We are getting near the end of this story. No I'm not done with Teddy's life yet, but other bunnies are clamoring for attention. After I get them taken care of we will see what happens from here

Teddy 18

Teddy and Victoire spent the summer blissfully redefining their relationship. Harry had the TALK with Teddy. "Blimey Uncle Harry! First I respect Victoire way too much to do anything that makes her uncomfortable. Second Have you seen her Dad? Third do you know how many uncles she has?"

Harry chuckled as he remembered the "chat" Ginny's brothers had with him right after he and Ginny had gotten back together.

The summer flew by and before they knew it September 1st had arrived. Teddy carried Bounty's cage to an empty compartment for Victoire. He had decided that a backpacker with a caged owl might be something even muggles would notice, so Bounty was going to school with Victoire.

They had settled in for a long goodbye snog when James had burst in on them. It had taken Victoire pulling out her wand and mumbling the word 'bats' to get him to leave. Much too soon the whistle was blowing and it was time for him to leave her.

Teddy had said goodbye to his Gran that morning and was meeting harry and Ginny for Lunch before he caught a portkey to Paris.

"So James tells us he burst in on you um, saying goodbye to Victoire." Uncle Harry smiled. "I hope he didn't ruin the moment. OW!" Aunt Ginny had slapped Uncle Harry up side the head.

Bounty found him that night in a magical youth hostel, just outside of Paris. Teddy was contentedly full of good bread and soup. The only complaint that he had was the tea was awful!

My love, It has been just a few short hours since we said goodbye, but yet It seems like forever. The five little ones did cause quite a stir. Albus, Lois, Roxanne and Rose were all sorted in to Gryffendor and Lucy joined her sister and Dominique in Ravenclaw.

You'll never guess who was sorted in to Gryffendor too. Scorpius Malfoy. Apparently the Malfoys must have finally gotten new blood in the breeding stock with his mum. He seems like a sweet kid.

Oh I don't think we will have to worry about the terrible two getting out of hand after I leave. I came in to the common room tonight to find that Roxanne and Rose had beaten them up because they had transfigured Roxanne's tie into a snake.

Write me soon about all your adventures and stay away from the women of Paris! Love, Victoire

My dearest, Why would I even look at another when my heart belongs to the example of the finest product of the pairing of France and England? You know none can compare to your beauty and brains! Your devoted Teddy.

OK Lupin, hitting the wine a bit heavy are we? Or has all the pastries put you in sweetness overload? Victoire

OH cruel keeper of the key to my heart. I pour out my deepest feelings for you and you accuse me of being a drunkard! A distraught T. Lupin.

Oi! Do I have to send Uncle Harry over there to get you in to a 12 step program? I think it's time you moved on to a country with a few less vineyards! V.

By this time Bounty was sick and tired of having flown the channel five times and bit Teddy hard on the nose.

Teddy caught him nice fat Paris rat and let him rest a whole day before sending Victoire a bottle of perfume and this note;

V, Bounty has shown his disapproval at the frequency of our playful exchange. How about we write once a week? Remember I love you! T.

Bounty was much happier after that as Teddy worked his way through France, Switzerland, Austria and finally Romania. With every letter he sent Victoire a small gift from where he was and she sent him good English tea and letters from the cousins.

Rose had posted a map in the common room and it was full of small pictures of Teddy waving at each of the stops he had described to them.

Teddy and Victoire had grown up together and knew each other's lives well, but through their letters they each came to understand the other's heart.

He met up with Uncle Charlie just before Christmas and they returned to England together for the holidays.

The day after his return to England found him the new headquarters of WWW, nervously waiting for a word with Bill.

"Uncle Bill, I know this may seem sudden and you might think Victoire is too young, but I'm willing to wait until you think she is old enough ………canipleasehaveyourpermissiontoaskvictoiretomarryme?"

With just the briefest hesitation, just long enough to translate what Teddy had said in to english, Bill came around his desk and hugged him hard. "Of course you can."

Bill's head appeared in the fire at Shell cottage. "Fleur, Fleur! You owe me 50 gallens!"

Tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

I promise I'll take you through the wedding.
