Reg couldnât stop himself from feigning a blank look for a moment, as though he was trying to remember which of his cousins had married such a bland man. There were only so many cousins he worked with, though, so it wasnât as if he could get away with a game of twenty questions. âIf you mean âMeda, Iâve not seen her since.. Iâm not sure. Itâs been busy.â As if that wasnât abundantly clear by the state of the waiting room, but he wasnât sure how well Terry or Tim or whatshisnameâs deductive reasoning worked.Â
His bored expression slipped into a slight smile when he caught sight of Nymphadora, though. Whatever unfriendliness heâd subject Andromedaâs poor choice of spouse to, he wasnât going to do the same to her daughter. âBut thereâs one of my cousins right there. Merlin, Dora, youâve gotten tall.âÂ

It was a bit obvious the man was snubbing him, it was even more apparent when he bypassed speaking to him directly and started talking to his daughter. Dora, being the outgoing people person she was was about to speak before her father cut her off. âCut the shite, Blackâ, Ted told Regulus before picking up Nymphadora. âJust tell me what floor sheâs on.â
  Sirius stared at the new brooms that had just been released. There were moments where he considered it. He considered trying out for a team and see where that took him. He had been decent during his years at Hogwarts after James had convinced him to give it a shot. Yet, that meant tying himself to one thing. Sirius wasnât ready for that type of commitment yet and what if he grew to hate it. He was so busy in his own thoughts that when a voice called to him, he jumped slightly. âBlimeyâ donât go around scaring people like that!âÂ
x
When Sirius jumped, Ted did as well. Clasping his hand over his heart he pulled in a few deep breaths. âMeâ, he asked, his voice cracking like a prepubescent. âYou nearly gave me a heart attack!â
âName and manner of injury?â Regulus was many hours into a shift that still had many hours left, his patience having worn thin three biting teacups and six biting textbooks ago. He was starting to look about as frayed as he felt, sleeves on his white coat shoved up and empty coffee cups stacked on the desk behind him. âQuickly, now, thereâs a full waiting room behind you.â
x
âOh uhâ, Ted scratched the back of his neck nervously. He was always nervous when it came to interacting with any of the Blacks aside from Sirius or his wife. âActually, Iâm looking for your cousinâ, he confessed innocently, gripping Doraâs hand a little tighter as if Regulus would steal her away from him. âMy wife.â
âGoblins. Little shits.â The brunette grumlbed as she thundered through the doors of Gringotts, letting the large doors bang shut behind her. She had a bit of a reputation at work. She detested the goblins, and really would adore to be out in the field, collecting cursed objects. But no, she was here, having to deal with the goblins. Of course some of the actual humans she worked with were like goblins too. But, she decided to keep that fact to herself for now.
She sighed, pausing at the top of the stairs and just taking a breath. She had gotten fed up, and ended up out here a little before she actually needed too. And now, she had some free time before her actual appointments this afternoon. So, she was a little stuck on what exactly to do.

It was Tedâs day off so as any good house husband, he chose to spend most of the day running errands for the family. It was the least he could do seeing as it was his wife, Andromeda, who was the bread winner. Lovely woman, Dromeda. Not only was she content with being his, miraculously, but also content with his low paying apprenticeship. Though Ted did tend to feel guilty.
Looking down at the shopping list in his hands, the man mumbled the items to himself as to not forget any, something he tended to do. In fact, he was so enraptured in the list that he wasnât paying attention to where he was going until his shoulder knocked with another's. âBlimey Iâm sorryâ, his words fell away quickly as he looked up realizing it was his estranged sister-in-law heâs collided with. He stood starring, a bit of fear preventing his limbs from moving.
â ââ Her brows rose up before she simply nodded. âWhy not something more muggle,â she asked as she leaned against the counter. âNot that youâd find any of that here.â She looked about the shop. âBut I do know where you could find some.â
x
It wasnât that he had anything against the muggle world, in fact he quite missed it some times. But he didnât often get the chance to visit it much anymore. âThatâs be brilliantâ, he said with a smile. âShe doesnât have many muggle items. It might be a good change of pace.â
â ââ Carefully, Mary stood back to her feet and tucked the book that she had picked up in her arms. âYouâre not a bother,â she replied and she placed the book back on the shelf where it was supposed to go. She tilted her head at his question and then pointed up the stairs. âUp there, to the left. By the window,â she said with a nod. âWe got a new copy of the Beedle and the bard. The cover is pretty even if itâs not my favorite book of fairy tales.â
x
Before he could stop himself heâd already shook his head no. Realizing that he might have come across as rude the man began to backtrack. âI mean, sheâs just already got a copy. From her mom. Is there anything else you might suggest?âÂ
Where: Florean Fortescueâs Ice Cream Parlor
Who: Ashlyn & Open
There was nothing worse than being pregnant in the summer. It somehow seemed hotter then any other summer, and all she wanted was to sit in a cold shower or go swimming. But instead she had to spend her days in the Prophet office, or out on assignment taking pictures. She was trying her best to save every Sickle and Galleon she earned for things for the baby, but time was going so much quicker then she could have imagined. It was already August, and her baby would be here before she knew it. She had popped into the second hand store after work and she had found a few things in there, and then she decided that she deserved to treat herself, so she stopped at Florean Fortescueâs Ice Cream shop for some ice cream to hopefully cool off. Getting into line behind someone, she smiled brightly. âWhat are you getting? I always try something new so Iâm looking for suggestions!â
x
Ted patiently waited with hands in his pocket and rocking from the balls of his feet to his heels, then back again. Heâd completely zoned out until there was a feminine voice that spoke up behind him. For a moment he nearly thought it was Dromeda but turning around and spotting the blonde hair he was pleasantly surprised. âOhâ, Teddy looked to the woman and back to the board. âI quite like the clotted cream paired with the earl grey and lavender, but my little girl likes the sticky toffee.âÂ

