It's Time To Go

My Second Submission for Era #2 of the @cruelsummer-ficfest (had to get this one done because if the next eras are what I think they are based on the hints, I need to be READY!)

Song: It's Time To Go

Album: Evermore

Ship: Tedoire (lol, somehow I managed to throw Romione in there too because I can't help it)

When the words of a sister come back in whispers

That prove she was not in fact what she seemed

July

Sobs echo down the hall from Victoire’s room, where she lays curled up on her bed. It’s the same story every night since she found out the girl she thought was her friend was only using her to get closer to Teddy.

Victoire has no one to blame but herself for the pain. It’s all her fault. She invited Carla to join their study sessions. She introduced them. But Vic never divulged her silly crush to Carla. Because how can you tell someone that you’re falling in love with your best friend—who you’ve known your entire life—when you won’t even admit it to yourself?

There’s a soft knock on her door, but Vic’s not in the mood to talk. “Go away.”

The door opens anyway, only it’s not Maman or Dominique. It’s Aunt Hermione. Sitting up, she wipes the tears from her eyes and apologizes. “Oh, sorry! I didn’t realize it was you.”

Hermione offers a soft smile and closes the door. “No need to be sorry. Can I sit down?”

Vic nods and gestures toward her desk chair. She’s close to her aunt—most likely because of their shared love of knowledge—but not ‘sit on the bed for girl talk’ close.

“Now, I’m not trying to throw your sister under the bus, but she told your mum what’s going on, and your mum told me. They thought maybe I could help.”

Vic feels as though a bucket of ice has been poured over her. As if her former friend/dorm mate stealing her crush and best friend wasn’t bad enough, her sister divulges her deepest, darkest secret? Naturally, the only thing Vic thinks to do is lie about it.

“Whatever she said, it’s not true.”

Hermione chuckles. “She only said your dorm mate recently started dating Teddy and you feel as though you’ve lost your best friend.”

“Oh, well, yeah. That’s true.”

“I completely understand.”

Vic looks up with questioning eyes. Is she just saying she understands, or does she actually understand? “You do?”

“Don’t you pay attention when George and Ginny love to give your Uncle Ron a hard time?” Hermione says through a laugh. “Although, my dorm mate and I were never exactly friends when she decided to snog your uncle in the middle of the common room for everyone to see.”

The hesitation Vic had been feeling transforms to relief. “Did she know you fancied him when she did it, too?” Her hand claps over her mouth. She didn’t mean to give that away.

“Don’t worry. Your secret’s safe with me.” A knowing look crosses Hermione’s face, but is replaced with a hint of sadness as she reflects on her experience for Vic. “I thought I was obvious about my intentions—to Ron, at least—especially after I’d asked him to attend a party with me. But you can never assume the male species will pick up what you’re putting down. Lavender, however, I think knew even though we had never spoken about it, but chose to go for him anyway.”

Anger begins to simmer under Vic’s skin.. “Why do girls do this to each other? I don’t get it. Carla knows how close I am with Teddy. I thought she was just looking for study partners when she tagged along with us to the library. She wasn’t acting all flirty or anything at all! But then she went behind my back and invited him to the last Hogsmeade weekend without me. Teddy didn’t know. He thought I was joining them, so he told me they’d be at The Three Broomsticks. And when I walked in, I saw her snogging him in a booth. I haven’t spoken to either of them since.”

Another treacherous tear escapes her eyes, forging a path down her cheek before she wipes it off.

“Are you planning to give Teddy the silent treatment all summer?” Hermione asks.

Vic folds her arms over her chest, her sadness shifting into defiance. “I—well, I’m certainly not going to speak to him first.”

“Well,” Hermione replies with a sigh, “I suppose that isn’t a terrible idea, but what if it doesn’t work?”

Even though she says it’s not terrible, Vic doesn’t believe her aunt. She’s totally lying.

“Why wouldn’t it work? If he has the guts to snog Carla in the middle of the busiest pub in Hogsmeade, he should have the guts to at least tell me he’s dating my best friend.”

“Yes, but if he doesn’t know why you’re mad, you won’t receive the reaction you’re hoping for.” Hermione gets up from the chair and joins Vic on the edge of her bed. “Victoire, you and Teddy are close. Do not be like me and let someone else try to take that away from you. Even if he doesn’t feel the same way, it’s not worth losing his friendship over. If Ron hadn’t almost died, I can’t honestly say if we would have ever recovered from that.”

