“Shooting star, make a wish.”

“Can we both make a wish or do they then cancel each other out?” she wondered aloud after a moment, closing her eyes. “Wouldn’t want to be rude and steal the wish.”

“Nah, I keep making the same wish. I’m boring.” He smiled looking into her eyes then down at their hands as they finally pulled apart and sighed. “It is beautiful.”

“The same wish?” Andromeda asked curiously, turning her gaze to him once more. “It must be a terribly good one if you keep wishing it. Maybe this will be your lucky night,” she mused, giving a small wink.

“It’s what I want more than anything.” He felt his grin falter as he looked at the ground “But it’s selfish, and extremely unlikely to ever come true.”

Ted just continued to keep himself from saying anything not having the energy to fight today but also not in the mood to be told once again how little purpose he had in this hospital and this world. Apparently his ability to be here really offended her for some reason so he would at least try to be polite about it.. For now.

“You know what you’re doing, and that does sound like the flu but I’ll still look.” He said still walking with her “Poor kid, that isn’t fun. And he’s here because this is his hospital, we can help him why should he have to go to a muggle hospital? Even though their doctors are also more than equip to deal with this.” Ted had to stop himself before he said something to piss them both off, he was just in one of those moods today. It was rare for him, but once he really was angry the slightest things could set him off.

“Well how kind of you, ignoring that I’m muggle-born. Thank you really.” He rolled his eyes and huffed, refusing to make eye contact with her at this point. “You know what, it’s best for the kids so I’ll forget who you are too while we’re here. And your sister is my friend, nothing more so calm yourself. Although I won’t say you were… Not a complete bitch if you don’t want me to.”

        ❝Thank you. I really appreciate it.❞ She really did. She might not like it, she might not like him, but he was here and he would help her treat a kid. There was nothing bad to say about that. Sure, if there were someone else available she would have picked them. But there was not, so the both of them had to suck it up. By now she was well aware that he disliked her as much as she disliked him. And understandably so. It was hard to like a person that disliked you.                     She frowned on his words for a second. She figured that the muggle hospital would be better equipped  for diseases like the flu, but that was because this hospital’s main point was treating magical injuries. There was nothing magical about the flu. ❝Actually, I believe that the muggles would have handled this one better. More experience and all that. Our main focus is not the regular diseases like they know them so well.❞ She knew muggles weren’t dumb. They just didn’t know magic and found their way around anyway. There was genius in that, too. A weird kind.                 And then he pissed her off again. ❝I didn’t say the word. That was you. You did it.❞ Muggle-born. That was the word, the word Narcissa refused to say. ❝Your sister is my friend, are you actually serious? I don’t care what you are from my sister. She knows as well as I do that your - whatever the hell it is - is not allowed in our family. Now, I didn’t make the rules. All I have to do is listen to everyone whine about her being around you.❞ She had to take a breath now. She stood still and faced him, frowning deeply. ❝I’m pissed because I have to defend her all the time. Not because of you personally.❞ She bet he was a perfectly lovely boy. Just not for her sister.

“Really, no need to thank me.” Ted sighed looking at her. It wasn’t her fault her was treated horribly all day and he knew better than to be rude. They may not be friends in any form of the definition, but she had not outwardly treated him poorly. The attitude was unprofessional and he knew it. “For the kids, I’ll help you any time.”

Again, he had jumped to conclusions and given her an attitude about it but he was having a rough day. He deserved to be the cranky one for a change. That did not stop him from nodding at her words though, they were true. “A muggle hospital probably could treat this better, we’re never really taught about these simple illnesses. I just learn from experience.” It had been Ted’s dream as a child to work in a muggle hospital and become a doctor, but Hogwarts hadn’t really prepared him for medical school.

Ted tried to bite his tongue, he really did, but it was just too many times in one day. “And if you ever call me anything other than my name we’re going to have a problem.” He said sharply, “Oh so your sister is the one in the wrong? Maybe you should tell your family who Andromeda decides to be friends with isn’t up for them to allow. But you’re more important to her than I am, if it’s really what’s best for her... I’ll leave her alone.”

“I’m sure it’s an amazing wish.” Ted smiled, shaking his head as he stared at her. His eyes widened slightly as she took his hand, his heart skipping a beat as he looked at her and thought of his own wish. He closed his eyes and gently squeezed her hand back

“I’m positive yours is better,” she admitted with a laugh once they’d made their wishes. The brunette tilted her head back to look up at the stars, moving her hand from his to steady herself as she leaned back. “It is a beautiful night, isn’t it? Almost makes the night shifts worth it.”

"Nah, I keep making the same wish. I'm boring." He smiled looking into her eyes then down at their hands as they finally pulled apart and sighed. "It is beautiful."

[tedwarddtonks-blog]

Ted followed after her silently as he looked around the hospital. He just stared at the floor as he walked, he wasn’t too crazy about talking to her either but the kids were more important than some silly grudge.

“Alright, lead the way.” Ted nodded with a sigh as he kept walking, still trying his hardest not to say anything to her. He knew what she thought of him, what a lot of people thought of him but he tried not to let it interfere with his work.

“Okay, what are his symptoms?” He asked walking with her, rattling off questions. “It probably is just the flu, it’s been going around but better to make sure.” The flu wasn’t fun, he himself had gotten it when he was 8 and it was an awful experience. “And how long had he been showing them?” He added and opened the door to the stairs for her when they got to them. “I’m just surprised my presence itself isn’t worsening your mood Black.”

