen her angry or enraged like she was in the office. Pennington was actually trying to decide if she was worth chasing after anymore.

His staring was getting out of hand, so Teddy angrily cleared his throat. "We really need to get to work. If you don't want to of course you can go back to class, but I have an actual job to do." He narrowed his eyes at Austin. It was a silent challenge.

Austin looked back angrily. Teddy and he didn't get along well. Back in Victoire's fifth-year, (Teddy had been a seventh), Austin Pennington had tried to spike her drink with a love potion after failed attempts at getting her to give him the time of day. Vic had told him about the incident -it was only by fluke that she didn't actually drink the potion- she didn't go to any Professor with what happened because she preferred to deal with problems her own way. Teddy on the other hand, had been extremely livid that someone had tried to take advantage of his best friend. He ended up getting into a physical fistfight with Pennington after tossing a few curses at him. Professor Longbottom was the one to break it up and had taken them to McGonagall's office. The only part of the incident that they were able to keep secret was Victoire's involvement, she didn't get into any trouble, but both Teddy and Austin had gotten three weeks worth of detention. They'd hated each other ever since.

"Fine, how should we do this then, Mr Auror-in-training?" Austin almost snarled at him.

"Pairs would be best," Teddy said shortly. Trying to ignore Austin's presence and speaking to Xavier and Vic.

"Okay. Austin and I'll work together, and you and Vic can pair up," Xavier said easily, covertly winking at Victoire as he spoke.

Austin looked upset by his suggestion but he waggled his eyebrows at Victoire almost evilly, "Sure, I just thought that you'd want to be paired up with Victoire, Xavier. After all I've heard-"

Victoire cut him off unceremoniously. She shot Teddy a worried look when she saw him raise his eyebrows confused, "Sounds good to me. Let's go Teddy!" She grabbed his arm and started to drag him away.

"Wait! How are we going to separate the school areas?" Xavier asked before she'd dragged Teddy out of hearing distance.

"We've got the map so we'll take all the secret entrances and you guys can take all the obvious ones," Victoire called over her shoulder decisively as she towed Teddy away.

Once they'd walked far enough away from the others, and when Victoire was satisfied that there was no one around to hear them, she pulled Teddy behind a tapestry on the third floor that held a secret passage.

She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. She could feel his chest move with his quiet laughter as his arms tightened around her back and he squeezed her in return. They held each other for several minutes before Victoire spoke. Her tone was muffled against his chest, but he could her sweet voice perfectly.

"What are you guys actually doing here?"

He moved a hand up to her head and ran his fingers through her shiny, silver-blonde hair, almost absentmindedly as he answered, "Harry's now in charge of the castle's protection. We're here to work out what new spells and precautions are needed. I'm supposed to check all of the entrances."

Victoire moved back so she could see his pale, heart-shaped face. His eyes were his normal deep, sapphire-blue and his hair was in one of her favourite shades. A bright turquoise blue.

"There has to be more to it than that. It's the first week back and you, Harry, and Kingsley are here working on the castle's protection?"

Victoire's ocean-blue eyes were staring at him beseechingly. He had a hard time not telling the truth right there and then, "Vic, you have to trust me when I saw I can't tell you."

Victoire looked into his eyes for a minute and knew that he was telling the truth, "Okay, but will I ever know?"

Teddy pressed his lips delicately against the smooth skin of her forehead, "Yes, you'll find out soon enough. Definitely by the end of the week."

Victoire sighed as she breathed in Teddy's scent, "So I was right, there is more to this than just some extra protection spells."

Teddy nodded seriously, "Of course you're right. I'm just sorry that I can't tell you yet. Trust me, it's killing me, just standing here and not telling you."

Victoire smiled flirtatiously up at his face, "Well I know a way we can fix that little problem."

Teddy smiled, knowing where her thoughts were going, "And is that something, something that's going to keep my mouth busy so I don't feel tempted to spill the beans?"

"If you're lucky," she winked at him.

