From Me to You

A/N: So, I know this is quite different from the rest of the chapters but I had too much fun writing it to hold it back. I felt I had to publish it for many reasons. I'm making a slight fast-forward after this. Enjoy! And Please review afterwards.

Dear Teddy,

Things are pretty dull here at school. Not much to tell, at least in my year. But guess what? Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw during yesterday's game. Not that I care much but Dominique did score most of the winning points, so I believe I have to brag about my little sister's accomplishments! She's incredibly proud of herself, you should see her. Louis was red with anger, though. He claims that once he makes the team next year, he's going to be Ravenclaw's best defence. My only worry is that I'm afraid I'm going to have to put up with them when that explodes.

I have to go,

Love,

Victoire

Dear Vic,

I can't say the same. Things are crazy around here. The editor gave me more shorts stories to cover than I can handle, but I'm not complaining though, more stories mean more writing, even if my stuff still appears on the last page, next to the story of the old witch with the crazy amount of owls in her house.

Oh, and I'm glad for Dominique. I'll write her when I get the chance. By the way, I'm also glad I won't be there to witness your brothers' rivalry. If they are anything like you...and I know they are...

On another topic... I've been thinking a lot lately, and I've come to the conclusion that I have to see you before Easter week. You don't have any more visits to Hogsmade and I don't think it's healthy to wait that long.

Your dearest,

Ted

Dear Teddy,

I'm not sure what you meant by the 'if they are anything like you...' bit, but I'll ignore it because this was what really caught my attention from your last letter: 'Your dearest'?... What was that? You read that somewhere, didn't you? Because that amount of fluff can't come from your mouth.

I think you're privileged for appearing in the paper, even if it's next to the owl lady. I've noticed they're giving you more space, by the way. Soon you might even get a picture! And it won't be long until one of your stories makes the front page, you'll see!

And to the point: I couldn't agree with you more. If you have to see me, then the least I can do is cooperate. So...any suggestions?

Love,

Victoire

My dear of dearest's,

Yes, I read it in some novel that was lying around, and I knew you'd love it.

Actually, I'm glad we're finding a way to see each other in a place different than Hogsmade, because, it's getting kind of repetitive having to meet at the same shops, same pubs and...same alleys...

Let's just say we know every corner of Hogsmade rather well by now. I'm sort of blank on the suggestions, though.

Love,

Ted Remus Lupin –sounds classy, doesn't it?-

Teddy, I'm having problems with the word 'dear' now that you're over using it, so thanks for that. If you're going to read romance novels now, then at least use the enticing, seductive bits...not the over rated name fluff.

I'm glad as well. And, if you're getting bored of seeing me in the same places, then that calls for an urgent meeting! I wouldn't want to bore Ted Remus Lupin (try not to wear it out).

Love,

Victoire

My beloved dear Victoire,

Are you being sarcastic with me?

Ted Remus Lupin

February 20, 2017 6:30 pm

Teddy, (I beg you...quit calling me dear, dearest or beloved, I'm starting to feel like an old made)

I am not being sarcastic at all, I swear. I was being very serious, actually. I am far more interested in entertaining you- in a way of your preference- than in boring you...

Do. Believe. Me.

Love,

Victoire

Victoire,

Sorry It took me long to answer. But...I almost couldn't process your last note. You see...the image of you...entertaining me... is sort of messing with my head now and...

You know what? Turns out that I still haven't processed your last note.

Love,

Speechless.

Dear Speechless,

Good. That was the point...

But guess what...I got detention today... I opened your note at the beginning of Charms and Professor Slade caught me smirking like an idiot at the piece of parchment. But that wasn't the worst part, she took it off my hands and read it to the class, and then gave me detention for being very (and I quote): "generally incorrect". I mean...I didn't even write it! To top it all she took 15 points off my house...seems a bit drastic if you ask me. That woman has it against me...

And, by the way, everybody from Charms asked me to say hi to Mr. Speechless...

On the positive side...Today I got two Outstandings! One on my Astronomy map and the other one on my Arithmancy chart! That was enough to bring my spirit up after Charms.

But, returning to the main topic, we're not getting anywhere with this teasing around. Metis is getting sick of delivering these. She's been giving me her evil eye. Places? Ideas? A public place? Or a private one? My visiting places are quite limited, but you know that. I would suggest the Astronomy Tower...but I don't feel like filling a spot you used to fill with some other girl...

Go to go to detention,

Love,

Victoire

Dear Victoire,

My brainy, yet generally incorrect girl can't miss a detention now and then, can she? Leave some for the others...

I can't say how much I would have loved to see your face getting all red when Professor Slade read that note to the class.

By the way, it gets harder every day to write to you from the office, my boss began to notice Metis flying around here every two hours, and he's not happy about it. The solution? Simple, we'll switch owls for a while. I'll write to you with the ones at the Prohpet. By the way, tell your classmates that Mr. Speechless says hello...

A public place? Are you kidding me? No...definitely a private one.

About the Astronomy tower: First of all...how I'm I supposed to get to the Astronomy Tower? Second...as much as you love to torture me with that, I know that you used to sneak in there as well...and I know who it was with. One day you'll come clean...in the mean time...I think I have a good place where we can meet, and I can't believe I never thought of it before.

Love,

Almost desperate.

Dear Almost (why is it almost and not completely?) desperate,

About the Astronomy Tower...If you don't have evidence then you have nothing...

What's the place? Say it! We've been owling each other with this subject enough already.

Love,

Victoire

Dear Victoire,

Curious much? Take a guess.

Love,

Almost desperate (It's a process really, that's why it's just almost)

Dear still almost desperate,

I'm not guessing anything. Tell me.

Love,

Victoire

Dear Victoire,

You're loads of fun...aren't you? If you won't take a guess then maybe we should just see each other when you come home for Easter...in the comfort of your house or the quiet, lonesome place that is The Burrow.

Love,

Ted

Alright! Alright! ...I want to say...The Shrieking Shack...

Dear Victoire,

Damn…you're good with the guessing. Then again, you're visiting places are limited, as you said. So…when?

Love,

Now desperate

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

February 22, 2017 9:45 pm

Dear now desperate,

Let's end this once and for all.

Tomorrow night, around 9:30. That way I'll get to finish my rounds.

Love,

Eager already...

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

February 22, 2017 11:15 pm

Dear eager already,

I'm guessing I'm going to like this meeting…

Love,

Ted

February 23, 2017 1:07 am

Dear Teddy,

You're good with the guessing…

In the mean time, sleep well…if you can sleep at all, that is.

Love,

Victorie
