Coffee flavour: hazelnut cream

Teddy snuck up up behind her, making her jump so hard she smudged the pastel lines of her latest masterpiece.

"Teddy!" she shrieked. "Oh, look, you've ruined it!"

Teddy, who had just taken a large gulp of hot chocolate and cream, sprayed it everywhere and looked at Lucy angrily, a blob of cream on his nose.

"What do you mean, 'I ruined it'? You know you were going to smudge it anyway!"

"Well, yes," Lucy said, glaring at him mutinously. "But I wasn't going to smudge it like that!"

"Oh yeah?" Teddy moved towards her easel, a mischievious glint in his eye. "What about...like that?" He wiped a hand across the canvas, smudging even more of the picture. Lucy looked up at him, the corners of her mouth twitching.

"It is on, Lupin."

"Is it really?" Teddy asked, pulling Lucy towards him and snaking an arm around her waist. "Well let me warn you: I don't play fair, mini-Weasley."

"Do you indeed? And what's your definition of 'not fair', pray?"

"This," Teddy said, as he leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers.

Lucy pulled away, breathing hard. "You're right. That's not fair, Teddy Remus Lupin."

"Do you particularly object, my dear?"

"No comment."
