Just by way of interest kiddies, bullying someone is bad, even if you have a crush on them, m'kay? If you like someone, tell them, or gouge your heart out with a spoon and tell it to stop feeling, whatever works for you. But don't bully people, cause that just makes you a mean bean.
Teddy's P.O.V.
There she goes, my menace. Y/n L/n. She's been making my life absolute hell since first year, and I didn't have a chance to do anything to deserve the way she acts towards me yet.
She's been ruthless. Trying to humiliate and embarrass me in front of as many people as possible with pranks. It's annoying. But fortunately, I don't get embarrassed easily. And if I want to embarrass myself, I don't need her help, I am perfectly capable of making a fool out of myself on my own.
Anyway, so I set up a prank with the help of George Weasley's son, Fred Weasley, to get the sweet sweet revenge on Y/n.
As I'm walking towards the Hufflepuff Common Room, the Slytherin girl in question stops me.
"Where are you off to in such a rush, Tedds?"
Tedds? That's an odd nickname, no one's ever given me that one I must say.
"Hufflepuff Common Room. I have some homework that's due tomorrow, and I don't want another detention for not doing homework," I say, without missing a beat.
Y/n pulls a face. "Since when do you do homework?"
Touché Y/n, touché.
"Well, as Head-boy, I thought I better start doing some homework to set a good example for the first years," I said, thinking that's going to get me out of whatever mess she's trying to put me in.
"Teddy, it's March. It's a little late for that," Y/n says, stepping closer to me. I have no idea why she's so close to me. God, she smells amazing-Teddy!
"Can I help you with something?" I ask, standing up straighter and squaring my shoulders.
"Mmm, no, I was just trying to talk to you," Y/n says, biting her lip slightly.
I blinked three times, trying to process her words. Her? Talk to me? Never!
"Oh well, in that case, goodbye, I have to go do my homework," I say, and step passed Y/n to go to the common room. I missed the fact that the hallway had started to fill with students. I didn't even notice them there.
As I approach the vats, I feel something is wrong. But I let it slide, and walk over to the vat containing vinegar, and as I'm about to tap it, the vat explodes, sending vinegar all over me.
Now, drenched head to toe in vinegar, I look up at all of the shocked faces around me. Everyone was waiting for me to react.
"Y/n," I say calmly. She steps through the crowd, a broad and proud smile on her face.
"Ten points from Slytherin," I say, and Y/n's face falls.
"What! It's just a prank Teddy! Lighten up!" She protests.
"In case you didn't notice, but now no Hufflepuff can get in or out of the Common Room, as the mechanism is broken. Which is called endangering the lives of students, which is six points. You also damaged school property, which is another four points. Test me further and I'll make it thirty house points," I say, and enter the kitchen. We need a new vat to fix the system.
"That's so unfair! You're abusing your power!" Y/n screams. I roll my eyes, and grab a vat of vinegar, and start pulling it towards the common room.
"Mister Lupin! What on Earth happened here?" McGonagal asked. I winced at the use of my surname.
"It was a prank Professor, I'm fixing it now," I said, and place the vat on the mechanism. I test the mechanism, and it works, freeing those trapped inside.
"Who's prank was it?" McGonagal asked.
"No one, Professor, I already deducted house points," I try to cover quickly. But she ignores me.
"Who pulled the prank?" She repeated.
A bunch of first years pointed at Y/n.
"Detention, both of you," McGonagal said.
"What? Why me?" I asked.
"You withheld information on who endangered the lives of the students. But don't worry, your detention will only be an hour," McGonagal says, and glides away.
"Now you've gone and done it Y/n. You've dragged me down your endless spiral of bad behavior. You happy now?" I ask, and push past Y/n to go to McGonagal's classroom, where our detention would be held.
Well, so much for my revenge prank. I won't even get to use it, cause now I have detention.
Y/n naturally shows up late to detention. McGonagal gave instructions to Y/n on what to do, and McGonagal left the classroom, enchanting it so that we can't leave before we have completed our tasks.
After a few moments, Y/n whispers "I'm sorry."
"For what?" I ask, my voice normal volume. It echoes off of the walls, closing us in.
"For pulling that prank. It wasn't fair to you. I'm sorry," Y/n apologizes, not even looking at me.
"Why do you do it?"
"Do what?" She asks, now looking at me.
"Try to take any possible chance you can get to humiliate me, or pull a prank on me, or something else."
"Can I be 100% honest with you? I like you Teddy, but I don't know how to get your attention. My parents give me attention when I misbehave, so that's where the idea came from, but I have no idea why I thought doing so would get your attention," she sums up. I feel like I might go into cardiac arrest or shock.
"Well, you got my attention, but not the kind that you wanted, I've gathered," I say. I sound much harsher than the words were meant.
"Well, I didn't know what else to do," Y/n fesses.
I sigh. "Look, you're cute. I think I could like you if I get to know you. So let's start over. 100% clean slate. Hi, stranger. My name is Teddy Lupin," I say, and Y/n smiles.
"Y/n L/n. What got a good looking guy like you in a dump like this?" She flirts. Smooth Y/n, I have to hand it to you.
"Oh yeah, well, long story, but this really smokin' girl got me in here because she pulled a prank."
Our conversation continued like this, till both of our detention times were up. We stayed even longer, till McGonagal came and removed the spell and forced us to leave. But needless to say, I prefer the Y/n that I got to know in detention over the ruthless prankster any day.
