Victoire woke up in Teddy's embrace. He had his arms wrapped around her, she gently shook him awake and he smiled weakly. "First day of the seventh year! Ready?" Victoire stood up and began to change. Teddy smiled and grabbed a shirt, together they walked downstairs to breakfast. When Neville came round to distribute the timetables, Peter and one of Victoire's friends, Isabelle came to speak to them. Teddy checked his timetable against Victoire's. Unsurprisingly, once more they had nearly every lesson together. The only time when they would be apart was when Victoire had Arithmency; Teddy had Care of Magical Creatures. Both thought the others subject to be a waste of time.

Actually, what Teddy had told James on the train was fairly true. His goals were either to be an auror or to work in the Department of Magical Sports. Victoire however wanted to go and work in Gringotts like both of her parents did. The four of them stood up and walked down into the dungeons for Potions.

When they arrived, Professor Quintus opened the door and beckoned them inside. He was a middle-aged man. He was very nice and fairly lax. The four of them sat around one of the three tables. "Welcome back all. To start this term off, we're gonna make the Draught of Living Death. I won't tell you how to make it, no books. This will be a test purely from memory. All the ingredients you'll need are in the cupboard. Begin!" Teddy and Peter stared at Quintus while everybody else stood up and hurried to the cupboard.

Forty-five minutes later, Quintus cried, "Stop!" Everybody stopped and looked at him. He walked around looking into everybody's cauldrons. "This has shown to me that you all have great potential. But, the best potion is… Victoire Weasley's!" Victoire blushed and Quintus clapped her.

That evening, Isabelle and Victoire were whispering in a corner while Teddy played Abigail at chess. "So, you're properly dating her now?"

"Yep. Rook to E5." His rook destroyed a pawn and she scowled.

"I thought you liked me?"

"As a friend, yes," he prodded his bishop forward and said, "Checkmate. Anyway, you don't like me do you?"

"No, but it's always nice to have somebody lusting after you," They both smiled and Teddy pointed.

"He lusts you,"

"No!"

"He's liked you for ages,"

"No, ah ah. There's no way that Fred Weasley fancies me!"

"You keep on believing that," he stood up and walked out of the common room. "Night Abi,"

He jumped down and began to walk through the corridors to his room. He reached the portrait and said, "Indecisive," the horse laughed and swung inwards. He sat down and stared out over the lake. The moon was reflected on the surface, rippling with the waves. There was a sound behind him and he jumped up.

"Fuck! Tor, still don't do that!"

"Sorry Teddy." She sat down; he noticed she was looking miserable.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing," he sat on the arm of her chair and clasped her hand with his.

"You never were a very good liar Tor,"

"Do you love me?"

"Of course,"

"So why did Abigail say that you love her?"

"SHE WHAT!"

"She told me that you still loved her and that I was a stupid bitch to have thought otherwise," Teddy stood up and raced back to the common room. He jumped out the passage to see Abigail sitting in a chair smiling sweetly at him.

"I knew that you'd be back. Lover,"

"Stupefy!"

There was a bang and Abigail was thrown into the wall. "Ooh, temper!"

"I thought you were my friend,"

"I thought I was going to be your girlfriend!"

"When did I ever suggest to you that?"

Abigail drew her wand and shouted, "Sectumsempra!" Teddy dropped to the floor and said, "I'm sorry that you thought what you did, but I love Victoire now,"

"Now?"

"Okay, for the past year"

"But you don't love her! You love me!"

"FUCK OFF! I love Tor more than anything else in the world,"

"Except me?"

"Goodbye,"

Teddy stormed out of the room and straight into Victoire. "Oh Teddy. I was so stupid to have believed her!"

"You were listening?"

"I thought you were going to attack her,"

"The problem would've been,"

"Teddy shut up and kiss me," He bent down and enveloped her lips with his own. She wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss.

"Sectumsempra! Sectumsempra! Sectumsempra!" Teddy fell to the floor, his back covered in blood.

"If I can't have him nobody can!"

