"trust me, when you're old enough you'll see," "i'm old enough to understand that their doing nothing. no adult is" she said with a frown. even if it wasn't true that's how it felt. it felt like the adults were leaving the kids to fend for themselves. which of course probably wasn't true because she knew, at least her parents anyway loved their kids. would do what was needed to protect them. but it was still frustrating to watch nothing getting done. nothing on the surface either. "hey, hey," dom huffed a little and folded her arms, recognising their mother in vic's voice as she tried to make dom calm her own voice down.
"people say stupid things when their in love," dom frowned and shook her head, her hair tumbling over her shoulders and into her eyes when she did. "that's no excuse. in love or not he should still be able to think with his brain. anyone should" she said with a roll of her eye as she brushed her hair back out of them. "oh... have you talked to teddy since he's been back?" dom raised a brow as her sister changed the subject. "nice change on the subject there" she said as she leaned back in the chair and folded her arms over her chest. she had run into teddy. it had been great but she wondered if she should tell her sister about it. he hadn't said anything about running into vic. "yeah i've seen him ..." she said, reaching to run the menu through her fingers a little. "you work at the ministry. is uncle harry doing anything at least?" she asked, trying to get the subject off teddy encase she spilled on something she shouldn't.

It hurt Victoire a little too think that her own family didn't think she was doing anything. As an adult, she was. In fact, she was doing more than she was allowed to let on. Things were in the works that even uncle Harry didn't know about yet... Which reminded her, she needed to speak with him. "It may seem like they aren't doing much, but that's because the ministry is full of a false sense of security. But things are in the works, I promise you," she said, hoping that was enough to soothe the fiery girl.
Vic recognized Doms huff an arm folding. This was just another tantrum, but with good reason. Victoire felt like she floated in between the kids and adults. She was a good middle man. "You don't know anything about the way love affects decision making. You forget everything for a while," and that was why she ended it. She had to focus...
Vic didn't mind being called out on her change of subject. Dom answered the question, but then moved on to yet another topic. Vic narrowed her eyes for a moment, but allowed the subject change to happen. "He is," she said, leaning back a little, "and so am I."

"i know as much about it as the next person. i love ethan and james thinks it's okay to use him in a way that might hurt him. and i can be mad at him for that. just the same way i'd be furious at ethan for suggesting we do something to hurt james. i know what it's like to love someone vic .. and it makes it harder when people don't care about him getting hurt" she said, using the back of her finger to brush the few angry tears that had formed there. though at least she hoped they were angry tears. wait. what had she just said? oh merlin. no. she slipped further into her seat and almost felt het cheeks blush. she hoped she'd stopped that. no one knew. not even dom herself really. her true feelings about ethan. "forget i said that .. please" she said as she ducked her head a little, letting her hair fall over her shoulders to hide her face a little. she wondered if bringing up teddy again would throw her sister off the scent of what she had said. "teddy was in greece ..."

Victoire wasn't surprised with the fiery reactions coming from her sister. They were Weasleys, after all. Still, her interest was when more peaked when Dom Said that she loved Ethan. But she also said she loved James, so it was unclear what kind of love she was referring to on the Ethan front. Though Dom quickly asked Vic to forget about it. Vic ignored that request, raising an eyebrow, "Dom... Are you trying to tell me you're in love with Ethan Johnson?" she may have sounded a little skeptical, but she tried not to. Being in love at age sixteen was an absurd notion.
Though, that didn't stop Victoire from doing it...
Teddy being in a Greece wasn't news, but it was weird to hear it from Dom. The two of them used to be so close though, Teddy and Dom, so she should have expected this. "Well, I'm glad you two have had a chance to catch up," she said, her voice stagnant.

