Wings For The Hopeless (Teddy Lupin love story)

Chapter One

"Ohhhh Meeee Gooood, Lily!" squealed a voice as the cart door opened. I looked up from my book and smiled timidly at my cousin Rose. She staggered in with at least 5 suit cases and her owl, Pippa. She dropped her bags and put her owl down before squeezing the life out of me. "R-rose cant b-breathe!" I stuttered while she squeezed me harder. "Oops! I forgot, gosh, you look sooo different Lilykins!" she squealed again before letting go of me. I was pretty sure I was purple in the face. I cautiously touched my hair and face, avoiding Roses stare. "Lily! I meant in a good way! finally you use the makeup I sent you this summer! and your hair is passed your shoulder blades!" said Rose turning my face to her. I let out a breath of relief before smiling at her. She sat down and made her self comfortable. 

I studied her, seeing if she also changed over the summer. Her traditional Weasley flame/orange hair was now curlier and longer, her ivory skin creamier and had more freckles on her face, her sky blue eyes brighter and also her body was a bit more curvier while 'her friends' were larger. The things puberty does for us. I internally sighed when I thought about how I looked.

I also inherited the Weasley hair, but it didn't suit me like it did for Rose. Hers was often sleek and in natural ringlets, while mine was always volumious and flying all over the place. While she got sky blue eyes, I got green ones from my dad. Not exactly like dad's emerald green ones which Albus (My second brother inherited) but more of a evergreen shade really, almost hazel, if only to look closely could you actually see they were green. I also got pale skin, but it had not as many freckles as Rose. And well, I was still shaped like a stick. God, I envied Rose, I really do, she didn't even have to try and she would still be gorgeous while I had to work hours before I could finally not want to scream at my appearence. Sometimes when I was alone I would look in a mirror and break it because I hated how I look, of course afterwards I would fix it with a simple spell and return to my simple life. Not.

"I have soooo much to tell you Lily! Oh oh oh! I met this super hot italian guy in Italy, although dad was like 'If you dare play funny with my daughter you wont live to see the daylight' except Emilio, thats his name was like 'Of course Mr. Weasley' gosh he was just so amazing! I just remembered, Teddy is going to be the DADA teacher for our 6th year, isn't that great?" she said jumping up and down rattling Pippa's cage which made her squawk.

I raised my eye brows in interest. "Really?" I said while looking at my nails. Teddy was dad's god son, since both his parents died in the Battle Of Hogwarts. I have to admit, I used to have a little crush on Teddy, even though there was a 10 year difference.

But it quickly sizzled out when I saw him snogging Victoire (My cousin) on the train station the year Albus went to start his first year. I remember so clearly, Victoire and Teddy together so close, their lips smashed against each other like there was no tommorow, I almost threw up from the pain. I was super jealous of Victoire, since she was so beautiful. Blonde hair and sky blue eyes like Rose's, since of course she was one eigth veela which she inherited from my aunt Fleur. But she was a cold as her icy blue eyes. Behind her smart perfect good girl image, she was a backstabbing fake bitch. I know its wrong to call my cousin a biscuit but its true, I just didnt know why he couldn't see that she was always cheating on him with some jerks. 

I dont know why I developed a crush on Teddy, but I felt I had a connection, you know? suddenly I had a flashback:

It was around 8pm in the Potter household and a specific 7 year old ginger headed girl was waiting for a specific someone by the door while tapping her foot impatiently and holding a little silver box. "Lily, are you coming, what are you waiting for? It's a surprise remember? Teddy and Victoire will come!" Hollered her mothers voice from the dining room, but the girl could tell the message behind her words 'You better come or there will be consequences when everybody will be gone'  Lily sighed and ignored her mothers words knowing what would happen when everybody would leave but still wished Teddy would come faster, not caring about her cousin Victoire. As if her wish was answered she could now hear two low voices speaking urgently, just about making snippets of their conversation.
