Embers (Louis and Dominque)

[Deleted]

It was Summer time at Shell Cottage and Victoire and her siblings had set up a fire out under the stars and Victoire brought out snacks and roasting sticks to get started. "I wish you guys weren't going back to school next week," Vic pouted, settling into her chair and sighing. She also wished that she had worked less this summer and hung out with these two way more. She loved her job, of course, it was her life. But since getting back together with Teddy... well, her free time was pretty taken up.

Louis bounded down the sand dunes towards where his eldest sister Victoire had set up the bonfire. He had more marshmallows and mini hot dogs in hand because, well, it was Louis and he loved roasting things over the fire. Dumping the food on the blanket along with what Vic had brought out, Louis settled down next to his sister as she lamented over them going back to school next week. “Well then Vic you’ll just have to visit us!” he exclaimed, picking up a hot dog and spearing it with a roasting stick. He set it over the fire and side glanced to his sisters. “You also should bring Teddy,” he said quickly, the grin quickly spreading on his face. “And you Dom, is there anyone I should be ah...watching out for in the corridors?” he asked his middle sister jokingly. Dominique had seemed to get happier and happier as the summer progressed; he had a feeling of what, or who that had to do with.

"I wish you guys weren't going back to school next week," dom smiled sadly and had her arms wrapped around her knee's, her chin resting on her legs and she sighed sadly. she wished she wasn't leaving too. summer was over, that meant no more beach, no more family and no more finn. "me either" she said as lou was suddenly upon them and she smiled as he dropped the food onto the blanket they were sitting on and she reached out to nudge his leg. “You also should bring Teddy,” dom lifted her head from her knees and nodded. she liked that idea, she hadn't seen teddy in a while and she missed his face. she missed a lot of faces. growing up was one of the worst things because people slowly drifted, it was scary. "i second that. teddy should come too" she said as she reached to take a few marshmallows out of the bag. “And you Dom, is there anyone I should be ah...watching out for in the corridors?” she smirked a little and looked at her little brother, her head tilting so her hair fell forward over her shoulder. "well .. he won't be in the corridors" she said with a small smirk as she reached to ruffle his hair. "you just keep focused on that little hufflepuff of yours"

Vic nodded at Louis words, "maybe I will!" she said with a grin. She would love to visit the school and with the tournament and all, which she couldn't tell them about, she had even more reason to go there. At the mention of Teddy, Vic tried to hide a growing smile. But then Lou turned the attention to Dom and Vic turned toward her, eyebrow raised. At her mention of some Hufflepuff Vic turned back to Louis, then back to Dom, then smirked and leaned back. "It looks like the three of us are about to have a stereotypical girl talk," she said. "You first, Lou. Who's the girl?"

Louis rolled his eyes at the term ‘girl talk’. He was the youngest of three siblings, and the only boy; all there WAS was girl talk most of the time. He only had his dad as the other male figure in the house, and the fact of the matter was they simply were not as close as he and his mother. He flashed a slightly venomous look at Dom as she mentioned Georgie. “Her name is Georgiana Linley, and she is a fifth year Hufflepuff,” he told Vic hesitantly. “And yes, she is my girlfriend,” he admitted, feeling the heat rise in his cheeks. He stuck a marshmallow on his toasting fork and shoved it in the fire. “Why don’t you ask Dom about HER gentleman caller, the one with all the food?” he retorted, sticking his tongue out at his sister. If she was going to play that game...he’d dish it right back up to her.

“Her name is Georgiana Linley, and she is a fifth year Hufflepuff, And yes, she is my girlfriend,” dom smiled as she saw the flush of lou's cheeks in the flame light. she laughed and leaned forward, resting her hand on his shoulder she leaned closer and pinched one of his cheeks. "awe out baby brother is blushing vic!" she said as she wrapped an arm around him in a one sided hug. "so cute" she said as she settled back into her own spot. "though like i said .. she makes a nice change from zac. though you guys only broke one bone this summer .. that's an improvement!" she said with a smile. "but she's so lovely. you should meet her vic .. oh! you and teddy could meet lou and georgie in hogsmeade .. welcome her to the weasley clan" she said, teasing but also a little serious. “Why don’t you ask Dom about HER gentleman caller, the one with all the food?” dom simply smiled and reached to grab another marshmallow from the bag and popped it into her mouth. she tried to talk around the marshmallow but all she could get out was muffled sounds, which is what she wanted. she simply shrugged and smiled again, stretching her hands toward the fire as she ate the sugary treat.