He laughed lightly before pressing his lips to her plump, smooth, pink ones. Victoire smiled into his lips and deepened the kiss; her hands reached up to his head and ran though his silky smooth hair. Teddy adjusted his arms so that one was across her back; crushing her to him and the other was in her long silvery hair. Victoire took his bottom lip in between hers and pulled on it gently. Teddy broke away from her and rested his forehead against hers' as he tried to catch his breath.

She was also breathing heavily as she smiled up at him, "Merlin I've missed you."

She pressed her head against his chest again and squeezed him tight. Teddy was still breathing rather raggedly as he held her tightly to him, "Ditto. We're somewhat pathetic aren't we? It hasn't even been a full week yet."

"Hmm, we're not pathetic . . . we're just extremely affectionate people," Victoire said, grinning at him.

Teddy smiled in return, "Extremely affectionate people who have a task that needs to be completed."

Victoire's lips turned into an attractive pout, "Really Teddy? We have a perfect opportunity here to spend some time together, and you want to go around and do the tasks Harry gave to you?"

Teddy pulled out of Victoire's arms but grabbed her hand in his. He slowly brought it up to his lips and kissed it before smiling playfully, "Yes, because it's my job remember? I'm and Auror."

"A very delicious Auror," Victoire said winking saucily at him.

Teddy rolled his eyes but smiled broadly. He kept her hand and pulled her out of the passageway, "That one's clear. Where's the next one?"

Victoire pulled out the Marauder's Map (the magical map of the Hogwarts ground that showed where anybody in the castle was at any time). She glanced at it and found a secret door a few corridors away behind a suit of armour.

"So," Teddy started as they walked to the next corridor, "what was Pennington" -he spat the name- "alluding to when he said that thing about expecting Xavier to want to work with you?"

Victoire didn't blush, but she did fidget under his curious gaze, "Um . . . well . . . there's a rumour going around that- that Xavier and I are dating . . ."

Teddy looked at her obvious discomfort and tried to smile reassuringly, "Really . . . well that's interesting. I always though Xavier was too Quidditch obsessed to recognize a smart, funny, pretty and talented girl. It only took him what, seven years to figure out you were a catch? Personally, I thought I'd take longer."

She let out a sigh of relief when she heard his casual teasing tone, "I thought you'd be upset . . ."

"It's just a rumour Vic. I wouldn't be upset with you because of a stupid rumour."

"It wasn't myself I was worried for . . ." Victoire said looking at the ground as they walked.

"You were afraid I'd be angry at Xavier, weren't you?" Teddy said trying to catch her eye.

After a minute, she looked up, met his eyes, and nodded. Teddy threw an arm around her waist (checking to make sure that the corridor was clear of people first) and pulled her in for a tight one-armed-squeeze. "Unless I was imagining the wink Xavier gave you when he suggested that we partner up, I take it that you told him about us being together?"

She snorted, "Yeah right. The nosey Git figured it out. He walked into James' and Fred's compartment on the Hogwarts Express when James was regaling Fred of the tale of how he caught us snogging. Then he realized that I was totally out of it at dinner that night, added that to some feelings he'd picked up from reading the letters you wrote him over the summer and he came to the hypothesis of us being together."

Teddy nodded, "So who else knows now? Obviously not Kingsley since he hasn't tried to murder me yet . . ."

Victoire sighed sadly, "I-I haven't had any time yet . . . I still want to tell him in person but in Professor McGonagall's Office surrounded by a bunch of random Slytherins and nosey cousins just didn't seem like the proper time . . ."

Teddy sighed, "I'll leave this to you because he's your godfather, but I think you should tell him as soon as possible because the longer you wait, the more awkward it's going to get when he asks how long we've been together."

Victoire nodded, it's not like she didn't want to tell Kingsley. In fact, she was more excited to tell him about her dating Teddy than any other boyfriend of hers' she'd introduced him to in the past; there was just never the right time . . .

"Yeah, so Xavier knows, James and Fred know of course, and apparently they already told Rosie and Al. Oh, and Ally didn't know about it at all until stupid Dom had to let it slip when she saw her talking to Louis," Victoire said reciting the list of people who knew their 'secret'. She started to think that she wouldn't be able to call it that for much longer.

Teddy heard a small amount of anger in Victoire's voice as she alluded to the story about Ally, Dom and Louis, "I hear a story there! How exactly did Ally find out?"

