Author's note: Thank you for reviewing NotSoAwry, ginandlunaBFF, carly4713, WhiteFerrets and muggleborn444, I'm sorry I haven't said so before, but I really do appreciate feedback, positive or negative (although when I say negative, I mean constructive criticism, not nar dat was crapp innit) If anybody has any requests I would be happy to take a stab at it.
Not all of the couples suggested in it are strictly canon, but I don't think any are strictly non-canon either. Remus and Lily for example- it could happen- two confused teenagers sharing a kiss and not wanting everyone to know about it because it would complicate everything..
Anyway! Next chapter, thank you for reviewing and favouriting and alerting and such!
"Teddy, I am so happy that I am now a Prefect too! And we have this wonderful bathroom!" Fifteen year old Victoire Weasley gushed to Teddy Lupin, sixth year prefect for Gryffindor house. Victoire herself was in Ravenclaw house, and had just been appointed the position of Prefect, to the immense pride of her parents. Her younger sister, Dominique, two years her junior was in Gryffindor house, along with Louis, their brother, one year Dominique's junior. The vast majority of the 'second generation' Weasley and Potter clan was in Gryffindor house. She had, secretly, been a tiny bit disappointed to have not been placed in the same house as Teddy Lupin, and, somewhat guiltily, felt more aggrieved by this than the fact that she was not in the same house as her siblings. The only relatives in her house were Molly and Lucy, her uncle Percy's daughters, who were three and four years her junior, respectively, so she did not share a particularly close bond with them.
"I know, it is pretty fantastic, don't you think?" Teddy asked, his hair reddening from it's usual mousy brown colour to match Victoire's deep auburn hair. Tonight was their first night back at Hogwarts, and Teddy had insisted that the two celebrate by taking a bath together. This might sound odd to some, but having grown up together, these barriers were broken before they were built. The two had spent every summer they could remember playing together and talking together, and swimming together, and eating ice cream together, and getting dragon pox together and so many other things. The two were practically inseparable during their summers.
Teddy lived with his grandmother Andromeda, but spent most of his time either at his godfather's house in Godric's Hollow, or at the Burrow with any passing members of the Weasley clan. He had recently helped Molly and Arthur Weasley redecorate the entire house. He was considered as much a member of the family as anybody else which was why Victoire worried about what everybody would say when she brought him home as her boyfriend, as he had been for the past two years. Given the close relationship all the Weasleys had with one another, and the fact that Teddy was an honorary Weasley member, she worried about what people would say (would they liken it to incest?). As a result, the two had been seeing each other in secret for the past two years, meeting by the lake or at the fringe of the Forbidden Forest, or sneaking into Hogsmeade to visit Uncle George.
"Wait, why have we been sneaking around so much, Teddy, if you've been a Prefect for a year and have been able to use this bathroom all along?" Victoire asked, suddenly realising how much easier the past two years could have been. Teddy looked thoughtful,
"I don't know," he admitted, "It's just that it was a Prefect thing, and I knew you would make Prefect, so I wanted it to be a nice surprise for when you officially got the badge."
"But then what if I hadn't got the badge, would you have showed me anyway?" she asked, not quite believing his story.
"Yes, of course I would!"
"But then why didn't you show me before?" she asked, starting to feel frustrated.
"Like I said, I wanted it to be a nice surprise.."
"Or is there somebody else that you have been meeting in here, away from where I can get you?" Victoire asked, thunder struck.
"Don't be stupid Vic, as if," Teddy insisted, but he wouldn't look her in the eye.
"Teddy!" Victoire roared at him, angrily pulling herself out of the bath and glaring down at him, "You HAVE been meeting somebody else in here!" she was furious. She thought what she and Teddy had was special, "I KNOW you have, admit it!" she bluffed. Teddy looked sheepish,
"It was only one time.."
"ONE TIME?" Victoire screamed. Nearly-Headless-Nick had evidentally been floating nearby, and stuck his head through the wall to see what was going on. On seeing such an angry looking girl, he quickly disappeared again, "ONE TIME? WHO WAS SHE? IT WAS THAT MEGAN FREEMAN WASN'T IT?" she screamed, her cheeks bright red, "WASN'T IT?"
Teddy nodded meekly, too ashamed to meet her eye.
"YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH THE HOGWARTS BIKE?"
"She said she wanted to discuss being Head Girl with me, because she thought I would be made Head Boy in my seventh year.." Teddy said, in a feeble attempt to justify what himself.
"AND YOU BELIEVED THAT, FROM THE GIRL WITH MORE NOTCHES ON HER BEDPOST THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN SCHOOL, INCLUDING THE TEACHERS?"
"Well she was always really nice to me, I thought we were just friends..." Teddy was close to tears now. Victoire was bright red all over, her face screwed up as she screamed.
"OF COURSE SHE WAS NICE TO YOU, YOU DIMWITTED MORON! SHE WANTED TO SLEEP WITH YOU! AND YOU LET HER!"
"Well you wouldn't," Teddy replied tautly. A common (often heated) discussion between Teddy and Victoire was the rate at which their physical relationship moved. Teddy was happy to move a lot faster than Victoire was, as she wanted to save herself for marriage.
"YES, BECAUSE I WANT TO BE PURE FOR THE MAN THAT I MARRY, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO BE YOU!" she screamed, her face puce in colour.
"I still can be?" Teddy suggested, but he knew he was fighting a losing battle.
"But you won't be pure.." Victoire said in a small, sad voice. She collapsed at the side of the bath and broke down into extremely noisy tears. Teddy got out of the bath to hold her, but she swatted him away angrily, telling him to go away in much less polite words.
"I'm so sorry, Vic." he told her.
"Victoire! I am not your friend, you may not call me Vic." she glared at him, tears still pouring from her eyes.
"Yes you are, we'll always be friends, you said so yourself,"
"Well you said you loved me, and wanted nobody else, yet you obviously didn't mean that. GO AWAY!" she screamed, and she was so terrifying that Teddy obeyed. He looked awkwardly over at her as he pulled on his robes. He had messed this up so badly.
He went back to the Gryffindor Common Room, leaving Victoire sobbing by herself. She was still crying fifteen minutes later when she heard a voice call out the password in the corridor beyond.
"Occupied!" she shrieked at the door, but it opened anyway, "Are you deaf?" she cried, "I said it was-"
"Occupied," Dominique replied softly, shutting and locking the door behind her, and crossing the room to sit on the floor next to her scantily clad sister, "I heard, but I thought you might like some company. Teddy told me to come."
"Oh, and did he tell you why?" Victoire asked, but her expression softened for her sister. The two had never been especially close, but right now she needed some sisterly love. Dominique wrapped her arms around her older sister, and let her bawl into her shoulder, berating her for not telling everyone that she and Teddy were an item.
They spent the next two hours sat on the cold floor of the bathroom badmouthing Teddy and Megan Freeman, and plotting to send Megan some perfume, supposedly from Teddy, that would give her a nasty green rash.
"What a bad start to the year," Dominique summarised as she gathered up Victoire's robes and helped her into her dressing gown.
"Are you kidding me?" Victoire asked, her eyes red, but a smile on her face, "I'm gonna get myself a new boyfriend! That new Head Boy is rather tasty, even if he is a Hufflepuff!"
