prompts: red letter day & rhapsody
pairing: victoirelysander


-x-

beside seventh year lysander scamander, his twin brother lorcan was in rhapsodies about the current object of his affections, lucy weasley. lysander could hardly hear about how red her hair was and how blue her eyes were, because he was so focused on waiting for the owls to come flying it.

it was letter day, and victoire owed him a letter.

just as lorcan was about to start on about her lips, an owl swooped in, then two, then ten, then hundreds. letters and packages fell, several students got some interesting howlers, but as lysander waited, there was no letter.

and then there was.

a purple envelop landed gently in front of him, and lysander grinned as he tore into it.

he regretted wishing for a letter the second he read the first words.

you are cordially invited to the wedding of victoire weasley and teddy lupin

his heart broke despite the fact that he had in all honestly seen it coming - victoire was into older guys, not younger ones, anyway.

he had no chance, even before the wedding invitation, and it had taken him this long to see.

he balled the invitation up and threw it behind him on the ground.