Victoire sighed, not wanting to relieve the feelings of worry and anger she felt when she looked into Ally's face and saw her betrayed expression. "Well, the other day we were eating breakfast and all was going great, when Ally decided to stand at the back of the Hall and exclaim my full name and make a scene in front of the entire castle. Turns out, Dom had accidently spilled the beans about you, and me and Ally was livid about me not telling her myself about it. We got it all worked out though, and she promised me that she was angry at me for keeping it a secret, she was just upset that Xavier knew before her, but I think they got all their feelings out when they played tug-o-war with me as the rope . . ."

Victoire was starting to ramble and Teddy had decided that he'd heard all necessary information that he was going to get. He cut her off with a quick peck on the lips. Victoire looked up at him a little dizzy, "Wow, I should ramble more often."

Teddy laughed, "Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but Dom, Louis, Ally, James, Fred, Xavier and probably all of the little cousins know by now?"

Victoire nodded, "Yes. Oh, and I finally had to tell Sandra because she said I was acting way too odd."

"Odd how?"

"Apparently, you're rubbing off on me Teddy. When Pamela and her cronies were harassing me about whether or not I was dating Xavier, instead of blowing a gasket and hexing or cursing them like I normally would, I just ignored them and turned a shoulder. Sandra was really worried about me; she thought I was sick or something."

Teddy chuckled lightly, "Oh, so my more passive nature is rubbing off on you is it?"

"Yes, and it'll probably be a major setback in concerns to my duelling skills," Victoire said only somewhat jokingly.

Teddy's voice was tender when he spoke next, "Don't feel bad Vic. You're not the only one acting different. At least you don't look any different. Anytime I let my mind wander or daydream about you -which is has been happening a lot considering how boring the office work has been lately- I end up looking like this."

Teddy moved his eyes into a screwed up position for a minute. When he was done, his shaggy but stylish blue hair had turned into a shiny silvery-blonde colour. His skin had gone from pale white to a silvery tan colour, and he even had a smattering of golden freckles across his nose. His eyes had changed from deep sapphire blue to a sparkling ocean blue-green shade. He was a guy version of Victoire and she could easily recognize her features on his face.

"You unconsciously morph into me when you're daydreaming?" She was stuck between fighting the urge to laugh and the urge to tear up. As funny as it was, it was still incredibly sweet.

"Yes, and it almost got me in trouble multiple times. I always feared that it would happen without my notice and Kingsley would come along, see, and start asking awkward questions. Harry was good about it, he'd tell me whenever my hair turned blonde; Uncle Ron on the other hand would burst out laughing and fall off his chair from the mirth."

Teddy stopped talking and moving. They'd gotten to the next secret passage. They slipped behind the statue of armour and Teddy started waving his wand around as he performed some non-verbal spells. Victoire leaned against the cold, stone, wall as she watched him work. Godric I've missed him. How am I going to make it through this year without him? I love him so much . . . I can't stand spending so much time away from him . . .

"Vic?"

Teddy's voice broke through her reverie, "Huh?"

He smiled at her, "This passageway's secure. Where's the next one?"

"Uh . . ." She couldn't find any words to use. Her thoughts scrambled as she looked at his gorgeous face. He'd changed his hair back to blue and his eyes and complexion back to their regular colours. She was too busy watching the light shine off his hair in a blue glow. He was so handsome.

Teddy's smile had fallen; he walked over to her and loosened the Map out of her slack grip. He gazed into her eyes, "You alright Hon?"

Victoire blinked her eyes and tried to focus on what was going on in front of her. Her previous inspection of Teddy had led her to some rather nice daydreams.

"Yes," she answered a little breathlessly.

Teddy gave her one last look before glancing down at the Map to find their next destination.

Victoire tipped her head to the side as she watched him. His blue eyes were bright as the roamed attentively over the Map and his dazzling lips were pursed as he inspected the corridors and the towers. She felt an unusual stab of jealousy as she observed him. I won't get to see him again, in who knows how long, and he's spending our time together staring at the ink on an old piece of paper when he should be staring at me. She longed for his eyes to be roaming over her instead of the paper and for his lips to be pursed against hers' and not just in the air. Victoire snapped, she only had a certain amount of time to spend with Teddy and she was going to make the most of it.

