Victoire's POV:
I can see the gold tint of a tiny gold ball, hovering above Teddy's left ear. I urge my Striker towards it, and reach out my arm. The ball is in my hand! I got it! We won! Cheers erupt around the quidditch pitch. The scarlet and gold mass is screaming the loudest, while the green of Slytherian feels the most defeated. I raise the snitch into the air, and feel the roars of the crowd. I am happy in this moment, but know that soon I'll have to go study. My exams are in two weeks, and I have been cramming late night study sessions for months.
"Vic! What are you doing?" my best friend Jules asked. "Studying," I answered, absorbed in my potions book. She came over in her bra and underwear, ripping the book out of my hand. "Wrong answer silly. Your going to the party with us tonight. We've won against Slytherian every year, and you've never gone. Your the seeker for Merlin's sake! Come on Twa, please please please come!" I tried to snatch the book out of her hands, but was denied. "Jules, you know I need to study! I don't want to party all night, you know that." Maria, my other best friend came out of our tiny bathroom, "Teddy will be there," she said in her seductive voice. I could feel my face flush a bright red.
"It doesn't matter, he has a girlfriend," I pouted. I've had a crush on my best friend since forever, but never had the guts to tell him. And I probably never will. Teddy has a new girlfriend every other week, always a really hot brunette, with long legs. "Not any more. Word is that he broke up with Lexi, that Hufflepuff this morning. So he's back on the market," Maria told me, while looking for something to wear. "It doesn't matter. I'm a short blond, and practically his cousin! He would never go for me, not in a million years," I replied, taking my potions book back from Jules, who was holding a red dress with ruffles along the bottom. "He might not like you now, but once he sees you in this, you'll have him wrapped around your finger!" I sighed, and gave in to my friends, who got me all dolled up for the celebration party.
Teddy's POV:
"Danny, do you have a shirt I could wear?" I asked my roommate. "Why bother putting one on Teddy Bear, it's just going to be taken off by a girl," he answered, throwing me a blue shirt that I couldn't help but notice is the exact same shade as Vic's eyes. I've been in love with my best friend since I was twelve, when she got seriously hurt playing quidditch. I'm almost certain that she won't go out with me. I mean, I am practically her cousin. That's kind of a turn off.
I've tried to date other girls, but none of them give me that tingly feeling I get whenever Vic is around, so they don't last long. I usually stick to tall brunettes, the opposite of Vic. I will be able to find another girl to at this party, get drunk and hook up with her. Danny and Mark, my dorm mates are always teasing me about Vic. I start to hear noises as furniture is moved around below us in the common room. Hopefully to make a dance floor. The party is in our common room because we won, so we hold it. Caterwauling charms and muffliato are cast all around, and firewhiskey is sneaked from the kitchens.
"You know Teddy Bear, Vic hates parties, so chances are that she won't be there," Mark says, pulling a shirt over his head. I ignore this comment. "Right, and the chance that Vic will come is about the same as you getting together with Maria." "Not true, I talked to Maria today, and she said that she is coming and that she will save me a dance." I sigh, retiring by defense.
Victoire's POV:
Wow. That's the only word that I, Victoire Weasley, can think of when I look in the mirror. Jules and Maria have really outdone themselves. I guess anything is a step up from the Hogwarts uniform that I normally wear, usually with a ponytail and my Ray Ban glasses. I guess miracles really do happen. "Hey hottie ready to go?" Maria asks. Maria is wearing a black sequined dress that hugs her body. Jules dress is a tiered light blue and white dress. I nod, and the three of us walk out of our dormitory and down the stairs into the common room, where the party is already in full swing. I see Teddy and wave. Merlin he looks really hot.
Maria grabs my hand and drags me over to the boys. She has had a crush on Mark since forever, and promised that she would hang out with him tonight. Music is blasting, so it is really hard to hear anything. Thank goodness for muffliato, if you know what I mean. Good Girls Go Bad by the American group Cobra Starship comes on. Maria squeals and pulls Mark out onto the dance floor. A Ravenclaw comes over and asks Jules to dance, which she does. Teddy offers me his hand, and we go out onto the dance floor. It's kind of awkward, nor Teddy or I are talking.
