Dear Diary,
In about twenty minutes, I have to check out of my little hotel room in Hogsmeade. I visited Victoire yesterday. We talked for almost two hours, then kissed goodbye. It's been three years now that we've been together, and we still haven't let her family know. What I have with her is real, probably the realest thing I've ever felt, but I'm scared to tell people. Grandmum doesn't mind, and I'm sure Harry won't. But what about Bill and Fleur? Sure, the Weasley-Potters all like me, but dating one of them... that would be different. And she is younger than me. Then again, she's two years younger than me, and Mum and Dad were thirteen years apart, so what's two? We're both adults now.
I wish Mum and Dad were here now; they might have better advice on dating. I have no idea how to move forward with Victoire, especially while I'm still afraid to tell her family. By this point I'm sure they all know we snogged, but that's not the same as me telling them I'm in love with her. But I am. I don't even know what my life is without her in it. I'd just be some Auror trainee (fingers crossed), and that would be something, but it's Victoire that really gives my life meaning. I'm thinking that after she's done with Hogwarts, I might ask her to marry me. But first we have to tell her parents. They probably already have suspicions... major suspicions... but we'll need their approval.
Anyway, have to get ready for check out.
Signing off,
Teddy Lupin
