Stealing the Moonlight

Teddy R. Lupin. 25 years old (though some say I have the mentality of a twelve year old), a former Hufflepuff, and now an Auror. Known for being a goof ball, for getting into copious amounts of trouble with one Jim Potter, and for sporting a pig's snout during the most serious of times. Screw 'em if they can't take a joke. Yes, I'm one of the loony Aurors stationed at Hogwarts. Mind you, I'm only here for the food.

Did one of the first years blow up a toilet again? 

[lupinsted]

Well now that would be great. 

[malfoy-cordelia-blog]

That’s not the correct spell to vanquish a boggart, you know. [smiles, a little shyly]

[lupinsted]

Oh? And which is it, Ms. Malfoy?

[seraphine-rupert]

I could name a thousand things that are ridiculous, but I’m afraid you’ll have to be more specific if you want to be understood.

[lupinsted]

The prophet. It's absolute rubbish. 

[tobiaskrum]

What’s yellow and black and dumb all over? 

You.

[lupinsted]

I'm guessing that's a Krum original, eh? Hilarious. 

[tobiaskrum]

Yes you are.

[lupinsted]

How cute, it knows jokes. 

Do another one. 

[lupinsted]

Ridiculous.

[elllajane]

Maybe, actually. Kinda had my head buried in a book the last couple of days, and I seemed to miss something. Care to fill me in?

[lupinsted]

I think I heard about a first year gluing his eyes and ears shut, but other than that I'm not sure you missed anything, actually. Whatcha been reading?

[elianamccarthy]

Teddy, when do I not look confused? [sighs] But yes…Do you know anything about the benefits of slug brains in potions?

[lupinsted]

That's true. [ stares blankly ] ...is that a trick question?

[tobiaskrum]

Just confused to where your ass has been lately, Lupin. I’m surprised you haven’t missed our bro bonding time as much as I have. 

[lupinsted]

I'm just playing hard to get, of course. I can't give in to your desperate need for bromancin' all the time, Krummy.

[lupinsted]

Can I help you with something? You look a little confused. 

[seraphine-rupert]

Not confused, just mad.

[lupinsted]

Why's that? Maybe I can help.

[lupinsted]

Can I help you with something? You look a little confused. 

[shininglike-victoireweasley]

Haven’t you been doing that my whole life? I have the pictures to prove it, you know. (she teased, smiling up at him) Something besides the lovely note and song this morning? (she grinned) Pray tell, Edward.

[lupinsted]

Well this time it will be willingly. I was only forced to be your friend. I never really liked you until about a year ago. [ laughs, nodding ] Yes, something more than those things. [ shakes his head ] Nope, it's a bit of a surprise. To get it, you're going to have to meet me for dinner tonight. 

[shininglike-victoireweasley]

Perhaps you’ll have to see me grow old before you can make that decision. (looking down, she pushed a stray piece of hair from her face, before looking up when she heard his laughter. Laughing herself, she shook her head.) No, it was quite lovely, really. Once that bloody owl of yours left and Allete calmed down, I was able to read your note.

Thank you again, for that.

[lupinsted]

Well I don't plan on going anywhere. I'll be here watching you age with grace. [ smiling as she spoke, he looked down shyly as she brought up the note he had sent her, shaking his head lightly. ] Don't mention it. It was... You know, it's your birthday. I can't not send something. Which, reminds me... I do have something for you. If you'd like it, of course. 

[secondpotter]

You know, in my second year I pledged to make at least one forth of the Great Hall a 24/7 all you can eat seafood buffet.

…don’t think I regret not keeping that one. Can you imagine the smell? Or what Peeves would have done to the school by the end of the first hour?

[lupinsted]

I don't really care what Peeves would do. Now I want seafood. 

[shininglike-victoireweasley]

(not entirely sure how to respond as he fixes her hair, she returns the hand that was inspecting her ‘grays’ to her side, grinning at him as she purses her lips together) We’ll see if those thoughts still hold true when I’m old enough to be a grandma. But, thank you, again. (as his fingers fell to her cheek, her blue eyes flicked up to his, searching them, but as his hand drops, so do her eyes) Yeah… I guess you could try to say that. Towards the end there, Allete was trying to harmonize. 

[lupinsted]

[ he shrugs, shaking his head lightly ] We'll see, but I doubt they'll change. [ he blushes as she thanks him, lips opening and closing awkwardly before he decides to just smile at her. He sees her eyes drop and bites his lip, glancing away, feeling both shy and awkward for a moment, but he laughs as she brings up her dog singing with his owl. ] That must have been a dreadful way to start your birthday.

[peterrushman]

Anyone want to confess to putting fireworks in the suits of armour?

[lupinsted]

Highly doubt they'll come right out and say it, Pete.

❤:A brief explanation of how my muse feels about yours.

Adelaide Vaisey reminds Teddy of sunshine. She's bright and sweet and he thinks she's downright adorable. While many teenage girls tend to be beinsecure or bitchy in his belief, she has always crossed him as pure charm and joy and he likes to gravitate towards her. She breaks him from work and moments of grim fear all because of what could be awaiting everyone on the horizon, solely by being a doe eyed and funny girl. She's fun and she's sweet, and she reminds him of that pure and joyful innocence that came with being a Puff. Something he would admit, he misses a lot when he realizes how many years its been since living in those warm cozy basements.
