"When did we get so old?" Victoire leaned back against Scorpius's bed and looked back at him. "I mean... it's your fifteenth birthday today. Mine is next month. I don't even understand how we aged so fast. I feel like we should still be in diapers." She sighed dramatically and then leaned against Scorpius. "Am I getting wrinkles yet?"

Cepheus was bored. Scorpius was spending all his time with Victoire and he was left to his own devices. He ran a hand through his curly hair, glancing between Teddy and Xavier. "M'bored." He informed them both, then flopped back against the floor beneath him. "For fuck sake. We need to find something to do. What do you think, Teds?"

Albus glanced at Marigold, who was braiding Charlotte's hair. He didn't even know why he was over. Probably because Marigold and Charlotte had both invited him over. "You should put flowers in her hair." Albus suggested, looking Charlotte over. "You have really pretty skin. I wish mine was that smooth."

"No," Scorpius said, automatically. He may have been a boy, but he wasn't stupid. He didn't even have to look at Victoire's skin to know that no what the right answer to that question. He gave her a small smile. "You still look like a young girl of thirteen. I don't mind being older. It means adults let us do more."

"We could go see Victoire," Teddy said hopefully. He didn't care if they were cousins. He was in love. Boys in love deserved to be with the person they loved. "That would be nice, wouldn't it? Say hello to her and your brother? It's your birthdays."

"You don't take care of yours the way I do," Charlotte said, feeling very relaxed. Marigold was playing with her hair and Albus was complimenting her skin. It was a good day. "I wouldn't mind flowers. You're also not part-Veela. Do you moisturize? You've got to moisturize."

"You mean your adults let you do more. My adults just confine me more." Victoire pointed out with a grin and shook her head. "I swear. My father would put chastity spells on me if my mother would let him."

Cepheus frowned at that and shook his head. "I don't want to go see Victoire. He's with Scorpius right now. And Scorpius and I aren't talking right now." He looked at Xavier. "Do you have any ideas?"

"I'm a man. Men don't moisturize." Albus informed her, shaking his head. "You're soft because you're a girl. Right, Marigold?"

"I don't know." Marigold said a bit dreamily as she began to braid another piece of Charlotte's hair. "I'm not that soft."

Scorpius laughed. "Well, I'm a boy. They don't really worry about my chastity. Maybe Cepheus's. My mother is the one most likely to worry about that kind of thing with any of us, except maybe Aurora. Dad and Charlie would probably kill anyone who touched her. The chastity thing seems to come naturally to me anyway."

Xavier looked at his brother and shrugged. "None, unless you can convince mum to let us have some cake early or something," he said. "Why aren't you and Scorpius talking this time?"

"I'm soft because I moisturize," Charlotte said again. She turned her head just slightly to look at Albus. "You're not that much of a man. I bet James moisturizes. He seems like the type. He certainly spends enough time making it look like he doesn't spend any time on his hair."

"You don't have to be chaste, Scorpius. You know that you don't." Victoire smiled at Scorpius and leaned against him. She pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "Gay or not, I'd always be your first if you wanted."

Cepheus contemplated cake eating and then sighed. "Mum is probably eating all the cake herself." He glanced at Teddy. "Why are you so obsessed with Victoire? She's your cousin."

"James hardly counts as a man. I think he's more of a woman than my Mum is." Albus frowned at Charlotte. He didn't want to talk about his brother. "I tried to make sure that he wouldn't show up today with Roxanne and ruin everything."

"I like James." Marigold smiled at Albus and shook her head. "You shouldn't be so mean to your brother. I don't have a brother. You're lucky to have one."

"I think you deserve better than someone gay, don't you?" Scorpius asked, smiling at her. "Besides, Bill would kill me if he ever found out about it." Not to mention Teddy, but if Scorpius mentioned Teddy would be upset about it Victoire might push harder for sex.

"Shut up," Teddy said, kicking Cepheus gently. "Why are you so obsessed with your face? It's none of your business and there's nothing wrong with liking Victoire. She's a very pretty girl."

"You're weird, Teddy," Xavier said, snorting. "You don't need to make a fuss. Everyone knows you fancy her."

"You don't have a brother. You don't have any siblings, so you don't understand what it's like," Charlotte pointed out, glancing back at Marigold. "It's awful. Louis and Victoire go out of their way to annoy me."

"It was only a suggestion. It's not like my father would come barreling into the room to kill you." Victoire pointed out and then shrugged, pulling away from him a bit.

"With my face? I'm not obsessed with my face." Cepheus frowned at that and looked back at Teddy. "Even if it is sexy as fuck. Don't talk about my face."

"I think maybe you don't have the patience." Marigold pointed out and shook her head. "I would have patience. I've been trying to convince my father to give my mother another child."

"I'm not entirely sure that's true," Scorpius said. "Your father is very protective of you." He shifted closer to Victoire when he moved away and reached out to take her hand in his. "Don't move. It's my birthday. Did you get me anything?"

"I'll talk about your face all I want," Teddy said. Especially if it kept Cepheus from talking about Victoire. "Do you want to go see about that cake or something now? Maybe your mother will let you open a present early."

"Your mum's probably the one to convince," Charlotte pointed out. "She has to carry it. Maybe you can just take Louis or something. I wouldn't mind."

"Of course I did." Victoire nodded and looked back at Scorpius. "But, you don't get it until..." She glanced at her watch. "In two hours, when your party officially starts."

Cepheus sighed dramatically. "I think I want to go see about Victoire now." He told Teddy defiantly. "Maybe she'll let me snog her or something. At least she's not my cousin."

"Why are you talking about me?" Louis asked as he laid down on the couch where they were. He gave her a glance. "Are you being mean about me again?"

"Mean," Scorpius said, smiling at her. "What are we going to do for two hours? I'm not supposed to go downstairs until the party is all set up and my bedroom just isn't that interesting. Although your company is lovely."

Teddy frowned at Cepheus. "She'd much rather snog Scorpius than you," he said firmly. Not that he was thrilled with the idea of her snogging Scorpius, but still. It was the truth. "We could go see her." He'd take when he could get.

Xavier rolled his eyes at both of them as he sat up. "I'm going to make you both go see Victoire and Scorpius now," he informed them. "Otherwise you'll sit here bickering. At least if we put you and Scorpius in the same room we might find out why you're mad at him this time."

Charlotte thought about lying for a moment. "Yes," she said. "Only in the usual way." She looked her brother over. "Are you coming to the party tonight?"