“But you did.”

“We did. And you can too—only much faster if you seek him out first. Sometimes giving up is the strong thing, or running out is the brave thing. But you have to decide if walking out is the one thing that will find you the right thing.”

Vic laughs. “You sound like a Sphinx.”

Hermione leans over and nudges Vic with her shoulder. “I know. Just know there’s always another way. You’re a smart young woman, Victoire Weasley. I know you’ll do what’s right for you. And you and Teddy will work your way through this. I just don’t want to see you hurt the way I was.”

“Thanks, Hermione.” Vic wraps her arms around her aunt’s torso.

She appreciates the conversation and having someone who knows what this kind of heartbreak is like. Maybe she can even allow herself to feel hopeful. Especially since Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione obviously figured it out in the end.

But even though she knows Hermione is probably right, Vic needs some time and space. So for now, she’ll choose to run. Even though it may ruin her summer, she’s not ready to face Teddy. At least not yet.

—

Or that moment again, he’s insisting that friends

Look at each other like that

August

“Ted?”

“Huh?”

Teddy had been pushing the food around his plate and staring off into space, not paying attention to the conversation around the dinner table. He was thinking about Victoire again. And he really shouldn’t be—at least not in that way—since he technically had a girlfriend.

Who you’ve avoided seeing all summer.

Ginny chuckles. “Harry asked you if you’re excited for seventh year. But if there’s something else you’d rather talk about, we’re all ears.”

“It’s fine, Gin. Don’t press him,” Harry covers for him.

“No, no, it’s fine.”

Shaking the haze from his mind, Teddy does his best to focus on Harry and Ginny. It’s the last time he’s going to see them until Christmas. The least he can do is engage in conversation. His meager teenaged concerns can wait.

“I—yeah—I can’t believe it’s my last year already. Can’t wait.” He tries to bite back a grimace, knowing that he’s trying too hard, and hopes to Merlin that his hair hasn’t shifted to a sandy brown.

But Lily only solidifies his fears when she points at him with wide eyes. “Ooooh, Teddy’s hair changed colors!”

Damnit.

“You know, I think I forgot to pack all the stuff we got at Diagon Alley today. I better go do that.”

He slides his chair back and leaves the table without being excused. It’s not like he’s that hungry anyway. Teddy bounds up the stairs two at a time, and shuts the door upon entering his small bedroom. After flopping on the bed, he covers his face with a pillow.

This was supposed to be the best summer yet. He and Vic had so many activities planned. She was going to take him to the sea, show him Shell Cottage. They were going to study together, vowing to get a head start on their work so it wouldn’t catch up with them during the term. Teddy was going to show her the ropes for Prefect duties—he was that certain she’d be named one. And with all that extra one-on-one time, he was hoping to finally decode her—to figure out if her heart beat just as fast when they’re together.

But then Carla snogged him and everything changed. He was trapped in a relationship with a girl he didn’t have feelings for and no way to get out of it.

And ever since Vic has been radio silent. Avoiding him at all costs. They stopped talking and studying together at the end of June, and Vic hasn’t owled him to follow through on any of their proposed summer plans. He thought maybe they could talk at one of the giant Weasley family gatherings, but Vic was always surrounded by Fleur, Dom, or her aunts.

A knock on his door tears him from his thoughts before Harry enters.

“Hey. Er, you sure everything’s alright?” His godfather runs a hand through his ever-messy black hair and leans against the back of the door.

“Yeah. I just don’t think I’m looking forward to the year as much as I thought I would be,” Teddy admits, his voice muffled by the pillow.

“Ah.” Harry pauses for a moment before continuing cautiously. “Does it have anything to do with Victoire?”

Throwing the pillow off his face, he sits up and offers Harry a bored, yet sheepish, look. “Is it that obvious?”

“It’s hard to miss.”

“I don’t know what I did wrong. Everything was fine before Carla and I started dating.”

Harry purses his lips and tries to hold back a snort, but fails. It comes out like choked laughter instead.

“What?” Teddy narrows his eyes in annoyance.

“Nothing. Nothing. You just remind me of—never mind.”

