Dear Teddy

[Lily Luna Potter]

I'm really sorry I haven't written to you recently. I've been quite busy with school and stuff. I heard you and Jade split up. That's a shame. Are you okay?

Did you hear about Lucy? I don't think she'll mind me telling you, if you didn't hear, because she wrote a letter to the whole family to tell us. She's going out with a girl, and it's really weird because it's my friend Abby - you know, Abby Longbottom. At least I think they're going out. I don't think she'd have told her whole family if they were just kissing, would she? And it's not like I have a problem with it, it's just that it's Abby and Lucy. I mean, it was weird enough when Abby was snogging Bronson, because they're both my friends, but Abby snogging Lucy is even weirder. Is that horrible of me?

Also, I don't know how long it's been happening, but Abby's my really good friend, so I feel a bit upset that she didn't tell me.

Anyway, that's the only real news that's happened recently. I haven't seen Albus this term, but I talked to James in the broom shed, and I saw him snogging Cassie in the corridors so I turned round and walked the other way. Oh, and Louis says Victoire's back from France. Did you know that?

How's work going?

Lots of love,

Lily xxx

Lily,

Oh, it's not a problem, you silly. Oh, you heard. I figured you would've. Yeah, I'm okay; I was the one that did the breaking up. I felt so bad about it but I'm getting past the guilt now.

Oh. Oh. Wow. I had no idea Lucy liked girls. I'm glad for her though. Maybe Abby might be able to tame her a bit you know, just don't tell her I said that. I think it's okay for you to feel awkward about it Lils. I mean, having your best friends dating isn't the easiest thing to see, and maybe because you feel like the third wheel, you're feeling awkward? Maybe that's the reason she didn't tell you. Maybe she felt unsure about how you'd react to it. Why don't you go talk to her about it, ask her about the whole thing?

Don't worry, if I were you I'd run in the opposite direction. Oh Merlin, I have disgusting mental images now. Ew.

Yeah, I heard she's back. Why is everyone telling me? I ran into her the other day, but it was awkward to say the least. I don't think she likes me very much or at all.

Work is work. Busy. Annoying. Loving it, as always.

Love you too,
Teddy.

Dear Teddy,

Yeah, Roxie told me. Are you sure you're okay? I mean, you shouldn't feel guilty, because you can't help how you feel, can you? I feel bad for Jade. But I know you'd have done it nicely, because I know you'd never want to hurt her. She'll find someone else - not as nice as you because nobody is, but still.

I didn't know Lucy liked girls either. I don't think anyone did, unless she told Ella Malfoy. But me and Lucy don't really hang out at school or tell each other secrets. Me and Abby do though. At least I thought we did. I don't feel like a third wheel, that's not what I mean. It's only a bit weird to get used to it, because they're all getting boyfriends and girlfriends and snogging people except for me. Why would Abby think it would bother me? I don't want to talk to her about it.

I like Cassie, but I wish they wouldn't snog in public places. The rest of us don't need to see that. D'you remember when James caught you snogging Vic on the platform at King's Cross?

I bet she does like you. D'you want me to ask her?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. D'you really love it?

Love, Lily xxxxxxxx

Dearest Lils,

I'm fine, I promise! Nicely? Lily, I did it through an owl. I feel so bad, but it had to be done. I felt like I was cheating on her even if I really wasn't. Sometimes I wish Vic hadn't come back because I was actually falling for Jade. The woman is it for me. Molly's right. I should really find somebody and move on. Somebody who'll understand that I might never love them, but that they're a rebound. Thanks. I really hope she does find somebody! She deserves some happiness.

Hey, I'm sure Abby had a reason for not telling you. Maybe she doesn't think things are that serious to talk about? Or maybe she's having a tough time coming in terms with the idea herself. She probably can't think of how her life has changed, let alone talking to someone about it.

Yes, I do remember. I don't think I could keep my feelings a secret after that. Back when things were better, you know?

NO! Please don't ask her, I don't want to know.

Yes, I do love it but it's annoying me right now. Does that make sense?

Love, Teddy






((OOC - Kind of a random place to ask, but do you want to do an awkward post kiss letter b/w Abby and Louis because she doesn't have the guts to see him and this would be after he got the Dear Weasley Tribe letter from Lucy?)
