A Suprise Visit (Teddy)

[Victoire Weasley]

Victoire Weasley sat in the Three Broomsticks, wating for Madam Rosmerta to bring her the Butterbeer she had ordered. She was alone, all her friends had gone off to Honeydukes Sweetshop. She sighed and looked at the empty chair across from her. Blowing a rather quiet rasberry out of boredom, she watched the woman come forward. Victoire smiled. "Thanks," she said.

"No problem m'dear..." Madam Rosmerta replied happily and returning to her place behind the bar.

Victoire opened the bottle and took a sip as the warmth filled her and she sighed once again. She took out a picture and looked fondly at it as its inhabitants laughed at the camera. It was her and Teddy.

[Teddy Lupin]

The day in work was pretty boring, today he was stuck with some ever boring paper work. Part of him just wanted to burn it, but his work was no place to do that.Besides, paper work needed to be done too, and he used to be in Ravenclaw. That would dishonor his very house, and he couldn't really stand something like that. And one more thing didn't fail to brighten his day, he was planning a surprise visit to see Victoire.

The second his work hours were done he was out of the ministry faster than you could say dungbombs. Teddy knew today was a Hogsmeade trip, and he planned to use that. For once it didn't involve sneaking into the school. But Hogsmeade was a free zone and everyone had a right to be there. Even a werewolf. Hopefully no annoying Slytherins would cross his path, he really disliked them for the remarks about his monthly problem when he was still in school.

Seeing Victoire's friends he recognized head for Honeydukes Sweetshop he smiled, that meant she was alone. Perfect. He didn't need more remarks. And she certainly either. Betting on the possibility she could be in the Three broomsticks he headed there and when entered really did spot her. A big grin, slightly wolfish seeming, spread on his face as he sneaked up behind her and covered her eyes. "Guess who." He said jokingly.

[Victoire Weasley]

Victoire's eyes were suddenly covered with hands as she couldn't see the picture anymore. She tried to turn around but was unable to. Hearing the voice behind her, she tried to figure out who it was. It took her five minutes to realize who, and when she did, she squealed as loudly, causing other patrons to look in the pair's direction. Victoire threw Teddy's hands of of her face and turned around to face him. "Teddy! What are you doing here?" she asked hugging him around the neck. But upon seeing the other people looking at them, Victoire blushed a deep pinkish red and said, "Oh sorry."

[Teddy Lupin]

When she squealed it made him smile, part of him still couldn't believe a girl like her would be interested in him. But he was ever so glad she was, he would do anything for her. When she hugged him he hugged her right back, enjoying the expression of how glad she was to see him. He was even more glad to see her though. "Thought I'd surprise you. I missed you." He said honestly, looking her in the eyes and ignoring the stares they might have get.

[Victoire Weasley]

"I missed you too..." she said, turning her attention back on him as the people looked away. She indicated the empty seat across from her. "Wanna sit down?" she asked. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at him. It had been a while since they had seen each other, and his Auror training was often in the way of that. She pushed her curled blond hair out of the way and her red face turned back to a pink color. She sat back down herself and took her butterbeer in her hand, and put the picture she had been looking at back in her pocket as the real thing just showed up.

[Teddy Lupin]

He nodded when she asked if he wanted to sit down, around her he could really act like a harmless little puppy, far from the wolf he really was. Sometimes he thought he could spend the whole day just by looking at her, being with her. Oh yea, he was totally in love with her. Watching her sit down he did the same, noticing the picture she put away.It was too bad his auror training often got in the way of being with her, but he really did like the job. It was the same thing his mother used to do, that felt nice. "So what have you been up to? Fill me in on what I've missed." He said with a smile.

[Victoire Weasley]

"Not much actually. It's just this whole thing with the Longbottom boy's death. It's been bothering Gabby a lot, along with my cousins... so, I'm just worried about them," she explained. Victoire smiled, "But I'm sure they'll be fine, still that event with the Ministry checking her wand has Gabs shaken up," she added. Thinking for more stuff to talk about, she just decided to talk about whatever. "N.E.W.T.s are okay and so is school. There really isn't a lot to do, and I'm not going back out for Quidditch this year. But nothing has been going on, just a lot of gossip and stuff."

[Teddy Lupin]

Teddy sighed when the Longbottom situation was brought up, that death was totally suspicious. He should know, he had a nose for suspicious. "I think there was something strange about his death. I don't like it at all. So if you notice anything suspicious at all, or if you'll feel like you are in danger let me know right away. Alright?" He said with concern, not really able to imagine what he'd do if something happened to Victoire. Probably tear to pieces whoever would just lay a finger on her in a bad way.

Smiling as she began the talk about N.E.W.T.s and quidditch he had to be curious why. But he brushed it off, whatever she wanted was just fine with him. "Oh. Well I hope you ace your exams. Were you, um, thinking yet where you'd like to work after school?" He asked, kinda hoping it would be somewhere close by. When she mentioned gossip he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Gossip should be illegal. I know what they said about me ya know, I have very good hearing. I was the wolf boy, the abomination, the 'oh is he eating raw meat' guy..." He said with a slight frown, not really liking when people made fun of something he wasn't responsible for. It were those kinds of comments and the ones about him and Victoire that got him and usually the other guy into the infirmary on many occasions. Sometimes the wolfish temper wasn't all that a good thing, and sadly Victoire wasn't always there to hold him down to earth. And out of people's faces.