Vics jaw actually dropped as Louis said that this girl was actually his girlfriend. "You little sweetheart," she chuckled, placing a hand over her heart as she saw the reddening in his cheeks. Vic turned to Dom and laughed, nodding, as Dom called out the blush. At her mention of Zac, Vic laughed, "so, this girl doesn't do the same crazy stunts as Zac does? That's a relief," she mused. She turned to Louis, "I'd love to meet her sometime, Lou. If she doesn't mind," she added.

Then Louis turned the attention back to Dom and Vic grinned, slowly turning her attention back to her sister, "with all the food? What does that mean? Who is this guy?" she brought her roasting mallow back to create her first smore as Dom tried to answer with the mallow in her own mouth. Viv laughed, "nooo you're not getting out of this that easy!" She grabbed her wand and summoned the bag of mallows away from Dom, into her own lap. "Now, spill."

Louis blushed even deeper as Vic called him a little sweetheart. “No, she understands my adrenaline rush and she’ll join in to an extent,” Louis told her, remembering balancing on top of a bench with her in Diagon Alley this summer. “But no she’s not like Zac is with his crazy antics. I highly doubt breaking bones this summer will damper his spirit for adventure either,” he added, laughing a little. Louis had of course been terrified when Zac had to be taken to St. Mungos by his father, but now they could laugh over it as he had recovered fully from it. Secretly, they were already planning their next crazy adventure when they got back to Hogwarts, but he wasn’t about to let Victoire know anything about that.

Louis turned back to Dominique, grinning devilishly and putting his chin in his hands. “Yeah Dom, spill!” he wheedled. He’d met Finn for about thirty seconds before he had left, and knew him a bit from school. He was a nice guy, hilarious too. He was studying to be an Auror, which Louis had no interest in but found cool all the same.

"with all the food? What does that mean? Who is this guy?" dom smiled, her mouth still full of marshmallow and she shrugged her shoulders slightly and tried to look at innocent as she could. she took a look at louis and moved to sit how he was, her legs crossed with her elbows leaning on her knees and her chin resting on her hands. she rolled her eyes slightly. why did she have to say anything? her and finn were just .. exploring each other's company at the moment. nothing had happened and she wasn't sure that it would. he might decide he wanted someone older .. if they were headed down that direction and she wasn't sure she was ready. she had felt ready when he had been there on their picnic but when he wasn't around it felt .. like she wasn't. it was all so confusing to her. "he's no one in particular" she said with a small smile. "i'm not even sure anything is going to happen .. at least not yet" she said as she looked at zac. "you are at least actually dating someone .. that's what we should be focused on" she said as she reached forward to grab a marshmallow from the bag in vic's lap.

Vic loved that blush on Louis cheeks. It reminded her that he was still her little brother and no just some teenage heart throb. She nodded at his answer and shook her head, "I could never keep up with you too. It's amazing anyone does. Well, except Lily," she chuckled. Now that girl was completely insane. Vic did not understand her at all.

Once the attention was back on Dominque, Vic's protective nature was in full force. Louis was her baby brother, sure, but she was much more aggressive about Dom's protection for some reason. Especially when it came to boys. Especially since Ethan died. "No on in particular?" Vic repeated, leaning forward slightly. Then she spoke about how nothing had happened yet, and how at least Lou was actually in a relationship. ”Well, I know you guys are dying to hear about how things are with Teddy,” she sighed, though she was still smiling. ”It’s going well. He surprised me the other day, and I have a hard time with surprised but... since it was him I forgave him,” she chuckled.

Louis scoffed. “No one in particular, a likely story!” he called out with a smirk. He knew that Dom would be cautious and Vic would be protective of any romance in the middle Delacour-Weasleys’ life. Ethans death was still fresh in all of their minds, and Louis remembered seeing Dom for the first time after his body had been found. She had been a shell of a person; what Louis could see though was Finn blowing a spark of life back into his sister. That alone made Louis like the guy.

He leaned forward eagerly as Victoire began to talk about Teddy. Teddy had always been like a part of the family; his godfather was Louis’ uncle Harry, and of course when he first dated Vic he’d been around a lot. He was always like an older brother to Louis, and he couldn’t deny that he’d missed him a lot when he and Vic first broke up. “What was the surprise?” Louis asked eagerly. Perhaps Georgie had brought out the romantic in him but he was simply delighted that Vic and Teddy were back together.