Teddy groans. “Seriously, Harry, this is not a Ron and Hermione scenario.”

He’s heard enough stories about the seven year lead up to their relationship and all the bumps they hit along the way. But that wasn’t him and Vic. They were just friends…until they weren’t?

Shit. We ARE Ron and Hermione 2.0.

Harry simply raises an eyebrow at him. “Ted, I know I may not be the best person to talk about this with, but trust me. Just because I don’t like to talk about these things does not mean I haven’t noticed. I’ve seen the way she looks at you. And the way you look at her.”

The urge to deny everything takes hold and Teddy shakes his head.

“You’re mental. We are just friends. Friends look at each other like that. Especially friends who’ve known each other their whole lives.”

It’s a weak argument, but his stubbornness gets the best of him. He’s not about to admit anything. Not when he’s fucked it up so badly by letting Carla in.

“Right.” “What?”

Harry shrugs. “Nothing. I can’t make you see what you don’t want to, but can you promise me one thing?”

Teddy watches Harry for a few moments. The man has never led Teddy astray before, so what has he got to lose? “I’ll try.”

“Talk to her. Figure things out. And don’t be as thick as Ron was.”

Teddy takes a moment to let the words sink in. He knows Harry isn’t saying it to make the holidays a little less tense. Harry just wants Teddy to be happy. He always has. And so, Teddy nods.

“I’ll try.”

Because losing Vic isn’t an option.

Before his mind begins to swirl with all the ways he can get his best friend back, Harry interrupts him once more before leaving. “Gin’s taking the kids to the Burrow in a bit. Want to join?”

“Think Vic’ll be there?”

“Maybe.”

“Okay. Yeah.”

Harry nods. With a single glance back, and perhaps a hint of a smile on his lips that Teddy can’t quite see, he says, “I’ll let you know when it’s time to go.”

Fate

Microfic May 2023. Prompt: Fate. character: Victoire

Victoire Weasley, was laying down by the pond at the Burrow in a relaxing silence.

That was until fate decided she didn’t need silence, instead Teddy dived into the water.

Before she could even mutter a shielding spell to protect her blonde hair.

She was drenched in cold water. “Teddy!”

*Teddy and Victoire come home after a long walk*

Teddy: Let's eat, shall we? I can make pasta or a salad.

Victoire: I'm so hungry that I'll have pasta with salad at the same time.

Teddy: Agreed.

*Teddy looks into the kitchen*

*Sees Remus and Tonks*

Remus, holding a cookbook: It says to add a teaspoon of sugar, Dora. TEASPOON. WHY DID YOU ADD A TABLESPOON OF SALT?

Tonks, trying to hit him on the forehead with the cook's ladle: Do I know where in your perfect order the sugar is and where the salt is? And how can you call it order if you can't find anything normally! You shouldn't have left me alone, you know I can't cook!

Remus, still looking at the book and already holding Tonks' hands to avoid getting kicked in the face: I only stepped away for a minute! For Merlin's sake, put that murder weapon down, Dora! Wait, that's the frying pan on fire - DORA!

Teddy, to Victoire: You know, I thought you said Fleur made croissants?

Day 13: Teddy

Thirteen Days of Christmas

Aaaaand that's a wrap! Thank you all for joining me on this fun, festive adventure. Here's the last of thirteen seasonal one-shots — one for each of the Weasley-Potter grandkids. Chapter artwork by the lovely, incredibly talented @thecatisdrawing.

It took Teddy a good five minutes to realize that the pounding racket in his head was not, in fact, his brain attempting to escape his skull. Rather, it was coming from outside the comfort and security of his closed eyeballs—from the front door of his flat, to be exact. By the time he had come to his senses enough to recognize the sound for what it was, his best friend Travis had begun adding to the din by banging on the wall that separated Teddy's bedroom from their flat's shared bathroom.

"Get the bloody door, Lupin, or I'll bring my hangover into your room!"

Normally, Teddy might have argued. But after seven years of friendship, Teddy knew not to take Travis's threats—or nausea-filled hangovers—lightly. With a long, loud groan, Teddy slowly dragged himself out of his quilts and began staggering down the flat's dark hallway, grumbling under his breath all the while.

