The house buzzed with Christmas excitement, and it seemed that every Weasley friend and relation was somehow crammed into the confines of the Burrow's small living room. In the midst of all the chaos, Victoire Weasley sat with her numerous younger cousins, who were entertaining themselves at the moment by teasing thirteen-year-old Lily Potter about her new Hogwarts boyfriend.
Lily, however, was not quite as amused as her brothers and cousins at the whispers of "Lily Malfoy," so she looked desperately for a diversion. When she noticed a sparkle out of the corner of her eye, she reached over and grabbed Victoire's left hand.
"This ring is beautiful! Did you get it for Christmas?"
Too concerned by her own attempt to get the attention off herself, Lily didn't notice that both Teddy and Victoire had paled at her loud announcement. It appeared that Rose didn't either, as she took a good look at the ring and said, "Yeah, Vic. It's great…looks almost like an engagement ring."
A loud crash that must have involved a good portion of her grandmother's best china followed Rose's words. All eyes in the room went straight to Victoire who stood slowly on very shaky knees. She tried not to sigh with relief when she felt Teddy move to her side and place a reassuring arm around her waist.
Teddy looked nervously from Harry and Ginny to Fleur and Bill before he turned to his fiancé. "That went well, don't you think? Maybe we should go ahead and tell them about the baby, too."
Another crash almost drowned out Victoire's weak voice. "Surprise?"
Author's note: Okay, so this one was fun to write, but I still don't own anything.
