Harry Potter Oneshots

• Teddy Lupin • Opposites Attract •

Teddy Lupin was everything you weren't. He was loud, funny, popular, a fucking metagamorphus and was absolutely amazing. All of his friends were loyal to each other - unlike yours.

~flashback~
You looked up from your breakfast at your friends.
"Hey, what do you guys think of another Movie Night on Friday? We can watch Forrest Gump aaaaand... The Breakfast Club, maybe? Or! The Curious Case of-"
"Look, Y/N. That sounds great, but we have... homework!" your friend, Eliza cut you off.
"O-ok," you went back to your breakfast.

~•~Friday~•~
You walk past an empty classroom. You hear the whirring of a VHS and giggling. You open the door a crack.
"Momma always said, Life is like a box of chocolates, ya never know whatcha gonna get!"
Forrest Gump.
You looked to the audience which consisted of
Eliza
Sadi
Elle
and Bex.
Your 'best' friends.

You fled the scene, tears running down your cheeks.

You snapped out of your trance. You tucked a stray strand of hair away from your face and behind your ear. You looked up from your book and out across the courtyard. You had taken refuge on the bench beside the fountain for your lunch hour. Your eyes scanned the grassy area. You could see your ex-friends, giggling about something in a book; small groups of people; Hagrid tending to his pumpkins; and lastly, Teddy and all of his friends: Tristan, Cody & Caleb (the Smith Twins), Maxwell, Dan and Asher. They were yelling and being 'Typical Boys'. You went back to your book.

Another ten minutes passed when a paper ball hit your head. Annoyed, you look up and see Teddy and his group staring at you and laughing. You look down at the paper and pick it up. Unfolding it, you glance at the boys warily. Blank. You flip it over. Blank. You smooth it out and write fuck you, boys.

Five minutes. The paper lands in your lap. Under your note reads Ooh, feisty! Teddy x
Sighing, you write back What do you want?

Five minutes. Same paper. What makes you think we want something? Maxboi404
You write back Max, dude, this isn't instagram! use your real name!

Five minutes. Same paper. What's instagram? Smith Twins (mainly your favourite, Cody). It's true, Cody was your favourite twin. You two got on better than expected. A muggle thing. You write back.

Five minutes. Paper. What are you up to tonight? *wink* Asher xx. You look up, disbelief written all over your face. You get up, gathering your stuff, and walk over to the boys. They all start panicking. Especially Teddy. You scrunch up the paper and throw it hard in Asher's face.

"Pervert! Keep your dogs under control, Lupin!" you shout angrily and storm off, attracting all attention in the courtyard. You never get angry. You're either super happy or upset.

Later that night.

You sigh into your chicken. You look down the table. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. Cody & Caleb are having an 'Eat-Off', whatever that is; Tristan and Teddy are trying out a new handshake, they've called themselves the 'T Birds' (apparently, they stole your copy of Grease and watched it); Maxwell, Dan and Asher were all trying to be James Dean and all of your ex-friends are gossiping. Being sat at the end of the table, you don't have a good view of your old seat, which was now being taken up by Gisela Makarios. She used to sit where you are sat.

You sigh again and look away. Placing your chin in your hand, you look up to the window. It was raining outside. A perfect representation of your mood. You push away and make your way out of the hall. Little did you know, Teddy Lupin had witnessed your whole heartbreaking scene. He turned to the girls, who were all fiddling with their hair, comparing their colours to each other's.

"Girls, tell me again why you aren't friends with Y/N again?" he asks.

"Ugh, Teddy! We told you! She's a total bore!" Eliza said.

"BO-ring!" Sadi sang. "All that girl does is watch movies and listen to muggle music!"

"I think that's quite cool!" he mutters under his breath.

"What was that, Teddykins?" Eliza asks, batting her eyes.

"Uh- nothing..." He looks longingly to the door. "Aight, imma head out!"

Before anyone could object, Teddy runs out of the hall.

You look out the at the grounds, the rain plastering your hair to your face, the raindrops clinging to your eyelashes and blurring your vision. Your clothes weigh you down as you get closer to the railing of the Astronomy Tower. Little did you know, that underneath the platform that your feet depended on, Teddy Lupin was furiously studying the Marauderers Map (which he had borrowed off of James) to try and find you.

"She should be right here!" he shakes the map angrily. He spins around in a full circle. A creak sounds above him as you sit down. He races up the stairs two at a time, one thought echoing through his mind: Y/N!

He bursts onto the platform. You sit with your back to him, hair plastered to your back, a sad muggle song playing on repeat from a stereo which was sat safely in the dry shelter.

And you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

And if you hurt me
That's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home

He slowly makes his way over to you. He sits beside you, not looking at you, his attention focused on the pouring rain. He wraps a arm around your shoulders pulling you into him. You sit like that for a whil. Just sat there. In a comfortable silence.

"I love you, Y/N. Never forget that," he whispers into your hair after kissing your temple.

"I love you too, Teddy," you reply, your voice barely above a whisper.

When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
"Wait for me to come home"
