it's your finger and how I'm wrapped around it

Ted Tonks. Muggleborn, and quite proud of it. Husband of Andromeda Tonks, father of Nymphadora, and ex-Hufflepuff. Working in the Beings division of the Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, though he'd much rather be at home with his family. Honest, family-oriented, and kind. Avid fan of Arsenal and the Wimbourne Wasps, in that order.

Though Giuliano gracefully fulfilled the role of Prince of Youth that Medici propaganda had assigned to him, he was no empty-headed playboy. Like his older brother he had a passion not only for sport but for philosophy and letters, as his correspondence with the philosopher Marsilio Ficino reveals. Miles J. Unger

Ted: You're rich.

Andromeda: I'm not rich. My parents are rich.

Ted: Okay. You know what? Only rich people say that.

Happy 35th Birthday Bradley James!

As an actor, when you go for auditions, there are certain roles that come along and you think, ‘I really want that one,’ and Prince Arthur was definitely one of those.

Do you like spontaneity or do you like routine?

Ah, a little of both, I think. Once you have a kid you sort’ve rely on routine to keep you sane, and to keep the kid sane. But spontaneity’s what keeps life interesting, so I wouldn’t wanna go without it for long.

-is much more relaxed now that she’s clean and therefore much more amiable and pushes lightly on his chest- Amazing. -turns to Dora and walks over to kiss on her cheeks obnoxiously while Dora keeps trying to push her away- And thank you, little nymph, for keeping Daddy in line. Be lost without us, wouldn’t he? -finally steps away and sits down to eat, definitely having to stop a couple times to pull bits of lettuce from Dora’s hair as she’s telling stories of the garden gnomes and then BAM it’s after dinner- I’ll clean up. Go and get ready for bed, Dora. Think after today’s excitement, Daddy can only do one story. -Dora starts to protest, lip all jutting out and Dromeda holds up a finger- Ah. One story. We’re meant to go to Charlie’s tomorrow, remember? So one. -looks up at Ted- One.

-thoroughly enjoys hearing all the details of their day, mainly from Dora’s perspective, but is also distinctly distracted throughout dinner by his wife, who he keeps staring at for such long stretches of time that he’s the last to finish eating and is scarfing down his last few bites when Dromeda makes her announcement, just setting down his fork when she gives him the look and says One, to which he grins only long enough for Dromeda to see, before quickly frowning and turning to Dora at the same time that she turns her pout to him- I know, love, I know. -brushes his finger over her cheek as she comes over to him- I hate it too. But mum’s right, you’ve been fighting gnomes all day and have Charlie’s tomorrow. It’s a one story sort’ve night. -scoops her up, which makes her squeal happily, and turns to Andromeda- Alright, night mum! -Dora says night and they do kisses I’m sure and then Ted gives Andromeda one last ~knowing~ look before heading off to do one bedtime story, which he does and it lasts longer than he wanted but eventually he walks out of the room and shuts Dora’s door quietly and starts poking around to find Andromeda-

mrsdromedatonks‌:

-rolls her eyes (but is mildly amused tbh) and eyes the mess thats happening, hesitating at the state of everything before trusting that he’ll have it all clean by the time she gets back so goes and takes a shower, taking a bit longer than she said she would and when she steps out, the smell of dinner hits her nose so she gets dressed and comes out to everything clean- Well, I see I’ve gotten my family back. And just in time for dinner from the smell of things. -walks up to Ted and kisses his cheek softly, talking low- Thank you.

-was running around wildly to get everything (and everyone) cleaned and dinner prepared during her shower, but really it was still pretty graceful cause he’s dang good at this dad thing, probably playing with Dora the whole time and getting her to help and stuff, so when Dromeda comes out Dora is sitting at her seat at the table with a big grin on her face and goes, ‘/I/ set the table!’ when Dromeda thanks Ted, and he turns and points at her- That’s right, and tossed the salad. Couldn’t’ve done it without you. -turns to Andromeda with a big grin, kissing her on the lips quickly but sweetly- How was your lonely shower, then?

