Blue Haired Love: A Teddy and Victoire Fic

Chapter Twelve

29th November, 2015; 1:43 p.m.

"Don't leave," Victoire whined. It was a lovely Sunday afternoon. The sky was a clear blue with fluffy clouds. Teddy was reclining under a tree with Victoire sitting on his lap. The weather was getting colder, so scarves were brought out and arms were wrapped tighter.

"Vics," he pecked the area under her earlobe, "if I don't see Longbottom today I'm gonna fail my bloody herbology exam tomorrow." Victoire's  hair was tied back in a high ponytail. Teddy took a strand and began to twirl it. "Not everyone is like you. Some of us actually need help to get good scores."

"I need help, Teddy."

"Hardly." Teddy let go of the strand of Victoire's ponytail. "Your hair is so soft."

"You say that every time you touch it."

"Because it's true." Teddy grabbed Victoire below the knees and scooped her up so her legs and his legs made a ninety-degree angle. "I won't be at Longbottom's for longer than two hours."

"Two hours?"

"Vics, he could have spent his afternoon doing other shit, but he agreed to help me out." Teddy kissed Victoire's forehead. "I'll see you right after I get out of there, yeah?"

Victoire shrugged."I'll get my coursework done."

"There you go."

VIctoire placed her head on Teddy's chest.

"I have to get up, Vics."

Victoire pouted, but eventually managed to step off Teddy's lap for him to get up. She stood up with him. "I'll see you later then," she kissed him lazily.

"Definitely." Teddy kissed her back. He slapped her arse as he walked away from her.

"Teddy!" Victoire looked around as she turned hot pink. Her eyes were twinkling.

Teddy smirked, "see you around four." He walked back into the castle towards Longbottom's office.

Teddy had grabbed her arse before. He did it fairly often, and Victoire didn't mind. There was infinite snogging, but arse-grabbing was the most sexual they had gotten. Teddy would often feel himself exploiting the situation, but it had been months since he has had sex with anyone. Touching Victoire's arse was a tiny relapse every time.

Liam and Dominique were right. Teddy had a problem, and he didn't want his addiction hovering over his entire relationship with Victoire. He needed to stop taking Victoire's arse for granted. He liked boobs better anyway, and Victoire did do well there-

Teddy pinched his wrist. His intrusive thoughts scared him. He didn't want this addiction- or whatever his fucked up relationship with sex was called- to affect Victoire. And it wasn't like he and Victoire didn't do anything. Half the time they were together was now spent snogging. They both snogged well and it was great fun, but Teddy didn't want to be all there was to him and Victoire. She was an amazing girl that he regretted ignoring all those years. Getting to know her over the past few months had been fantastic, and he couldn't afford to let himself get in the way.

Teddy got to Longbottom's office and knocked on the door. The faint noise of The Weird Sisters, a vintage wizard band, was coming from inside.

"It's open," Longbottom called.

Whether it was for help or to talk with his favourite teacher, Teddy always loved walking into Longbottom's office. The room wasn't too big, and there were no corners. Dark wood floors complimented white walls covered with scribbles by Noah; Longbottom's almost three-year-old son. Whenever he came to visit his dad at work, he was always allowed to draw on the walls. The drawings shared the wall with hundreds of exotic plants.