Abigail smiled and walked back into the common room. Teddy was motionless and Victoire screamed. She hugged him and burst into tears. There was a commotion behind her and Peter and Isabelle appeared at the head of the Gryffindors. "Victoire what the? Shit, what happened to Teddy?"

"I- I- It was Abigail,"

The three of them lifted Teddy up and carried him to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey gasped when she saw Teddy and instantly whisked him away. Some time later; Victoire sat by his bed, sobbing into a tissue. Isabelle and Peter had gone back to bed as soon as they knew Teddy would be fine. Madam Pomfrey had fixed Teddy's wounds but he would still have a scar or two. However, she had not been able to revive him. But she said he would be fine by the morning. Despite all her efforts she had been unable to move Victoire so she had given up and gone back to her office.

Teddy's eyes fluttered briefly then he sat up sharply. Victoire threw her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek. "Oh Teddy, I was so worried!"

"Where am I?"

"Peter, Bella and I took you to the Hospital Wing when that bitch attacked you,"

"What's the time?"

"Two-thirty,"

"You've been here for three and half hours?"

"Mmhmm,"

"Thank you so much Tor," He hugged her as Madam Pomfrey came hurrying over.

"If you're awake then you might as well go and get some sleep."

"Okay," Teddy and Victoire walked back to their room. As soon as they reached the bed, Victoire kissed Teddy as passionately as she could. He was taken aback but responded anyway. When they broke apart, Victoire said,

"What are you gonna do about Abigail?"

"At this moment, all I care about is a girl sitting on a bed next to me," Victoire flung herself back at Teddy.

The next day, Isabelle and Victoire were looking at Professor Edgecombe's face. Teddy whispered into their ears, "That was Hermione,"

"You're joking?"

"Nah, Harry said it was because she betrayed the D.A."

"Wanker,"

"Language Bella, I'm sure she had a good reason,"

Fred Weasley turned around and said, "I heard she was scared. Bitch,"

"MR WEASLEY! What is it that is so important?"

"Sorry Miss, we were just laughing about how my aunt rather destroyed your complexion."

Professor Edgecombe went very red and said in a deathly quiet voice, "Seventy points from Gryffindor and a week's detention," Fred groaned.

However, from then on, many more people were laughing about Professor Edgecombe and her inexplicable acne problem. Fred came back one evening from his detention laughing his head off. "What is it?" Teddy looked rather bemused seeing his friend laughing for no reason.

"Well, Professor Edgecombe flipped at me again. I asked her why she didn't get rid of her spots, I asked her is she enjoying having 'sneak' implanted on her face," Teddy burst out laughing and clapped Fred on the back.

"Nice one mate. Your dad would be proud,"

"Yeah but would mum?"

"Yup, she'll just laugh like she always does."

"Fine but if she's angry, you get the blame," The two of them laughed again and walked over to where Isabelle was sitting.

"Isabelle! Have you seen my girlfriend?"

"Why? Do you really need to stick your tongue down her throat again?"

There was a noise from the portrait-hole and the three of them turned around, "Bella! What I do with my boyfriend doesn't concern you!"

"Err I am your best friend!"

"Ladies, calm down. I'm sure Teddy and Victoire can be alone again soon,"

"Shut up Fred,"

"Nah, but seriously. Do you know what happened to Abi?" Teddy scowled and Victoire looked sad.

"Yeah. Apparently she left, no-one knows where to, but I asked Neville and he said she wasn't 'feeling liked'. No guesses why,"

"Shame, I was stating to like her,"

Victoire giggled and Fred smiled to.

In the next few weeks, the seventh-years began to feel the pressure as they received more and more work. Fred, Teddy and Victoire were going to the Burrow for Christmas. On the day before they were due to leave, a surprise letter arrived.

Dear Fred, Teddy and Victoire,

Hope that everything is well with you. Harry is coming to pick you up tomorrow at four. See you then!

Grandma!

"Why's Harry coming?"

"Dunno; don't suppose it can be good though can it?"

