Victoire was smiling.
She wasn’t a year old yet, and this is what she seemed to do most of the time- whether it was because she’d enjoyed her breakfast, found the face Bill was pulling funny, or because she just shit herself, it was never immediately clear.
But she was always smiling.
Not smiling, Bill corrected himself. The dimples in her cheeks, the light in her eyes, the giggle escaping her throat…
Victoire was beaming up at him, and all Bill could think was how lucky he was.
Chapter 2: LAP

Victory was sweet, Fred thought. But firewhiskey? That was tasty.
Gryffindor were celebrating their first Quidditch title in his time at Hogwarts, and he and George had snuck the bottle of Ogden’s for the team to celebrate with.
Harry was nowhere to be seen- he was with Ron, probably- and Oliver was far too sensible, but the rest of them enjoyed it.
Maybe enjoyed it too much.
“Another swig?” Angelina asked, and hiccoughed as she sat on his lap.
“Alright,” he replied, and grinned.
Chapter 3: FLING
Chapter Text
He wasn’t sure when it started.
Gradually, Percy supposed. Audrey walked back with him to his flat, claiming she’d been too drunk to Apparate, and he’d offered up his spare room. (It hadn’t been used.)
But then it had started happening frequently, after Friday night drinks, these stops over at his.
And, slowly but surely, she’d been leaving things- a coat, a shirt, a few spare pairs of underwear.
Then one night she came over and they hadn’t been out for drinks at all and Percy, quite excitedly, realised something.
This was not just a random fling.
It was more.
