| Sassenach | RAVENPUFF | Sing me a song of a lass that is gone | bookDRAGON | #awkwardturtle<# 7. Care of Magical Creatures “Um, no. Get that thing away from me.”
“It’s just a snake,” Teddy muttered, letting it curl around his arm and across his shoulders. “It’s disgusting! I’m serious Teddy, get it AWAY from me.”
Teddy and Ava laughed. He stepped away, putting the snake back in its enclosure. “Come on Sophia, it’s not like it’s a basilisk. It’s a muggle creature, not a magical one.” The poor little corn snake didn’t even have venom. “It won’t hurt you.” Much. “I don’t care if it’s magical or muggle. It’s still a beast.”
“IS NOT!” Ava said, getting annoyed at Sophia’s ignorance.

“The dungeon?” Teddy asked, outraged. “I guess it was a little bit cold but they had oil lamps.”
Teddy shook his head. “That’s barbaric!”
“What? Teddy don’t worry, you won’t be in Slytherin. I’m sure the Ravenclaw tower is nice and warm all year round.”
“No, not that,” he said, waving it off, “dungeon! That’s.. that’s a prison! Your common room was a prison. An underground prison cell, in a castle. That is a dungeon.”
Zhenya snorted. “You should stop reading dictionaries.”

“Just what? You’re pouty because I told Lux you liked her! And now you’re not talking to me! So what else is the problem? Why are you acting like you’re angry?”
“BECAUSE! Because…” he sighed. “I haven’t told anyone anything and everyone just assumes I have a big fat crush on Lux. We are friends. There’s nothing wrong with that. I can be friends with a girl. She’s friendly, and she loves books. We get along really well.”
Ava rolled her eyes. “Admit it Teddy, you have a big fat crush on an older woman.”

It was just his teenage blues, his mother had said. He will get over it, she said. Well, it was a year later and he still wasn’t over it. Whatever ‘it’ was. But it was just… nothing. He felt nothing.
Until Lux hugged him. He knew a hug could do nothing, but… wait, what was that? Her hair! It was covering his face as he returned her hug, and as he inhaled, he realized he had smelled that before… a potion Zhenya had been working on a few months prior.

OH NO.
Teddy was pacing back and forth, his hands trembling, his mouth dry, his heart racing, his stomach churning. It was today. He couldn't take it. He just couldn't. What would it be? There were so many things it could be. But what was the worst thing it could be? That thought was enough to scare him mad.
Would that be what it was?
What would the boggart show? It was in the cupboard on the landing. His uncle had told he and Ava that he was going to teach them how to get rid of boggarts.

Teddy giggled and went to his draw. Rummaging through it, he pulled out a polaroid camera. "Can... can I take a photo?" he asked. "Sure," she said, holding another pose.
Teddy clicked the button twice. Two photos came out the bottom. He shook them, and after a few moments, he handed one to her, and put the other one on his corkboard. "Thanks Teddy," Lux said, smiling down at the photo. "It's okay," Teddy said, with a slight blush. "You could... put it in your portfolio."

But Teddy didn't think she was being careful. "It's antique wrapping paper." She was going to rip it. He ran his hands through his hair, grabbing a fist full in each hand. What would they do if it did rip? They had found it, and it was lovely paper. It was part of the present! Zhenya would love the delicate antique paper with the herbs pressed into it. "There," Ava said, and Teddy heard her breathe a sigh of relief. "No rips. Good." He breathed. "Good job."

Sherlock!Teddy and Watson!Lux were on a MISSION to solve the mystery of Stonehenge. The Wiccans and Pagans were involved, they suspected. The scratches made it seem like something awful had happened. But was it the Pagans or the Wiccans who were responsible for the act of violence that they stumbled across? First the scratches, and then the possible finger nail... "I have a microscope at home, we could have a look at it under there."
This would mean MORE TIME to hang out together.

Teddy never asked her if she was in a relationship. Of course she would be, she was the world's most beautiful, kind, and intelligent person.
And soon she was going to be married.
Teddy tried to put on a happy face when she showed him the ring, announcing that Bay had proposed. But now that he was alone, he felt himself become sucked into his thoughts.
A timeturner! He could go back in time and meet her first!
But he knew that was not the right thing to do. Lux was happy, why would he change that?

The door opened and Lisabel walked in. "Why are you snappish all of a sudden?" she demanded.
Teddy rolled his eyes and pulled the blankets over his head. He didn't want to deal with this. Not now. "Just leave me alone mum." "No, Theodore, I will not." Lisabel pulled the blankets off and rested her hands on her hips. "Come down and eat dinner."
Teddy sighed and pulled himself out of bed to eat.

"I..." he rubbed his face, "Look, I spoke with Zhenya and she told me that this... this lady friend of yours is engaged." He paused to glance over at his nephew. "I've been there, my friend. Maaaaany many times. Had my heart broken, but I always recover. And so will you."
Teddy shrugged. "I just... didn't even know she was seeing someone." "I know mate," Archer said, putting an arm around Teddy's shoulders. "I know. It hurts. But I know you're also good friends with her. That won't change, will it?"

"Good," Archer replied. "I just don't know how to act around her now. Do I pretend I never loved her? Or do I tell her? Or... or what? What do I do?" Teddy had no idea how to behave around girls who weren't family. Lux had been a very special friend. WAS. Was a very special friend. He never felt like he had to put on a face around her, but now he wan't sure. "Just be careful. Be yourself, be how you always have. That's who Lux is friends with. Don't change."

