Victoire and Teddy
It's easy to fall in love. The hard part is finding someone to catch you.
From the time Victoire was young, she loved the idea of love. She watched the adults in her family all in love with their partner. Victoire wanted that, very very much. She also wanted children of her own. Being the oldest grandchild, she watched her cousins all grow up and loved all of them and couldn't wait to have a family of her own.
Victoire had a best friend in Teddy Lupin. He had been her best friend since she was a child. As he was only a year older then Victoire, the two were very close. She had once asked her Uncle Harry why Teddy had a different last name then all the others in the family. Harry had explained that Teddy was not technically a family member, he was Harry's Godson and that after the Great War the Weasleys had accepted Teddy and his grandmother Andromeda as family.
Teddy had been Victoire's first kiss the night before she went to Hogwarts for her first year. They had been at her grandparents house having dinner as was Weasley tradition. After dinner, the two went up to the room Teddy shared with Fred and Louis. Teddy sat on his bed while Victoire sat across from him. As she opened her mouth to say something, Teddy leaned forward and kissed her on the mouth. Victoire kissed him back softly until he pulled away.
"I just thought it would be easier to have your first kiss with someone you know rather than it being awkward later." Teddy whispered, taking Victoire's hand in his. Victoire smiled and kissed his cheek.
"I know you didn't mean anything by it Bear. It was nice. Was that your first kiss too?" Victoire asked softly.
"Yeah, to both." Teddy blushed, his neon blue hair turning red. Victoire laughed.
"I love you, Bear." Victoire sat beside Teddy and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Love you, Toire." Teddy kissed her forehead and smiled softly at her.
Victoire realized she was in love with Teddy after her fourth year at school. She realized that she had been in love with him for years, since she was a child. But Teddy only liked her as a friend. His very best friend. He saw her as his little sister. He would never love her like she loved him.
So Victoire stated to date when she returned to school for her fifth year. She was still close to Teddy and the two would still spend hours together on weekends and in the Library. Teddy was a Hufflepuff and Victoire was a Gryffindor so they rarely spent time in their own common rooms. They spent time together instead. Most of the time Victoire would travel down to the Hufflepuff Common Room as it was near the kitchens and she liked to sneak off to the kitchens after dinner.
Most of the time the two did homework, Teddy helping Victoire with her studies because he was a year ahead of her. But Victoire's favorite times were when Teddy would play for her. Teddy played the guitar and tested his songs on Victoire before playing them for their other friends.
Fifth year Victoire started to date Christopher Hayden, her fellow Gryffindor. He was in Teddy and Victoire's group of friends and told Victoire that he had liked her for months. Victoire thought that he was sweet and liked his personality, he just wasn't Teddy. But she agreed to go out with Chris and they had fun. When they broke up at the end of the year, they agreed it was best all around.
Sixth year, Victoire dated Danny Torrance, a Ravenclaw in her group of friends, Teddy was applying for jobs after school and had been accepted to both the Aurors and as a Healer. Teddy and Victoire had talked about every single pro and con to both jobs and Teddy decided to join the Aurors. Danny and Teddy had never been great friends, but the tolerated each other.
Danny had seemed friendly and kind when Victoire first met him. But within a week of dating, Danny said that he wanted Victoire to spend all of her free time with him before he graduated in June. Victoire reluctantly agreed, thinking that it would be best to have a bit of space from Teddy, to make the separation easier to take in June.
Victoire and Danny seemed the perfect couple in public, but they argued horribly when they were alone. Danny wanted Victoire to commit to a job so that they could find a flat together for after Victoire graduated the following year. Victoire didn't see herself with Danny that far ahead and Danny accused her of not being able to commit. But the final straw for Victoire was when Danny started pushing her to be intimate with him. She broke up with him the night before the Christmas Break and he gave her a black eye for it. Victoire had already told her parents that she was staying at school for the holidays, at the time to think about her future career without the chaos of holidays at her grandparents.
Within the first day of her holiday Victoire had decided to join the Aurors and had sent out her application since she was top of her class and had fulfilled all of her sixth year requirements. The rest of her holiday she looked at how upset she had been in the past three months. She never loved Chris and she certainly didn't love Danny. She loved Teddy, she had always loved Teddy and dating other boys did not change that as much as she wished it did.
One week after New Year the rest of the school returned. The night before the start of the new term, Victoire was walking back from dinner when she was pulled into a small alcove. Victorie saw Teddy in the light from the sunset in a window.
"Toire, did I do something to make you mad? You've barely spoken to me all year…" Teddy looked worried as he held onto Victoire's waist.
"No, Bear. When I was dating Danny, he wanted me to spend all my time with him. We fought all the time. I was sick of him, but what really set me off was his trying to be physical with me. I told him no and broke up with him. His present to me was a black eye." Victoire sighed looking at her trainers.
"I never liked him, Toire. He shouldn't have done that. I was so upset all holiday, I thought you were going to tell me that we couldn't be friends anymore. I don't know what I would do without you. You're such a large part of my life now." Teddy whispered looking at Victoire.
"I love you, Teddy Lupin. I've loved you since we were kids." Victoire said smiling up at Teddy.
Teddy kissed her firmly, sighing when she kissed him back. Teddy pulled Victoire against him as he kissed her harder and deepening the kiss, groaning as she kissed him harder.
"You're not leaving me. I hope you know that." Teddy growled, kissing Victoire's neck.
"I know. Not that I would want to." Victoire whimpered, holding Teddy to her as he bit her neck. Teddy pushed Victoire against the alcove wall and kissed her desperately, holding onto her waist as he kissed her hard. Victoire whimpered as Teddy kissed her roughly. Teddy pulled away, bringing Victorie away from the wall and hugging her hard.
"Sorry I was so rough; I've wanted to do that since we first kissed. I wanted to kill Chris and Danny because I've loved you for as long as I can remember. I never thought you loved me back or I would have done this years ago." Teddy murmured hugging Victoire to him.
"I don't mind, Bear. I love you. One of us should have said something." Victoire laughed softly.
Teddy kissed Victoire again, sweetly and softly. The two kissed until they heard a clock chime nine-thirty, curfew for older students. Teddy pulled away reluctantly.
"I'll walk you back to the tower." Teddy said taking Victoire's hand.
"I sent in my application to the Aurors. I should hear back by fall term. I'm going to miss you next term." Victoire said softly.
"I'm going to miss you too. I'm stationed in London for my training so we'll see each other at least for holidays. I want to get something so that your classmates know that you are off limits." Teddy said as he led her to the tower.
"Like what?" Victoire asked stopping.
"A ring. Not an engagement ring, a promise ring. Since you are mine now." Teddy said possessively.
"Yours?" Victoire asked raising my eyebrow.
"Yes, mine. We're together now, unless that was just a onetime thing? If so, we need to talk about things." Teddy growled pulling Victoire into a niche by the Fat Lady.
"No, it wasn't. But you haven't even asked me out yet." Victoire said softly.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Teddy asked taking her hands.
"Yes, I will." Victoire smiled and kissed Teddy. Teddy hissed and kissed Victoire back. After a moment Victoire pulled away much to Teddy's protests.
"It's after curfew. You need to get to the basements. I'll see you tomorrow, love." Victoire smiled and walked away. Teddy smiled back.
Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch in the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight
