First installment of the You Smiled Drabble Collection! Let's kick it off with some TeddyLily Luna, yes? :)

My prompt for this one was 'unconscious.'


He had been the one to find her; sprawled out on the floor, a look of horror frozen on her face, her mouth hanging open, and her eyes staring at nothing.

He thought she was the victim of a Killing Curse.

He thought she was dead.

Her brothers, though scared and worried, never missed an opportunity to tease him for screaming - and scream he did.

He had screamed and cried, picked her up and put her back down, hugged her and touched her, until Uncle Harry finally came and told him what to do.

Teddy had never been so scared in his life. And he was 10 years older than her. And they weren't even really related.

As he sat by her hospital bed and did his Auror paperwork, he kept glancing at her face, her stomach.

Is she still breathing?

Is she ok?

The Healers said she'd wake up in two days and not to worry, but what did they know? Uncle Harry should have called in a specialist. This was Lily they were talking about! What if she had internal damage or something?

Uncle Harry said that she'd be ok - his uncle Sirius had told him about a time when he had opened the golden box as well. It was apparently a trinket from Grimmauld Place, intended to punish the opener for their curiosity; curiosity had killed the cat, after all. Lily would wake up a week later, and remember everything that had happened.

"She can hear you, Teddy," he had said gently. "Why don't you talk to her?"

But Teddy hadn't said a word to her the whole five days she'd been unconscious, afraid he'd say something stupid that would ruin their relationship forever, like "I love you" or "Don't leave me." But he did hold her hand. Everyday.

He hoped she'd understand.

She woke up two days later with his name on her lips.

He figured they'd be okay.


I'll be posting more because its fun to go out of your comfort zone (pairing-wise), but review anyway? :)
