Chapter 2: Strawberry-blond
Don't forget to review.
A lot of people may not find strawberry blond the most desirable hair colour, it may not be the one that they would choose if there were a metamorphmagus but the colour seemed to grace Teddy Lupin's head rather a lot, particularly when he was day dreaming, namely about a certain strawberry-blond haired part-veela.
Teddy was lying in bed thinking; well, fantasising being the more operative word; when the object of his fantasies came bursting into his room.
"Hey Teddy! Gran wanted me to let you know that it's supper in ten minutes. I hope you haven't been snacking, you know how she gets when you don't eat much."
"Yeah well, my birthday sweets are pretty much gone now anyway, I let James and Albus look at my presents earlier… never a good idea." They both laughed. Harry's sons could be trusted to do few things properly but behaving like locusts was something that they accomplished with little difficulty. Teddy rummaged in the pile on the end of his bed, near to where Victoire was sitting and found the last of his chocolate frogs. "Here, catch," he tossed her the sweet and she caught it neatly. She was the opposite of Teddy, having inherited her mother's effortless grace.
"Thanks, is it the last one?" He nodded. She broke off a piece and threw it. Her throwing skills were obviously not on par with her catching skills for the chocolate landed on his head, which he promptly shook to deposit it in his hand. He ate the chocolate, but seeing her still staring at his head raised an eyebrow. "What? Oh, sorry," she blushed becomingly; her cheeks tinged a pretty pink. "I was just thinking about your hair, you changed it when I came in. I liked it how it was before; I reckon people could mistake us for being brother and sister if you went around with it like that." Teddy sighed, turning it back to reddish-blond. The way he felt about her was far from brotherly but at least she'd noticed; although that might not be such a good thing - he didn't want her to go making the connection.
