Victoire's POV

I had a feeling of pride from the weekend and after I had won the chess game; and that feeling continued well into the week. I was in NEWT Charms with Leah; who had decided it was high time I tell her what 'really' happened with Teddy in the Common Room – but I wanted to keep that information to myself.

"So are telling me that you didn't even snog the fit bastard?" Leah whispered, shocked.

"Yes. And why are you referring Ted Lupin as the 'Fit Bastard'?"

"'Cause he's fit."

"That's it?"

"What more do you want, I'm not a novelist." She put the end of her quill near her mouth and started eyeing up and flirting with Edward Matthews – Ravenclaw – who was sitting across the room from us and went a shade of bright scarlet. She winked provocatively.

Then she suddenly snorted with laughter.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm a raging slut." She said it, matter of fact-ly.

"You said it, not me." I replied simply, she merely shrugged.

Flitwick dismissed us – we packed away our things and shuffled our way out of the room.

"Hey! Weasley!" a familiar voice echoed throughout the corridor. Students turned their heads to look at me. Leah turned to see who had shouted my name; the realisation on her face was obvious. Leah expression changed, she smiled at Teddy, a forced but somehow a genuine smile – and she successfully pulled it off.

"Hey, Teddy." She practically purred.

"Er, hey Leah." Teddy said off-hand-ly.

"Hey, Ted we're going to be late." called Charlie who is Teddy's best friend.

"No worries, I'll catch up!" Teddy yelled back; then we both looked at Leah, giving her a cue to leave. Her daydream finished and left sulkily to Potions.

"Tell Slughorn I'm going to be a tiny bit late." I said to her.

"Sure, whatever…"

I faced Teddy; he seemed taller, more assured. I felt really small next to him. He looked down, meeting my eyes; his messy hair falling into his face. Teddy smiled. "You didn't win you know. You owe me one." He measured his words carefully.

"I won because Leah interrupted your sabotaging." I replied confidently.

"Sabotaging? How was I sabotaging?" Teddy asked; his eyebrow raised and he smirked.

"By pushing my buttons." I said now slightly unsure.

"Pushing buttons? What kind of buttons, because I'm sure you have all different types of buttons, even ones you haven't discovered yet…" Teddy trailed off, thinking.

I didn't have an answer.

"Anyway, Weasley, I'll let you off and just this once I'll teach you Quidditch, but only what the Chasers do; that's simple enough, I'll be in touch, Weasley." And he turned and walked away. "Though remember you still owe me one!"

I simply shook my head and made my way to Potions; when I entered I realised we were doing the theory of the Love Potion. Oh, great.

Again, Leah wanted to know what she missed when Teddy was talking to me.

"I bet you he wanted to go to the Room of Requirement on Friday, if you catch my drift…" she smirked lost in the moment.

"You worry me sometimes." I replied.

"He just wants to shag you." I looked at her and the four Ravenclaws on the other table turned and glared at us.

"One day your big mouth will get you into trouble." I said.

"Who said it already hasn't?"

"Piss off."

"Hey, I was just saying he wants to give you one – no harm in that."

"Right, that's it, I'm never talking to you again." I turned back to my copy of Advanced Potion Making; observing my notes I've made.

"Hey, Vic, babe, without me, you would not know how to unlock the secrets of the male mind." Leah said it like she had all the wisdom of the world, and she knew it.

Like shit, I thought.

So after dinner, I decided to go to bed because Leah was continuing with her little theories, which were getting stranger and stranger.

The rain we had after lunch had made my cloak and tights all sodden, so I placed them next to the heater. Suddenly a small thump sounded against my window. I walked over to investigate, to see who threw the pebble, that tried to destroyed my window, to find a broomstick beside me; it's rider had blue hair like the sea, and eyes like chocolate.

I looked at Teddy; he had a wicked glint in his eye. "I told you I'd be in touch. Now I think its time for that Quidditch lesson."

Last chapter of the Three today, but I'm writing again which is amazing the next chapter is called Quidditch Practice and its in Teddy's POV, and I'm very excited! Please Review, and I'll keep on writing!