â ââ The student rush only just finished and Mary looked about the book shop with a frown. They left a mess of the book and she was the only one there to clean it up. She combed her fingers through her curls to keep herself from screaming out her frustration with working in retail and knelt down to pick up one of the transfiguration books that had been left on the ground. The bell dinged as she shut the book carefully and examined the binding. âWelcome to Flourish and Blotts, where we have all everything you need for your studies,â she recited like the robot she felt and looked up at the other with a forced smile. âIf you need any help, Iâll be here. Playing maid.â

Ted gave the woman a small smile. It had been quite some time since heâd seen little Mary McDonald, though that was no oneâs fault but his own. Most people tried to have a life after graduating, he chose to get married and start a family. âI donât want to be a botherâ, he tried to shrug it off. But then it dawned on him, he didnât really know what he was looking for, or at least where to get it. âActually, where would I find the childrenâs section?â

â FAMILY and early life
Ted was born into an average muggle family. His father was an accountant and his mother was a nurse until his little brother came along unexpectedly forcing her to retire early and become a homemaker. He got his name from both his grandfathers, but seeing as he was far closer to his living grandfather Theodore he prefers to go by Ted rather then Ed. Heâs the middle child, having one older brother and one younger.
It came as quite a shock when Ted got his Hogwarts letter, as most of his family thought the only remarkable thing about him was how accident prone he was. Nevertheless his family was proud, especially his mother. This drove a wedge between Teddy and his older brother William. William had always been the perfect golden boy, and their motherâs favorite. But that all changed with Tedâs letter.
And as William began to fall from grace he began to act out. It wasnât long before Tedâs older brother was doing everything and anything to distance him from his little brother. This included drinking heavily and taking drugs. Williamâs actions put quite the strain on the family and every time school came around Teddy hated leaving his parents, whos marriage was crumbling, alone to deal with him.
Canons
Ted is fascinated by both herbology and magizooligy being as he grew up in the muggle world. He would have been a magizoologist if it wasnât for him loosing a few toes to a dugbog. After that he decided he was rather attached to his limbs.
Another one of Tedâs proficiencies is healing magic seeing as heâd rather accident prone.
While at Hogwarts Ted had quite the list of extracurriculars. He was a prefect and keeper on the quidditch team, eventually becoming head boy his seventh year and quidditch captain
The man can fall asleep pretty much anywhere.
Heâs a kind and gentle soul, not wanting to hurt much of anything. Even pests that munch on his plants. But he will protect the things he loves, even if he feels guilty afterwards.
After he graduated Ted made regular trips to Hogsmede to see Andromeda, seeing as her parents kept her under tight lock and key while she was home.
He hates that Andromeda had to choose between him and her family and tries to make it up to her every single day.
Loves being a father more then he loves his wife which he didnât think was possible.
âI suppose he is an ogre and those are real. Itâs not impossible that one has settled in the forest. I donât think heâd be anything like Shrek though.â
Ted looked around before moving a little closer to the girl, his face getting closer to herâs. âDonât take this the wrong way, but Hagrid, heâs part giant right? So why couldnât there be someone whoâs part ogre whoâs a lot like Shrekâ, he asked in a hushed voice.
