Authors note: This is longer then what I first intended it to be. I just didn't even really plan to write it, I just started typing for some random reason and ended up with this. (Of course I did intend to write a chapter for Lily and Teddy, just not quite like this) So here's the last chapter to Potter Love. I might to a sequel called Weasley Love, with all the Weasley children falling in love. (Or most of them, I'm not sure yet) But you have to Review and tell me what you think I should do. I hope you like this chapter. It's longer than the other chapters, I know… sorry about that. I plan on doing stories or one-shots for James Sirius and Amelia and Albus Severus and Alice II. (I just love Alice and Albus! ^^ James and Amelia remind me of Lily and James a bit if you couldn't tell from their chapter) So here you go, the last chapter. I would like to thank my beta, pinkros14 for her help! Oh and thanks for all the awesome reviews guys!
Seventeen-year old Lily Luna Potter made her way out of the house. It was a full moon, and she knew that she wasn't allowed out of the house on the night of the full moon, but she just had to make sure that Teddy was okay. Besides, she was seventeen, she was of age, it's not like her parents could tell her what to do. (Even if she was still in school)
Lily made sure to wear a black, warm cloak. It was freezing outside, the snow under her feet made soft crunching noises as she walked in the forest not too far from her house.
She pulled out her wand, clenching it tightly in her hand. She didn't need to use Lumos, the full moon gave her enough light to see through the forest. It was quiet, save for the chattering of Lily's teeth and the crunching of the snow as she walked.
It was so quiet that it was almost eerie, like in the Muggle horror movies she saw with Rose, right before the killer/monster pops out of nowhere. She shivered, but not from the cold this time, but she gathered all of her Gryffindor courage and walked on. She had to make sure that Ted was alright.
It didn't take long before a shack came into few. Lily's hold on her wand became tighter as she made her way over to the shack. She was a few meters away from it when a howl came from within the shack. A howl of pain, but not physical pain (She heard those earlier, while she was in her room). It sounded sad a lonely to Lily's ears, almost like the werewolf had lost a friend or a lover. Nonetheless, it still made Lily stop in her tracks.
It's just Teddy, it's just Teddy. She told herself over and over again. He's just a big, hairy beast. He's taken his poison, it will be okay. With those thoughts in mind, the young redhead undid the many spells and charms on the door. She cracked opened the door, her heart pounding in her ears, and looked in. There in the corner sat a large, brown werewolf with gray spots. He looked up at Lily, his gray eyes looking into her green ones. Teddy's eyes.
Lily took a deep breath before shutting the door and redoing all the spells. She knew the were-no, Teddy, (He was still Teddy) could hear her heart beating. He just stared at her, not growling or anything. Lily took this as a good sign and made her way slowly to Teddy, her hand out in front of her. She knew that he was in his right mind, but her father always taught her to let a strange animal sniff her before getting to close to it. Once she was close enough to him, Teddy sniffed her hand a bit. His cold, wet nose caused Lily to shiver. Teddy seemed to understand that she wasn't shivering in fear. (They say animals can smell fear, after all. Lily didn't know how true this was) His eyes seemed to light up and his tail wagged. Lily giggled a little at that. He was acting more like a puppy then a werewolf.
"So you know who I am, Ted." Lily asked the wolf, who hadn't moved from his spot. His tail began to wag even more. Lily giggled again and sat down next to Teddy on the old floor. It was still cold in the shack, which caused Lily to shiver again. (Teddy had fur, why would they put a heating charm on the place if he could stay perfectly warm without it) Teddy seemed to notice this. He stood up on all fours and nuzzled Lily's shoulder. (He had the body of a wolf/human put together, of course)
"What are you doing, Teddy?" Lily asked him. Teddy whimpered a little and pushed her a bit, moving her towards the spot where he had been laying. Lily took the hint and lay there. Teddy settled down next to her, making sure she was warm. Lily smiled at that. "Always such a gentleman, Ted. Even when you're in this form." Teddy growled, but it was a playful growl. Lily snorted and rolled her eyes at the werewolf. "So scary," She cooed, before she yawned.
"I should be getting home, but…..as long as I'm home before Mum and Dad wake up, I'll be fine. Right Ted," Lily said as she cuddled into his soft fur. He smelled the same as he always did, like his aftershave, mint and something that was just Teddy, but muskier. Teddy gave a grunt type noise, as if he agreed with Lily. Lily knew that Teddy would give her a speech in the morning about doing stupid stuff like this, but she had a feeling that he was lonely. After spending so many full moons alone since he hit puberty. His father had the other Marauders for all of his Hogwarts years, but Teddy didn't have anyone to keep him company during the full moon. And He and Vic had just broken up a few days before…..
