Teddy Lupin was going mad, and it was all because of Lily Luna Potter. He needed to talk to someone; he needed to talk to someone who wouldn't judge him too badly, but who? Albus of course, Teddy concluded. He got up from his desk and made his way to the Potions Master's office.

*With Albus*

Albus smirked. His potion was almost complete; all he had to do was add just one last pinch of ground up snake fangs. He was making a potion to keep you awake and give you a full night's sleep without your head touching the pillow, a potion that he had been working on since his fifth year and now he had found the perfect ingredients to make such a potion.

"Just a pinch," Albus said as he flicked wand and the snake fangs began to crush themselves. He waited quietly for the magic to do it. Potion making should not be rushed after all; it was an art that had to be savored, like a fine wine. He waited ten minutes for the snake fangs before he took a little pinch and threw it into the potion. It turned a bright purple color. Albus grabbed his strewing rod and strewed it three times clockwise. The bright purple dulled a little, and Albus smirked. It was ready. After years of trying to get this potion right, he had finally finished it.

He summoned a round vile for the potion. Just as he was about to put some of the potion into the vile, a loud knock came from the door, almost making Albus spill his potion and drop the vile. Cursing, Albus put the vile down and walked over to the door.

"What is so important that you must interrupt me?" Albus hissed as he opened the door. He then noticed that it was Teddy.

"Um… Sorry Al. I'll just come back later." Teddy said as he turned. Albus groaned.

"No come in, just let me finish up okay, and then we can talk about whatever's bothering you." Albus told him. Teddy followed the young Potions master into his office/living area. He had been in the office before, and he never got over how homey it was, well as homey as any Slytherin would make it really. Teddy was overcome with the ghastly smell of Al's newest potion.

"Bloody Albus, what are you using to make your potion? Dragon dung," Teddy asked the other man. Albus scowled as he picked up the vile again.

"What if I am, I know what I'm doing, I am the Potions Master after all." Teddy rolled his eyes. Albus was in one of his moods, he always got into one of these moods when someone interrupted his potion making or Quidditch or sex. (James told him the last bit about the sex after he interrupted Albus and Alice one day that summer. Albus had been in a very foul mood after that) Albus could be a very nice person, but if you caught him at the wrong time, he could be a real dick.

"So what potion are you working on?" Teddy asked Albus after he bottled the potion. Albus put the potion in a cupboard and locked it up.

"It's almost like a Muggle energy drink, but it gives your body a full night sleep without going to sleep. I've been working on it since fifth year and I've finally got it right. Now all I've got to do it test it, but of course I'm sure it works, but I still have to test it." Albus explained. Teddy thought about this for a moment.

"So it's basically the exact opposite of the Draught of the Living Dead, it keeps you up instead of making you fall asleep?" Albus nodded.

"I don't plan on selling it or anything; I just wanted to see if I could really make something like that, you know?" Teddy nodded in understanding. Albus finished cleaning up his potions equipment before he sat down in the green leather chair near the fire. Teddy sat on the green leather couch. Neither said anything for a while.

"So you're here to talk about Lily," it wasn't a question, it was a statement. Teddy looked over to where Albus sat. He wasn't looking at Teddy; instead he was looking at a picture of Alice. He must really miss her, I don't think they've seen each other since the start of the term, Teddy thought to himself, and how does he always do that! It's like the kid can read my fucking mind!

"Yeah," Teddy finally said, "I'm here to talk about Lily." Albus put the Muggle picture of Alice down before he turned to Teddy, a small smile on his face.

"Well go on, start talking." Albus told him. And he did, he told Albus about his dreams (no details) and about his feelings for Lily and well… everything. Albus said nothing the whole time, he just let Teddy get it out, and Teddy was glad he didn't say anything, he needed this.

"I just can't get her out of my head, Al. She's always there, no matter what. I think I'm in love with her," He whispered the last part. Albus said nothing for a few minutes, after a few minutes and stood up. He's going to throw me out or tell me I'm a sick bastard for loving Lily, Teddy thought. But instead of hexing him or throwing him or even yelling, Albus walked over to his liquor cabinet, grabbed two glasses and poured fire whiskey in each glass. He pulled out his wand and sent if over to Teddy, who grabbed it and looked at it as if he had never seen fire whiskey before.