"Fucking hell…Boxing Day…some of us like a lie-in…"

Running a hand through his disheveled green hair, Teddy pulled open the front door. His jaw dropped.

"Vic?" he gasped. "I—I thought you were in France!"

Read Chapter 13: This Christmas on AO3. Read from the beginning on AO3.

Am I to suffer this constant stream of interruption?

The quaint village of Hogsmeade was abuzz with the excitement of students from Hogwarts enjoying their first weekend visit of the fall term. Among the loud and cheerful crowd, a blue-haired wizard calmly leaned against a lamppost, watching two teenagers try to sneak bottles of butterbeer out of the pub.

Or at least he hoped he looked calm. Teddy Lupin was surprised at how sweaty his palms felt and how fast his heart was racing. It shouldn't be that big of a deal to be standing in Hogsmeade. He was no longer a student, having worked as a legislative aid for the newly reformed Werewolf Affairs and Support Office (formally the Werewolf Registration Office) for over a year. He was allowed to be in the village whenever he wanted. And while this visit had been marked on his calendar for several weeks it really shouldn't be that big of a deal. Except today was actually in fact a big deal. A Very big deal.

Teddy Lupin had planned this visit with Victoire Weasley since September. It was their first official outing as a couple. And while he had known Vic her whole life the thought of actually being an official couple still made his heart jump and his head swirl in a whirlpool of incoherent thoughts.

And really what was there to be nervous about? The kiss at Platform 9 3/4 proved that the romantic feelings were mutual. She had flashed her sweet smile and said, "I love you too, and not in a cousin-sort-of-family-way either" while she boarded the train and his heart had swelled in size. And on top of that their near-daily letters full of flirtations, gossip, advice, and thoughts he'd only dare share with here were enough proof that the relationship was real. This wasn't a dream.

No, really he shouldn't be nervous.

He just wanted this day to be perfect. For her. Because she was perfect. And they had both been waiting for this day for far too long.

As Teddy scanned the high street of Hogsmeade once more, he couldn't help but smile at the sight of Victoire running toward him. Her blonde hair whipped around her in the autumn wind. She was radiant. Just as he was about to take in the cool pool blue of her eyes he was knocked back into the lamppost as she wrapped around him in a big hug. Their laughter mingled together as he leaned in to kiss her lips in a proper greeting.

"Hi." She breathed, their faces still close together. His hands now placed on her slender waist.

"Hi." He smiled back.

"Did you wait long?"

"Yes, it's been months of waiting."

"You exaggerate. It's only been weeks."

Teddy looked down at her laughing face and wondered if he should counter with his real thoughts of how waiting months, weeks, or even days without her was too much. Maybe she should drop out of school right now and they live as bohemians across the continent. He thought the better of it though and simply grabbed her hand and led her inside to the Three Broomsticks.

Vic found a small table in a corner of the pub while Teddy went to get the drinks.

"So, how's the castle? Did you get those Celtic ruin translations finished?" Teddy asked as he returned with the two butterbeers.

"Oh, it got finished. Not sure any of it was correct though." Vic accepted the bottle and after a beat gave Teddy an incredulous look, "You know, I don't really understand the point of having an older boyfriend if you can't help me with my homework. I can't believe you took a completely different set of NEWT courses than me."

Teddy took a long sip of his butterbeer before replying "My apologies, should I give you Titus Whinchley's floo address? I'm pretty sure he got O's in Ancient Ruins and Arithmancy."

"Oh Merlin, don't even joke about doing that. Titus Whinchley is more boring than Binn's lecture on goblin uprisings."

"And you already have a boyfriend, of course."

"Oh yes, that too."

Teddy and Vic both leaned into each other when - "Oi! Teddy!"

A blur of dark hair ran into view and dropped himself into the empty chair at their table. "You didn't tell me you were visiting today! Can you get me a firewhiskey?"

"No, James" Teddy stated firmly and gave James Potter a pointed look. "Get lost."

"What? No! Come on! Haven't you missed me?" James leaned back in his chair and propped his feet onto the round wooden table.

"Ew, James get your muddy boots off the table! That's so rude!" Victoire exclaimed as she kicked the chair from underneath her cousin and he tumbled onto the hard floor.

"I'm just being friendly," James said as he stood up and rubbed his bottom. " Are you two going to be one of those gross couples that just snog all the time and call each other the most sicking nicknames?"

