Teddy is ten and Victorie is nine…

Victorie was bouncing up and down in excitement; she, Teddy and her father were on their way to a quidditch match. The Chudley Cannons verses the Harpies, Teddy was for the Cannons and Victorie was for the Harpies. They had great seats right by the middle of the field, but high enough to see everything.

The players mounted their brooms and kicked off. After the captains shook and the snitch was released and they were off. After two hours of sitting and watching the game Victorie jumped up, pulling Teddy with her.

"Look the seekers diving Teddy, Teddy LOOK!", Victorie was standing up shaking Teddy and pointing to the Harpies seeker as she dove by her teams hoops closely followed by the Cannons seeker. I current score was 390-430 Cannons, if the Harpies seeker caught the snitch, they would win and the game would be over.

"No!" Teddy moaned as the woman held the tiny golden ball high in her hand to show it off.

"See Teddy I told you the Harpies would win", Victorie said with a smug laugh. Teddy didn't want her to know that he was impressed that girls could play quidditch. Quidditch was for boys, people get hurt and all girls would do is cry. Teddy told Victorie his thoughts and he was surprised at her reaction. He forgot she was part-veela; Victorie had the veela temper as well as pretty hair and stuff.

"WHAT! GIRLS CAN PLAY TOO! GIRLS ARE JUST AS TOUGH AS BOYS!" Victorie screeched in a sudden rage at Teddy's words. Teddy fell back shocked at Victorie for yelling at him, she never yelled at him.

"What Victorie? It's true; you cry more than I do. I think all girls cry more than boys, it's because were tougher." Teddy said with a note of pride in his voice.

Victorie was so mad at Teddy. How can he think boys are tougher? I've seen him cry, the only time I'm sure he saw me cry was that time he got sand in my eyes and I fell in the ocean. I'm not going to talk to him ever again!

"Victorie? Hello? VICTORIE? Why aren't you talking?!" Teddy asked in panic. Victorie was his best friend and he didn't want her to hate him. He felt sorry for what he said and hurried to catch her just as she stepped into the fireplace and shouted "Shell Cottage".

"VICTORIE WAIT!" Teddy called and he saw Victorie look at him with tears running down her face as the green flames engulfed her and she was gone.
