Forty-five minutes later, Victoire came running down the stairs. It had taken her almost an hour, but she finally found the perfect outfit to wear. She hurried into the living room where her parents and her brother were waiting.
"Victoire, what could have possibly taken you so long we are already an hour late," her father Bill Weasley said frustrated.
"Oh no worries honey, we aren't late, actually if we leave right now we will be almost 15 minutes early," her mother Fleur reassured.
"Fleur what are you talking about? Didn't you say my Mum wanted us to be over at 6, and it's already 6:45."
"Well, I did say that, but I figured Victoire would take forever so I told you 6, when we really are not suppose to be there until about 7, so could we please hurry and leave!"
"Aunt Ginny!" Victoire yelled and ran to hug her Dad's youngest sibling.
"Victoire how are you?" she asked.
"I'm great!" she said, and started to look around the room.
Ginny figured out who Victoire was looking for and whispered into her ear, "He'll be here in a few minutes, he had to drop something by his work first."
Victoire just smiled and walked over to her cousin James.
"Hello James Happy Birthday!" Victoire said to the 13 year old boy, "How's it going?"
"It's been great! Teddy bought me the new Firebolt 3."
"Oh wow James that's a very fast broom!"
"I know, but I can handle it!"
"I'm sure you can."
Just then little Lily came over and hugged Victoire.
"Victoire it was so funny, before we came Teddy was so nervous he couldn't figure out what to wear, and he put all of this stinky cologne on. He said it was just because he wanted to look nice, but I know he really wanted to look nice for you."
Victoire felt her heart flutter. Did Teddy really want to look nice for her? What did she care, they were just friends... right?
"Oh don't be silly Lily, Teddy and I are just close friends, nothing more."
"Yeah, that's what he keeps saying," Lily giggled.
"I love Teddy, you know that, but just as friends nothing more." Just then two hands covered her eyes.
"Guess who," the voice said.
Victoire squealed in delight. She turned around to see a handsome Teddy Lupin standing in front of her. He had changed his hair from his normal sandy blond hair to a bright yellow, Victoire's favorite color. He was about 6'2 and dressed nicely. 'God me smells nice' she thought to herself, 'No I can not think that he is my best friend...but why does he have to look so hot all the time?' Her thoughts were quickly interrupted when he reached down and lifted her off the ground in a big hug. He had always toward over her since she was only a little less than 5 feet tall.
When Teddy saw Victoire his heart skipped a beat. She was wearing a revealing short brown dress that made his heart skip a beat. The dress showed off her beautiful legs her flawless completion glowed beautifully. Her long blond hair flowed down her back in soft curls. Teddy had to admit to she did look absolutely amazing...but she was his best friend! He quickly shook the thoughts out of his head and put her back down slowly on the ground.
Over in the corner of the room Ginny Weasley was catching up with her older brother Bill.
"I don't mean to question your judgment Bill, but do you really think Victoire's dress is very...appropriate?"
"I know Gin, but she is 17 now, she makes her own decisions on these things, and I've learned over the years of raising a teenage girl not to fight with them over their fashion choices…because you will loose."
"Yes, yes, your right I suppose, I just hate to see poor Teddy having to suffer through the night."
"You know those two are just friends...they are just friends right!" Bill was suddenly wishing he had enforced the rules on his daughter's fashion choices.
"Oh Bill...you've seen how those two look at each other." Bill looked over at the kids; across the room Teddy and Victoria were catching up and laughing with the others. Bill watched Teddy pick up his daughter and spin her around, and his hand clenched in a fist.
"I'll kill him!" He growled.
"Calm down, we raised Ted right, and if it will make you feel any better I'll have Harry talk to him later."
"No, No, don't do that, Teddy will tell Victoire, and she will blame me for ruining her life. But I will be sure to keep an eye on those two."
"Just don't think to much about it Bill and try to have a good time." Bill sighed and agreed walking over to where the rest of the family was gathered.
