A/N: Day 10! This one is of a romantic nature wooo.
Review?
Victoire and Teddy
She was convinced that it took guts to fall in love.
There was a reason it was called "falling"; there was a connotation that one is dropping into depths unknown, into territory uncharted. To fall in love, one has to be willing to take a chance. To fall in love, one has to be willing to admit fault and also accept it in others. Falling in love was poetic, it was heart wrenching, it was joyful and it was scary. Courage was definitely needed to truly fall for someone.
But to fall in love with a metamorphmagus was just pure insanity. Or maybe it was just him; in which case, falling in love with Ted Remus Lupin was lunacy. She was crazy. She had to be.
Teddy was ridiculous, in every sense of the word. He was temperamental, jumping from happy to bored to thoughtful to playful in a matter of minutes. He loved to try and look like other people just to see if she would catch on that it was him (she found it was quite easy to do so; no matter who he looked like, he couldn't lose that signature grin), and had an awful habit of changing his appearance with his mood. She was coming to associate black, curly hair with anger, and it really knocked her off balance when a young Ravenclaw with black, curly hair would ask her for help. Just being around him made her worry, made her nervous, frustrated her.
He kept her on her feet, made it so she could never just relax and simmer. She always had to be going somewhere, doing something, exploring new heights. Their dates had to be exotic places; the day after he turned 17, he took her along to see some places in Italy because he had never been before, and that was just a shame to him. Even while they were in school, he would ask her to visit high spires to see the moonlight or have picnics down by the lake.
But, she decided as she watched him study in the library, his brow furrowed and his hair in its customary blonde studying color, she did love him. She loved the stupid grin he always had on his face when trying to trick her. She loved the spontaneity. She loved how, when it was just the two of them, he would lose most of his devil may care attitude and be genuinely sweet.
Teddy could be strange and crazy, but he was also sweet and caring. Even when they were younger, and he was just the boy that Aunt Ginny would watch sometimes, she found herself interested in him.
He was her opposite in so many ways. He was everything she wasn't in all the ways that people could see. She was serious, reserved, and beautiful. He was mischievous, funny, and always changing.
Like she said, falling for him was crazy. It wasn't courageous, just ridiculous.
But, truthfully, she really loved being insane.