[Victoire Weasley]

"Deal. I'll send you a letter if I hear anything, promise," she said, happy that Teddy was concerned about her, but she was a big girl. She took one more drink of her butterbeer before finishing it off all together. Her eyes blinked as she smiled, and she put the bottle off to the side of the table. "But don't worry, I'm fine," she reassured him. But sometimes with all that was going on, she thought she wouldn't be. Whoever murdered Frank Longbottom, what if they went after Gabby? She couldn't help thinking about it.

So she went on to Teddy's next question. She knew what she wanted to do after school, it was why she was taking all her N.E.W.T. classes. "Everybody says I'll ace them, but with all the work that's handed out, I'm amazed that I can keep up with it," she said, about the exams. "And as for after school, I'm becoming an Auror. That's why I have all the classes, silly!" She giggled slightly.

But her giggleing turned to a serious demeanor. "You shouldn't have listened to them... their stupid," she said, frowning. Why did people always have to take the comments said about them? Well Victiore did, sometimes, but not often. But she did hate it when people taunted her for dating Teddy. She was even criticized by some of the other parents of schoolmates drilling her that she should break up with 'that creature' and date one of their boys instead. "And your lucky that I like raw meat too, you forget, Gabby and I were brought up on it..." she joked about one of the insults that Teddy used to recieve. Her dad, Bill, was partially werewolf, so Victoire learned to like her meat rare enough to where it was almost raw.

[Teddy Lupin]

"A letter? No way, you'll contact me through the fireplace in the common room and I'll be there asap. No exceptions." Teddy replied, trying to make it sound like a joke. But in fact he was quite serious. Ever since the Longbottom boy's death, the school wasn't the safest place around anymore. And Teddy's biggest concern was to keep Victoire safe. That and not bite people. But number one was definitely Victoire. At her confirmation that she was fine for the time being he felt slightly relieved. But there was still something suspicious going on in that school.

As she moved on to the exams topic he chuckled, able to relate to her on that subject. He went through the tons of work the Professors dished out on them, but luckily for him he was good with learning. Well except history. Since Binns always managed to put him asleep and make even bloody slaughter sound boring. "I know what you mean. All the work that the Professors handed out to me is still fresh in my mind." But he was cut short by her statement that she was going to become an auror. At first he was slightly shocked, but then a huge smile spread on his face.

"You are? That's awesome! We'll be working together that way!" He exclaimed with excitement visible, stood up and despite them not being alone here, he hugged her.And to top it off he gave her a kiss. Pulling away seconds later he had the biggest grin on his face, one that he was amused to find how he was gonna ever get rid of. Being in such a good mood, he just brushed off the subject of him being taunted by others. "Yeah I know. Back then it did annoy me. But now I'm over it. I don't get nearly as into many fights about it." He joked, the good mood not leaving him.

[Victoire Weasley]

Victoire sighed and nodded in agreement. She hated Floo Powder, now that she could Apparate. Floo Powder was always so dirty and gross. She smiled. "Well, at least I know I'm well protected against whatever's out there." She loved having a guy to protect her, but Victoire loved being part of the action as well. She started twirling a piece of the shimmering hair and looked at him. She felt him kiss her and she smiled as it happened. When he pulled away her eyes twinkled. "Well, I did kinda need that..." she said blushing deeply.

[Teddy Lupin]

"Oh you know it. I'll always be there to protect you. I think anyone who'd even try to hurt you would wish they never woke up that day." He said completely seriously, not knowing just what was in the future. If he knew, he probably would be in way worse mood at the moment. As she commented the kiss, Teddy just smiled innocently. "I know you do. And I also know that one day I'm gonna kidnap you and run off with you far away." He added, having a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. It was hard to tell if he was serious on this one or not, but anyone who knew how he cared about her would contemplate the possibility of it.

[Victoire Weasley]

Victoire smiled and stopped twirling her hair. That would be the day that she would dream about. "I can't wait to get out of school then," returning a grin as she said her words. Victoire hoped it would be in her future to be with Teddy, no matter what anyone said or thought about them. She had learned to shrug off insults and stuff since they started going out. She could be with him, she knew it for a fact. Victoire knew that Teddy's parents were like them. His mum was normal, and his dad was a werewolf who didn't want harm to come to her. Her smile turned faint as she thought about Teddy doing the same exact thing.

[Teddy Lupin]

"I can't wait for you to get out of school either. I miss you too much." Teddy said quite honestly, feeling good just by being there and looking at her. Part of him contemplated painting her to capture just how great she was for all future generations. As silly as that sounded to him. But to be honest he kinda wanted to give her the world. He just couldn't afford the whole world just yet. But one day he sure hoped he could. Noticing the smile slightly faint, he raised a concerned eyebrow. "What is it? Anything wrong?"

[Victoire Weasley]

Victoire looked up suddenly as she hard the question. "No, just thinking about stuff, that's all," she said, hoping it would be dismissed, but probably not. She knew Teddy would bug her until she said it, but Victoire would try to resist for now, as she don't want to think about it anymore. "Girl stuff, so you don't wanna ask..." she said, throwing him off.
