A Teddy in Colour
4. Crimson
Victorie's hair isn't quite blood red, but when she's angry, it can give that impression.
Though she's usually angry on his behalf as opposed to angry at him, which is relieving. And gratifying.
Because it's nice to have people angry for you.
And he wanders around with hair the same shade as hers for quite a while after.
Until he realises how awkward that is.
But she doesn't mind. She's happy, in fact. Because secretly, she thinks he's cool. And in public too, because she defends him. And not just because he's practically family – because her uncle Harry is his godfather or anything like that.
But she pretends to be embarrassed because it's cute to see him flustered. Especially since the drop of Veela blood she's inherited doesn't seem to manage that.
