Teddy/Lily
Prompt: Spider Web
Spider Web
August 30, 2014
"Come on, Teddy!" Lily shrilled as she skipped about the garden, her long red hair flying about behind her. "You'll never catch me at that pace!"
Teddy grinned and chased after her, reaching her in four long strides and tackling her around the waist. She squealed in delight as he lifted her upside down and held her by the ankles.
"Put me down!" she protested through bursts of laughter, thrashing her arms and legs around. Teddy laughed as he placed her on her feet, before she swatted him on the arm and scurried away from him.
"You're it," she cried.
The two of them weaved their way in and out of the garden and headed down towards the lake. As Lily passed between two trees, she screamed and stumbled backwards. Her hands were flying about her face wildly.
"What's wrong, Lil?" Teddy asked as he approached her. Lily's brown eyes were wide with panic as she pulled what looked like string out of her face.
"Sp – spider web," she spluttered fearfully, spitting out tufts of web and hair from her mouth. Teddy chuckled, earning him a fierce glare. "Don't just stand there!" she demanded. "Help me get it off!"
Sighing in amusement, Teddy reached into his pocket for his wand and quickly vanished the spider web from her tangled hair. Lily smiled in thanks and took a deep breath.
"Scared of spiders, eh Lily?" Teddy teased her lightly. "You're just like Uncle Ron."
Lily shook her head stubbornly. "I'm not scared of spiders," she replied indignantly. "I just don't like their webs. They're all sticky and get tangled in my hair."
Teddy rolled his eyes. "Sure," he drawled. Poking her tongue out at him, Lily sprinted away down the river bank.
"You're still it, Teddy Lupin. Just try to catch me!"
A/N: More light hearted fluff! This was such a random prompt, but I thought this was a cute little scenario.
