Eleven Years Later (2009) \\ The Beginning of Forever and Always \\ WICELA

Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter series nor everything that comes with it. The rights go to J.K. Rowling. The only thing I own is the holes in her stories that I filled with my fantasies.

A/N: So I'm really bad in what-does-young-people-say-or-think thing and I'm sorry if I made them behaving more grown-up than how they should (perhaps you could give me advise so I can change it?). Furthermore: I dislike this chapter, because it's a filler. Bleugh.

"Teddy! There you are! Finally back with us!" Harry laughed when he picked the boy up from the station.

"I swear you've grown at least five inches!" Teddy grumbled a bit when Harry messed with his hair, but was immediately distracted when someone tapped him.

"Euhm…Teddy…my parent's-they…" It was Andrew and he was looking very nervous. He'd told Teddy just recently about his parents. His parents had been acting weird around him since he got his Hogwarts letter. The stories about wizards and witches had been true. Everything they only red in books, was true. It had been a bit too much for his parents and they decided to divorce. It wasn't only Andrew's Hogwarts letter, because they were fighting all the time, but this was the final cause for their divorce. Andrew's father worked for some typical muggle thing and was flying around the world like all the time. When Teddy had asked how his father flew, Andrew explained some weird metal constructing flying through the sky. It reminded Teddy of the car of Harry, because that was able to fly too, but apparently this 'airplane' was completely different from that. It wasn't exactly a surprise for Andrew when his father had told him that he couldn't make it for his Christmas break to pick him up. Andrew's mother however, didn't react on any owl Andrew had sent, but leaving him completely alone at King's Cross wasn't exactly what Andrew had expected.

"Euhm…you know-my mother-euhm…"

"Andrew, this is my godfather Harry Potter." It was nice Andrew was a muggleborn. He wasn't acting weird around him when Teddy had told him who had raised him.

"Pleasure!" Andrew said, offering Harry his hand.

"Harry, this is Andrew, a friend of mine." Harry nodded a bit vaguely.

"I told you about him in my letters." Teddy whispered in his ear. Harry smiled the minute he realized it was that Andrew.

"Nice to meet you, Andrew!" Harry said and Teddy smiled.

"Harry, can Andrew stay with us for a while? His father is traveling around the world and his mother…euhm…well…she isn't able to pick him up."

"Of course." Harry said. Somewhere Teddy knew Andrew reminded Harry a bit about himself. From the things Harry had told him, Teddy knew that they were in some ways similar. For example the fact they both didn't have another place like home than Hogwarts.

"Oh, just so you know Teddy: we will immediately go to the Burrow. Everyone is really excited to hear those Hogwarts stories out of first hand and there is a certain girl who missed you really much!" Teddy laughed a bit awkward. Victoire and him had been writing many letters and she somehow sounded even more grownup than him. He missed her too, but would she be the same girl in the letters as she was in real life now? She was, of course, only seven. How big were the chances that she'd been writing letters with her girly girl friends in the neighborhood?

"So you do have a girlfriend!" Andrew said laughingly.

"Are you two finally a couple?" Harry reacted.

"Why didn't you admit it?" Andrew and Harry said in unison.

"Woah! Victoire and I aren't together. Like…eulgh! Couldn't think about something more horrible than that! All those guys at school are talking about girls like they own them or something, but I don't like them. I'm more the person who likes Do and Roxy, but they aren't at school, so I guess I'm not interested." Harry laughed and Teddy just shook his head.

"But tell me about your family, Teddy?" Andrew asked. Teddy had told him something about his family, but after Demetrius's warning, he wasn't that open anymore.

"Well you have Harry, who is my godfather and he's married to Ginny…"

"…who is the most beautiful woman in the world, let's not forget that, Teddy!" Harry filled for him.

"Well, apparently that plus she's very nice to me. They have three children. James is like…the most rebellious one and he's an idiot. Albus is very quiet and Lily is very extrovert in what I remember."

"They didn't change that much then." Harry grinned.

"Most of times I live with my gran and she's very nice."

"Euhm, Teddy?" Harry said.

"Yes?"

"Well, your gran told me her sister informed her that your gran wasn't the only one with a grandchild. Her sister is very sorry about everything and wants her to meet her grandson. It is very likely you will meet her sister and her grandson too."

"O…" Teddy answered.

"Were that…the Malfoy's?" Harry nodded at that and smiled at him.

"But they're perfectly fine, I'm sure, otherwise your gran wouldn't let them meet you!" Teddy smiled back and continued his story.

"Okay, so you have Ron, who is Ginny's older brother, and he's married to Hermione. They have two children named Rose, who's the same age as Albus, and Hugo, who's the same age as Lily. I don't know them that much, because they are pretty young too. Then you have George, who is the older brother of both Ron and Ginny and he's married to Angelina. They have twins named Fred and Roxanne. They're pretty much like James. Roxy is very nice, but I don't talk that much with Fred. So then you have Percy, who is the older brother of George, Ron and Ginny and he's married to Audrey. They have also two children. Molly is the oldest and really a bookworm and Lucy is the age of Albus and Rose, I thought. She's very quiet too. Then you have Charlie, who hasn't got any wife or children. Sometimes he takes a girl home named Leah, but that's just occasionally. Last one is Bill who is the eldest of the redheads and he's married to Fleur. Fleur is from France and has a funny accent. They have three children. Victoire is nine, Dominique is the same age as Molly - who she doesn't like, obviously - and Louis is the same age as Fred, Roxy and James and is like the rest of them. So that's the whole lot I think?" Harry grinned at the explanation of their family.