"You drink it, Ted," Albus said, amusement shinning in his green eyes.

"Well no shit, but why aren't you angry? If I would have told James he would have hexed me." Albus, who normally hexed anyone who compared him with James, shrugged.

"I'm not James, am I? I actually think about things before I do them. As for being angry, I got over when I first found out." Teddy gaped at him, which caused Albus to roll his eyes. "Teddy, it wasn't that hard for me to figure out. You're lucky I'm just a very observant person. No you weren't that obvious, like I said, I'm just observant." Teddy rubbed his temples.

"What am I going to do, Albus? I can't go on like this," Albus shrugged.

"I don't know, maybe you should tell her? Lily's been in love with you since she was a little girl." Teddy glared at him.

"It's against the law and school rules, Al! I could lose both of my jobs, and your father's respect!" He hissed

"Do you love her," Albus asked him.

"Of course I love her," Before Teddy could say anything else, Albus said, "Then tell her. I want my baby sister to be happy, and I know that you are the one who can make her happy." Teddy didn't argue with him, he knew what he had to do. Teddy would tell Lily how he felt.

*That Saturday*

It wasn't long before Saturday arrived, and with Saturday came their afternoon tea. Teddy sat in his classroom trying to grade papers as he waited for her, but his thoughts wouldn't focus on the task at hand. With a frustrated sigh, Teddy put the papers away. He wouldn't be able to do them now, not with what he was planning.

He was going to tell Lily today. He even asked her not to bring her friends like she normally did to their tea. He had a feeling that she knew something was up, but she hadn't said anything. Was that a good thing or a bad thing?

"Teddy," Ted looked up to see Lily standing at the door. He took a deep breath before he smiled.

"Hey Lils, come on in." Lily timidly made her way into the classroom. Teddy took out his wand and turned a desk into a table. With another flick of his wand the tea made itself and appeared on the table. Lily smiled and took her seat across from Teddy. They began to talk, about how Lily caught Hugo and Joan snogging before she left the common room and how her lessons were going.

Lily took a sip. It's now or never, Teddy told himself.

"Lily," Teddy said. Lily put her tea cup down and smiled at him. "Yes Ted." Teddy didn't say anything. Instead he got up from his seat and made his way over to her. He then kneeled down to her level and said, "Don't hate me," before his lips caught hers in a kiss. Lily didn't kiss back at first, but when she did Teddy's heart speed up. Her lips are as soft as they look, Teddy thought to himself. Lily is the one who broke the kiss, with tears in her eyes.

"What was that for?" She asked. Teddy gave her an odd look.

"What do you mean? I kissed you because I lov-because I have feelings for you. Why else would I do it?" Teddy asked. Lily shook her head.

"You….wait what," Lily asked confused. Teddy kissed her lips once more.

"I li-oh bloody hell why not, I love you Lily. I have since school started; maybe even longer than that, I'm not sure. I wouldn't kiss you just for kicks Lily; I was raised better than that." Lily's beautiful green eyes stared into his gray ones for the longest time, and then a smile formed on her lips. Before Teddy knew what was happening, Lily's lips found his. Teddy wasted no time in kiss her back. Just like before, it was pure magic that was the only way either of them could describe it. When they pulled away Lily said, "We'll have to keep a secret, right?" Teddy sighed and nodded.

"Well from everyone but Albus, he's the one who convinced me to tell you how I feel." Teddy told her. Lily smirked.

"Remind me to thank him, maybe I'll send him a thank you card and a picture of us snogging." Teddy gave her a look. Lily held her hands up in defeat, "Fine, just the card then."

It was perfect, for both of them. Yet Teddy had ignore a part of his brain that kept saying that something big was going to happen, because he was afraid that the something big was people finding out about their relationship….. And in a way he was right, but on another level he was so wrong.
