Chapter 3 :

A secret

I am working on my divions homework one afternoon when Zoey tells me that she is going to see a friend of hers in the great hall for a game of chess, I nod and continue my work. After an hour at work I see Dragon sleeping on my bed, I pick him up and sit near the window, I stroke his soft little head while watching some first years practice their spells in the courtyard, I laugh out loud since nobody is in the room, as a group gets wet after a first year tried to use the Aqua Eructo charm. I hear footsteps outside the room then hear the door open, Teddy is standing there with a book in his hand.

"Teddy, you're not allowed in here!

-I know, but everyone is outside in the warm weather."

He comes sits down next to me and strokes Dragon

"So why aren't you out too? I ask him

-Well… I kinda not allowed after a jinxed a first year, I have to stay indoors for the next term."

I laugh out loud and he joins me.

"What did he do to deserve it?

-Nothing, I was just playing a Joke on Albus"

We laugh some more until we can't breath, I wipe a tear from my eye.

"What's with the book?

-It's a photo album, of my parents, plus a few drawings of mine"

He opens it to show me the moving pictures of Tonks and Lupin smiling or dancing around. I see that Teddy has a real talent as some drawings of Harry and the family or random objets, are really amazing, but there are none of me. We look at photos for a quite a while. We start to talk about Muggle class when he blurts out

"Do you want to go on a walk with me?"

I look outside and see that the sun is beginning to set. I put Dragon down and tell him I will meet him outside. As soon as he steps out a run to my closet to pick out a nice outfit to wear, I wave my wand and in midair move my clothes around to try to find something. I finally pick out a green skirt, grey jumper and black tights. I quickly pull my hair in a high pony tail and leave.

(Couldn't find white hair in a ponytail)

I half run half walk to the main doors when I see him, his hair was now no sign of blue, it's a deep brown. He was changed clothed too, he is wearing a green cardigan, some jeans and walking boots. I have to say he looks very cute.

He starts to smile when he sees me

"Victoire, you look… very pretty.

-Thank you Ted!

-Ted? I like that"

We start to walk, but I keep looking at his hair, after about half an hour he asks

"Victoire, do you like my hair?

-of course, but blue looks so-"

At the blink of the eye his hair changed into a deep marvelous blue that match his eyes.

"This is my natural colour"

I can't help myself and start to touch to, when I look down at his face I notice his is looking right into my eyes, we stay like this for a while until—

We lock lips, he puts his arms around my waist while mine go around the back of his neck. I can feel his heart betting very fast. She kiss for a few minutes when I hear a crack. I quickly look behind me to see Fred II and his mates taking photos of us two. But by the time I open my mouth to shout they are already out of sight. I look back at Teddy who has the biggest smile I have ever seen.

A few days after me and teddy have not really talked about the kiss, we do hang out a lot more but never seem to find a time to be by ourselves. We have not told anybody about what happened. The only people who seem to know are Fred and his friends. It is not until Dominique that I know that is not the case:

On the back is written "Stole this from Teddys roome, you're welcome!"

I realize that Ted did draw me, but he probably kept the pictures in another book. I can't be mad at Dominique because the drawing is adorable.
