Victoire sat in her office running over different memories in her mind. She had been working on important paperwork but her mind started to wander. She decided the best way to focus was to sift through these memories and give each other them a short moment of attention so they could leave her mind and let her finish her work. The memory that stuck out the most to her was that of her Hogwarts graduation. Her whole family had come, which, as it had forever, included Teddy. She was in the top percent of her class that year so she was able to sit in a different section with her family. Granted, her family was huge if you counted all the cousins, but she only had seats for a few.
She sat with her mother, father, Dom, Louis and Teddy. She wasn't originally going to invite Teddy to sit with her, but when it came down to sending him a graduation announcement, she found herself including the ticket that was for the spot right beside her. On her right hand side, the most important place to sit. She wasn't sure why she did it, but she was happy when he accepted and showed up anyway, sitting beside her during the ceremony. She felt bad, laughing with him and almost acting as if nothing had changed.
But it would've felt wrong not to have him there. He was the one who comforted her and told her she would do just fine her first year. She had received less than perfect marks and ran out into the grounds crying. He had seen her, followed her out there and discovered her on a bench veiled by trees. She was crying harder than she ever had in her life. Teddy, a second year at the time, came and sat with her and wrapped his arms around her. "You'll be brilliant," he said, "you always are." He spoke softly as he continued to explain how her grades would go up and she would graduate at the top of her class. He was sure of it.
Would she have succeeded without that encouragement? Probably. But she had to acknowledge his importance in her education and motivation. She couldn't just leave him out of her graduation.
