Re: Under a Random Tree

"Met Scorpius in a hallway. Might've said something stupid." He smiled sadly and caught her gaze. "Want one?" He offered, holding one out to her. "Might relieve some stress."

Ginny Weasley May 11th 2010, 4:58 am

"Again?" she says sympathetically. "Sorry Teddy." She bites her lip hesitantly, then thinks back to that one time she had a cigarette in the forest. "Alright, one. But this doesn't get out. People will think I'm a bloody hypocrite, trying to help you stop then having a cigarette myself."

**Teddy Lupin** May 11th 2010, 5:03 am

He shrugged, "I'll quit. I just need to relax first. Anyways, you can't quit all at once. Baby steps." He winced when he realized he'd said the word 'baby'.

Ginny Weasley May 11th 2010, 5:06 am

"Urgh," she groans when he says baby. "Okay, fine...yes please," she says. "Mum's the word though!" she says then closes her eyes in disbelief because she really wasn't fond of the word 'mum' either. "Yeah, I need one now."

[Dean won't judge if he smells it considering he probably smells like he took a bath in tequila..]

**Teddy Lupin** May 11th 2010, 5:12 am

He smiled, "You know, this whole thing is probably for the better. I know you got attached and everything but having a kid at age 16 would take tons of time and energy. You will need all the focus you can get to pass your NEWTs next year. Anyways, I've heard it hurts." He said, pulling a face. He couldn't imagine having a whole person coming out of you. He lit the cigarette he was holding and passed it to her.

Ginny Weasley May 11th 2010, 11:59 pm

"Yeah, you're absolutely right. In the long run, it's better that I'll have more time until I'm ready. Though, I would have dealt with it just fine I think if I were to have a baby. Though, giving birth is definitely not on the list of things I look forward to. Gods, blokes have it so easy," she says with a light laugh as she takes the cigarette from Teddy then takes a drag. Her mind seems to almost instantly clear as the nicotine consumes her mouth and throat.

**Teddy Lupin** May 12th 2010, 12:04 am

"We sure do." He smiled, noticing that she was getting better at smoking. He wondered if that was a good thing or not. "Did you talk to James?"

Ginny Weasley May 12th 2010, 12:10 am

"Mmm, I did," she answers, then shifts so that she is sitting with her back against the tree. "To say he was relieved was an understatement. He was really rather supporting though, when I was clearly a bit distraught. Much better than the last meeting."

**Teddy Lupin** May 12th 2010, 12:27 am

He nods, "And... did you tell Dean?" He asked, hesitant to bring this up because of her admission of kissing someone else.

Ginny Weasley May 12th 2010, 12:54 am

"Yeah," she mumbles. "To say that there was yelling would be an understatement. He knew before I even told him. I came into the common room and he was insanely hungover. He...he was the one in the hallway, that saw Fabian and I. I told him to yell, get angry though. It just...it made me feel something. Made me feel better, as fucked up as that may sound."

**Teddy Lupin** May 12th 2010, 12:58 am

"Of course it made you feel better. You wanted him to treat you how you felt you deserve." He shrugged, "You didn't deserve it though. It wasn't you, it was your crazy hormones." He stopped talking just long enough to take a drag of his cigarette, "So, is it over then?" He asked softly.

Ginny Weasley May 12th 2010, 1:06 am

"I...I don't know," she admits, then takes a drag of the cigarette. "He said he was done. That he couldn't take it anymore, but then I told him there was no baby. That it was a prank. I think he felt guilty. We're...we're going to talk, once he sobers up. I mean, I don't want it to be over, but I can't see how he could forgive me at this point," she sighs.

**Teddy Lupin** May 12th 2010, 1:14 am

"People make mistakes. It's up to him now, I guess." He smiled, "Besides, I hear there are other fish in the sea. Better ones."

Ginny Weasley May 12th 2010, 1:18 am

"Yeah, that's true," she smiles. "Or I can always just become an old lady with hundreds of kneazles. I can see that life working out real well for me. Okay, enough with depressing Dom time, let's shift to depressing Teddy time. Now, what exactly happened in that hallway with Scorpius? What would result in you getting punched in the nose?"

**Teddy Lupin** May 12th 2010, 1:27 am

"That reminds me, I should get it fixed soon." He said, rubbing his nose. "Well, I may have said some stupid stuff to him about his breakup with Faye. And I think I insulted her again, which will suck when they get back together." He frowned, "When I'm angry I say stupid stuff. Not entirely my fault."

Ginny Weasley May 12th 2010, 1:30 am

"It's a defense mechanism. Loads of people do the exact same thing. Can you err, be on honest with me? This conversation doesn't leave this spot and forget about Vic for a second. Is it possible that you may still harbor feelings for Faye?" she asks cautiously.

**Teddy Lupin** May 12th 2010, 1:33 am

He shrugged, "I don't think so. But sometimes these things are hard to get rid of. Last time I saw her she was a mess, but it felt like we were talking as friends."

Ginny Weasley May 12th 2010, 1:40 am

"That's good Teddy," she says giving him a small smile then talking a drag of her cigarette. "The poor girl sounds like she could use friends. Do you want me to heal your nose with an Episkey? I think I could manage it, though I've only technically done the spell twice."

**Teddy Lupin** May 12th 2010, 1:41 am

"Yeah, that'd be great." He smiled, "Don't worry about making it look pretty, I can do that myself."

Ginny Weasley May 12th 2010, 1:48 am

"Mmm, very true," she grins then shifts so that she is facing him. She holds her cigarette in one hand, then takes her wand out and points it at his nose with the other. She focuses on the spell and wand movements for a moment then says, "Episkey!" She smiles in satisfaction as his nose heals, and she moves to lean back against the tree. "All better Teddy Graham," she says.

**Teddy Lupin** May 12th 2010, 1:52 am

Teddy grinned, "Thanks. That will save me a trip." He paused for a second, "I should get going... but you should take a few of these just because. It's nice to be prepared." He pressed the almost empty cigarette package into her hand.

Ginny Weasley May 12th 2010, 1:59 am

"No problem," she smiles. Her gaze falls on the cigarette pack that Teddy places in her hand and she bites her tongue. "I..." she finds herself about to protest, but stops. There was no denying, the cigarette made her feel better about everything and she would be a bloody hypocrite for berating him for not quitting. She glances up at him, says a quiet "thanks", then pockets the package. "I'll...I'll see you soon," she promises.

Victoire walks over to a tree~~wearing her anti-smoking shirt~~ and sits down to er....read a book because I feel weird having her just sit here.

**Teddy Lupin** May 12th 2010, 3:17 am

Teddy walks up to the tree from before, thinking of another cigarette. Luckily he didn't give all of them to Dom, he still had more in his dorm. He sees Vic and changes his mind. "Hi!" He says, smiling and sitting next to her.
