Riot~Victoire

It was about that time, with the holidays coming around, he knew he should check up on Vicky while he had the chance. The weekend gave him that chance. He had travelled by portkey to the Ministry without a single problem, he could always pass it off if she questioned as him having a meeting to go over his information with his boss of the Hit Wizard profession he had, so she technically couldn't say shit. Damn the ministry was packed today, he wondered why but there it was, the sight of whispy blond hair and he could hear her faint heels even through the crowd,"Oy watch it" he hissed at a young bloke in his way as he weaved through the crowd to follow Vicky. He stayed a few people behind her, his hands gingerly shoved into the pockets of his black slacks and his stride lazy and relaxed but he glanced over at the same time some other man happened to look in the blond's direction and the look on the man's face made Teddy's blood boil. He pushed his way over to the bloke and yanked him by the back of his collar of his jacket,"'Ey 'ave some damn manners, keep yer eyes ahead of ya!" Teddy growled his jealousy was always thin and he couldn't stop himself, next he knew he had punched the guy in the face and that was when security came as always and grabbed him by the arms holding him back from tackling the man who looked utterly stunned,"DO it again, I bloody dare ya to look 'er way again!" he hollered as he was being dragged outside just in time to catch the sight of Vicky's gaze on him. He scowled when they escorted him outside and he leaned against the brick wall of the building now and brought a cigarette to his lips lighting it, if he knew her well enough, she wasn't too far behind him.

Holidays were soon and that meant everyone and their mother decided to be at the Ministry today. After a long and tedious morning of training, Victoire was done training for the day. Since the recent vanishings of aurors, training was cut short on weekends to make sure they had enough aurors to protect those who needed protection. "Make sure to deliver those documents to Magical Games and Sports this time! Not like last time when you gave the World Cup locations to the Law Enforcements!" Her mentor shouted to her. Damn. They still won't let that go The blond sighed and quickly delivered the documents, almost getting lost and dropping them off at Transportation.

After completing the task at hand, Victoire was free to leave. I guess I could study some more, nothing else to do. Heading back to the trainer's lounge would take a good ten minute walk, especially with today's large crowd. Nevertheless, Victoire made her way through the crowd, heels clicking to the floor. She heard a familiar voice that made her body halt to a stop. Why the hell is he here, doesn't he have students to bother? Parts of the crowd had stopped to watch the events unfold and the blonde cursed under her breath, turning to look over, locking eyes with the Teddy Lupin.

Annoyed by the interruption of her extra studying time, she waited until Ted was out of sight to make her way out of the Ministry. I shouldn't be going to him. I should go back to the lounge and study. But that damn look in his eyes Finally making it past the crowd, Victoire leaned forward to see her ex casually leaning against the building, smoking no less. "Geez Theodore," she said in a husky tone of voice, "They're going to think you're not on our team if you keep getting kicked out. Why are you even here? She wanted to make this as brief as possible, but part of her was yelling at her to just run back inside.

Boy did he have a list of answers he could ring off for her but he chose his next words with ease as he exhaled his smoke and side glanced at her,"Haven't you learned by now I'm on my own side, nobody elses, I do what is good for myself and what is good for those I care for, I don't care what any bloody Ministry thinks of me or any damn head master or frankly you any more" he said though he knew the last bit was a lie, he'd always care what she thought of him. He sighed and shook his hair from his eyes before pushing himself away from the wall and taking the last few drags off his cigarette before flicking the butt aside and stopping it out with the heel of his black dress shoes. He looked her over, boy why did she always have to look so good, her clothes always clung to her figure so perfectly, he shook the thoughts aside before he shoved his hands back into his pockets and looked her over,"And why does it matter Vick? Huh? Don't you have better things than me to worry about? I mean after all I was sure that was why we broke up" he said as he walked passed her and took a few steps lingering in his walk though, he knew she'd have a retort, she always did and whether she realized it or not, she would always follow him to either have the last word or just to try and prove him wrong though some times she couldn't prove him wrong. He continued walking now figuring she'd follow if she was still in her normal nature and bad habit of doing so.