Teddy rolled his head back and stared at the ceiling, wondering what misdeed he did in a past life to be cursed with James Potter's existence. "Only when we're around you."

James gave out a snort in disgust and bounded away out the door.

"He misses you, you know," Vic said as she took a sip of her drink. "Or at least he did last year. He was pretty down without you around. I overheard him talking to Professor Longbottom about how school seemed pointless without his best friend."

"I'm his older brother, not his best friend."

Vic looked up at Teddy with a smirk on her face as he took another sip of butterbeer. "I don't think he sees the difference."

Teddy disguised his choke as a cough.

After they had warmed themselves with drinks and each other's company they ventured to Honeydukes where Teddy and Victoire indulged in an assortment of sweets. Vic insisted she needed more sustenance for studying. "You can't get through NEWTS without sugar quills, everyone knows that." Teddy never needed an excuse to buy more chocolates.

As they strolled the aisles, James Potter materialized out of thin air, and Teddy caught sight of a familiar shimmery silver material that James was wading up and placing in his school bag.

"What are you doing with the cloak?" Teddy asked shaking his head in disbelief.

"Dad gave it to me."

"I know, but what are you doing with it in Honeydukes? You're not shoplifting are you? I'll buy you anything you want."

"Nah, I was just waiting for Fred. I've been trying to get the jump on him all day. He pushed me into the lake yesterday, you know."

Teddy ran his hand through his hair which changed from his normal bright blue to duller yellow. "Just don't cause trouble OK? I'm here to hang out with Vic, not babysit you."

"Do you have the map?"

"No, why would I carry around a map of a school I don't go to anymore."

"I know Dad gave it to you."

"Yeah, because my dad made it."

"So did my grandfather. You should give it to me. Don't even think about giving it to Al. He won't do anything fun with it."

"I gave it back to Harry after I graduated."

"Why would you do a thing like that?"

"As I said earlier, I don't need a map for a school I no longer attend. I'm sure Harry will give it to you eventually."

"Why won't he give it to me now?"

"He doesn't trust you."

"Why didn't you give it to me then?"

"I don't trust you either."

"Oi, Vic, your boyfriend is boring" James turned to Victoire. Victoire just rolled her eyes and pushed James out of the way.

"Come on, Teddy let's make our purchases and leave. I need to go to the bookstore." Vic swished her hair over her shoulder and marched toward the cashier. Teddy gave James a parting pat on the back and followed Vic to the front of the shop.

At the bookstore, Victoire looked for a present for her sister Dominque while Teddy looked over a selection of ink wells. "She loves all those cheesy romance books but I think it's time to refine her palate. Maybe The Alchemist's Daughter's Diary?

"Isn't that also a cheesy romance novel?"

"Oh Ted, you know nothing of the classics."

As Teddy rounded the corner of shelves he walked straight into another shopper causing him to drop ink down the front of his robes..

"Hey, Teddy, when you and Vic have kids will I be their uncle or cousin?"

Teddy looked widely around the store. "Are you doing this on purpose?"

"What running into you everywhere you go?" James asked innocently, "Nah, it's just a small village and there isn't much to do."

"Don't you have friends to hang out with?"

"Archie is in detention and Ellie is helping her dad in the greenhouse. Splinter is trying to flirt with Peggy and it is decidedly too painful to watch. But for real: Am I an uncle or a cousin?"

"You have a friend named Splinter?"

"You're ignoring the question. Uncle or Cousin?"

"You're nothing. What are you talking about?" Teddy grabbed James' should and steered him in the direction of the door as Vic purchased two books for her sister. "This is literally my first date with Vic and we are teenagers. We aren't even close to talking about kids. At this point, I'm lucky if we'll make it to Christmas at the pace you keep disrupting our time together."

"Ah, she's used to me." James shrugged off Teddy's hand and turned to face him. "Are you coming to my match next week?"

"Of course I am, I told you so in my last letter."

"Good, it's my first ever match on a real team. I want to make sure you see me win. "

Teddy was never sure if James' confidence was an act to rile people up or if he was genuinely that sure of himself. Teddy advised James to go back to school soon before curfew and joined Vic at the register and to pay for the ink that he had spilled.