she shook her head. wondering how she was going to get herself out of this one. she'd been so caught up in the moment that she hadn't thought about what she was saying. all her feeling had just tumbled out of her mouth to justify her argument and then it had slipped out. "of course i love ethan. he's my best friend." and she did love him. she'd worked it out after spending the night with him in the hospital wing. she hadn't been back to see him much since then. it felt a little weird. he was dating cordie and she adored cordie. they were cute together and she didn't want to accidentally say or do something to ruin the friendship we had with either of them.
"it wasn't a planned meeting. we ran into each other" she said with a sigh. her sisters voice made it clear that she probably wasn't all that interested in the subject. though he wondered if vic was just putting on that, or if she did want to know. "you brought him up" she said as she picked at her pizza a little. she leaned back into the chair and sighed. "sorry. how're things with you? other than work. have you met someone? anyone new?" she asked.

Vic was both impressed, and annoyed, that Dom avoided actually answering the question. She would let it slide for now though, because she understood that it was probably a touchy subject at the moment. She simply nodded and gave a little smile, showing her understanding in loving your best friend. Vic didn't have many of those to think of... not any that she would really use the word love for. Friends weren't really Vic'd specialty. Friendships took time, and Vic didn't have that on her side, at least not in that regard. Vic blinked as Dom challenged her for bringing Teddy up and then changing the subject. She shook her head, snapping out of her mild daze to answer Dom's questions, "things are... fine. I was seeing someone," she technically never was actually seeing Seb... though, they had gone out last night and would probably see one another tonight as well... but it was an incredibly delicate situation. She'd almost rather talk about the awkwardness with Teddy than Seb, so she changed the subject again. "I'm not upset with you for seeing Teddy, Dom. Nor am I disinterested in your conversation. I just..," so here it came. The emotions that she had not expressed to a single person since Teddys return. She felt her throat closing up and she lost her perfect posture to lean forward onto the table with her elbows, running both hands through her hair before looking up at Dom. "Did he... I mean, is he okay? Is he happy?"@dom ((monkey in the middle bahah sorry kid)) @dom

"things are... fine. I was seeing someone," dome blinked and moved her eyes to her ssters face. that was wonderful! of course she would always think that vic and teddy were perfect for each other and they were both behaving like total dumbies but her sister seeing someone new was exciting. a million questions jumped into her mind. "you are? that's wonderful vic! who is he? do you work with him? do i know him?" she asked quickly, a true smile on her face as she leaned forward hoping her sister would answer her questions. if not she'd try and work it out on her own. when it came to her sister .. no man could escape dom's curiosity and determination that her sister would find someone perfect.
"I'm not upset with you for seeing Teddy, Dom. Nor am I disinterested in your conversation. I just.., Did he... I mean, is he okay? Is he happy?" dom almost rolled her eyes but she stopped herself. right. her sister was over teddy. she'd bet anything that that wasn't true. they had both enquired about the other. instead of being adults and seeking each other out they were trying to find out through other sources. silly really. "he's alive if that's what you mean. he says he spent most of his time writing. who goes to greece and does nothing but write? i think he's totally dumb for doing that .. but he's teddy. he asked me about you" she said casually, reaching to take a sip of her drink and glancing down to study the menu again, even though they had ordered.

Of course the questions about Seb came really fast, and Victoire wasn't even a little bit surprised. "He's erh- No you don't know him," she said, slowly, hoping that she could find a way around going into detail. "It's nothing, really, just someone... well he does work at the ministry but it isn't going to be a big deal. I'm not planning on finding any sort of serious relationship anyway," her words sped up as she went on, and it was clear that it was something she wished she hadn't brought up at all.
Victoire was taking a sip of her own drink as Dom mentioned that Teddy asked about her. She started to choke on the drink, but covered it by pretending that she just had a little cough. She was so casual about it to, Dom was, bringing up that he had asked about her. Dom was young, and she was even younger while Teddy and Victoire were dating. She probably had no idea what Vic and Teddy really felt about each other, what they meant for each other. But, she was also a smart kid and wouldn't be surprised if Vic decided to go into detail.
Which she didn't, of course.
"Great, that's... what did you tell him?" she asked.
