The Fool, Upright - Teddy Lupin/Victorie Weasley
Victorie finds herself friendless, but the new and popular student decides to help her improve her social status.
***
Whenever Teddy used to visit the Weasley's he would listen to Victorie's midnight chats with her cousin from the room next door, and he developed feelings for her. When his band got famous he stopped coming around for visits, and the two didn't see each other for years. When he finally starts Hogwarts alongside her after years of being on tour, everyone fawns over him but her. He just wants past that thin wall he used to know her through, but the wall seems to have grown thicker over the years.

Excerpt:
"This is flirting." He mumbled and took an isolated lock of her hair, let it slide through his fingers and then pulled it behind her ear.
Surprise had replaced Victorie's sour expression, and all she wanted was to watch his enactment unfold before her.
With one hand still in his pocket, his other hand began tracing down her arm, and his gaze soon followed. "This is flirting."
His irritation had now been washed away and he smiled modestly. His fingertips against her skin almost made her shiver, but she fought the reaction.
Now his hand had found hers. He skimmed the tips of her fingers with his and lifted her hand. He brought their hands up until they were level with his chest. Only then did he interlace their fingers.
"This is flirting."
Their eyes met again and he moved even closer. "This is flirting." He whispered against her lips, barely audible. Their eyes fell shut and he graced her nose with his. Then he leaned back, and for a moment there was no touch. She felt her eyebrows furrow.
Her hand was let go of and she opened her eyes. But Teddy was no longer in front of her. He was walking backwards, smiling at her confidently. Then he stalked off and disappeared around the corner without another word.
Thanks for the enlightenment, she thought to herself with an eye-roll.
