Title: all roads, they lead me here
Summary: they've had too many last times. they need a few more forever's. \ Teddy/Astoria, M&MWP \ freeverse
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Credit for the pairing goes to Mew and Mor. I also don't own The Last Time by Taylor Swift and Gary Lightbody. *sigh*
AN: Lavender/Louis, Lorcan/Padma, LilyLuna/Cormac, Draco/Dominique and Neville/Victoire are also M&MWPs. And so is Astoria/Teddy, obviously. I'm on a M&MWP kick and I'm loving it.

Found myself at your door,
Just like all those times before,
I'm not sure how I got there,
All roads, they lead me here.
The Last Time, Taylor Swift ft. Gary Lightbody

they've tried to stop this too many times to count
she's too old, too married
he's too young, too taken
they're both too in love with other people
but those arguments fall through every time
.
because she and him are closer in age than lavender & louis are
or lorcan & padma are
or cormac and lily are.
and they're not taken any more.
her marriage was terminated because draco fell for dominique
and she refused to be a cuckolded wife.
his relationship is over because victoire and neville are
too in love to destroy.
and if they're in love with other people,
why do they keep coming back to each other?
[so all their protests are invalid.]
.
her apartment is too empty, too small
she is used to a manor with her child and his friends
(but her child has grown and moved into his own place
and the manor has a new lady)
she leaves the walls white
she brings nothing personal with her
she refuses to let her apartment become home.
.
his house is too big, too full of memories
(it is full of hopes and dreams that have been
shattered)
but he can't bring himself to get rid of her paintings
or those awful china dolls on the shelves
he refuses to let go.
.
too many times he has come to her door
"never again."
they whisper in the early hours of the morning
because this is tearing them to pieces,
renewing their scars
opening old wounds
and they pretend they are loved.
.
"this is the last time."
he says as he stands on her doorstep
in the pouring rain.
she sighs and lets him in
and they both pretend it really is the last time.
{they've had so many last times that weren't}
.
somehow they manage to finish.
they pull away and they don't see each other for weeks
but just when he thinks he's over her,
she's there at his door
and the situation is turned on its head.
"i'm sorry."
she whispers
"but i need this just once more."
he smirks at her.
"liar."
{they've had too many last times. they need a few more forever's.}