[teddy-t]

mrsdromedatonks‌:

-just sort of “hmph”’s against his lips and is actually starting to reconsider her shower when the door opens and Dora’s running meets her ears and she leans back, hands still on his chest when Dora bursts into the room; eyebrows immediately shooting up at the state of her daughter and she turns that very unimpressed expression on Ted, eyebrows raising a smidgen higher when she catches his expression and CLEARS HER THROAT at him to get his attention and then removes herself from his embrace, one hand on her hip, the other gesturing between the two monsters- Looks like work is calling, love. I’m nipping off to my shower. 

-turns to look at Dromeda when she clears her throat and raises his eyebrows at the look on her face, realizing before she says anything how DONE she is, and makes a small, sad sound of disappointment when she unwraps herself from him, frowning but his eyes are glinting with amusement as she steps back- Fine. Enjoy your shower, mum. I’ll be here wrestling this gnome monster to find our daughter again. -winks at her, then turns to Dora, the two of them both getting into some weird wrestling stance and growling at each other, Dora looking especially intimidating as she turns her hair a bright red, and Ted laughs as he roars on his way to scooping up the child, getting himself completely covered in muck in the process-

mrsdromedatonks‌:

-kisses back for a l o n g moment before breaking away just slightly, a little breathless and talking against his lips- You’re cheating and you know it. -tugs a bit at the front of his shirt to close the distance again, stopping just before pressing her lips to his again- And you’re also cutting into valuable shower time for me. -kisses him again-

-grins against her lips, mumbling- Shh, s’worth it. -then starts kissing her deeply again, his hand on her hip slipping beneath the hem of her shirt just as the sound of their back door opening meets his ears, and the pitter patter of little feet makes him groan in the back of his throat, breaking away just as Dora rushes into the room, covered in mud, yelling, “RAWR, I AM THE GNOME QUEEN!” to which he simply stares, a breathless, entertained grin on his face as he looks between his daughter and his wife, still holding Andromeda as closely as he’d been during the kiss, mumbling finally- Oh, sweet Merlin...

[teddy-t]

mrsdromedatonks‌:

-grins a bit more when he pulls her in closer, forever unable to resist her dumb husband, leaning back into his space just close enough- That’s for you to figure out, my love. 

-grins at her temptation, then reaches a hand up and slides it along her jaw, into the back of her hair where he tangles his fingers as he leans his head down, catching her lips in a fairly deep, romantic kiss; he starts it out relatively slow, though, gripping her hip a bit tighter before kissing her with a bit more passion-

[teddy-t]

mrsdromedatonks‌:

There’s a bit of smarts in there somewhere. At least…there was when I agreed to marry you. I know you can figure out how to convince our little nymph to forgo multiple stories tonight. -grins because she’s teasing and very lightly rocks her hips forward into his teasingly after he kisses her cheek and then takes a step back- And who knows, I could suddenly be in the mood for a quick shower right now and a warm bath later.

-scoffs a light laugh at her dig, smirking deeply and cocking his head at her when she rolls her hips because he knows those tactics, grinning and raising his eyebrows at her last comment- Oh, could ya? -slides his arms further around her hips, pulling her in closer, and continues to smirk while glancing at her lips- Anything I could do t’fully sway you to that plan?

[teddy-t]

mrsdromedatonks‌:

-laughs softly, rolling her eyes just slightly- I think you’ll do it because you love me and no other reason. -grins a bit more when he pulls her in closer and hums very softly against his lips, pulling back just enough so she can kiss him quickly again before looking up at him- Tempting, but I think alone sounds better while you look after our little monster. -smooths her hands up to his chest and pats him lightly- Maybe after dinner we can have alone time for us.

-scoffs and looks all appalled that she didn’t agree to his offer, smirking and kind of relaxing his hips against her body (pls i hope that makes sense) when she runs her hands up his chest, looking displeased but amused- Doesn’t sound too promising. ‘Know how ‘maybe after dinner’ goes... Dora asks for about fifteen bedtime stories and by the end of it, one’ve us is asleep. -pecks her on the cheek all sprightly- But I love ya anyway, dear.
