Author's Notes: I know some of the information is incorrect (such as James and Teddy being in the same year etc) and I am a Potterhead but I needed to change some things to make it work so... don't judge, okay?

It had been 3 weeks since Teddy and Victoire had broken up. It had also been a stupid fight, one of which that Victoire had started. Being two years older than her didn't help either. She was 12, he was 14. It was a frowned upon relationship.

He remembered it clearly, the argument that is. Victoire had stormed into the room, her eyes flashing dangerously.

"Tell me you didn't." She had hissed in Teddy's face, making him take a step back. He had known what she was talking about though. One of the Gryffindor girls who had a crush on him for basically forever had kissed him at a party in the summer. How Victoire had found out was beyond him.

"Victoire, I didn't kiss her-"

"You liar. I should have known you were just using me to look cool in front of your mates. "Oh look, Teddy's got a young, hot girlfriend!"" She flung a pillow at him in disgust.

"If you would just listen to me-"

"I don't ever want to hear your voice again. I don't ever want to look upon your ugly face again. AND I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR STUPID BLUE HAIR EVER, EVER AGAIN!" And then it was over. A short, but painful argument. She hadn't even let him explain himself.

So, as he knelt on the ground at his Grandmother's house, he decided it was all for the best. Victoire didn't want to hear it and by then, neither did Teddy. He had tried to call, but she had unplugged their useless phone. He had visited her house but Bill had told him she didn't want to see him.

Teddy shook his head. It hadn't worked out. And he wasn't surprised. Victoire was too temperamental. She was always running her mouth. She couldn't help herself. Teddy had known he shouldn't have gotten involved with her. And now he was paying the price.

He folded his spare shirted and placed them in his trunk, considering everything. He would have to avoid her, he thought dully. She would glare at him through the corners of her eyes like girls did when they were mad. She would spread nasty rumours like Victoire did when she was mad. She would even get her friends to be rude to him just out of spite. And all because she was mad about something he hadn't done. Girls, he thought wearily.

"Teddy, are you packed yet?" Andromeda Tonks, his Grandmother, called shakily. Teddy sighed. He had meant to be packed an hour ago but the events caught in his mind had made him drift elsewhere.

"Almost, Gran." Teddy shouted back down. He could picture her rolling her eyes right then. She always did. It wasn't that he disappointed her; it's just that he wasn't the most organised of people.

He put spare school shoes, socks, blazers and trousers into his trunk before closing it. He was sure he had everything. He knew he'd packed his quidditch things, he was certain he had all the books he need and for once, he even had all his cauldrons. All he needed to do now was get his cat Soot into the cat carrier but that could wait until the following morning.

"Teddy, get some sleep. You're up bright and early tomorrow unless you want to miss the Hogwarts Express." His Grandmother said softly at his doorway. She kissed Teddy on the forehead and departed to get some sleep herself.

Teddy sighed, changing into his pyjamas and got into bed. His mind was buzzing and he wasn't sure that he would get any sleep. But sure enough, as soon as Teddy's head hit the pillow, he was out.