"Do you think that kid has ever had a thought he didn't immediately have to shout out loud?" Teddy asked Vic while they watched James skip up the street and tackle his cousin Fred, he was distracted with the latest Firebolt 300 in the window of the quidditch shop to notice James, into a bale of hay.

"Maman says Auntie Ginny needs to reteach him proper conversation techniques."

"I don't think the Potters believe in your mother's standard of etiquette."

Vic just shrugged and continued to lead Teddy up the street until they reached the path past the train station that led back to the castle. But just as their lips were about to meet in a sweet farewell, a familiar voice rang out.

"Teddy! Victoire! I -" Teddy swished his wand and James froze on the spot.

"I'll unfreeze him on my way out," Teddy told Victoire as he tightened his grip around her waist. "I didn't want him to ruin our goodbye again"

"You know" Vic whispered as their noses started to touch. "As head girl, I can ensure that he is in detention next Hogsmeade visit."

Teddy chuckled as their lips met. "Great, I'm sure he'll do something to deserve it."

And just like their parting in September as he kissed Vic deeply her warm soft touch made his skin tingle and his hair turn bright pink with happiness.

"Still thinking about calling Titus Whinchley?

"Shut it"

"Love you."

"Love you, too."

Hello, I've lived reading your Teddy/Victoire fics and since you said on your profile that you're happy to take request I'd like to ask for one, perhaps a sad breakup one of them? That more heartbreaking and gut wrenching the better lol

Christmas

“Oh!” Victoire whispered. “You’re down here.”

Teddy jumped, looking away from the fireplace to where Victoire stood at the bottom of the stairs. She was in her pyjamas, with thick, fuzzy socks knitted by Grandma Molly pooling around her ankles, but Teddy, she noticed, was still in the clothes he’d arrived in that evening. The Christmas tree stood in the corner, topped with a golden gnome and twinkling with candlelight.

“What is it?” Teddy said, sounding more tired than Victoire had ever heard before.

“I just wanted to talk to you.” Victoire sat beside him on the couch, her leg pressed against his. Teddy nodded, his eyes moving back to the flickering fireplace. His hair was dull, she noticed, like the colour had been washed out.

He seemed upset that evening - he hadn’t talked to anyone much, except when he and Harry had gone for a long walk after dinner. So long, in fact, that almost everyone had gone to bed before they’d returned. Victoire had waited up for him the entire time, eager to get him alone. It was the first time she’d seen him since last summer, and she was desperate to spend any time with him she could while on break.

“I’m just going to say it.” Victoire took a deep breath. “I think I’m in love with you. I haven’t stopped thinking about you, being at school without you is awful, I feel like I’ve lost something all the time. I know you think I’m too young, but I’ll be seventeen in May, it’s not that far, really, and I just- I had to tell you.”

Teddy didn’t say anything. He closed his eyes, his jaw clenched, and he moved his leg away so it wasn’t pressing against hers anymore. Victoire felt sick suddenly, she’d been so sure he felt the same way, with how he was the year before - he’d looked after her, helped her study, walked her to class. Even the few letters they had exchanged since he’d finished school seemed different, flirty maybe, like there was something more there.

She’d sat for hours upstairs that evening, whispering to Dominique if she should really come down and say something, if she should go find him in the house and confess her feelings - ones she’d had for years.

“Teddy?” She said quietly, touching his shoulder. He shrugged her off and rubbed his eyes aggressively.

“Vic-” Teddy said, and Victoire flinched. He sounded frustrated, like he did when James took his wand. He’d never talked to her like that before. “Why have you said that?”

“Because I have feelings for you-”

“This just complicates things, don’t you see?” He said, standing. Victoire stared up at him, her eyes wide. Her hands shook as she played with the hem of her pyjama top.

“But-”

“It doesn’t matter if you think you have some schoolgirl crush on me. I could lose everything, all of this.” Teddy said, gesturing around him. Victoire’s cheeks started to burn, she felt like she was being scolded for something she didn’t know was wrong.

“What would you lose?” She whispered as her chest clenched painfully.

“You have a family!” Teddy hissed as he tried to keep his voice down. “You have a family here who loves you, who takes care of you. I don’t have that. My parents are dead, Victoire. I haven’t got anyone.”

