Betrayal Of The Worst Kind

Teddy shook his head, the guilt had arrived earlier than it did normally. He knew, even as he was doing it, that what he was doing was wrong, and every time he promised himself that this was the last. The guilt, and he felt it each time, normally hit as he was getting dressed, but this time, he was still in lay in her bed, still naked, she was still lay cuddled to his arm.

He knew that what he was doing was the most disgusting, immoral thing a man could do. He knew that if anyone found out, he would be hated by his entire family. He knew he wouldn't stop.

She shifted slightly, apparently she could tell he was unhappy, and looked up at him.

"Do you want to stop doing this?" she asked him, and though her voice was strong, he could see the sadness in her eyes.

"Yes. But I know I won't and you know it as well. I love you. I love her. I don't know what to do."

"I've told you that this is enough for me. I don't want a full time boyfriend."

"I know that, but if she found out, if anyone found out, she would be heartbroken. It would destroy her. I feel like such a tool for doing this to her. I'm sorry, I have to go."

Teddy got dressed quickly, leaving the room and then the house, vowing to never end up back there, back in her bed.

He danced with her closely, holding her to him as over one hundred people watched. This was the first dance of the rest of their lives, an important tradition to both the muggle and wizarding world alike. Victoire smiled at him, kissing his nose as they twirled, making him chuckle. He had waited for this day for so long, and now it was here, he was dreading all that it entailed. He released his new wife to her father, and offered his hand to his aunt Ginny, who accepted it with a smile. This was the last dance before he must offer her his hand.

"You look pale, Ted, is everything okay?" Ginny asked, concern on her pretty face. He smiled at her, the woman who had been his mother, auntie and sister all rolled into one.

"I'm fine. Today's been a long day, you know?"

"I do. I was so tired when I married Harry, we needed the honeymoon to wind down from it. Of course that could have had something to do with the whirlwind that is my mother."

Teddy chuckled and they finished their dance with a hug.

Now he had to face her.

Teddy escaped the reception taking in a deep breath of fresh air to settle him. The dance had been horrible and wonderful, full of awkwardness, even as he remembered how well their bodies fit together when naked. She had rubbed against him at one point, whether an accident or deliberate he didn't know, and he had almost come undone.

"Did I make you uncomfortable?" she asked from behind him. He sighed. He had known she would follow him. He walked away from the venue, knowing she was behind him, knowing what he was about to do, already feeling the guilt well up inside of him.

As they rounded the corner, into an alleyway, he cast silencing and privacy spells.

They gazed at each other for a moment, both wondering if they were really going to do this, if they were really going to betray her to such an extent.

As their lips met in a passionate kiss, Victoire fell from Teddy's mind, instead it was filled with the beautiful young woman in his arms, so much alike, yet so different. As Dominique pressed her body to his, he moaned. He knew this was a worse betrayal than any he had ever committed.

He was most definitely going to hell.
