For the Girl
Pairing: Mute!AU. Teddy/Lily Luna
Teddy hears the talk.
"That Potter kid is so weird."
"She doesn't talk. She's a freak."
"She must have come from outer space."
It takes everything in Teddy to not beat up anyone that says something bad about her.
He has known Lily since she was born, and she is not a freak. She's mute after being forced to watch her mother being killed at the age of four. The fact that she's still living after experiencing such a traumatic event proves how strong she is.
These people don't know Lily like he does. They have no right to talk about her as if they do know her.
He would defend her honor, but he knows Lily wouldn't be pleased. She hates violence.
So, he'll have to fantasize shutting them up for good without being able to make it a reality.
When Lily smiles at him, he knows she's worth his aggravation. When she takes his hand, he knows he'll do anything for her. And when she kisses him, everything feels right in his world, and he vows to do everything he has to in order to make her happy.
He loves her, and he knows how lucky he is that she loves him as well.
