I lay in bed, looking out the window. I haven’t been doing much since I’ve last seen Charisma. It is just sprinkling outside, I thought to myself. I sat up from the bed, muscles aching from just laying there for so long. I grabbed my coat and went out the door, almost in a hurry to finally get…
I heard my name. Immediately I turned around. Almost gleefully I shouted, “Victoire!” I ran through the leaves towards you, wrapping my arms around you. I grinned, “You’re safe!” I looked at the Iface of the cousin I admired most, the beautiful smile, distinct features and long blonde hair that I had once wished to trade for my fire-red colour.Â
I pick you up and spin you around, squealing. “Just how I remember you,” shaking my head, “beautiful girl.” Lily has always been a pretty girl, full of excitement. And you didn’t even have to meet her to know. Look at a picture. Her smile was enough to cheer me up. “How are you?!”
I giggle quietly as I’m placed back on the ground, “I’m good, Vic! How are you?” I stood in awe. I was glad you were safe.
 I actually had to think that over. (Is that bad)? How was I doing? “Fine,” I shrugged, “not too good, to be honest. But it’s gotten better.” I could see you looked worried, so I added, “It’s so much better now that you’re here, and safe. Everyone actually. Teddy isn’t here but…” I paused. This was a twelve year old I was talking to. “I’m sure he’s perfectly fine.” I smiled reassuringly for the finishing touch.
And after saying that, I realized, it didn’t hurt as much as it did before to talk about Teddy being gone.
I thought about Teddy for a moment, and giggled to myself. I remembered a few summers back, when my mum had played for the Harpies, and Teddy and you had been given the unforgettable task of babysitting me, along with Albus and James. I closed my eyes as I remembered when I made Teddy play hide-and-seek with me until it was dark out. I had spent half the afternoon looking for him.
I opened my eyes and looked at you, my grin still placed on my face,
“maybe he’s hiding!”
 I smiled, wishing I was back at that age. Where nothing is really.. serious, you know? Nothing can really go wrong if you don’t want it to.
“He’s probably playing hide-and-seek huh?” I agree, bending over so I can be face-to-face with you. I grin and whisper, “How about when I have free time, you and I can play hide-and-seek, huh? And when teddy comes along, he can join us.” I teared up at the memory. “I even remember when we all used to play hide-and-seek. We spent forever trying to find him. He was the best at that game.”
