At 2 o'clock on May second, 2015, Victorie Weasley snuck in to the room of requirement to find the room slightly different than she was used to.
It was decorated the same as ever, green and blue colors. Soft rugs on the floor, several couches, arm chairs and a coffee table in front of the fire place.
What was different though was what could be found on said coffee table.
Food, loots of it. Meat of different kinds, potatoes, vegetables, bootless of butterbeer and a rather big cake in the middle of it all which had the writing "Happy Fifteenth Birthday Vicky!" on it!
She smiled, this was the first time since she came to Hogwarts that she'd had a birthday cake.
She looked around but couldn't find Teddy anywear, there wasn't many places to hide in the small room so she assumed he had just stepped out for a minute.
She was halfway thru getting her presents out of her bag and on to the sofa (since the table was occupied) when the door opened and Teddy walked in.
He looked up at her in surprise. "You're early!" he stated.
"And you got us food!" She smiled happily. "We don't have to live of candy and apple pie this year!"
"Yeah, I finally got Harry to tell me how to get in to the kitchen last summer so I figured I'd provide some necessities! And naturally I forgot to get something to eat it of so I had to go back downstairs." He hinted to the small stack of plated and cutlery he was carrying.
Victorie walked up to him and took the plates from him.
The 17-year-old metamorphmagus had grown a lot over the last year and he towered over her being almost two heads taller than she was.
His hair was turquoise, his eye's brown (that often changed several times a day) and he was dressed very casually. A green long-sleeved t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a brown vest over it and a pair of plane blue jeans.
Victorie was also casually dressed in a simple purple dress with a white belt at her waist. She was wearing shoes this year, white ballerina slippers. And her hair had gotten longer. It was almost all the way down to her waist again.
She managed to find an empty spot on the table to put the plates down on and Teddy followed suite and placed the knives and forks on them.
"Do you like the cake?" He dropped down next to her presents and picked up one off the boxes that was wrapped in brown paper with blue ribbons all over it.
"Yeah, chocolate?" She grinned.
"Well I wasn't sure what kind of cake you like"
"So you picked on that you could finnish yourself if I didn't like it?" She teased and sat down on the floor between the table and the couch right in front of her pile of presents.
"Who's that from?" she pointed to the box Teddy was holding.
"Ehh… it says… To Victorie from Percy, Audrey, Molly and Lucy." He read the sticker on the front of the package.
"Open it you!" Victorie nodded to him and grabbed another one for herself.
It was clear that her family had talked to each outer about the gifts they were sending her cause the first one from her uncle and cousins that Teddy opened consisted of a music player. Then next one, from her uncle Ron and his family where a pile of muggle cd's, her grandparents had sent her some records with popular French music and she got "magical hits during 2010-2015" from her aunt Ginny and her family.
Harry and Ginny had even included Teddy's name on the present even though he insisted that the cake and food where his gifts to her.
"But you didn't do any of that really, you just got the house elves in the kitchen to make it for you!" She teased at that.
"I had to get it up here though! And I stole the plates" he said with a gleam in his eyes.
"So I can keep the plates?" Victorie said in a mock voice as she started opening the present from her grandparents Molly and Arthur.
They had sent her some framed photos from the summer when all the Weasley cousins had been to the Burrow for a week.
There was a picture that her cousin Albus had taken of Victorie and her cousins Rose and Lily down by the water. The girls on the magical picture laughed at the camera and little Lily with, wavy red hair and a mischievous expression on her face, playfully splashed water at her brother holding the camera.
Vicky laughed at the picture.
There were also a picture of a big group of people. The last day they had spent there all the parents had been over and grandpa Arthur had insisted on taking a picture of them all.
All 12 of the Weasley cousins, Teddy, Victories Parents. Her four uncles (and tree of them with their wife's) and her aunt and her husband. Where all crammed in to one picture along with Molly and Arthur himself. All the cousins in pictures where pouching to be the one that showed the most and not to have one of the others step on their feet.
As Teddy continued to laugh at the hat Vicky's brother Louis had insisted on wearing the whole summer or the shirt that Roxanne was wearing which she and Molly had spent the entire summer fighting over, Vicky started the music player and put on one of the muggle cd's Hermione had sent her.
The first song started and Victorie jumped up from the floor and started dancing.
She pulled at Teddy's arm to get him to dance with her.
He put up a half- hearted fight before giving in and started moving to the music with her.
They danced there for a while, Teddy spinning Vicky around several times since she seemed to love it and all he really had to do was lift his arm over her head as she spun completely out of beat to the music.
About five songs in they stopped, collapsing on the couch completely exhausted.
Of course the movement made this year's card from Gabrielle, which they had been ever so careful with not opening, fall on to the floor.
They both jumped back up in surprise and it took Teddy a moment to remember he had been prepared for this and cast a silencing charm on the card. It made the singing stop but there was no getting rid of the giant white feathers that had started raining down on them.
No magic would get rid of them so finally they just gathered them up and stuffed them in a wardrobe that appeared out of nowhere.
They spent the rest of the evening playing thru most of the music Victorie had gotten, except the French ones sense Teddy said he had gotten enough French last year.
They ate a lot, finished the whole cake and also most of the proper food.
By the time they left they were so full they were both feeling a bit drowsy.
"You over did it with the food I think" Vicky giggled a little as they started to clean up.
"It was mostly the cake I think, maybe it was a bit big for two people. Next year we'll go with just the cake and no food, how does that sound?"
"Brilliant, why have food when there are heaps of chocolate to eat?" Vicky rolled her eyes a little, but the smile and tone in her voice where genuine.
Teddy put his arm around her shoulders. "It's amazing how well you get me!" he joked and handed her one of the golden plates that they hadn't used.
"What?" she looked at it confused.
"Well you asked if you could keep it!" He winked. "My birthday present to you.
She laughed, pushed him off of her, took the plate and dropped it in to her bag with her other presents and then they left.
Vicky returned right before the rest of the Ravenclaws and managed to get up to her dorm room without having to answer annoying questions from her siblings.
Teddy on the other hand walked in to a full Gryffindor tower. But at least all his friends knew by now how much he disliked the celebrations that nobody questioned where he had been.
