It was quite ridiculous, really, and Dominique Weasley knew it. Teddy Lupin was three years older than she was, and the perfect specimen of mankind. Everyone had a bet on how long it would take him to take her older sister to Hogsmeade. And, there was no way in the world that Teddy would ever forget the time when she was seven, and the entire Weasley clan were eating Christmas dinner when Dominique thought it would be hilarious to run around the house in a tea cozy.
Still, all it took was a simple smile from the older boy to make Dominique's day.
"Oi, Dom," Teddy shouted from across the Gryffindor table at breakfast. "How many points did the Cannons score in the match yesterday?"
"Twenty," she called back.
"Told you," Teddy punched his friend on the shoulder. "Thanks, Dom-in-o."
"Anytime," she said, shooting him her biggest smile. He winked and turned back to his fellow seventh years.
"Teddy Lupin just talked to you!" squealed Chloe Spinnet. Dominique rolled her eyes.
"I've known him since we were both in diapers," she snorted. She had grown very good at hiding the fact that in reality, she'd like to squeal just as loudly as Chloe.
Sometimes he would pat her head as he walked by, or tap her shoulder. Always a smile, always a hello, always a joke. And every time she saw him, her stomach gave a pleasant little jump.
"Dom, dear, would you help me clear the dishes?" The fourth year nodded and stood up to help her Aunt Ginny. It was another large Weasley gathering, and of course, Teddy had been there too.
When they were both in the kitchen, Ginny set her pile of plates down.
"So," she said quietly, "how's Teddy?"
"Wonderful," Dominique said. Then she blushed. "I mean, I'm sure he's doing fine, he seemed to like the pudding-"
"I know how you feel," Ginny said gently. "I fell in love with Harry after catching a glimpse of him at King's Cross when I was ten."
Dominique stared at her aunt. "I'm not in love Teddy," she said quickly. "I just think that he's… perfect."
Ginny smiled. "Well, he is quite the catch."
"Auntie!" Dominique cried. "And I know," she continued. "Teddy likes Victoire. I'm not blind."
"Well, you can never be sure," Ginny grinned. "Harry was mad for a floof named Cho for a while. He came around in the end though."
"But he wants Victoire, and I'm pretty sure she likes him too," Dominique said. "And I just want him to be happy."
"That's pretty mature of you," Ginny said.
"I know it's just a silly crush," Dominique said sheepishly. "And I'm sure I'll get over it eventually. He'll always be perfect, though," she grinned.
"That's what I thought about Harry, too," Ginny said devilishly. "And now he leaves his dirty underwear all over the place-"
"Leaving," Dominique laughed loudly as she ran for the door.
The next time she passed Teddy, he messed her hair up.
And, of course, it made her day.
a/n- I hope you guys like this! I'm kind of in this position right now, so it was fun to write. Getting reviews would be like (finally) being let in to Pottermore! Vi