"And your parents?" Andrew asked. Teddy looked down and his eyes asked Harry for help.

"Teddy's parents died at the Second Wizard War." Harry said softly.

"I-I'm so sorry Teddy - I didn't mean too…" Andrew started.

"It's alright. It was about time someone would aks me about them. I'm…I'm just glad you're the first to ask." Andrew smiled and looked outside.

"So the Burrow then?" Teddy smiled.

"It will feel like home, I swear."

"When will Teddy come?" Victoire was really impatient, but didn't she had the right to be impatient? Her best friend had been gone for half a year!

"He's coming, Victoire. He's coming!"

"Well, what if he decided to stay at Hogwarts? It's possible!"

"Like Teddy would do that!"

"Well if his Hogwarts buddies would be more exciting than us, yes he would do that!"

"Don't be like zat Victoire, otherwize you're grounded." Her mother was clearly not in the mood of an impatient-Victoire. Most people wouldn't say that was exactly unkind of her, noticing how she had to listen to all those 'he-will-he-won't-come' theories of her daughter, while Dominique kept running away.

"I zwear, Bill, we never should've learned Do how to walk!" Her father just laughed and kissed his wife.

"Please don't do that when I'm here!" Victoire exclaimed.

"And when I'm here! Like bleuh!" She looked up and there was her uncle George.

"I walked in on Harry and Ginny some years ago and eulgh!"

"Like you don't kiss your wife." Her father answered.

"Of course I never kiss my wife!" Victoire laughed at the surprised face her uncle was faking.

"What did I hear about you never kissing me?" Aunt Angelina walked into the room.

"Uncle George said you never kiss!" Victoire said cheerful.

"Well George, perhaps we should try that some time?" Her parents laughed at that and uncle George became a bit red.

"Nah, like you could resist me."

"Please, mum, dad, get a room!" Fred answered.

"He's mental that one. Only five years old!" Her father exclaimed.

"Well, he does use his fathers words." Uncle George said proudly.

"Definitely not going to kiss you anytime soon." Aunt Angelina decided.

"Eulgh, is seriously everyone in the world talking about kissing?" A famous bluehead said. Victoire was the first one who saw him and hugged him immediately.

"YOU'RE BACK!" She said, while the others all laughed.

"Okay, I say two years." Uncle Charlie said.

"I go with Charlie." Uncle Ron said.

"Nah, five years." Her dad said.

"Yeah, you wish Bill! Three years." Aunt Angelina.

"I go with Ang." Aunt Ginny.

"Me too."

"What? Fleur you know we're talking about our own daughter?"

"Two years, that's my max." Uncle George said laughingly.

"I go with Bill, knowing Teddy." Uncle Harry said. There were more bids, but Teddy had run away.

"C'mon Teddy! I wanted to play a game!" Victoire complained, but while she was running after him, she bumped into someone.

"Oh…I'm sorry!" The boy said. He was a bit shy, but Victoire smiled at him and used a bit of her Veela-powers.

"No problem. I'm Victoire and you are?" He smiled at her and became a bit nervous when she grabbed his hand.

"Euhm…I'm Andrew."

"Andrew? Oooh, Andrew! Teddy told me about you! You're a muggleborn right?"

"I-I guess?"

"Well, and can you give me an example of something really typical for a muggle?"

"Euuhh…" His mouth stood wide open and the minute he realized how to talk again he smiled a bit sheepishly.

"Well, you have a television?"

"Television?"

"Yes it's a big black screen and you can see there the shows you like and everything!"

"My aunt Hermione does have something like that at her place, I thought! And what kind of shows?"

"Well they're probably not like the shows you have, but there are talkshows and like shows with actors."

"Actors?"

"Well, euhm…I don't really know how to describe that." He stuttered and she smiled.

"Perhaps you can show me sometime?"

"You'd like that? I-I mean: sure!"

"Victoire, please don't give him a hard time!" Teddy said angrily.

"I don't give him a hard time! We're having fun and we were talking about tele-vise? Andrew promised me he's going to show me what that is!"

"Yeah while you used your Veela-powers!"

"I'm sorry, your what?" Andrew asked.

"Victoire has got Veela-powers, because she's a Veela."

"I'm not that much of a Veela, just an eight-Veela. Like you're one to talk, you're a Metamorphmagus!"

"Don't talk to me like that!" Teddy hissed, while his hair turned the darkest red.

"Like what?" Victoire said, while she set her Veela-powers on full-power.

"If the only way you ever get someone to talk to you is because of your Veela-powers, than you're pathetic!"

"Andrew and I bumped into each other, literally, so I don't know where you're talking about!"

"He's my friend so please don't do that ever again to someone who's my friend!"

"Teddy, Victoire, please, why don't you guys play a game or something?" It was her mother and Victoire smiled.

"Of course mum." Teddy shook his head, but she saw he forgave her.

"Let's play exploding snap!"
