Victoire/Molly

A longer chapter I think the relationship between Molly and Victoire is really interesting because they are very similar both smart, strong and popular in their own way. Molly is what Victoire could be if she was nicer and Victoire is what Molly could be if she was prejudice. I think both these characters learn a lot from each other and I think the reason Teddy falls for Molly rather than Victoire is because she is nicer in a way, she's more accepting. Anyway onto the story.


Victoire was going to do this one right. She would be nice, she would be gentle, and she would let him down easy. She didn't want to break up with him at a family party but he was just so damn annoying that she couldn't put up with him any longer. Nox Jackson is extremely handsome, wealthy and intelligent; every girls dream. He works as a consultant for Gringotts, Victoire had met him two months ago whilst arguing with a goblin about her vault, Nox had fixed the situation and they hit it off immediately. However after two months of dating Victoire discovered something disturbing, she's dating herself. Nox is very arrogant, self-centred and can be very cruel, snapping at waiting staff and making quick judgements about people. It's like looking into an obnoxious mirror and Victoire knows she has to break up with him, there's no way she can continue to date someone she can't stand. In the past she's been pretty harsh whilst breaking up with someone, she had been dismissive and impatient and dating Nox had opened her eyes to how awful a person she could be and has to do something to change that, step one is breaking up with Nox. So this time it's going to be different, she'll be nice.

Nox is currently standing talking to her cousin James about his job in Gringotts which James looks bored by, but there was no getting away from Nox once he'd started talking about himself. They are all gathered to celebrate Louis and Sadie graduating from Hogwarts, with Louis choosing to go into fashion and Sadie deciding to work alongside Lucy in the Law department in the Ministry. There are a lot of people gathered in the garden of the burrow, tents have been pitched up, there's a huge table filled with food made by Roxanne, Grandma Molly and Molly II and even a few teachers had arrived. Nox had insisted that it was time for him to meet her family, Victoire wished she hadn't caved. She took him by the arm and led him towards the edge of the party where they can talk privately.

"Where are we going? I was talking to James about the importance of having me as a consultant in Gringotts!" Nox complained.

"Yeah it seems you never stop talking." Victoire muttered under her breath still dragging her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend with her.

She comes to a spot far enough away from the party that nobody could hear their conversation but close enough people could still see them, Victoire hoped this would be enough to not cause a scene.

"Nox we need to talk." Victoire said to him trying to sound as gentle as possible.

Nox furrowed his brow in confusion. "Talk? Talk about what?"

"Us." Victoire replied. She tried to remember everything Lucy told her about breaking up with someone. Despite having her head in a book for most of her seven years at Hogwarts many boys asked Lucy out, by the time she was fourteen she had a routine for how to turn them down. One, eye contact. Two, neutral expression. Three, take his hands in comfort. "Nox, one day you are going to make someone very happy, but that person isn't me I'm afraid. We're just too similar and I don't think I can be with someone who is so like to me."

That was good right?

Nox smiled and squeezed her hands and Victoire thought she had finally had a decent break-up.

"Oh Vic. There's a perfectly simple solution to the problem. You can just change." Nox replies smugly as if he's just saved their relationship. Victoire's face fell and she drops his hands. He's suggesting she changes to suit him, and that does not please her, and apparently it doesn't please someone else because before Victoire can reply and voice comes from behind her.

"You prick! How dare you even suggest that?" Victoire turns to find her cousin Molly Weasley II standing seething at Nox. Molly knew Nox, not well but enough to know how obnoxious he is. She has to put up with the idiot a lot. As a Curse Breaker at Gringotts the nineteen year old sees Nox regularly and can't stand him or the way he treats the goblins, as if they were beneath him. When her twenty-four year old cousin had announced she was dating Nox, Molly had to fight a groan. When she saw Victoire lead Nox away from the party she had detached herself from Teddy's side and followed them, she had seen Nox lose his temper and wasn't about to let Victoire be on the receiving end of his wrath.

"All I'm suggesting is a few tweaks here and there." Nox said looking straight at Molly. "Maybe your fiancé should take note."

"My fiancé loves me just the way I am thank you very much and Victoire is fine just the way she is. She may be a little arrogant and sometimes downright mean but at least she has some redeeming qualities unlike you." Molly growled at the older man.

Victoire was slightly shocked by Molly's defence of her. The two women had never gotten along despite being related. But right now Molly was defending her like she would Lucy and acting as if nothing in their past had happened. Like Victoire hadn't bullied her for being a Slytherin, like Molly hadn't targeted Victoire in the majority of her pranks, like they hadn't fallen out over Teddy.

"I'm intelligent." Nox boasted.

"Victoire's smarter than you, she's a Ravenclaw, she was top of her year and now she's a healer." Molly argued.

"I'm good-looking." Nox replied this time with more venom in his voice.

Molly gave a snort of laughter at his response and Victoire stepped back to stand next to her cousin. In war always pick the strongest side. "Please Victoire has Veela blood you cannot beat her in the looks department"

Nox looked slightly more afraid now the two women had taken a stand against him. Victoire was tall, intimating and cold and whilst Molly barely even met Victoire's shoulder she was strong, feisty and scary. However he was not going to give up this battle.

"Fine, I'm charming." Nox practically shouted and now the trio had the attention of almost everyone at the party.

"Victoire has practically everyone she's ever met in the palm of her hand, you have nothing on her. Face it Jackson my cousin is way too good for you." Molly told Nox before turning to Victoire. "You're nothing like this guy. You're not too similar you just realised he's a twat."

Then Nox snapped. He pulled out his wand and aimed it at Molly, but he wasn't quick enough. Both Molly and Victoire pulled out their wands and yelled 'stupefy' in unison. Nox fell to the ground unconscious.

Every party goer was now staring in their direction. One look at an unconscious Nox and then a look at each other was all it took for the two women to burst out laughing. The had to clutch onto each other for support and when their laughter died down the crowd had obviously deemed them mad and returned to having a good time.

"I'm sorry." Victoire said wiping at the tears of laughter rolling down her cheek.

"What for?" Molly asked sobering up.

"For being the wrong version of me for all those years." Victoire apologised.

"Well in that case I'm sorry too." Molly replied.

"For what?"

"For letting you be a bitch for all those years."

This earned another laugh between the two before they turned to Nox.

"What should we do with him?" Victoire asked her cousin.

"I say we stick him up a tree and then wake him up." Molly said with no hesitation.

Nox got a big surprise when he woke up.


So despite that they've had their arguments they still protect each other. Read and Review please.
