Here's another chapter! They all seem so much longer in Word. I might do a little story about Mark and Maria, if I have the time. Thanks so much for the reviews.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
As always, please read and review!
Teddy's POV:
The days in Paris seemed to fly by. Today at noon Dom is coming to stay for a week, and maybe Molly, if Percy and Audrey let her. Vic seems excited to see her sister. Dominique and I have a unique friendship. We're friends, but different than how I am friends with Vic. Dom is like one of they guys, but still extremely girly at the same time. She and Vic are great friends, but complete opposites. At 14 Dom has already developed a reputation among the male population at Hogwarts, as well as a reputation in the party scene. She's really great fun.
Molly is another story. She's quiet, reserved and extremely focused and studious. The same could not be said about Dom. Molly's very much like Percy was in his Hogwarts days. She's a shoo in for Prefect and will probably be Head Girl. Molly does have quite the rebellious streak. She's not a total party girl like Dom, but has started to enjoy herself at parties.
Vic and I have been getting closer and closer. I feel like we were meant to be, and she does too. Lately we've been sleeping in only our underwear, snogging before bed, but nothing else has happened in that department. Not yet. I'm waiting until she is ready. Our days in Paris are numbered though, and I'd like it to happen before she goes back to school and I go to work.
I received a letter the other day from the Department of Magical Law. They would like me to start working on September 3. I will be in an entry level position, but hopefully I will be able to work my way up to par with Hermione. Well, eventually anyways. I'm just glad I have a job. Once we get back to England I'm going to start looking for a flat. I want to live in London, close to the Ministry.
Everybody decided to stay in this morning until Dom gets here. She'll probably want to go out and party. I hear the fireplace start to roar. The girls downstairs start to squeal, so I assume that Dom and Molly have arrived. I stretch and pull myself away from my daydreaming, plodding downstairs to greet them.
"Teddy!" they both shout, coming over to give me a hug. I hug them both back. "How's it going?" Dom ask, somewhat suggestively. "I'm not answering that," I tell her, messing up her short blond hair. Much to Fleur's chagrin, Dom likes to keep her hair cropped short in an edgy sort of look. She ignores me, and turns to the rest of the group. "Alright, so where are we going out tonight?"
"Dom, Gab only wants us to drink in the house. Plus nobody will serve you," Vic tells her. Dom laughs, "Oh they'll serve me. Come on, we can start the party and then come back her and finish her off!" Everybody nods their head in agreement. Vic had been very careful about the rules that Gabrielle set. It's been fun, but we all want a night out. Even Vic seems bored of coming home every night before things get even a wee bit out of control. "Alright fine. We can go out tonight. But for now go upstairs and unpack, both of you! Then we need to talk." Vic tells Molly and Dom. All the girls go upstairs probably to talk about something. That leaves Mark and Jules' friend from last night. He says goodbye and shuffles out the door.
"He seemed nice enough," Mark commented to me, "I mean better than that Muggle she brought home one night. Could've warned me before I started cleaning using magic." I laugh at the memory of Mark trying to explain how he made the dishes wash themselves. "That was funny!" I tell him, thinking about all of the good times we had had in Paris. "Mark, what are you going to do when we get back to London? Get a flat? A job?" I ask. Mark sits down, thinking. "I've really got no idea yet. I want to get my own flat, but I don't know if I'll have a job when I get back. I applied at the Leaky Cauldron, and some other places. Academics weren't really my thing, you know that. I just want to get out of my parent's house and start my own life," he replies.
Suddenly a brilliant idea pops into my head, "Why don't we get a flat together? It can be close to the Leaky or wherever you end up working, and close to the ministry. Plus we can split the rent. It doesn't need to be huge, it just needs two bedrooms." Mark smiles, "Two bedrooms, eh Lupin? You and Vic don't fancy sharing with me and Maria?" I punch him on the arm, "No we most certainly do not. But seriously, do you want to go in on a flat with me?" He ponders, jokingly though, I know he wants to. "Of course Teddy! It will be great. Let's start looking the second we get back. The sooner I get out the better."
Victoire's POV:
Dom and Molly are sharing the bedroom close to Jules. Dom knows where it is and lugs her huge suitcase up the stairs. For somebody only staying she sure packed a lot. Molly has a small little suitcase. Molly is more sensible, like me. Dom is crazy, and out of control. Jules, Maria and I follow them up. I need to set some ground rules for my uncontrollable sister. Dom throws her suitcase on the bed, while Molly starts to unpack. The two of them are best friends, yet polar opposites. I shut the door behind me.
"Look Dom, you can't go really crazy tonight. Or any other night. You're 14. If you want to get royally pissed, do it here. Please. Molly, I'm being sensible right?" I ask my younger cousin. "Yeah Dom, Vic's right. You can't get in trouble in Paris, or your parents are sending you to Beauxbatons. You heard your mother, she's quite angry." I whip my head around. "Wait, what happened?" Jules asks, very curious. "Yes Dominique, what did happen?"
Dom looks at the floor embarrassed and ashamed, "Well, er, one night I sort of snuck out, and went out in the Muggle world, and um didn't come back until the next morning and mum and dad found out so they're extremely mad and I just don't know what to do. They're so disappointed because I'm such a bloody screw up!" she exhales, completely breaking down. I break down, not being able to stand seeing my baby sister cry. I rush over and give her a hug.