"We'll find out I reckon,"

"Night Teddy, Night Toire,"

"Night Fred," The two of them made the trek back to there room. Yes there were perks of being the head boy and girl. But then, they were relied on for almost everything. As they settled in for the night, Teddy thought about how the entire Weasley family know knew that he was dating Victoire. He was almost scared about seeing all of them!

The next morning, Teddy and Fred were sitting in the Great Hall, when Harry walked through the door. "Harry!"

"Hey Fred, hey Teddy."

"Why are you here?"

"I needed to talk to Teddy,"

"Okay, about what?"

"About a certain Abigail Stock. I don't know how best to put this but, she committed suicide a few days ago. She left a message saying, 'I hate you Teddy'. Do you have any idea why she would leave that?"

"She was a psychopath. When she found out that I was dating Tor, she half killed me. And when I told her I didn't love her, it looks like she killed herself!"

"Thanks. Where's Tor?"

"Coming, I think," At that moment, Victoire hurried into the hall. Harry stood up and hugged her. Then the four of them walked to the boundaries and disapparated.

On Christmas Day, Victoire woke up next to Teddy. She had persuaded Dominique to share a room with James so that she and Teddy could be together. "Merry Christmas Tor,"

"Fancy an early present?"

"Oh if you insist!"

Teddy pointed his wand at the door and the lock clicked. He kissed Victoire and she responded warmly. They broke apart and Teddy passed Victoire a small ornate box. "Look inside" Victoire opened the box and gave a squeal of happiness. Inside was a necklace that looked as if it was made from diamonds. Teddy fastened it around her neck and kissed her.

"I'll take it that you like it?"

"Oh Teddy, I love it!"

"Come on, let's go downstairs,"

They walked down to see Fred and his sister Roxanne who was in her sixth year sitting by the fire. "Merry Christmas you two," they sat down; Victoire perched on Teddy's lap.

"Oh, hello."

"Hey Tor, what's that around your neck?"

Roxanne looked at the necklace and gasped, "Oh my god! It's beautiful! Who got it for you?"

"I did," Roxanne smirked at Teddy and said, "No really,"

"Oi, he did,"

"It must've cost a fortune. I didn't realise you two were that serious,"

A voice from behind them made them all jump, "Who's serious?"

Bill appeared with Charlie and Dominique, "Oh, Victoire and Teddy,"

Charlie smiled and said, "What's this?" he had come back especially for Christmas, being unable to return in the summer.

"Oh, Teddy and I are dating,"

"I wish you all the luck," Victoire hugged her uncle and Dominique gasped at the necklace as well.

"Oh Teddy. Why didn't you get me something like that as well?"

"Oh, sorry Niki. But your sister is my girlfriend, remember? And let's face it, you and I aren't actually related,"

"Still-" Dominique carried on muttering while Teddy and Fred walked outside with Roxanne and Victoire following at a distance, giggling loudly.

They reached the woods and walked to a secluded spot. Fred sat on a log and Teddy waited for Victoire and Roxanne to catch up. "I suppose none of you know why we're here?" The three of them shook their heads.

"Roxanne, this doesn't really mean much to you but, Abigail loved me. Fred loved her, she loved me and I loved Tor. I just thought I'd clear everything up before anybody else asked questions," Fred bowed his head and Victoire was looking pissed off, Roxanne simply looked confused.

"Tor, I need to speak to you," he grabbed her hand and led her further through the woods. Soon they came out into the muggle village. Teddy led Victoire to a small green by the church and sat down on a bench.

"Did you have to bring anybody but Fred?"

"No, but I needed to speak to you anyway."

"It's Christmas Day, people will wonder where we've been," Teddy kissed her on the lips. She closed her eyes and he kissed her again. He wrapped his arms around her and hers to him. As they broke apart, Victoire's eyes were glistening with tears.

"Are those happy tears?"

"Oh Teddy! Of course they are!" He smiled and stood up, "Come on, we need to get back," Victoire leapt into his arms and hugged him. When they arrived back at the Burrow, Fred and Roxanne ran out to greet them. "Have fun?"

"Perhaps,"