Reminder, you hate his guts. Victoire was kicking herself at this rate, she needed to leave and go back to her business but at the same time she needed to be here. His voice still had a way of capturing her in some trance, but she hated this new attitude, even if it was kind of a turn on. Don't care what I think? I can't believe this bastard. As he was starting to walk away, her mind was screaming at her to leave. Agreeing that she should just go back inside and study, her eyes averted to his back as he was speaking. "Are you serious, Teddy," she exasperated in disbelief and caught up with him, now walking at his side, eyes up at him, "My Uncle's been murdered and you're his godkid, " her voice cracked, but she moved on, "You're still family to me even if we're not together. Even though I'm training to be an auror, I do still worry about you, Teddy." She gritted her teeth. Teddy had a way to make the blond's blood boil, which infuriated her even more.

He rolled his eyes at her words, was she really going to throw that card at him, she had no idea how dangerous of territory that was, mentioning Harry like that. He stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face her, a half glare, half saddened look in his eyes,"Are you Bloody kidding me right now with this bullshit Vicky? Your uncle? Yeah well my bloody father and my bloody father figure, how about that?" he threw back in her face, she had no idea how much she just hurt him even with that one comment, nobody ever in their right mind brought up Harry Potter in front of him. He scowled and turned walking again but he knew she was stubborn, he knew she'd be right on his heels again even with the dangerous water she was tredding in. "Good worry about me Vicky, worry about me while ya sleep with some other bloke, worry bout meh when yer writin some other guy love lettehs or whateveh it is you do these days, worreh bout meh..." he scoffed slightly, why did she do this to him, it was bad enough he was going to be dealing with a Christmas without Harry this year and now a Christmas without her in it too, good, he'd drink himself to a darkened stupor and then everyone else could enjoy their bloody holidays but not Teddy, he'd be miserable. He scowled hearing her heels coming behind him again and he forced a hand through his hair,"Come to take anotheh stab at meh?" he said.

Fuck. Victoire crossed the line at the mention of her uncle- it struck a huge chord with Teddy. She had it easy compared to Teddy. Teddy was tossed around the Potter/Weasley clan while she only had to deal with traveling a lot, but with her family. "Shit. I didn't mean it like that. The whole family is messed up right now. I can barely think straight, ok?" She could see how much she hurt him, but she wasn't going to let him get away. "I haven't slept with anyone," Victoire managed to say to him, "You know I wouldn't do that to you, Teddy." Her eyes were dark and she caught up with him again. Even though she dated other guys and a few girls since their break up, the blonde didn't dare to go to far with any of them. She sighed, feeling defeated after pissing off Teddy."No, I'm not here for that. I'm sorry for mentioning Harry, Teddy. And..." The blonde moved in front of him so she could see him eye-to-eye. "I'm sorry for the way I ended things. You know how my mother is, I'm just like her, too blunt for her own good." She should be on her way back to the Ministry, but that little voice inside her head couldn't be heard anymore.

What was she doing? Apologies now? Was she crazy? She definatly had to be some level of daft to start saying that she wouldn't sleep with other men, she wouldn't do that to him? What did that mean? SHe'd stay forever asexual and only date but not get laid to spare his feelings? How did that spare a damn thing if she wasn't going to be with him? She made little sense. When she halted infront of him he had to stop and take a step back as to not bump into her and he folded his arms over his chest now and looked her over before meeting her gaze,"What are ye tryin ta say Vicky? I don't have time fer dese games yer playin with meh head" he said and it was true, even though he loved her, his mentality could only handle so much emotional pain at once and so much torture from being told she was sorry one minute when the next she could be telling him to shove off. He cocked his head and skimmed his bottom lip with his teeth,"If dere is one thing I've eveh learned in my life neveh pass the blame of yer actions onto someone else, its not because yer like yer mum, its because yer you Vicky simple as that and onleh you can fix yer mistakes" he said, for an ass he was at least a logical ass. He looked at her still though and sighed ruffling his hair with one hand,"Sorreh don' mean a damn thing if yer actions don't reflect it"