"Domi you're not a screw up! You're beautiful and amazing and we all love you, no matter what shit you get yourself into!" I lean back, wiping away her tears. She laughs. "What's so funny?" I ask. "You've changed you know," she tells me, "Since you and Teddy got together. It's good, I like it. You're not so uptight anymore." Maria chimes in, "It's true Vic, and you're quite a lot of fun now."
"Alright, alright, now that we've gone through how I'm such a great person, can you please unpack your bloody suitcase? Oh and you're not moving here, despite the size of your bag." I tell Dom. She smiles, and unzips her suitcase. After she's done unpacking she gives me an evil little smile, "So when are you and Teddy going to have sex? I mean it's obvious you haven't yet," she tells me, looking me up and down. "How can you tell?" I ask her. Once again I get the evil smile, "I mean look at Jules. She obviously got some last night."
Jules blushes, "How the hell would you know?" she says to Dom, "You're only 14, you shouldn't know about things like sex, drugs and alcohol. You are just Vic's little sister!" Dom spins around, falling backwards onto her bed, "Ah but I'm so much more than just Vic's little sister. Just wait until tonight!" I finish speaking with Molly privately, and decide to make an announcement, which will probably kill all of Dom's plans for tonight.
"Um Dom, can I talk to you for a moment, privately?" I ask her. "Sure doll," she answers, probably high on a little more than life. I don't know why it took me so long to see everything. "Dom darling you know I love you right?" She nods. "I was talking with Molly and she thinks that it would be a better idea for us to just stay in tonight. Molly says you've been drinking a lot lately, which I don't really have a problem with but it seems like you're, er, an-" Dom cuts me off, "A what Vic? An alcoholic? Because I'm not an alcoholic I know that. I just like to have a good time. Trust me on this Vic. Let's stay in, that's fine. I just need you to trust me." I give her a hug, "I do trust you. But if there's anything at all you need to talk about with me, just please, feel free. I love you D," I tell her. "Love you more V," she hugs me back.
"I'm going to go talk to everybody and tell them about the change of plans. You and Molly should rest," I tell her. She goes back into her bedroom and shuts the door. I sigh and head back downstairs. "Hey, change of plans everybody! We're just going to stay in tonight. But apparently I'm more fun, so let's open up some Firewhiskey!" I tell my friends, who are all lounging around downstairs. "Yeah Victoire!" Mark yells, running into the kitchen to find a bottle. He cracks it open and we all crowd around to get some.
After a few hours of partying we are all completely drunk. Except for Molly, who was smart enough to slip us all some sobering potion. That girl is amazing. I'm dead tired and decide to go to bed, pulling Teddy behind me. I think I'm still a little drunk, because I'm more confident than usual. We shut the door behind us. I start pulling at his clothes. Pretty soon I'm wearing only my bra and underwear, and he's wearing only his boxers. We fall onto the bed, snogging. Teddy starts to pull at my bra. "Vic?" he asks, my name asking everything. "Yes," I answer him, "I'm ready."
I rub my eyes as I groggily wake up. I realize I'm wearing no clothes, and I smile. Last night, I Victoire Appoline Weasley, had sex with Teddy Lupin. I am no longer a virgin. I fall back asleep, completely content.
Teddy's POV:
Last night, Vic and I had sex. We made love. It was brilliant. I really hope she feels as great as I do. I feel her stirring beside me, so I pull her closer. She's an early riser and right now I want her as close to me as possible. She opens her eyes quickly, looking directly into mine. I smile at her, and she smiles back. "I love you," I tell her. "I love you too," she says, snuggling into my chest. I stroke her hair and we both drift back to sleep.
A few hours later a voice is coming through the locked door. I recognize it as Dom's, and groan a little bit. "Wake up! We want to go play quidditch this morning but you two have been in there for ages!" she shouts, pounding on the door. Vic has slipped out of bed and is searching around the room for athletic clothes to wear for quidditch. I see her struggling into a sports bra and spandex shorts. She pulls a ripped shirt over her head and grabs some sneakers.
I jump out of bed and put on athletic, a shirt and some sneakers. She goes into the bathroom to brush her and her teeth. Being a Metamorphagus, I can clean my teeth and fix my hair, magically. She comes out of the bathroom and I take her hand, we kiss quickly and then head downstairs, where presumably everybody is ready to go.
"Oh my goodness!" Dom squeals, and goes up to give Vic a big hug. Damn. She does know. Mark gives me a look and I nod. He smiles and chuckles a little. "Alright now that these two lovebirds have emerged, let's go play some quidditch!" Mark says. Maria slaps him on the arm. Vic and I grab some bagels and head out the door. All of us walk together to the athletic club wear we have the pitch reserved.
After quidditch everybody goes back to the house. The time flies by and soon it is time for Dom and Molly to leave. Everybody gives their hugs, and soon they are engulfed by flames. "Well that was a fun visit," Jules says, "Little witch loves to spill about all of my secret lovers." Maria laughs, "Jules, those guys aren't secrets." Everybody nods. Most people in Hogwarts know all about Jules and how she won't go farther than a second date with anybody. "Right, well now that the youngsters are gone, Maria and I are going to start cooking dinner," Mark says, pulling Maria into the kitchen.
Fifteen minutes later Maria calls out, "Appetizers!" We all shuffle into the kitchen, which smells delicious and spicy. As we sit down to great conversation, and great food, I realize how lucky we all really are. This has been the best summer of my life, and I'll be sad when it's over.
