"Hey Vikky!" Christian McLaggen called, jogging to catch up with the blonde girl. "Hogsmeade weekend, go with me?" She rolled her eyes and shot a jinx at him, causing him to trip and the surrounding crowd to laugh at him. "The answer is yes I take it?"

"Bugger off McLaggen and go find a girl who doesn't care about personality," she replied. "I like my men a bit more colourful than the dreary colour you represent." She shot the brunet - who was still on the floor - a smirk before turning and leaving him alone, catching up with a couple of her friends who had walked ahead.

"I can't believe you turned down McLaggen," Alice explained, giggling behind her hand. "He's gorgeous!" Victoire rolled her eyes.

"If you think so, then go ask him. I'm sure it won't give your dad a heart attack at all." Professor Longbottom was one of the best that were currently teaching at Hogwarts but he was known for being extremely protective of his little go and they were all aware of the dislike he held for the boy - pair it together and it was just asking for trouble.

"We all know why she turned him down," their other friend and Victorie's younger cousin, Roxanne snorted. "I may not be in your year but even I know that she's holding a flame for a certain metamorphmagus." Alice giggled and Victoire flushed, bowing her head as her two close friends laughed and teased her. "How is Teddy anyway?"

"Shut up," she hissed, covering Roxanne's mouth with her hand, eyes wide as she scanned the area for the blue haired boy. "There is nothing going on, so keep your thoughts to yourself."

"But you wish there to be," Alice prodded. "Right?" Victoire sighed and released the hold she had on her cousin before nodding.

"He's just everything I need, ya'know?" Roxanne smiled softly whilst Alice sighed; it didn't go unnoticed by either of them that she used 'need' and not 'want'. "Is it socially acceptable for a witch to ask a wizard to Hogsmeade?"

"Even if it wasn't," Roxanne said. "Aunt Hermione would throw a fit and make it okay. Do it. We all know what he's going to say."

He was in the Transfiguration Courtyard when Victoire finally found him, sitting on a bench talking to a Ravenclaw that was in his year. Victoire stood to the side, waiting patiently for them to finish their conversation before she went over. She may be eager but she was brought up with manners.

Teddy looked up and saw her, smiling stiffly in her direction before turning and saying something to the girl - she didn't know her name and by the way she was touching his leg, she didn't want to - who then looked in her direction and nodded. "I'll see you on Saturday," she called as she walked away. "It's a date."

Victoire's heart stopped. It shattered when he didn't make a move to deny it.

"Hey Victoire, how are-" he never got to finish his sentence before she was waltzing away in the direction she'd come from without a word to him. With her back to him, it was easier to hide the tears.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to Hogsmeade?" Alice asked, brushing Victoire's hair as they sat in their dormitory. The Weasley had been stuck in her room for the past two days, only coming out for lessons and receiving her meals from the House Elves or Alice and Roxanne. She hadn't seen Teddy since the announcement of his date and she didn't think that she'd be able to handle seeing him with his date today.

"I can't see them Alice," Victoire sighed and the brushing stopped to be replaced with arms wrapping around her from behind for a hug.

"We'll stay in today. Roxanne said that she has homework to do so she'll be in the Common Room practically all day. Maybe we could give her company?" Victoire nodded and shuffled out of the room and down the stairs, still in her pyjamas.

"Do you see her?" Jennifer asked, his Ravenclaw date. Teddy shook his head as he carried on looking round the crowded pub for her familiar blonde hair. "Seems like the date patrol is a bust. She did hear me say it was a date, maybe she got the idea that you were watching her and decided to head somewhere else?"

Teddy growled and ran a hand through his hair, the blue turning to a frustrated purple. "Are you okay with walking around Hogsmeade with me? We've only just sat down."

"Ted, this is what friends do. Let's go."

"You!" Teddy shouted, grabbing a kid by the collar of his shirt and pulling him into an alley, pinning him against the wall. "Where the hell is Victoire?"

Christian winced as he tried to get comfortable against the cold bricks before sighing and looking up at the metamorphmagus. "Really Lupin? Why would I know?" The confusion showed on the older boy's face. "Oh. Oh. You thought we were-? Oh that's laughable. I asked her and she said no though the fact that you think I can get somebody who reeks that much perfection is really ego-boosting."

"You mean… there was no date?"

"Nope," he replied, popping the 'p'. "She said that she needed someone with a more colourful personality. I can only take that to mean you," he told him, indicating his colour changing hair as it ranged from purple, to red before settling on blue. "Now, can I go back to my date please?"

"You weren't on a date with McLaggen," Teddy called as he stormed into the Common Room. Victoire paled and immediately rolled off the couch that was resting in front of the fire, trying to head to the stairs that led to the Girl's Dormitories.

"Oh Merlin," Roxanne exclaimed, grinning and throwing her quill down.

"I was looking everywhere for you and I even cornered the little squirt. You've been here the whole day."

"Is that what you do on dates then Teddy? Stalk people?" Victoire snapped back. "Well in that case, leave me alone!" He blinked with confusion and turned his head to look at Roxanne who merely crossed her arms and glared at him. "You and that Ravenclaw bint must have had a right good time, running around Hogsmeade as you looked for me."

"Date? Ravenclaw? Oh, you mean Jennifer?"

"Giving her a name, doesn't make this better!"

"We were on date patrol! I wanted to make sure that it wasn't serious so at the end of the day, you'd still be mine." Victoire's jaw dropped and the Common Room was filled with Alice's sigh. "Not that you are mine but I want you to be mine and I consider you mine because I've been basically in love with you for years and wow, I wish I was like my dad right now and was able to keep all these emotions and words inside where they weren't out for everyone to see." He ran a hand across his face and when he looked up afterwards, Victoire was standing right before him.

"You love me?"

"If I say yes, do I get a kiss?"

She kissed him anyway.
