She's fifteen, and sobbing her heart out.

After all, she's the only part-Veela in the school, which means she's an easy target for the hatred of the other girls and the lust of all the boys.

But Victoire Weasley is so much more than just a pretty face, and she hates it that that's the only thing that people see.

It was inevitably Neville who would find her when she was in that state. He was the only one who knew how to comfort her. Not even Teddy, who she was dating, could stop her tears when the prejudice and desire she faced got too much.

She's seventeen, and all she can do is stare brokenly at the letter in front of her.

Teddy and she hadn't been in love for some time now, but she had never thought that they would come to this.

But it's staring her in the face, all black and white, apologies from Teddy telling her that he never meant to and he didn't see it coming. She didn't either, but she can't deny it any longer – Teddy's gone and fallen in love with James, and he's destroyed all her hopes of the two of them somehow returning to who they were before.

It's been a year since she was so destroyed – the girls have grown over their jealously and the boys over their childish lust, and the last time she cried, it was because Teddy hadn't returned to Hogwarts with her – but it's Neville who finds her once again. It's Neville who whispers words of comfort to her.

She spends a good part of her seventh year in the greenhouses. It's either that or spend it in tears, and that's not something she really wants to do.

She's pretty sure that she and Neville have become pretty good friends over the year, more than the typical teacher-student relationship she shares with her other professors.

And then she meets him after her Herbology NEWT, and he whispers to her how much he loves, how deeply he's fallen in love with over the years. He tells her how hard it was to hide, to put up a façade of fatherly care and friendship.

She's never thought of him in that way, but when his lips touch, it all makes sense all of a sudden. The two of them, they're meant to be together.

Then he raises his head and moves to apologise for being too forward and expecting too much, and she just laughs, pulling him in for another kiss.

They've got a long road in front of them, and more explanations to give than she cares to think about, but here, in his arms, she finds that whatever she has to face, it's more than worth it.

I hope you guys enjoy! Please don't forget to drop a review on your way out :3
