Under the Stars

Chapter one

I've been obsessed with this ship ever since I saw this fanart of it and I wanted to try out a fanfic! So here's my jeddy. I'm really excited to try this out, it's not a popular ship or anything, but it's cute. Okay. In here, James, Scorpius and  Fred are sixth years, Teddy and Victoire are seventh years. I changed Teddy's age because I feel like it would be a bit weird to have him dating James when he's like five years older than him and I couldn't write a plot with him being that age because I couldn't really add the romance and it turned into  bromance and it was terrible so I made him 17 here while James is 16. Anyways, enjoy!

No matter how many times he tried to ignore it, nothing hurt James more than the words that came out of Teddy Lupin's mouth. Everyone was gathered at the Burrow, celebrating James's father's birthday. It was the summer before James's sixth year. James had been enjoying himself so far. His father seemed happy, they were surrounded by friends and family. Most of the adults were smashed out of their minds, the only one not were Harry himself, Hermione, Molly and Arthur, Percy, Fleur, and Draco Malfoy. The kids were milling around, speaking with both the piss drunk adults and the sober ones, or chatting with friends. That is, until Victoire Weasley and Teddy Lupin decide to start snogging in the middle of it all. James felt his stomach drop. He vaguely heard everyone congratulating the new couple, but what made James want to cry, was Teddy's loud voice.
"I finally snagged the beautiful Victoire!" And the sound of another kiss. James got up shakily, walking to his father and whispered that he felt sick. His father nodded to him, his eyes filled with concern, and told him to go lie down. James wasn't sure exactly why he felt like this. Maybe it was because Teddy, his best mate, didn't mention to him that he had a girlfriend. Or maybe James was worried teddy would replace him with Victoire. He didn't know. Abut his stomach felt about to drop out of his arse and his throat was closed up. It was strange to see Teddy with a girl. Teddy, who had shunned the idea of dating, who seemed almost repulsed by it for four years, was dating a half veela. Why hadn't he told James first? Why not say anything? James sat on his bed, staring at Teddy's bed across the room. He wasn't sure why he felt like this but he felt like shit. James lay down on his bed, his arm over his forehead and stared at the ceiling. How long had they been dating? How long was it a secret? James felt that he didn't really want to know. He closed his eyes, visions of Teddy, Teddy and Victoire, and more Teddy swam behind his eyelids. James sat there for a long time, trying to push Victoire out of his head and focusing on Teddy without even realising he was doing so. He was snapped out of his thoughts by the door slamming open and Teddy sauntered in, his face in a look of pure ecstasy. James swallowed hard. Teddy looked over at James, smiling broadly.
"Hey Jaime! Did you hear the announcement?" He smiled wider.
James swallowed again and nodded slowly. Teddy didn't seem to notice anything wrong, maybe because they were in the dark, but James was grateful.
"So?"
James tried to speak, but there was a lump in his throat. He cleared his throat and tried to force a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Ted. I hope you're happy with Vic." He forced through his teeth. Teddy grinned happily.
"I am! She's such an amazing girlfriend and she's so beautiful and such a great kisser and..." James stopped listening to Teddy's babbling after that. It hurt his chest for some reason.
"Ted? I'm really tired. I'm gonna sleep. Goodnight." James was lying through his teeth but he wanted Teddy to shut up about how amazing Victoire was.
"Okay. Night, Jaime. Sleep well. See ya in the morning." Teddy shuffled around for a bit before laying on his bed.
James turned on his side, his back to Teddy, and silently sighed. What is this feeling? He closed his eyes, falling asleep with thoughts buzzing around his head.
