There's something so pure about any Hogwarts pairing (canon, that is... some very unpure one out there too;)). As soon as these very young people get together we believe it and believe that they will last forever- and they do! They love each other so much and have all been through so much together- we're talking three generation now and in this fic you've managed to squeeze in all three.
Opening paragraphs were adorable. I love this new HPverse that you conjure with every ficlet. Harry and Ginny dancing, James Sirius Potter melting something, Ron- Ginny and Fleur laughing at him, Gran Tonks being a part of the family- The Burrow! I also loved the nods to the past- Victoire mentioning the Weasleys' trip to Egypt in 1993 and how Bill still goes on about it and even Teddy's little 'ever-so-slightly mental' moment for Ron.
And then Teddy and Victoire. Teddy's POV was such a treat- he feels like Remus and I can see Tonks in there too (not just the blushing hair). You gave me a big knot in my throat when Victoire mentioned them- '“They’d be proud of you,” said Victoire. Teddy shifted. “I know that,” he said, suddenly uncomfortable. Harry had taken him aside at the party and told him so, his green eyes earnest and his hand on Teddy’s shoulder. His gran said it practically every day. He always felt awkward, and grateful. “I know you know that,” she persisted, sitting up. “I don’t just mean about your NEWTs. Teddy, they’d be proud of you. You’re great.”' Harry taking him aside was very important. Harry's a great godfather and a very understanding one. I think that it was HBP where he mentioned that it got wearying hearing that he looked like his father and had his mother's eyes but he always glowed when someone who KNEW offered him similar compliments- 'He always felt awkward, and grateful'. I think that you really summed it up there.
Teddy and Victoire! Very sexy and beautiful scene that you conjured up in the grass, with lighting provided by Miss Weasley. The banter between them is so lucid and I look forward to reading more, more, more... chapters? Chapter fics? :D
