He was like her teddy bear, and she knew it was stupid. Wasn't a teddy bear a child's toy, she was no child, not anymore. But he had always been there to comfort her... And isn't that what a teddy is for? A real teddy is there for you no matter what you need or when you need it. A real teddy is there for you to cry on, to jump around with, to squeeze to stuffing out of... And hadn't he been there for all of those things. He had been there to right a letter to the tooth fairy with, to play with her when Albus and James left for Hogwarts, to buy an owl with when it was her turn to leave, to dance with her at her 16th birthday party, and he even met her in Hogsmead when she had needed someone to help her study for O..
But then she realized that he couldn't be her teddy, maybe he had been, but he wasn't now, not anymore. Because who in hell was in love with their teddy and who in their right mind would want to snog the living daylights out of their teddy. And maybe she wasn't in here right mind, because there was no way she could be with her teddy, but she still wanted to. She knew it was hopeless because he was in love with his Barbie, the perfect Victorie. He would never dream about Lily the same way she dreamt about him. He would believe he was her teddy, her childhood friend. He would never see her as the woman she was now, and it killed her. What else could she do? She wouldn't suffer this pain any more if there was a chance that she didn't have to, she would give him away, hand him down to someone else... Because isn't that what all children were supposed to do with their teddies when they grew up? "But," she thought, "didn't some people keep their teddies. Didn't some people hide them in the attic or under their beds to take out when no one else was around to judge them, or say that they were too old to play with childhood fantasies?" And that's exactly what she did.
A/N: Hope the whole toy thing wasn't to weird. Let me know what you thought and if it made sense!