"I'm not playing any games. I'm here for you. I don't know exactly how you feel, but that doesn't mean I can't be there for you." Victoire mumbled about visiting during Christmas, hoping he wouldn't be an ass about visiting on Christmas too. She wanted him there. It had been a few years since he was last over and even her father saw she wasn't happy. It was true, she really did take after her mom when it came to being a bitch, she couldn't help it. And how does he expect me to show it? Shout to the world that he's the greatest fuck in the world? Her eyes searched his for some sort of answer, but she had no result. She had been quiet the whole time, her eyes in a glare sent his way. Finally, the blonde was fed up. "God, Teddy, you're so frustrating! She grabbed the shirt of his collar with both hands and pulled on it. When his head was close enough to hers, she pressed her lips to his. All the anger that the blonde held in was putting more passion in this kiss than the girl had hoped. Victoire pulled away just as quickly as she pulled into it, releasing her grip on Teddy's collar. "I-I gotta go..." She hurried past him, making her way back to the Ministry, heels clicking against the stone. Why did I do that. Now he's really going to think I'm playing games. It was so.. No, Victoire. You have to worry about training, not Teddy.

"Be there for me? Vick you..." he was cut off when her lips met his and he couldn't help it, his arms wrapped around her petite waist, pulling her against his body, his eyes closing and he had to deepen the kiss, what was he doing? He was writing his own suicide letter with this kiss, he swore it, she was playing with him. When she pulled away he was about to speak until soon enough she was walking passed him. He turned abruptly after taking a moment to realize what had happened,"Absolutely bloody not, yer not gonna jus' kiss meh like dat and walk away," he said as he caught up to her and he gently managed to grab her wrist and twirl her around. His eyes locked with her's. "Not this time Vicky, ya can't do that, so what is it ya want? Ya can't kiss meh and expect it not to jumble my head even more than the mess it already is in, so what the bloody hell are ya doing to meh?" he asked a tinge of desperation lingering on his words, in his tone, if she wanted to be stubborn about this and decided to push him away again, he'd go get bloody wasted and find some other female to hit on, but he really hoped she had an explanation for her actions.

Victoire was close to getting away from Teddy until her wrist was grabbed and she was forced to turn and face him again. She tried not to look him in the eyes, her eyes drifting to the streets. God, his voice can still trap me. Her hazel eyes finally locked to his, still dark with desire. "Teddy," the blonde began whispering in that husky voice she knew would get his attention, "I want you back. I want to be in your arms again. I want to spend Christmas with you. I want to sneak into those secret rooms in Hogwarts and be together. I want you, Teddy." Victoire Weasley didn't beg, but not having Teddy for so long, she chose that was the only option. Her hands found their way onto his jacket, tugging it to get closer to him.

What was she doing? God how he wanted just to hold her and tell her everything was going to be alright, but could he? Could he risk getting hurt by her again? He looked down into those deep dark eyes and a sigh escaped his lips,"I'll make you a deal," he managed, if she really wanted him back so bad she would do this,"Go to the Snow Ball at the school with me, I'm Chaperoning and it'll give you a chance to see your cousins and junk....if you be my date to it, I'll consider everything all over again," he offered up as he skimmed his bottom lip with his teeth. He kept his arms around her waist now and awaited her reply to him, he planned on dressing up and if she said no he'd find a girl from Hogsmeade, someone like Zoey the candy shop girl or one of the cute bartenders, she needed to realize he wasn't off limits to the rest of the world if she didn't take her chances. "What do ya say? Its a once in a life time offeh Miss Weasleh" he said as his eyes scanned her face looking for any indication of her answer, he silently hope to himself she'd say yes, if she rejected he'd feel like an absolute fool for thinking she was serious about wanting him back.

Make a deal? Gambling with real life, I see. You're taking a risk, Teddy. Victoire raised a brow in interest. She hadn't forgotten her first Snow Ball at Hogwarts. She didn't go with Teddy, but went with a group of her friends. Eventually she had reached her way over to Teddy and danced with him. "Snow Ball, Teddy? It's been a while since I did any ballroom dancing. You might have to coach me in it," she joked, "Of course, I'll take you up for that offer. I would be honored to go with you, Theodore." She winked at him and clutched his jacket, "I haven't seen many of my cousins in so long y'know training takes up a lot of time these days. Haven't seen my sister in forever. Should I refer to you as Professor?" There was a seductive tone in her voice, smirking she kissed his cheek this time, whispering in his ear, "I'll see you at the castle? Don't worry, I'll look great, I always do. I never disappoint. I would stay, but I really have to go back now. I need to go and finish a few things." With that said, Victoire let go of his jacket and headed back to the Ministry. The blonde knew she needed Teddy and she was going to try as hard as she could to get him back.
