"Teddyyyyy!"
"What?"
"Stop pulling my hair."
She's pretty, though.
Yet he denies,
"I didn't do anything to your hair."
Her blue eyes blaze, no longer an ocean,
But instead a furious frenzy of flames
She clenches her tiny, milky fists, and says shortly,
"Yes you did, I felt it. Fess up,
Or I'll tell my daddy.
You know how my daddy's like,
He doesn't like boys!"
"You wouldn't!"
"Yes, I would."
She gives him a look.
"You know I would."
"Go on then."
He shoots the look right back.
"Okay."
"Right."
"Good."
Hesitation,
As the bawl of her fist opens,
Careful long fingers fiddling, twiddling in the air
"If you do it again, I'll tell him
I'll tell him, Teddy, and then you'll die –"
"He won't kill me, Vic," says he with a blast of arrogant courage,
Raising his mighty invisible sword and slashing wildly in thin air,
"One two, one two,
Through and through!
He'll be sorry he'll ever have touched me!"
"I hope you won't kill Daddy, Ted," she warns,
"It's not very nice."
"He should've thought about that before he's about to kill me!"
"Then don't
Pull
My
Hair."
. . .
Daer Ted

Smile.

Don't forget me
Don't forget me,

Luv, ur best friend,
Victoire Gabrielle Weasley

Hey Vic,
Hardly read a word of that,
Your handwriting is atrocious.
Here at Hogwarts it's great, you'd love it
Though Peeves pulls on everyone's hair so that's sort of a bonus.
Well, for me, at least.
HAAAAA!
Nah, Vic, I miss you too
And you know I could never forget you.
Grandma says I'll see see see you soon for Christmas,
So it won't be long before you'll see your Teddy.
- Ted
. . .
"Hufflepuff, huh?
Isn't that for dumbos?"
"NO!"
"Uncle Ron says that, though
An' he's always right."
"Cannons didn't win last night, did they?"
"... nooo..."
"So he's lying. He's always wrong."
"... that's not very nice."
. . .
"Gryffindor keeper, huh?"
"Shut up, Lupin,
Your Quidditch team sucks balls anyway."
"What am I supposed to say to that?"
"Nothing. I won the debate."
"Fourth years these days,
When I was in fifth year we didn't utter a single swear word..."
"Well, Lupin, you're old.
Sixth year prefects?
Millennial."
"Damn right."
"Language, Ted."
"Sorry.
... oi!"
"Haha, now I know why you're a HufflePufflePoof."
"Yeah,
Well,
At least I'm not a Gryffinwhore."
. . .
"What are you doingwith him?"
"What d'you mean, 'what am I doing with him'?"
"You...
... and him..."
He wildly gestures towards the Gryffindor entrance,
Surprising the Fat Lady as she trills out a gasp
"It's called – "
kiss kiss
The image echoes in his mind, haunting
" – kissing, Ted."
"I know – butt butt butyou shouldn't –"
"Don't you tell me what I should and should not do,
You're not even listening to me!
Teddy Lupin, stop staring at my arse, and look into my eyes
And tell me
And tell me why you're doing this to me."
. . .
It's because he loves her.
He loves her sleek, silver strands she pulls into a messy ponytail
He loves her eyes;
Oceans upon oceans of furious swirls of waves,
Or peaceful endless blue he drowns himself in by no fault but his own stupidity
Her curves, nothing big but so gorgeous and
And her laugh and
And her smile and
And oh, he just loves everything she is
Everything she was
And everything she will be
. . .
"Because..."
I love you.
I love you so much it hurts.
I can't hold your hand and call myself yours like I've always done anymore
And it's my last chance now
I want you to look at me like you look at him
And kiss me like you kiss him
"Ted –"
I know I'm a coward,
I know I'm an idiot,
But just give me one chance
And I'll prove you I love love love you.
She's so pretty, though.
"There's a reason why I'm not in Gryffindor,
Victoire Gabrielle Weasley.
And it's you."
Poem! ... sort of? Lately I've been secretly obsessed with poetry, so... here y'are. :)
Yeah, I know, in my other fics Ted's a Gryffinwhore, hardiharhar. But suddenly my headcanon has changed... ugh. My mind can be so frustratingly fickle sometimes. _
