He watched from the window as she danced gracefully around on the ice, reminding him of a muggle ballerina. Her long, bright red hair flew out around her, clashing greatly with the white snow and clear ice, and Teddy grinned.
She was beautiful, to say the least. But she was also still so young and he would never allow himself to get close to her like that. It would make him kind of like a pedophile, right? Seeing as he was about seven years older than her.
So instead of going outside and skating with her, he'd keep himself inside and he'd spin as many minutes as he could just watching her, ignoring how his body ached for her, secretly hoping one day she'd realize and be the one to chase after him.
But she never crosses that threshold and he's too scared to do it for her. So instead he just watches and tries to trick himself into believing he's perfectly content like that.
He's not.
