Chapter 17: RoseTeddyVictoire

Coffee flavour: vanilla cinnamon

Extra prompts: half the sky, pebbles, crushed


Rose wasn't the first Weasley girl to have a crush on (and be crushed by) Teddy Lupin. She probably wouldn't be the last, either - Lily and Lucy and Roxanne were still young, still whole; for now at least.

It wasn't really his fault: he couldn't help being so devastatingly handsome, with hair vanilla-blonde one moment and cinnamon-brown the next. He didn't even intend to break their hearts; he would always be Victoire's , and they knew that.

Half of Rose, the sensible, reasonable, almost-Ravenclaw side of her, understood this; the other half wanted something more, a love story of grand proportions, and dreamed that it was possible. Every tap was him throwing pebbles at her window, every breath of wind his voice calling her name.

She knew, deep down, that nothing could ever happen; but she didn't want to give up on her love story just yet.


Yet another chapter title which I owe to Taylor Swift