She paced over to Teddy, grabbed the Map from out of his hands, and put it in the pocket of her robes.

Teddy looked up at her in shock, "Vic? What are you-"

He was cut off when Victoire shoved her mouth firmly against his. She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him back until his back was pressed against the opposite wall of the tunnel. Teddy's muffled response had turned into a small moan and he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against him. He turned the around and suddenly Victoire could feel the cool stone of the wall against her back.

When she moved her mouth to kiss his neck Teddy took the opportunity to speak in gasps of breath, "What's. Going. On. Vic?"

She moved her mouth back to his, and he kissed her deeply; apparently not caring for a response. After what seemed like forever, Teddy moved his lips to shower her face with sweet kisses.

"Sorry," She said breathlessly answering him, "You just looked so damn handsome."

He stopped kissing her and leaned his forehead against hers'. He looked down at her with his amazing sapphire eyes, "Back at you."

"You think I'm damn handsome?" Victoire said her lips turning up into a smirk.

Teddy's eyes sparkled, "It would have been considered a compliment back in the seventeen hundreds. Handsome was a word used to describe women back then."

"Well, I think since I'm part Veela you'll need to come up with a much more unique word to describe how completely and absolutely gorgeous and sexy I am."

"I don't think Aunt Hermione or Uncle Percy would be pleased to hear me making up random words. They would think that it was a disgrace and insult to the English language."

"Yes, well it is me we're talking about. You're allowed to create brand new words because everyone knows that the old ones do not do me justice."

Teddy smiled at her; he missed talking to her. Conversation was always easy for them, fun and light-hearted, but it could change into serious and heartfelt in a minute. It had just been so easy for them as they grew up. Becoming best friends had been so easy. Teddy had thought that changing their relationship into something else was going to be hard. But he soon realized that it was just as easy as before, as if it was the natural trail their lives were supposed to follow.

"As much as I'd love to just stay in this corridor and continue snogging you until we're gone for so long that it makes Kingsley and Harry suspicious . . . we need to get this job done," Teddy said looking sadly down at Victoire.

Victoire pouted, "We can always blame this on my Veela charm," she lifted a hand up to his face and lightly ran it across his cheeks as she leaned in and moved her lips next to his ear, "say that I seduced you," she breathed quietly. Her sweet breath tickling the hairs on his neck.

Teddy took a step back from Victoire, closed his eyes, and took a very deep breath. His eyes were still closed when he spoke next, "We really need to get going Vic . . ."

Victoire sighed. She knew that it was a long shot that she was going to be able to distract Teddy away from their initial job. She was just happy to see that he seemed to be both physically and mentally arguing with himself over their next move. She grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the passageway and down the next corridor, a large smile on her face because she knew that she'd somewhat won.

They only had about three more passages left to check when Victoire stopped suddenly in the middle of the hall. She was looking at a bare stretch of wall with a very intent look of concentration on her face.

"What are you doing Vic?"

"I told Xavier that we would take all of the secret entrances on the Map, but do you think he checked this one?"

Teddy looked at the wall, knowing very well what was hidden, "Vic, you know that the Room of Requirement isn't on the Map."

Victoire rolled her eyes at him, "Of course I know that Teddy. I was just wondering if you think that it falls under our jurisdiction or not? Someone could easily use it to create a passage to get outside of Hogwarts."

Teddy considered that. She did have a good point. "I'm not sure, but this is definitely something I'll have to discuss with Harry, see if we'll need to station someone there."

Teddy had finished speaking and had moved a few feet along the hall when he realized that Victoire wasn't with him. He turned around and saw her staring wide-eyed at him. He was confused at the look she was giving him. What had he said to surprise her?

"What did you just say?" Her voice was mechanical and impassive.

"About what Vic? What's wrong?" Teddy asked scared now.

"What did you say about stationing someone there?"

Teddy's face and hair drained of all colour. Crap! I said way too much. But I can't tell her the truth, we promised not to. Then again, she does already know that something else is going on . . . but apparently, she didn't think it was big enough for a person needed for surveillance . . .

