It's almost dramatic, the way that he issues encomiums to the girl who he knows he doesn't have the right to keep; it's not meant to be VictoireandScorpius – it's supposed to be VictoireandTeddy…and he's always known this.
It's desperate how he clings to her, tries to whisper into her ear that he loves her every second, runs his hands through her blonde hair at ever opportunity. She's becoming sick of him, he can see, but it's the only way that he can think of to keep her close.
He reaches his final resort, the one that he never wanted to sink to, because he thinks this is how his Father landed his Mother – bribery.
So he buys Victoire dress after dress, mistakenly thinking that she wants coral and crimson in the same outfit when she mentions – in passing – that they'd be an interesting match.
(He doesn't listen to her enough to know that she meant that it was really disgusting, and that she was just dissing Lily's fashion style even more.)
And, soon, no matter how much he praises her, he still hears the words, "We're over."
