Fireworks


Teddy Lupin & Victoire Weasley

2020

Together they sat, gazing longingly into each other's eyes. As normal, people stared. Mostly at her instead of him. It was her mother's side with their Veela magic that made her presence so irresistible. It came in handy when his embarrassment made him lose control and his hair would suddenly flourish bright blue, causing her to erupt in sweet sounding laughter.

Gently, Teddy kissed the back of her silky hand, his lips barely touching her soft pale skin. A giggle bubbled from her blood-stained lips and he smiled warmly, returning his lips to pucker her skin once more. The candles flickered around them, casting dancing shadows across the walls of the Muggle restaurant.

In a nervous manner, Victoire ducked her head. Teddy was still amazed that with all her beauty, she was still self-conscious. A strand of shimmering blonde hair dropped from behind her hair and before she could react, Teddy quickly brushed it aside, leaving his fingertips to trickle down her cheek and across her jaw line. Instinctively, Victoire leaned towards his touch as he pulled away and they both leaned across the table.

When their lips touched, a blast of fireworks exploded in the distance. The moment was that of a Muggle movie; oozing perfection like a fairytale. As their lips moved, the fireworks illuminated their faces, shining in all colours of the rainbow like a million shooting stars. With the final pop from largest of firecrackers, their lips pulled away.

Teddy could feel the hot, sweet breath on his skin. He looked up into her beautiful, glistening eyes and melted under her stare. She blushed rosy red and ducked again but Teddy lifted her chin up instantly. Her presence radiated Veela magic so much that he felt speechless. But he managed to murmur, "Happy Valentine's Day!"
