How the girls fell for the boys

Victoire

Daddy and Mum dropped us off at the Potter's, and told us that they were going to have a night to themselves.

When they told Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny this, they both started laughing and Daddy blushes. They hug and shake hands. Then, Aunt Ginny and Uncle Harry give us our sleeping arrangements. 

I got Albus's room, which is to the right of Teddy's, and Albus and James were sharing, Louis and Teddy were sharing, and Lily and Domi were sharing. 

We had a blast, eating and watching T.V., Uncle Harry let us stay up late to listen to a story. But soon, it was time to go to bed. I kissed Teddy good night, and got into bed. But I couldn't sleep. No matter how hard I tried. It was different. The shadows, the bed, the walls, everything.

I soon drifted into an uneasy sleep.

I woke up and rolled over to check the clock. It was three am! I had fallen asleep for eight hours. That's good! I rolled back over. My nightdress was sticking awfully close to my bum. That's odd. The bed was wet. I quickly scanned the calendar on the wall. It was April eighth. So it isn't my period, because I still have a week. So, that must mean, I... wet the bed. I started sobbing. I was sixteen, almost seventeen! Oh, how embarrassing!

There was a creak of floor boards. Oh my Merlin, someone knows! I'll have to pretend I'm asleep. 

I heard a soft knock and I said in a squeaky voice, "Enter." I don't know what made me say it. 

Teddy crept in. Phew. He came up to me and sat on my bed.

"What's wrong, Vic? I could hear you from the other room." he asked gently.

I start sobbing. He holds his arms out, but for once in my life, I don't dive into them. Instead, I shake my head. Teddy lifts me up and I wriggle out. Or, I try to. But I can't. He's too strong. He feels under my bum and sets me down on a bean bag.and puts a hand on the bed. 

"It's alright, Vic, it happens to the best of us. But you have to tell Harry or Ginny. Or else you'll get teased." he tells me, looking sympathetic. 

I frantically shake my head. That's not what I want to do! Then again, he's right. I'd most likely get teased. 

"Fine. Who are you going to bring me to?" I whisper, hoping not Harry.

"Harry. Ginny's very tired. She cooked for eight today, and had to deal with Lily." he says, sending a message via patronus. 

A minute later, there is a soft knock on the door. I say timidly, "Come in." 

Harry enters with his wand. He waves it twice, and I feel dry again. The bed looks dry, too. 

"Uncle Harry, I'm sorry, I don't want to bother you, I didn't mean to, I was scared, it's a different house and I was in a different bed-" I break off, tears pouring down my face. Teddy pulls me into his lap and strokes my hair, occasionally planting a kiss in it.

Harry sits on the bed and smiles. "Victoire, I'm not mad. It's alright. It's really not a problem." 

I sniff, "I want to go home." 

He nods. "Well, you can't go home, you're parents are having a night to themselves, but we can floo one of them and you can to talk, if you like." 

I nod. 

I follow Uncle Harry into the living room and he calls my parents. As soon as Daddy straightens up, I hide behind Uncle Harry. I had been hoping it would be Mum answering. Daddy's going to yell at me, I know it.

"Harry? What's wrong? And why is Victoire hiding behind you?" he asks. Uncle Harry looks at me, his eyes asking a silent question. I nod and come out from behind him.

Daddy's eyes look at me curiously. "I wet the bed." I manage to get out before dissolving into tears. To my surprise, Daddy pulls me into a hug. 

"Y-you're not mad?" I ask, looking up.

He shakes his head. "How did it happen though?" I explain what I told Harry.

Daddy nods. He rubs my back. "Sorry, sweetheart, but you can't come home."

I nod. "Can I stay with Teddy?" I ask, testing my luck. 

Daddy tenses and runs a hand through his hair. "If you promise no funny business. I guess you can sleep in the same bed, too. But only tonight." he adds sternly.

I nod. I thank Daddy and Harry and run into Teddy's room and dive under the covers. I snuggle up to his side and breath in the familiar scent. Forest pines, citrus, and river water. Just so... Teddy. 

He rolls over to face me. I stroke his hair and he opens an eye. I jump back in surprise. He chuckles.

"So, you staying in my bed tonight?" he asks.

I nod. "Well then, are you going to roll off the bed or stay?" he asks, laughing. I chuckle and snuggle into his side. He wraps his arms around me. I bury my head into his chest and fall asleep.

I wake up in the morning to see that I'm back in the room I was originally in. Was it all a dream?

Teddy enters the room and says, "Sorry, I had to move you so you wouldn't be teased. You can go back to bed. Your siblings won't bother you." 

"Can you join me?" I ask him hopefully.

He chuckles. "Only if I get a kiss as well." I smile.

I get up and kiss him. I lead him to the bed and fall back asleep in his arms.

We were both asleep, so we never noticed that Uncle Harry had opened the door, smiling as he watched us, and closed it, knowing we needed our sleep.

That was the day that I knew Teddy was right for me.
