Ted,
Oh, I've forgotten to mention you, actually. Besides they're all so head over heels for all the gentlemen here. I don't think you're quite to their taste.
I will be too busy to write much with the exams coming so quickly,
See you in a few weeks,
-Victoire
"She's home by now."
"Wish we got out that early."
Ted grinned evilly. "Bet she's enjoying the snow."
"Oh, eet is so cold here," Jacob mocked in a high voice, "I wish zat Teddy were here to warm me up."
"She doesn't have an accent." Frank corrected.
"Shut up." Ted ducked back down to his essay. "and leave her alone."
"You leave her alone."
Christmas was busy. Victoire was quiet, she didn't participate much in the weasley/potter festivities. Ted regaled stories of Hogwarts to the younger kids eager to have their time there and even tried to scare up a snowy game of quidditch that ended in hot chocolate by the fire. Victoire was game for the hot chocolate.
Lily, Hugo and Rose had fallen asleep under the christmas tree while Albus and James regaled the quidditch match by the fire. Teddy sat down next to victoire.
" . . .You cold?" Why were words suddenly so awkward for them. They had never lacked in conversation before. The steady fear that they were growing apart was too much for Ted. He handed her a blanket and asked her a few questions about school before she fell asleep.
It was two months before they exchanged any letters.
