Because... I don't know, it just came to me.
Baby Harry was squealing his head off. Gabrielle and Remus wanted a story read. Teddy was on a raid.
Through all the chaos, Victoire was astonished to find little Lucy, only 18, standing on her doorstep.
Lucy had been fired, didn't have money to pay rent, and needed a place to stay. She'd made a bet with her father, so she couldn't go home and Molly was teaching at Hogwarts and…
Victoire held up a hand as Harry drifted off to sleep. "You're welcome here," the elder cousin said. "As long as you babysit." She winked.
Lucy's face lit up.
First of all, not my favorite, but it comes with the exciting announcement that I wrote 4 more chapter-ish-things last night that should be going up soon. (Because really, who needs sleep?)
Secondly, Teddy's an auror, hence the "Teddy was on a raid" line.
And last but not least, thanks to my 7 reviewers from last chapter. Can we beat seven this time?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go make a study guide for my history test. Or maybe I'll go plot my new Lily Evans/James Potter I story... ;)