"Want to get a drink?" Teddy leans down and whispers into my ear. I nod, and we head over to the makeshift bar, where Nate Jordon and Seamus Finnigan Jr. are serving different concoctions of firewhiskey. I don't know what to get, I've never had a drink before. Teddy starts to chat with Nate and Seamus, already holding a drink of some sort. Lexi, the Hufflepuff he broke up with this morning, is standing behind me, tapping her foot impatiently. I let her go ahead of me. She proceeds to kiss Teddy! Full on the lips! Right in front of me. "Teddy, we need to talk," she says, pulling him away. Teddy doesn't even look back.
I turn back to Nate and Seamus. "Can I have a bottle of firewhiskey?" I ask. Nate whistles, "Victoire Weasley, good girl gone bad." Seamus hands me the bottle. I uncork it, and take a swig. The taste is bitter, but I swallow it anyways. I thank the guys, and go back to the party. Lexi storms by me and out of the portrait hole, crying. Teddy is behind her. He grabs her arm, and swings her around. "Lex, it's not that I don't like you. I just don't think that we work well together," he says, looking her in her eyes. Lexi shakes him off, "Sure, but the real reason is her! It will never be about me, or any other girl. Merlin, Lupin, it's obvious, you love her! At least do the girl some good and acknowledge it. There she is right now," Lexi says through her tears. I realize that she had been looking at me the whole time.
I take another swig of firewhiskey. Lexi walks out of the common room. Teddy turns towards me. He's walking over here. More firewhiskey is consumed. He stops right in front of me. "Vic, don't drink that stuff! It's bad for you!" he tries to snatch the bottle from my hands. I pull it away from him, "Your not my father, my mother, or my Uncles, so why do you care?" I ask him, taking more sips of the drink. His hair starts to turn a dull shade of red. "Because, Vic, I, well, I don't really know how to say this, but I love you. More than anything in the whole world." My mouth falls open, and I drop the bottle of firewhiskey. It was empty, so it just shatters.
He turns away, muttering something that sounds like your an idiot, why did you tell her. I grab his arm, "Teddy, I love you too. Since the quidditch accident." He answers, "Me too. Funny isn't it, that we realize that we like each other and confess that we like each other under circumstances that have something to do with quidditch." I run my hand through his electric blue hair. He grabs my waist, and closes the small space between us with a kiss. I break off, smile, and take his hand. "Let's go back to our friends. They might start to worry."
We walk back into the party, where it is still in full swing. I see Maria and wave. Jules is nowhere to be seen. She runs over to me. "Vic! Where have you been? I have so much to tell you!" For the first time she notices Teddy. She raises her eyebrows at me, and I give her the answer to her unspoken question. "Ah! Okay, so I danced with Mark and then he asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes and Jules is off with some Hufflepuff doing who knows what but its okay, because it's just so great!" Teddy looks baffled at Maria's quickly spoken statement. I give her hug, letting go of Teddy's hand. "Vic! I want a hug too!" he says in a girly voice. I laugh and wrap my arms around my best friend for life's body, pressing his close to mine. Maria goes of to find Mark. "Want to go dance?" he asks. "Sure!" I answer, I wobbly follow him, a little tipsy from all the firewhiskey.
Teddy's POV:
Bloody hell. I dumped one girl, and moved on to the love of my life in less than twenty four hours. Whatever Vic's friends did to make her look like she does worked pretty well. She looked so damn hot. Either that or the firewhiskey was kicking in. Probably a little of both. I pulled Vic onto the dance floor. We danced long into the night, and well into the morning. The last song was announced and When You Say Nothing at All started to play. I got as close to Vic as physically possible, putting my hands on her tiny waist. She rested her head on my chest. I am a foot taller than her, but it's not awkward at all. The song ended. We stayed on the dance floor alone, swaying back and forth until I picked her up bridal style, and walked over to one of the huge armchairs. I put her on my left and stroked her hair until we both fell asleep.
