Do not shot yourself!!


Right, there is this post. Then another one, then the epilogue. This is pretty long so don't worry if you get bored.

Enjoy xx


Teddy was standing at the bedroom door, his wand pointing at us both. I could see an evil smile on his face through my tears as he yelled ‘Stupefy!’ I braced myself for the blank moment I would experience when the spell hit me. Rob fell to the floor but I did not. I looked up at Teddy who was walking towards me, wand still in a defensive position.

‘Please, you have to believe me..... He was hurting me; my ribs hurt... my back. That wasn’t what it looked like, Ted ...believe me. Don’t hurt me, I’m begging please.’ I sobbed and held my hands tight, surely he wouldn’t hurt me.

Teddy strolled across the room to the four poster bed and was staring at me with eyes so fierce I was sure this was the end for me. I didn’t want to be hurt again, I was petrified. He stretched out his hand towards my face and I prepared for the sharp sting of a slap or the harsh blow of a punch but instead he caressed my cheek.

‘Victoire what are you on about? I would never hurt you, I love you. I’ve said and done things but I don’t love you any less than I did on our wedding day, or the day I proposed, or the day we first kissed. Honest, I swear, I couldn’t ever hurt you. I’m angry that you came here in the first place but I’m furious with the scum that was forcing you to do something you didn’t want to.’

‘I love you too Ted, I swear. I’m so sorry, I was mad at him – he wanted to see me. Then he got angry and I was scared, he started kissing me and he threw my wand, I had no hope in hell. You saved me, thank you. I love you,

I’m sorry. I just.... I don’t know what I was going to say... I do love you.’

We sat on the bed and I held his hand in mine. He was staring at our fingers;
I pushed his chin up and looked at his eyes. He was tired, I could tell and he was still calming himself down. I leaned in and kissed his pink lips, hoping to ease the tension. His lips didn’t respond, they were still, I pulled away and he was shaking his head.

‘I can’t Vic, not here, not now. Later, my love.’

‘Whatever you need Ted, what are we doing with him? He will wake up soon.’

‘I’ll call Harry and Ron, I can’t bare the sight of the scum. Can you stand alright? You’re still shaking.’

‘I’m fine Teddy, honest – let’s go.’

We were still holding hands as we walked down the grand staircase and into the living room. I grabbed my wand and winced a little. Thankfully Teddy didn’t hear me, there was no fuss necessary. The bottom of my back had hurt when I bent down but it was nothing. We apparated about a mile from Shell Cottage and walked the rest of the way. The spring breeze was whipping at our legs but as long as we were together, nothing else mattered.

We walked along the beach and talked about our daughters.

‘Violet changes only her hair just now; she hasn’t changed anything else about her appearance. Is that strange honey?’

‘No, don’t worry. Anyway, do you want her to have a pig nose?’ Teddy laughed at me and looked me in the eye to see if I got the joke.

‘Well, if she looks like you when you have your pig nose on then no. You really don’t suit it Teddy.’

‘Hey, not funny! I happen to look rather dashing with a snout.’

‘Well, rather dashing for a pig anyway.’ I giggled as he started tickling me around my waist, we were both laughing so much. It was like we were at school again.

Memories of our life together before Ted left for South Africa came flooding back. Like when I told him I was pregnant and then how I fainted at the family dinner we had in the flat. Or when I found out there was two babies, or when we were preparing for the wedding and how pretty I felt in my dress.

Then I remembered finding out when Teddy died, my chest felt numb. I was so upset I couldn’t move, I was so shocked I couldn’t cry then all of a sudden it hit me. My husband was dead and there was nothing I could do about it. Nothing, I was helpless and hopeless. I stopped walking and Teddy whipped around to face me. I was crying and he looked puzzled.

‘Vic, are you OK? Did I hurt you? Please, talk to me.’

‘It’s nothing Ted, just a memory. I was remembering things before everything turned bad then the bad things started haunting my mind. I just.... promise me something Teddy.’

‘Anything,’ he whispered as he held the sides of my face and stared into my eyes.

‘Never leave me.’

‘I won’t, you can count on it.’

Then he kissed me, properly kissed me. It felt like we were young again. This time I was sure I wasn’t going to remember the bad things in life. I was too happy. Nothing could pull me away, I played with my husband’s hair which was now a vibrant red, and I was in a dream. Teddy was tracing his fingers on my back and his other hand was playing with my fingers. I moved my lips to his neck so that I could breathe and he shook with laughter as he felt my rushed breathing against his skin.

‘I love you Victoire.’

I moved my lips to his ear and whispered my reply. ‘I love you too.’


How was it??
