Good Guy

Ted Tonks, Seventh year Hufflepuff, Beater

[andromedablvck]

You and your kind make me sick!

I should have known better, Bellatrix, my mother. Walden! They were all right. 

[newage-tedtonks]

Walden? What the Fuck has he got to do with this?

[andromedablvck]

You will refer to me as Andromeda, thank you. Not that you should be speaking to me at all..

I’m not interested in you anymore. Leave me alone, Edward.

[newage-tedtonks]

Andromeda, what happened? What did I do wrong?

Fine if that is what you want.

[alecmacmillan]

We should start a club– ah, shit. We’re leaving. We can’t.

[newage-tedtonks]

Damn, now how will we celebrate?

[pureblood-littleking]

Right. Thanks.

[newage-tedtonks]

No problem. Hey, have a good summer.

[millie-bagnold]

You’re too kind, Ted. How did you do?

[newage-tedtonks]

Ah the same as I always do. Bit I’m ready to celebrate.

[alecmacmillan]

That’s it! No more exams or school work or anything. You’re looking at a free man.

[newage-tedtonks]

Congrats from one free man to another.

[pureblood-littleking]

Not … [pauses, pursing his lips for a moment] Right. I suppose I do.

[newage-tedtonks]

The N.E.W.T.S are not as bad as everyone makes them out to be, you’ll be okay.

[pureblood-littleking]

Well, that’s nice for you then, isn’t it?

[newage-tedtonks]

You’ve got a whole year to enjoy it though.

[millie-bagnold]

Thank you! I can’t believe it Ted. It-It’s amazing! 

[newage-tedtonks]

I believe it, you are brilliant.

[pureblood-littleking]

But now you’re leaving it all behind. And who knows if you’ll ever see your friends here again?

[newage-tedtonks]

Now I’m not, I’m taking all with me. Everything I’ve learned every person I met, Hogwarts will always be home in a way.

[millie-bagnold]

*reads over her exam results* I did it! I can’t believe I did it! 

[newage-tedtonks]

Looks like they came out better then expected! You’re amazing Millie!

[andromedablvck]

[Andie tensed in his embrace and pulled away from him, scowling.] Don’t do that, you filthy mud… 

[Backs away from him.] Stay away from me.

[newage-tedtonks]

Wh-what? Andie, no.

[pureblood-littleking]

The end of something is never something to celebrate.

[newage-tedtonks]

I don’t think thats true. This place has given me the best time of my life, I think that is worth celebrating.

[pureblood-littleking]

What’s there to celebrate?

[newage-tedtonks]

The end and something new beginning.

[andromedablvck]

Nothing. Did you want something?

[newage-tedtonks]

Just this.

[pureblood-littleking]

[sitting outside in the courtyard by himself, listening to the sound of the shouts and cheers from inside]

[newage-tedtonks]

Not celebrating tonight?

[gritzelhurtz]

Sorry. I tend to just talk and talk without even realizing what’s coming out of my mouth when I’m nervous. It’s a terrible habit, honestly. I end up saying things that I shouldn’t and then I realize what’s happening but it’s too late to take it back because they’re words and you can’t just reach out and grab them and take them back once they’re spoke, and– [stops, taking in a deep breath, slowing down her speech then] Sorry. Everything that’s happening has got me a little on edge.

[newage-tedtonks]

Hey, hey its okay. Calm down. Do you need a hug, you seem like you need a hug.
