Teddy/Victoire

Warning I do not ship Victoire with Teddy please respect that not everybody ships the same couples and don't give me negative comments on the fact that I don't ship the same characters as some people.


Teddy Lupin was two years old when Victoire Weasley was born and he was instantly jealous. The adults who used to crowd around him now crowded around this baby. They marvelled at her bright blue eyes and perfect blonde locks of hair. Teddy didn't see the big deal, he could make himself look like that if he wanted to. So Teddy avoided the baby as much as he possibly could but this avoidance of the baby didn't go unnoticed by his Uncle Harry. He told Teddy that the baby wasn't loved more than him, she just needed more care than him. So after the talk with his Uncle Harry, Teddy began to help look after the baby. He would bathe her with Aunt Fleur and feed her with Uncle Bill. The adults started to pay more attention to him and slowly she stopped being 'the baby' and became 'Vic' (Victoire was a bit of a mouthful for little Teddy.)

By the time Victoire was five and Teddy was approaching eight the two of them were the best of friends. A whole load more babies had been born but very few of them could keep up with Teddy and Victoire, not that Victoire would allow them to anyway. The two of them would play adventures where they would slay dragons and save lives. However the arrival of James Sirius and a year later Albus Severus meant Teddy was much more interested in his little brothers than his best friend.

When Teddy turned eleven it was time for him to leave for Hogwarts and nine-year old Victoire was not happy that she would not be going with him. Teddy was sorted into Hufflepuff which seemed to make everybody proud, everybody except Victoire. She treated him differently after his sorting and he couldn't work out why. The summer before Victoire was due to attend Hogwarts Uncle Harry let Teddy invite his friend Joey over for the last two weeks of the holiday. Victoire was so cruel and unfriendly towards Joey that he asked Teddy what he had done wrong. Teddy knew Victoire was just jealous that he had another best friend but they had a real falling out that summer.

Victoire surprisingly was sorted into Ravenclaw and Teddy discovered she was actually very intelligent. As the years went by more boys began to pay attention to Victoire but she was uninterested. Teddy had noticed her growing crush on him but he assumed it was just a phase that she would move on from. Everybody seemed to think he was in denial about his feelings and that the two of them were destined to end up together. The only problem was Teddy wasn't in denial about his feelings, to him Victoire was just his childhood best friend, nothing more and nothing less. After Hogwarts Victoire became a healer and Teddy trained as a teacher and eventually accepted a teaching position as a professor for Defence against the Dark Arts when he was only twenty – one. He was the youngest professor in history which made the family extremely proud of him.

He still remembers the night well although he wishes it had never happened. It was stormy outside and the rain splattered off the glass echoing throughout the school. They were in his classroom at Hogwarts, she had come to visit him since they hadn't seen each other in a while. He asked the now twenty year old Victoire how Healer training was suiting her. She told him that training was almost finished and that she couldn't wait to be a fully – fledged Healer. She asked the now twenty – two year old Teddy if he was enjoying teaching. He told her that teaching was the best thing that ever happened to him, that he hoped he would be here for a while. She told him that she broke up with her boyfriend and he said he was sorry. Then she uttered the words he hoped he's never hear her say to him.

"I'm in love with you."

Teddy sat there, ridged. He didn't know how to respond to that, he didn't know what to say to her. How on earth could he tell her?

"Teddy, please say something." Victoire pleaded with him. He looked up to see her looking straight at him. He sat there trying to find the right words but they seemed to elude him right now. He had to say something though, so he summoned all of his courage to respond.

"I love you too Vic." She lit up. "Just not in that way."

The smile disappeared from her face and she looked at him with an icy cold glare. He had to explain why, but he knew she wouldn't like it.

"I can't love you like that because my heart belongs to another." He told her. If anything her glare got colder. "Please don't blame her she doesn't even know yet but I will tell her. Someday."

Victoire had launched herself out of the seat. She had shouted at him, cursed at him as well. She screamed that she was the only one in the world good enough for him, the only one who truly understood him. This was another reason he couldn't love Victoire, she was much too self-centred and she was wrong. The girl Teddy loved deserved him, in fact he was of the opinion she was too good for him. She understood him better than anybody, including Victoire. Victoire had stormed out with a sore throat from shouting and a tear-stained face. She left Teddy there feeling awful about himself. He had wanted to tell her the whole truth but he couldn't bring himself to break her heart even more, to make this whole situation worse.

The whole truth was that Teddy was in love with a Weasley. Just not Victoire Weasley.