It wasn't long before Lily fell asleep. Teddy took a minute to smell her before he too went to sleep. She smelled of apples, cinnamon and roses. He loved that smell. It wasn't long before the werewolf fell asleep as well.
Lily woke up the next morning to the sun blinding her. She tried to go back to sleep, but then she noticed that there was someone sleeping next to her. Someone naked.
Lily looked over to see Teddy Lupin, in all his naked, sleeping glory. Lily's face became as red as her hair. Then the night before came into mind. Lily knew that she should wake him up. It didn't help that Lily had been in love with Teddy since she was five.
"Teddy, it's time to wake up," Lily said as she poked his face. She used to wake him up like this when she was younger. Teddy groaned, before opening his beautiful grey eyes.
"Lily…." He said her name as if it were a prayer, a stupid smile on his face. He took her face in his hands and pulled her down. "Lily…." He said again before her kissed her.
Lily was shocked at first, but began to kiss him back. It was a sweet, loving and passionate kiss. When they pulled away, Teddy said, "I'm going to wake up now, aren't I?" Lily looked at him as if he had gone mad.
"What do you mean?" Lily asked him. Teddy smiled at her. "I always wake up after I kiss you. It's just a dream. Always a dream, not matter how much I wish it were real." Lily didn't say anything. She was to shocked. Teddy liked her? Well why else would he dream of kissing her?
"It's not a dream, Ted. I'm real. And I know that once you realize that this is real, and then you're going to going into a speech about how I shouldn't be going out on a full moon and blah, blah, blah." Lily said. It took a minute for it to sink in. Once it did, Teddy looked down at himself, and blushed. His hair turned pink and red, and his blush should have rivaled a Weasley.
"Bloody Hell," yelled the young werewolf, he began to search for his wand, while covering himself up. Lily watched him do this for ten minutes before she said, "Accio Teddy's wand," It flew into her hands a second later. Lily handed Teddy his wand, both blushing like mad.
Teddy quickly clothed himself before saying, "Lily-" But the red head cut him off.
"I know, I know. You're going to yell at me and tell me that the kiss was a mistake, and that I shouldn't have left the house last night on a full moon. But I had to make sure you were alright, Teddy. And then I saw how lonely you were. You've been alone on everyone full moon since you hit puberty! At least your father had the other Marauders! I'm sorry that I left the safety of the house, but I couldn't stand the thought of you being out here by yourself. But I don't believe this kiss was a mistake, Ted. I've wanted to kiss you since I wa-" Teddy cut her off time, but it wasn't with words. It was with his lips.
Lily was surprised, to say the least, but she sighed happily into the kiss, wrapped her warms around his neck, stood on her tiptoes and kissed him back. (Why did she have to be so short!)
The kiss felt like fire and ice were running through her veins at the same time. It felt wonderful. It felt like the first kiss, but more intense. Teddy rubbed her sides as they kissed, he enjoyed the small sounds she was making. He bit her lip softly, asking for her to let him in. Lily did just that. Teddy explored every nook and cranny in her mouth. He couldn't believe he was kissing the woman of his dreams. Having her in his arms, kissing her, it all felt so right. Her lips fit perfectly with his, almost as if they were puzzle pieces.
Unfortunately, the need for air caused them to break apart, both panting for air. Once Teddy caught his breath, he said, "You're right, it was stupid to be running around in the woods on a full moon, you should've run into another werewolf, one that didn't take the poison." Lily hung her head in shame. "But," Teddy began, "I'm glad that you came. You're right, it does get lonely. And I don't regret that kiss at all." He took her face in his hands, his grey eyes looking into her green eyes. His was serious, because his hair was its natural color. "I've been in love with you for the last year, Lily. That's one of the reasons Victoire and I broke up. I couldn't be with her because I wasn't in love with her anymore, it just took me a bit to realize what I felt for you was indeed love. I love you, Lillian Luna Potter." He said. Lily had tears in her eyes, tears of happiness.
"Do you mean it?"
"Yes, with all my heart."
"I love you too." Lily said. Teddy smile and kissed her forehead, her right cheek, her left cheek, her nose and finally her lips. It was a soft, loving kiss that didn't last long.
Lily hugged Teddy, snuggling into his chest. They stood like that for awhile, just enjoying each other's presents, until a frantic knock came from outside.
"Ted! Open up!" Harry's called. Before Lily or Teddy could do anything, the door was kicked down and Harry, Albus, James, all the Weasley men, and Scorpius, came rushing in. "We can't find Lily…..What the Hell are you doing here!" Harry yelled once he caught sight of his daughter and Teddy. He could tell that the hug wasn't just a normal God brother God Sister, it was almost like a lover's embrace.
"Well, you see…." Teddy said, his hair turning pink and his face going red.
This was going to be awkward.
It's so fluffy! R&R
