notes: I signed up for this challenge a ridiculously long time ago, but haven't got around to writing anything for it until now. It's the OTP Boot Camp, run by Gamma Orionis. My chosen OTP for this is Lily/Teddy, and there will be fifty chapters in this drabble collection.
disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.


( one – acrid )


Lily is a whirlwind princess with a bittersweet taste in her mouth. You know this because there's something unusual about her – something sinful, something that should drive you away but only ever brings you closer. Because… well, Teddy, you're a sinful little boy, aren't you?

This acrid taste is supposed to warn you; stay away from Princess Lily Potter.

She's ten years younger than you, and your godfather's daughter, but she's also beautiful and you've been a good boy for so long that it just got a little bit boring.

Your life has been utterly planned out from the start: be friends with the Weasleys and Potters, fall for Victoire, get a Ministry job, marry Victoire and start a family and send them to Hogwarts and it's endless, endlessly tedious. Giving up Victoire is probably going to be the worst decision you ever make.

But it's Lily, and she might be acrid, but she's still a princess.