Victoire felt sick, her stomach turned as he spoke. She blinked back tears and wiped at her eyes, trying desperately not to look like he hadn’t just crushed her, that she hadn’t ruined everything. Teddy paced back and forth in front of her, tugging at his hair.

“Teddy, you have me!” Victoire felt a tear roll down her cheek, feeling so, so childish all of a sudden. “We are your family.”

“They don’t have to do this, you know? No one said they had to look after me. They’re not under an unbreakable vow,” Teddy took a deep breath. “If I took advantage of that, of you-”

“It’s not taking advantage, can’t you see? I love you.” Victoire pleaded.

Teddy shook his head, his hair was streaked with grey. “If I ever did anything to hurt you you don’t think they’d look at me differently? Your dad? Your uncles?”

“You wouldn’t!” Vic cried.

Teddy laughed coldly. “Don’t be stupid. I’m hurting you right now.”

Victoire let out a choked sob. “But it’s Christmas-”

“Yeah, it’s bloody Christmas. And tomorrow morning you’ll wake up to your siblings and mum and dad and have breakfast, and open presents and my parents will still be dead.” Teddy said, and walked away, slamming the front door to the Burrow as he did.

Long Live

Nothing like sliding my second entry for @cruelsummer-ficfest in at the last moment!

I was feeling inspired to write some Tedoire for a second. Enjoy!

I said ‘remember this moment’ in the back of my mind.

One minute you’re playing in the garden, sneaking through the tall grass to fight imaginary dragons, and the next, you’re sitting in that same garden, staring up at the stars and wondering how you got from there to now.

At least that’s how Victoire feels. Sometimes she wishes she could go back to those simpler days when hanging out with Teddy was innocent, and not coupled with any annoying ‘feelings.’ A time when she didn’t have to worry about sharing her best friend (and subsequent secret crush) with his group of Hogwarts friends or the girls who fawned over him and his ‘coolness’ factor.

Not that she’d have to worry about that anymore. Now, she’ll be the one stuck at Hogwarts while he starts training to be a Healer at St. Mungo’s, and who knows who he’ll meet next. And as for Vic? Well, she’ll continue to be the kid best friend who’s always there to confide in, but never anything more.

It was the end of a decade but the start of an age.

She still remembers when everything changed: 1 September 2009. The day Teddy stepped on the Hogwarts Express and left her on the platform. It wasn’t his fault, she knows that now. It was a simple part of growing up. But little did he know she sobbed when she got home after putting on a brave face to see him off. She was so afraid that things would change.

And it did; sort of. Teddy would come home over the holidays and talk her ear off with all of his stories, and Vic would smile and nod, trying to pretend she was there too, but it was no use. It seemed like they were worlds apart and now that Teddy had found new friends, Vic wasn’t important anymore.

May these memories break our fall.

But then she started at Hogwarts too and made her own friends, which helped a little. She and Teddy would study together in the library, eat meals together, and sometimes they’d even spend a day in Hogsmeade in each other’s company (when she was old enough, of course). Those were the days she’d lived for.

Flash forward to this past year, when Teddy was Head Boy and she was a Prefect. Sometimes he’d schedule their rounds together, and those were the moments she realized she was falling head over heels for her best friend.

It was completely irrational. They’d grown up together. They’ve known each other since she was born. Teddy was practically family. But when he’d flash his bright, wide smile and run his hands through his turquoise hair, making it messier than ever, Vic’s heart would beat a little faster and pixies would run rampant in her stomach.

On those rare nights where they’d patrol the halls together, they’d walk so close together that their shoulders would bump and knuckles would brush, but Teddy always played it cool. So, Vic assumed they were on accident. Because why would a seventh-year be interested in a fifth-year who he’s known all his life? Of course, that’s what Vic firmly believed until Teddy caught her by surprise, asking her if she wanted to attend the end of the year ball with him.

Her response had been a bit brash, and she’d even snorted. “You’re joking!” The words still ring with embarrassment in her ears. But the look on his face was serious and the excitement of it all sent her mind spinning.

Maybe it was petty of her, but she couldn’t help feeling smug when all the sixth and seventh years shot her dirty looks as she and Teddy danced the night away—their last hurrah before he moved on and left her behind again. It was the best night of her life. Even better than the imagery she’d cooked up from photographs and the adults reminiscing about her and Teddy dancing at Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione’s wedding. Which may have been weird since they were only three and five at the time.