           She really was not in the mood to bite her tongue and not to snap at him every chance she got. And he was making it so easy on her. But on the other side, he was probably trying really hard to be friendly here. He might not belong, he might not be in her league, but he was helping her with this kind. “Right? It’s always better to make sure,” she answered. She actually was about to say I know it’s probably just the flu, I’m not an idiot but somehow knew better than that. Andromeda should be so very proud of her for not hexing her damn mudblood friend.             Shooting a look aside as they walked onto the right floor, Narcissa crossed her arms in front of her chest and listened to him rant. “His mom said his temperature was already high two days ago but he didn’t seem to be doing too bad,” she answered. You’d think that people would go to a regular hospital with their kids for this kind of thing, but then again, they probably wouldn’t be able to find a regular hospital and the muggles would’ve thought them to be weird. Muggles were weird was really the problem. “Apparently he had been throwing up for a day. He’s done his share of throwing up here as well.” Luckily it was a nurse he had been throwing up over. “High temperature, fever, can’t keep food down are his main symptoms.”               His last remark made her smirk a little bit. “I’m wholefully ignoring who you are until you’ve helped me with this kid. Actually, I’m going to ignore the whole concept of you being someone I dislike during hospital hours. I’ll get pissed at you again when I hear another rumour about you and my sister. Until then we’re good.” Her friends weren’t going to like it, and she didn’t per se like the idea either. It wasn’t ideal. But they both worked here and had a common purpose. And besides, her friends didn’t have to know. “I’ll still hex you if you tell Dromeda. Don’t kid yourself.”

Ted had wanted to be a healer for kids since he was about five years old. Well, not a healer, he had wanted to be a doctor until he started Hogwarts but considering he only knew up to a ten year old knowledge of biology, this was the second best thing. And he was qualified, maybe even better than some of these pureblood healers that were always in his face but there was always going to be that parent who didn’t want the muggle-born treating their child. It did leave him some free time today as several parents flat out refused his help, which honestly had only put him in a sour mood. A mood that had only worsened when Narcissa Black walked in.

Ted had to bite his tongue for a minute, trying to stop himself from saying something he would regret later. Why did Andy’s sisters have to be so awful? “Yeah whatever.” He took a breath and looked up at her “Who’s the kid? Show me where he is and I’ll come look at him.”

[ycungestblack-deactivated201604]

                   She could have been worse, she figured. She could have refused to talk to him, something she had done until now but never actually was a problem because why would she even talk to him? but now she had to. She could have refused to work with him. But this kid was sick and she was not about to let the kid die because she got it wrong and was too stubborn to ask for a second opinion. So that wasn’t going to happen either. Edward Tonks was stuck with her.                   “Sure, come with me.” She heard his very hostile undertone, one she couldn’t really blame him for, and tried to try a more friendly tone. She could be mean to him again after he confirmed her patient wasn’t actually in life treatening danger. And it wasn’t like she was publicly displaying her love for muggleborns. Being polite might actually help her. - Yes, she had to talk herself into this, because she found it that hard. She gestured towards him and already walked the opposite direction, looking back after a few seconds to see if he followed her.                    This was still very uncomfortable, though. “His name is Thomas and he has two very worried parents. I suspect it’s just the flu but it could be something worse.” Since they couldn’t treat the flu like some magical disease, it was fairly common with everyone as well. She had the flu when she was four. “We’re heading to the third floor,” she went on and shot a look to the side, towards him. “Thank you for not worsening my mood, Tonks.”

Starter for @tedwarddtonks.

         She didn’t dislike working with kids. Parents were worried, usually too worried, since there was nothing that couldn’t be fixed. Not by Narcissa Black. However, if she had a choice, she would choose not to work with kids. She was barely a grown up herself and she could feel the parents look at her wondering if she even knew what she was doing. They didn’t know who she was. And they, however no one, knew what she was capable off.

           Someone might be about to find out, though. While the parents were putting the kid to sleep that she had just treated, the little boy was staying overnight for observation, she had to go find herself a second opinion. She checked and the only children’s healer available was Edward Tonks. Freaking mudblood. But that wasn’t even the thing that bothered her the most. It was the freaking mudblood. The one Andromeda was spotted with a lot lately.            She crossed him in the hallway when she was actually on her way to find him. Usually she would ignore him, with grace of course, but today she simply stopped him from walking and glared at him for a few seconds.  ❝I’m having a bad day and you don’t get to make it worse, do you hear me?❞ she snapped at him.  ❝I have a kid. I mean, I don’t have a kid, but I have this kid. He’s upstairs and I need a second opinion and you’re the only one available.❞

“Shooting star, make a wish.”

tedwarddtonks:

“Is it a good one?” he grinned, just watching her as he held back a chuckle. “I’m ready.”

“It’s a silly one, but it’d make me happy,” she admitted sheepishly before taking his hand. Andromeda had never been one to wish on stars, though Narcissa had gone through a phase. During that time she always insisted on grabbing Andie’s hand and squeezing as she made her wish. Subconsciously the habit had stuck. “Okay, one, two, three,” she said squeezing her eyes shut as she gave his hand a squeeze.
