Alright so... New Chapter... That's pretty much all I can say... Right

"My mom, sister and grandmother. They've always been prettier than me, and honestly I prefer it that way. My mother's side of the family is naturally beautiful because of the veela blood, but I want people to see me as something beyond my face. Yet that's all people see. And my first boyfriend..." Victoire was sobbing, but she continued anyway, "He took advantage of my face. He flaunted me as if I was an accessory. And when he saw that I had a brain... That I wasn't a blonde bimbo. He dumped me. Cruelly. He told me that he never loved me, that he never even liked me."

Teddy didn't speak up for a long while. He just held Victoire against his chest as she sobbed into his shirt.

"And ever since then. I've built up walls around myself, everytime I meet new people or let people past those walls... I'm taking a huge chance. And when you kissed me. Well I needed to know why you wanted to kiss me, and you answered beautiful, and perfect... I thought you only liked my looks... I'm sorry Teddy."

Victoire cried her eyes out for a long time, but Teddy remained silent. He simply held the petite figure of the girl he loved and waited.

"Vic. I don't blame you. I understand. Those aren't problems I've ever had, but I can imagine how much it hurt you. If it makes you feel any better, people expect me to be nothing except some clown all the time."

Victoire smiled at the freckled, pale boy with hair that was the colour of firetrucks, "Thank you Teddy."

Teddy smiled back the girl, "So, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go on a date with me sometime..." He asked awkwardly.

Victoire laughed at Teddy's awkwardness, but gladly accepted his invitation.

The next morning, Abby smiled at Walter as she passed him on the way to her friends who sat at the end of the Gryffindor table.

"Who's that?" Travis asked Walter once the girl was out of earshot.

"A girl I know." Walter mumbled into his breakfast.

"I didn't realize you knew any girls Walt." Gavin teased.

"I wish you guys realized that I know plenty of people who aren't you!" Walter fumed, before storming back over to his houses' table.

"Is this seat taken?" Walter asked Victoire.

"What? Oh, Walter! No, of course. Join me." She smiled up at the pale freckled boy.

He sat down heavily with an exasperated sigh.

"What's up?" Victoire asked, concern clearly written across her face.

"My friends think I am incapable of talking to girls without their help."

"Which girl?"

"That one." Walter told her, pointing at the brunette he had met in the library.

"You like Abby?!" Victoire exclaimed in a whisper.

"What?"

"That's Abby. She's one of my best friends!" Victoire whispered excitedly.

"Abby." Walter said, as if he was trying on the name for size.

"I could talk to her for you, if you'd like." Victoire suggested.

"NO. I want to talk her myself." Walter said, standing abruptly and heading towards the Gryffindor table.

So, I hope you enjoyed this. If you did feel free to leave a review.