Of all the years we stood on the sidelines wishing for right now.

But then the craziest thing happened after the ball. They went on a walk through the castle, much later than they probably should have been out, but Vic didn’t care. Teddy wanted to spend time with her, and she wasn’t about to let the rules get in the way.

They meandered through the halls, talking about anything and everything, until they finally reached their parting point—the top of the grand staircase leading to the Great Hall. It was where they’d always leave each other so Vic could return to the Ravenclaw common room and Teddy to Hufflepuff.

“I had the time of my life tonight, Vic. Thank you.” Teddy’s words still echo through her ears as she plays the memory back in her mind for the millionth time.

“Me too.”

And then, without a moment’s notice, Teddy leaned in and kissed her. On the lips. It wasn’t like he was aiming for her cheek but she turned her head and their lips met instead. It was intentional.

Vic couldn’t believe it, and she wanted nothing more than to kiss him again until it turned into a full-on snog, but he pulled away just as quickly.

“Well, goodnight then.”

And then he was gone, leaving her to wonder what it all meant.

She’s still wondering what it all means. Teddy’s barely been around all summer. His internship at St. Mungo’s has kept him busy and it’s like fate keeps preventing their paths from crossing.

Everything is so confusing. She doesn’t know where she stands anymore. And worst of all, she misses her best friend. Too bad things are only going to get worse tomorrow.

Because tomorrow, Vic returns to Hogwarts. She’ll be stuck roaming the halls by herself, and every day she’ll have to pass the damn spot where Teddy Lupin kissed her and then left her hanging.

Which is why she did the unthinkable earlier today. She sent him an owl with a letter that all but spilled her guts to him. Of course, she told him how happy she is that he’s following his dreams, but that she misses him and hates how they haven’t seen each other at all this summer.

And with her honesty on a roll, she admitted how she feels. How she’s had feelings for him for the better part of a year and that their kiss at the top of the stairs was the best of her life and how she wants to kiss him again. But despite it all, she doesn’t want this to make things awkward for them because he’s still her best friend, and he always will be.

Maybe it was a mistake—sending the letter. But it’s too late now, and at least she allowed herself to be honest with him.

♥

The next day at the train station is chaotic. Trolleys fill the platform with families crowded around them. Smoke billows from the engine making it hard to see five feet in front of herself.

For Vic, it’s just another dropoff. She’s done this five times before. But for the rest of her family, it’s special. Her cousins Albus and Rose are boarding the train for the first time. So, she’s said her goodbyes to her parents so they can be part of the farewell party for the first years.

But something stops her from boarding the train. Instead, she leans against one of the brick columns, watching the rest of her family from afar when there’s a tap on her shoulder. When she turns to see which of her friends is greeting her, she gasps when she sees her turquoise-haired best friend clad in lime green Healer’s robes.

“Teddy?”

Clutching a stitch in his side, he catches his breath. “I—I got your letter.”

“Oh.” Her cheeks heat up in embarrassment and she stares at the ground. “Sorry, I don’t know what I was think—”

But he cuts her off as he pulls her close and captures her lips with his. Her eyes flutter shut as she drinks in his confidence this time. He’s not as shy as a few months ago, and the thought makes her eager to kiss him back.

Though one question dangles in the back of her mind. Why now? Did he really waste a whole summer avoiding me when we could have been doing this? Pushing the negativity from her mind, she relishes the softness of his lips against hers and how his breath tastes of Peppermint Toads.

The train whistle blows its warning call and Teddy pulls away reluctantly. “I’m sorry I avoided you all summer. I thought—I don’t know, I thought you weren’t interested or it was weird and I—well—”

Another short piercing sound cuts through the air and the smoke begins to increase. She doesn’t have much time.

“Well?” she says with a smirk.

“Be my girlfriend? I’ll write to you all the time and do my best to get Hogsmeade weekends off so I can see you and—”

She cuts him off with one final kiss before taking a few strides across the platform and stepping onto the train. As he stands there with a dumbfounded look on his face, Vic grins. As the train slowly begins to pull out of the station, she winks at him and gives her response.

“I thought you’d never ask.”

Will you take a moment? Promise me this: that you’ll stand by me forever.