Victoire was giving Teddy a calculating look as he pondered what to say, she broke the silence first, "Tell me what you meant Teddy. And it better be the truth." She added when she saw his face. She could tell that he was presently debating on whether to tell him the truth or not.

"Listen Vic . . . I didn't mean to say that . . . I'm not going to pretend that it wasn't anything. Because it was. But it's part of the thing that I can't tell you about. You have to understand that. It's not because I don't want to, because I do, I just can't-"

Victoire cut him off, "Calm down Teddy, geez. You look like I just dared you to go prance through the Slytherin Common Room naked singing one of the Sorting Hat's songs."

Teddy shuddered at the unpleasant image that just popped into his head. It vaguely reminded him of a dare that they'd given Xavier Wood back when they were in their fifth year when they were playing Truth or Dare in the Gryffindor Common Room. Sadly, Xavier had opted out of that particular dare.

"Is there anything you can tell me about what you, Harry and Kingsley are actually doing here?"

Teddy thought for a minute, "I can tell you that this is all just extra safety precautions for everyone in the castle."

"Just extra?"

"Yes, this is Harry and Kingsley being overly paranoid, and careful."

Victoire nodded her head, her mind still racing as she tried to figure out what was going on. She thought that if she guessed and she was close enough Teddy would tell her. Unfortunately, she didn't have any good guesses.

"Alright. Where is our next stop?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"For the love of Godric Gryffindor! Will you just shut up Pennington?" Xavier Wood asked as they rounded the corridor.

Austin Pennington had spent the last hour talking non-stop about, what seemed like, the most annoying and boring things he could think of, and Xavier had finally had enough. Xavier was usually known for his patience and perseverance when it came to dealing with, well pretty much anybody. He could withstand the most stuck-up Slytherin, the most know-it-all Ravenclaw, the most pig-headed Gryffindor, the densest Hufflepuff, and even Professor Linkwell's unfair attitudes. He seemed to have reached his limit with Pennington though. Merlin, either he's gotten more annoying than last year, or my attention span has been shortening from spending time with Victoire. Hmmm, it's probably a bit of both . . .

Pennington glared at Xavier haughtily, "Well Wood, I'm sorry if I'm boring you but I was raised to be polite and speak to the people I am with. I guess Mummy and Daddy were too busy being big Quidditch stars to teach you the same manners."

Xavier narrowed his eyes. Oh, so now he's calling out my parents. Godric, this guy's an arse. Victoire owes me big time for insisting that she work with Ted.

Xavier's face lightened when they came up to a Gargoyle statue. He tersely announced the password and walked up the stairs to the Headmistress' Office. Xavier knocked lightly on the wooden door and walked in as it opened for him. As they entered, Xavier saw Harry Potter and Kingsley Shacklebolt still bowed over Professor McGonagall's desk. They moved as the two Head Boys entered.

"Mr Wood, Mr Pennington, how did it go?" McGonagall asked.

Austin moved in front of her desk and began telling a long-winded tale of what he and Xavier had accomplished the last hour. Xavier interjected after he had spoken for five minutes and had said nothing pertaining to their mission.

"We checked all of the obvious passages in and out of Hogwarts and found them perfectly intact," Xavier said looking at McGonagall.

He then glanced at Harry and Kingsley, "Ted didn't tell us what you were planning on doing, but if you were going to layer them with protection spells it should work fine. I didn't see anything that would cause a loophole in a spell or charm."

Harry nodded gratefully, "On a completely unrelated note. Xavier, you know a lot about flying," it was an observation and not a question. After all, Xavier's father had taught Harry all he knew about Quidditch and taught him how to become a better flyer, "do you think someone would be able to break through the anti-flying protection spells that surrounds Hogwarts?"

Harry knew that Xavier was the kind of student who would have actually read Hogwarts a History and would know what rather defences the castle grounds had.

"I'm not sure. Every spell does have its loophole. If you really wanted to know, I would assign people to try to fly into Hogwarts and see if any of them can find their way through the protection spells." Xavier said finally.

