A Stitch in Time

Chapter 31

Victoire felt that she was lying down on a hard surface, but she was afraid to open her eyes, because she had no idea where she was, and she was too scared to find out.

She just sat in that position for what she thought was 15 minutes. Finally, she felt someone start touching her everywhere. She started to freak out, and opened her eyes, and on auto-pilot she slapped that person.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU, PERV?!" She screamed.

It was a younger version of Teddy, who was holding the left side of his cheek, looking hurt and shocked. She looked around her. She spotted Al, Rose, Scorpius. Then, on the other side of the room, there was what looked oddly like Harry, Ron, Hermione, Scorpius' dad, and Professor Longbottom as kids. There was an older man, that looked quite a bit like Teddy, and two black haired men: one had greasy shoulder length hair, and a large hooked nose. He was sizing her up. The other was skinny, with gray eyes. There was James, who was holding a wand at the kids, but he had red eyes, not James' brown eyes. There was also a fat man that was on the floor near James' feet.

Victoire felt like throwing up. She hadn't fully recovered from what had happened.

She tried to stand up, but she nearly fell over. Teddy grabbed her arm.

"Teds, you like, have to change back to your real form, this is kinda freaking me out."

Teddy shook his head, but Victoire stamped her foot. "What the heck?! Where in the earth am I?! What do you mean you can't change!?"

"ENOUGH! WHO ARE YOU!?" James screamed at her.

Victoire glared at him. "Wait, so I don't even get like 5 minutes to say something to my boyfriend? You know what, James Sirius Potter, I don't like your freaking attitude, okay? So I would drop it, if you don't want to get cursed."

James' eyes flashed. "How dare you talk to me like that, you stupid-"

Victoire marched up to him, and put her hands on her hips, her green eyes flashing as well. "What's up with you, huh? The entire world doesn't want to deal with your tantrums honey. So cut the attitude, now. Especially towards me, because I'm, like, going straight to your mom, and I'm older then you, so show some freaking respect, okay?!"

"Why don't you show me some respect! I am Lord Voldemort!"

Victoire gave him a weird look, and snorted. "Yeah, and I'm Minerva McGonnagall. I don't know what you've been smoking or snorting James, but that doesn't mean you have to act like you're the queen of the universe, alright?!"

Teddy gave her a pleading look. "Please, Victoire, don't!"

Victoire harshly shoved her boyfriend out of the way. "Look, he's like my freaking brother, so I can yell at him if I want to. Especially if he looks like he's high!"

Voldemort gave her the death stare, and pulled out his wand. "I don't think you're going to listen like this, are you?"

Victoire pulled out her own as well. "Oh, so you want to do it like that, do you? Well I hope you know that I taught you like more than half of the curses you know, so I could whoop you in a duel."

Voldemort gave a hearty laugh.

Teddy got up, and grabbed Victoire's arm again. "Please Victoire! Don't!"

Victoire harshly shoved him again, pushing him to the ground. "STAY OUT OF THIS, ALRIGHT!" She hissed.

"If you had any sense, you would listen to your dear friend." Voldemort taunted.

Victoire snorted again. "Yeah, well news flash, I'm not afraid of you James, so bring it sister."

"Yeah! Bring...it...C-cause we aren't sc-cared of you at all..." whimpered Teddy pathetically, trying to be brave like his girlfriend. He remembered all the stories his grandmother told him of Voldemort, and how his parents had died...how his grandfather had died...

She just rolled her eyes at him. "Fail. But that's why I love you!" She smiled, and kissed him. He kissed back.

Harry and Co looked quite surprised.

James-Voldemort's eye twitched. "I have waited long enough! I will not wait any longer!" No one noticed him.

"She's like a beautiful 20 year old goddess, why would she be kissing a third year?!" Ron said in disbelief.

Victoire shuddered. "Ugh. Teds, do you, like, know how weird it is to be kissing you as a little kid?!"

Teddy tried to signal her to shut up.

"ENOUGH! CRUCIO!" Voldemort said, while pointing his wand at Victoire.

Victoire yelped, and quickly dodged it, narrowly missing it by a few centimeters.

"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER! HOW DARE YOU USE THE UNFORGIVABLE CURSES! I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE HIGH, DRUNK, HALLUCINATING, OR IN A VIRTUAL REALITY! YOU WILL NOT USE THE UNFORGIVABLE CURSES, DO YOU HEAR ME LOUD AND CLEAR YOUNG MAN?!"

Sirius turned and looked very pale at Victoire, and then to Voldemort. "James Sirius...What!"

"Thanks a lot. Heap lot of trouble we have here now." Teddy hissed at her.

Victoire glared at him. "Excuse you, but I have been here for maybe FIVE minutes alright?! If that amount, which I'm pretty sure it hasn't even been that long. So maybe you should be so kind and to let me know what's going on Teddy? You know since you kinda seem like you're on top of everything and know it all!"

Teddy winced. "I'm sorry Vic, its just that you don't know what's going on right now-"

"You're right Teddy! You're absolutely right! I have no idea what's going on! Care to explain?"

Voldemort was getting very angry. He pointed his wand at Victoire.

"I'm tired of you talking already. Petrificus Totalus!"

Victoire avoided it again, but not as smoothly as last time, she ran into Teddy and accidentally pushed him over.

"James! What's wrong with you!?" She cried.

"I am not JAMES! I AM LORD VOLDEMORT!"

"Expelliarmus-"

"CRUCIO"

Victoire wasn't quick enough, and she fell over. Teddy screamed as he saw his girlfriend's body writhing.

He looked at Voldemort. "What are you doing!?"

Voldemort shoved him away. "Out of my way. Now that I have a body, I am going to finish what I came here for."

Teddy snorted. "Oh, yeah? What's that, huh?"

Voldemort narrowed his red eyes and pulled out his wand.

"To kill Harry Potter."