Lisabel raised her eyebrows. "Stop mooching Teddy, it does not suit you."
Teddy looked a little deflated. "Can I please borrow a galleon? I'll pay you back."
Lisabel finally nodded, going to her purse to take a galleon out. "What's it for?" she asked.
Teddy cleared his throat. "W-well my friend is engaged. Remember Lux? Well... I wanted to buy her an engagement present." That's what Archer had told him to do. So he was going to go and buy one today.

"Arithmancy. There's some extra work the Professor gave me to do. It's just for practice, I'm not being graded." He felt the need to add that, just in case his parents sent in a complaint. He didn't want the Professors to have to stop giving him extra practice work during the holidays. "Oh Teddy Arithmancy? It's such a bore!"
"It is not! Look at this," he said, unrolling a very large scrill of parchment, showing intricate graphs and diagrams. "My number chart! I did it myself!"

"Okay," Lux agreed, "China it is!" She was happy that they were making plans to do something together, after not seeing each other for nine months. "How will we get there?" Teddy knew Lux's car, as amazing as it was, probably didn't fly. Plus Teddy didn't particularly like heights, so flying was out. "Hmm well we could try a Portkey. Your uncle's wife works in the Department of Magical Transport. Do you think she could help?"
"Actually, she might! I'll send her a letter now."

His thoughts trailed off to the time when he first met Jace. Teddy was going into his second year, Jace his first. They were at the Platform, standing with Jace's father, who pulled a sock out of Jace's trunk. And then some underthings. Teddy had tried not to laugh then, seeing his friends embarrassment, but he couldn't help it now. His laughter made him stop to clutch at his stomach. "Jace do you remember when we first met? Your dad was-was-was pulling out your clothes from your trunk...."

He hadn't wanted to, because he found Potions to be a very messy subject. And he didn't like being messy. Give him parchment, quills, textbooks and lectures any day over slicing livers and stirring steaming potions.
It was a week before the year started. Teddy put together his Potions kit. "... three pairs of dragonhide gloves, extra long, one small fire extinguisher..." he looked at the red bottle marked 'X-Tinguish' before fitting it into his charmed kit. There was no way he was going in unprepared. Not this year. "Glass vials...."

"I mean, I have a sweet tooth, and I'm not the only one." He looked to Lux. "I would never be out of a job." His smile turned into a grimace as he realised being a dentist would involve other people's saliva, teeth, blood etc. No, that wasn't for him.
Lux laughed "Well that's okay, you could become a dentist and just treat your own teeth. But that's a lot of studying just for self care." She bit into another Bertie Bott's bean. "Hmm... it is. It'd be interesting...."

"Where is she? Can I hold her?" "SHH!" Gabby snapped, her head poking up from the couch. She looked to the tent opening and saw her white-faced nephew. She blinked. "Sorry. Valeria is having a nap, I don't want her to wake up."
Teddy looked sheepishly down at his feet. "S-sorry Gabby. C-can I see her?" he asked, very slowly making his way towards the couch.
Gabby nodded, carefully pulling the corner of the blanket from Valeria's face. Teddy smiled. "She's beautiful Gabby."

[B][size=4]"Where is Ava?" Lisabel asked her son. "I don't know mama, I think she went to the bathroom."
Lies.
Lisabel shook her head, and continued to eat her meal. Teddy saw Ava sneaking out from under the table, towards the stairs. She turned around and walked back to the table. "Sorry mum, I just had to wash my hands." She sat back down and said "Dad, can you please get the salt?"
Alex stood up and went to walk. He fell over, and Ava roared with laughter. "I tied your shoelaces together!"
Alex untied them whilst Ava scolded her daughter.

Teddy had learned not to get in the middle of these fights. He picked at his food whilst Alex cleared the other dishes from the table. Their parents were thoroughly annoyed.
"You have no sense of humour mother," Ava yelled.
"Rubbish, young lady. You just VEX us so much with your incessant pranks. It needs to stop, Ava. It needs to stop NOW."
Ava rolled her eyes. It was the same speech every time. Teddy knew she could recite it, word for word. Thankfully she knew better than that, though.

Lisabel looked at Teddy. "Did you do this? Think it's funny putting your daring sister up to these dares?"
Teddy's eyes widened. "No mama, it wasn't me! I didn't dare her to do anything, I promise!" What was this?
Lisabel shook her head, her lips pursed. "Well then who was it? Neither of you have left the house this weekend. Who else could have dared your sister to do this?"
Teddy looked to her for help. "Tell her it wasn't me, Ava! Mama it wasn't me!"
"Relax mother, it was a friend from school."

Teddy looked up with fear. Salem's head perked up. They were both looking at the owl, now perched on top of the television. Hoot, Hoot
Salem prowled over to where Rosie the owl was perched. "Salem, stop it," Teddy warned, standing up.
But it wasn't a disaster. Who would have known a kitten and an owl would become friends? Rosie hopped onto the floor, standing still enough for Salem to sniff, then give her a lick.

This would be the final class he ever took. The Ancient Runes classroom was to be the last classroom he ever walked into. At least at Hogwarts.
He was the first one there. He greeted the Professor, and put all of his things on his desk, just like he had done every other time he had come into a classroom. He pulled out his textbook, parchment, quill and ink. His wand was there, and his bag was placed under the table. It felt surreal. His last lessson. The thought left Teddy with a hollow feeling.

He was happy because he had done it. Completed seven years of his education. He was going to be able to put the plans he had thought out for his future into action. He could get a job, buy more books, travel the world. But he was also fearful for the leap he was to take into adulthood. No more Hogwarts safety net. He was on his own feet now.