Harry nodded, appreciative for the advice. If the Tournament was going to go as planned, testing the defences like that was a good idea.

"Where are Miss Weasley and Mr Lupin?" McGonagall asked as she looked around the office, realizing that they were missing.

"Oh, they took the Map and Victoire said that they were going to check all of the secret entrances," Xavier answered helpfully.

"Yes, that'll probably take a longer time than all of the normal entrances," Harry said smiling; as if he was enjoying an inside joke.

"Yeah, those two are probably doing a very thorough sweep of each passageway," Xavier said smiling like Harry had a minute before.

"Yes, that's something they have in common. They like to be thorough," Kingsley commented absentmindedly as he stared at the piece of parchment in front of his face.

Harry's face turned bright red and be burst out into laughter. Xavier held his mirth in, but just barely. It was obvious that Kingsley didn't hear the suggestiveness of Harry and Xavier's comments or he wouldn't have commented as blindly as he did. Even though Xavier knew that Kingsley didn't know about Victoire and Ted yet, he was surprised that he couldn't hear the implication in the conversation. Well, it seems that Vic really has her work cutout for her. Kingsley isn't the least bit suspicious as to what is actually going on . . .

Xavier's inner musings were interrupted by the door opening. A minute later Victoire and Ted walked in laughing their heads off about something.

Everyone in the room turned to stare at them. It was obvious that they felt no discomfort in being the center of attention because they looked as though they were about ten seconds away from collapsing to the floor from their hilarity.

"What's so funny?" Austin asked annoyed at the scene they were causing. Ever the Ravenclaw, he was upset that they weren't acting like the adults they should be.

It took Ted several attempts until he was able to speak between the giggles, "You wouldn't find it funny."

"Oh really?" Pennington asked his face hard. It was a challenge.

"Really," Victoire said finally sobering up. She gave Austin a glare full of distain.

"Anyway," Harry commented before Victoire and Austin could get into a fight. He'd already heard about two of his nieces getting in trouble for punching people in the face today, he wasn't excited to see the total reach three. "How did your search go?"

"Every passage was secure. But Harry, we need to talk about the Room of Requirement," Ted reported.

"What about it?" Harry asked interestedly.

"Um," Teddy looked around and saw Xavier and especially Victoire staring at him attentively. "This is something that we should speak about in the Office."

Harry understood the hint Teddy was giving him, and so did Professor McGonagall. She looked at her students, "Thank you for your help, but I think it's time for you all to go to your next class."

Austin nodded, made a small arrogant speech about how it was a privilege to be asked to help, and then left the room before Victoire could glare at him again.

Once Austin was gone, Victoire turned to look at Kingsley expectantly, "Are you going to tell me what's going on, or are you just going to let me assume the worst?"

Xavier, Harry and Teddy sucked in a breath.

Kingsley considered his goddaughter, and for once, he wasn't able to give her what she wanted, "I'm sorry Princess, but I can't tell you. You'll find out soon enough."

Victoire expected his answer but it still stung a little. He always gave her what she wanted; at least she knew that he would answer her next question because he'd denied her last, "When is soon enough?"

Kingsley sighed and looked at Harry and Professor McGonagall, they nodded, "I'd say Friday night."

Victoire nodded, pleased that she got an answer. "Alright, let's go Xavier."

Xavier nodded his head and went to the door. He opened it in a gentlemanly fashion, waiting for Victoire to go through first. Victoire walked over to her Uncle Harry and gave him a quick hug before going to stand in front of Kingsley. Kingsley smiled at her brightly and pulled her into a tight embrace. Lastly, Victoire shuffled over to Teddy and gave him a quick squeeze.

Teddy hugged her back tightly before letting her go. It was hard he wanted to keep her in his arms. But he knew that he had to let go. She needed to get to class; he needed to go back to the Ministry. He was really starting to hate the two years that have been keeping them apart. She smiled at them all before leaving the room with Xavier.

Once they left McGonagall, Kingsley and Harry began another discussion on the security measures for the Tournament. It was good thing that Teddy didn't need to comment, because his thoughts were occupied with a pretty, blonde girl at the moment.

Hope you liked it, leave a comment if you like!
