"Don’t let me die"/ "What if someone catches us?” / "Why yes, I am as think as you drunk I am."

"Don’t let me die"

Flashes of that first night when he found her in an alley way came back into his memory. She was weak and cold, muttering something that would later come to light in a dark and sinister way. He had held her in his arms like he did now, but he was the one who whispered, I won’t let you die to soothe her. Ted brushed a strand of hair away from her face, caressing her cheek as he squeezed her tighter,  ‘ I won’t. ’

"What if someone catches us?” 

He let his head hang down in thought. What would he do if someone catches them? If someone found Andromeda in his home, knowing what information she could already have told Dumbledore’s forces, would he run? Fight? Cower for mercy? No, this was bigger than him and his sense of security now. It was war, and everyone has a role in it whether they want it or not. His was to make sure Andromeda stayed alive until the end.  ‘ If someone comes, ’  he started, reaching out for her hand and looking at her with solemn eyes,  ‘ I want you to run. I need you to run, to the Bones’ or Sirius’ or even to a villa in France where you can contact someone from the Order. And when you do, don’t worry about me. ’

"Why yes, I am as think as you drunk I am."

He laughed along with her, tilting the remaining contents of his glass into his mouth. Ted had come home to find Andromeda half a bottle of gin deep with one of his Bowie records playing. Her only response to what are you doing was better catch up, and with every pour she gave him, he knocked back with a slight wince. Their dancing had turned into conversation, her suggesting a game of sharing information with one another.  ‘ Well, it sounds childish, ’  he placed the glass on the coffee table,  ‘ but we might as well get to know each other if we’re to live together, hm ? ’

"I think I broke it." - frank

Ted looked down at the shattered pieces of the vase on the floor.  ‘ You think ? ’  he raised his eyes to look back at the other, eyebrows raised. That vase looked antique and very very expensive, no doubt they would be in trouble if they were not wizards with wands and magic.  ‘ Be glad there’s a spell for this, ’  he said. 

[tcdwardtonks]

"Don’t you dare come near me!" ( from rita )

‘ It’s me --- it’s me ! It’s Ted. ’  He held his hands up to show his wandless hands and slowly approached her frantic figure.  ‘ It’s Ted. We went to Hogwarts together, we work together at the Daily Prophet. You’re one of my closest friends. ’  He inched toward her more, holding his hand out for her to take,  ‘ You’re okay, you’re safe. Everything is going to be alright. ’

[tcdwardtonks]

"I know your secret.” ( from rita )

‘ What secret ? ’  He cringed at his own response. What kind of idiot is he to tell Rita Skeeter, mistress of whispers, that he doesn’t have a secret. But also, how could she know that he was secretly harboring a Black Family Heiress believed to be dead in his flat. Only a few select Order members knew what was happening, and unless Rita wormed her way into one of their hearts, she was bluffing.  ‘ What secret do you think I have, Rita ? ’

[tcdwardtonks]

"Are you even listening to me?" ( from rita )

‘ Yes, of course. ’  He wasn’t. It had been such a long and stressful few sleepless days, that everything that tried to enter his mind turned into mush. He felt bad, it’s not like it’s Rita’s fault; and knowing her and her inquisitive nature, and the fact that she knows nearly everything about him, she’s bound to see past his poorly veiled facade. So better to rip the bandage off than let Rita peel it back slowly.  ‘ No, I wasn’t. ’

[tcdwardtonks]

"I already regret this."

That makes two of us, he thought. Outwardly, Ted grinned and beared it, knowing very well it could be way worse. It could be the other Lestrange twin he was conferring with, and Ted’s younger self thanked his lucky stars it wasn’t. At least they were in the public arena, a press conference of all things, which hopefully dissuaded Rodolphus from doing anything.

[tcdwardtonks]

"You owe me."

Ted took a step back, a wrong move in retrospect. He could see now that it was proof that he had an inkling of fear in his body, that it was the worst thing to show someone like them --- like Rodolphus Lestrange.  ‘ Um, ’  he thought for a moment, trying to think of what he could possibly say without being compliant or resistant.  ‘ I beg your pardon ? ’

[tcdwardtonks]

"This stays between us."

He brought his hands up in front of him to show his surrender.  ‘ Alright, ’  he breathed, leaning back with his body rigid. Ted didn’t mean to find out he just did, and even if he was a person with malice in his heart he wouldn’t dare to share that information, what with the GLARE Lily just gave him.  ‘ Merlin, how can someone so tiny be so threatening. ’

[tcdwardtonks]

"I already regret this."

‘ Don’t be, ’  he reassured her,  ‘ it’s just a simple feature profile on young Aurors. There’s no need to be nervous, you’re going to do fine. ’

What do you look for in a woman?

‘ Someone who knows what she wants and will fight for it, who has moments of kindness without thinking that it’s weak, someone who isn’t afraid to be vulnerable. And, ultimately, someone I connect to. ’

[tcdwardtonks]

Why?

‘ ... Why ... not ? ’

[tcdwardtonks]

thoughts on andromeda tonks?

‘ Sad. I don’t have sympathy for her, but she had so much potential and conviction. I still don’t believe that she’s okay sitting pretty ready to be just another society pureblood housewife. I don’t know if it’s because I read her wrong when we were still in school ... it’s just disappointing where she is now. And I know I have no right to say that I’m disappointed in her, but I am. ’

[tcdwardtonks]

What is something that you hope to pass down to your children one day?

‘ My genetics ? My sense of humor maybe ... or my wisdom if I had any. They’ll probably take after their mother more. ’

[tcdwardtonks]

Who would you die for?

‘ My mother, my father, my friends ... really anyone I love. ’

[tcdwardtonks]

If you weren’t a writer, what would you do?

‘ Isn’t that the million galleon question ?  I think I’d be doing whatever job I can to stay in the Wizarding world. You know it’s a little hard for a Muggleborn who isn’t extremely exceptional to find work, not to say that there aren’t those Muggleborns that have found fulfilling careers --- I happen to have fallen into that category over the years. It’s just that I wish I either found it earlier or that I was good at other things. ’ 

[tcdwardtonks]

have you ever wanted something you couldn't have?

‘ No ? I mean, I’m not a very ambitious person, but I have goals and aspirations and I think I’ve done a very good job at attaining those at my own pace and integrity. I’m usually a very content person. ’
