Teddy wanted to hang out with his best friend, and crush, Victoire. But, today he was staying at Potter Manor, and he was babysitting James, Albus and lily. He loved to hang out with his little siblings, and always had a blast. Harry and Ginny were at some ball for the Ministry. All the adults in his family were. Which meant that Victoire was watching Dom and Louis. She was probably having a much harder time than Teddy. Dom didn't listen to a word Victoire said, ever. Dom would get grounded for weeks, but she didn't care. She would never give in and listen to Vic. James said he was too old for a babysitter, Harry told him that Teddy was just in charge so that nothing went wrong.

Teddy had asked Harry if any of the cousins could come over, and Harry had said only if the person in charge was okay with it. So, Teddy was going to floo over to Shell Cottage, and ask Victoire, Dom and Louis to come over. Teddy could still watch his three siblings, and Vic could watch her two siblings. James and Dom were best friends and Louis could hang with Albus. Lily loved to talk with Louis too. Maybe Hugo could come over later. So, Teddy walked over to the fireplace, and stuck his head in.

"Shell Cottage!" he exclaimed, and the house came into view. Teddy heard Vic and Dom fighting.

"You're so stupid Vic!"

"Dominique! I just asked you to stop messing with Dad's stuff! I'm not being stupid!"

"Ahem!" Teddy called but they didn't hear.

"Victoire, I was only helping Louis!"

"Louis was in the kitchen, eating! Stop lying!"

"Ahem!" Teddy called louder, but to no avail.

"Hey! Don't bring me into this!" Louis exclaimed.

"Ahem!" Teddy nearly screamed. They all looked at the fireplace.

"Teddy!" They all exclaimed, and rushed to the fireplace.

"Can I please come play with James?" Dom exclaimed.

"Vic's driving me crazy!"

"Well I was wondering if all three of you would want to come over."

"Yeah!" They all exclaimed.

"I'll just write a note to Mum and Dad, and then we'll come right over." Vic told him.

"Okay, see ya soon." Teddy lifted his head out.

"James! Al! Lily!" Teddy called. The three kids came bouncing in.

"Teddy, I'm bored! Play with us." Lily pouted.

"I'm sorry Lils. I asked Vic, Dom and Louis to come over. Does that sound fun?"

"Yeah!" The three kids exclaimed.

"I have something to show Dom! This is awesome!" James exclaimed. Just then the three siblings flooed in.

"Hey guys!" Vic greeted them with a smile.

"Vicky!" Lily launched herself at Victoire.

"Hi Lily!" Victoire gave Lily a big hug. "How are you sweetheart?"

"Good." Lily smiled.

"Good. I'm glad."

Potter Manor was set up like so; the first floor had the kitchen, dining room, formal living room, the apparating room, fireplace "flooing room", and the visitors bathroom. The second floor the lounge room, the theater room, the studies, game room and the playroom. The third floor had the bedrooms, and many guest rooms. The fourth floor was a huge open storage room.

"We're going up to my room!" James exclaimed, and he pulled Dom upstairs.

"Louis you can come and play in my room," Albus told him.

"No, lets all play in the play room!" Lily exclaimed.

"Alright." Al and Louis agreed.

"See you guys." Teddy called after them.
"Do you want to go up to the lounge?" Teddy asked Victoire, getting excited to spend time just the two of them.

"Sure." Vic followed Teddy up the stairs.

"So, what have you been up to lately? It's weird over the holidays, when we're not at Hogwarts." Vic said.

"Well, I've just been here and at grandmothers. I think grandma misses me the most when I'm gone. I'm all she has. Granddad, Mum, and Dad all died in the war."

"Yeah, Mum and Dad have all of us at Hogwarts. Dad said it's really nice." They both laughed.

"Harry and Ginny are like my parents, and they have Al and Lily still at home. I bet Harry will cry when Lily goes to school." Teddy and Victoire laughed again.

"Well, it would be sad for your youngest child to finally leave." Victoire said.

"True. But your parents didn't cry when Louis left." Teddy said.

"Yeah, but did you see Uncle George when it was Roxanne's first year. He was pretty close to crying." Victoire laughed.

"That's true." Teddy agreed.

Just then, Hugo and Lily came into the lounge, and sat down on beanbags.

"Hi Hugo." Teddy greeted lazily, then "Wait! How'd you get here Hugo?"

"Through the floo network." Hugo gave Teddy a look as if Teddy was being completely stupid.

"Who were you staying with?"

"Me and Rosie were with Grandma and Grandpa Granger."

"Oh, did your grandparents say you could come over?"

"Yep. Rosie's upstairs with Albus." Hugo told him.

"Oh, fun." Victoire smiled at her little cousin. Hugo and Lily then left, saying they were going to go gets snacks from the kitchen.

"Hugo is a really sweet little kid." Victoire commented. "Hey is really quiet and soft spoken, a big contrast with Rosie."

"Just like James and Albus. Albus is very quiet too." Teddy added.

"Yeah, Al is super sweet. Lily is adorable too."

"I know. I love playing with Lily. She is the cutest little thing." Teddy smiled, thinking of his little sister. "She's like my little sister."

"It's too bad that you don't have any real siblings."

"Believe me, I know." Teddy smiled sadly.

"Sorry." Victoire mumbled, "I didn't mean to upset you."

"Don't worry you didn't." Teddy smiled at her.

After a few minutes, James poked his head in,

"Fred and Roxanne just got here." And then he left.

"So now all we're missing is Molly and Lucy." Victoire pointed out, and they laughed.

They talked for a while longer, and Teddy came close to telling her how he felt more than once. He kept chickening out, and stopping short. After a while though, Teddy said,

"Well, I have confession." Victoire looked at him funnily, and hadn't gone unnoticed, that he was trying to tell her something.

"Okay, what is it."

"I-" Just then, James burst in with Dom and Fred hot on his heals.
"Molly and Albus and Rosie were downstairs in the living room, and knocked over Mum's vase!" James said in a rush of words.

"What are we going to do?"

"Molly's here?" Victoire asked, although she wasn't surprised.

"Yeah, and Lucy." Fred said.

"That doesn't matter right now!" James exclaimed. "What about Mum's vase! She's going to be so bloody mad!"

"Language!" Victoire scolded.

"Whatever." James said lazily.

"Fine." Teddy sighed and got up, feeling dejected.
