narcissablvxk:

A laugh and a nod followed his words. “Yeah I’ll give you that. I do hate maths.” She paused, looking at him with pursed lips. “Well, Tyler, I guess you aren’t as much of a nerd as I had thought you were. Good job.”

“Thank you. That means a lot to me.” He wasn’t sure how to respond to any of this, and actually he wasn’t even sure how he had managed to get even a little bit of . . . respect? He was probably going to ruin it as soon as he spoke again and while he didn’t care so much because of Narcissa herself, Meda was constantly in the back of his mind.

“Yeah but sometimes getting dirty is just as fun.” Benjy joked as he wiped his face off with his clean sleeve. “Oh I garauntee that it won’t happen at our next game. I would say  have I ever let you lot down before…but… not gonna.” 

“You sound about six years old when you say that,” Ted said in a tone that was as mature sounding as he could manage - not that he could manage it for long. “If you say so. I would never say you let us down, if that makes you feel any better.”

“In all my seven years at Hogwarts, I don’t think I’ve ever been down to see where the kitchens were.” Mafalda shrugged, tucking her hair behind her hair. “I’d love too, but don’t house elves have a habit of being quite the blabbermouths?” 

“Nah, the house elves are great. They might talk a lot to you but it’s not like they’ll go around telling your secrets or anything. At least, they never told any of mine and I’m in the kitchens at least once a day. Perks of being a Hufflepuff.”

tiberism:

     “i kind of got that part,” tiberius grinned, not at all frustrated at the other’s struggle to explain. he was patient – something he inherited off his father. “that’s amazing. very useful. we should have those here.” it was careless, being this visibly exuberant over something muggle when he was surrounded with the children of the highest calibre. but it was hard to contain his excitement – that was his problem, one he would need to grow out of.  “i know it would help keep together all my notes! not that i need it, i’m actually quite tidy but … but i know some individuals who would really benefit from it.”

“Glad to be helpful.” Ted laughed, although he was glad that his feeble attempts to explain hadn’t been completely useless. It was so unusual to see a pureblood actually interested in Muggle things and he couldn’t keep from replying, “Oh, I hadn’t thought about bringing a stapler with me but I did bring pens and pencils. Writing with quills drives me crazy. Maybe I’ll ask my parents to send one though. I know a few people who could use it too.”

narcissablvxk:

“Do you think actually doing it would be more enjoyable?” She giggle, a hand hovering over her mouth. “You’re a proper nerd Tyler.” 

“That’s not actually what I said. But you know, it beats maths so I don’t mind so much.” He shrugged, wondering how exactly she could be related to Meda; but they were related so he was going to be polite.

fenjybenjy:

“Okay, you know what Tonks, I don’t need commentary from the Peanut gallery.” Benjy replied while trying to fight back a grin. He was joking obviously. “I was running and fell a few times… and then I flew andfell a few times into the mud, no big deal.”

“I’m just saying, Fenwick, the point of both running and flying is to stay out of the mud. Especially flying.” Laughing, Ted stretched and ran a hand through his hair. “Better not do any of that at our next game.”

xenolovegood:

“Thank you and thank you,” xe chuckled. “Was she?” xe asked, hoping he didn’t notice the way his eyes lit up at the mention of her name. “Thanks for letting me know. I’m sure I’ll see her around; we have a few classes together.”

“Anytime.” He waved the compliments off, nodding earnestly. “Yeah but she said the same thing, about seeing you in class. Are you doing anything special today?”

[thebadgerted]

narcissablvxk:

Narcissa sighed and narrowed her eyes slightly at the boy who responded to her before nodding with an exasperated sigh. “Well considering I don’t do my own, and had to pretend I was, yeah. It sure did.”

Ted wasn’t sure what to think of that, and he was sure that it was a mistake to attempt to talk to Narcissa Black. She was never going to like him, unless there was a miracle of some kind, but it was too late to change anything now. “I guess I can see how pretending to do homework wouldn’t be fun.”

professor-flint:

Eli followed the young man’s gaze downward to the guitar. “Ah, I see. Well, I don’t think the middle of the hall is a good place, Mister Tonks.”

“You’re probably right, Professor. I’ll go look for a classroom or something,” he said, grinning sheepishly. “Do you have class coming up soon?”

[thebadgerted]

fenjybenjy:

“So… Is there a quidditch players anonymous?” Benjy asked as he tried to wipe his dirt covered face clean, but only spread the mud all over. “If there isn’t, I should start one because I have a feeling I’ll be needing to go in like ten years.” 

“Looks like you need a shower more than a club. What happened?” Ted grinned, folding his arms as he eyed Benjy.

[thebadgerted]

professor-flint:

“No, I don’t think I can help you with that…what is it you’re trying do?”

“Oh - er I was - I was just . . .” Ted shrugged, running a hand through his hair and glancing down at the guitar by his feet. “Looking for a place to practice?” It was a good excuse, if not precisely the truth. He was actually looking for Meda, but that wasn’t important.

tiberism:

     “ out of curiosity, ” tiberius began, leaning over to the individual opposite him after a rather lengthy daydream. “ what’s a stapler? it’s a muggle object but I can’t remember if it was – erm – something used in schools or … what it does. ”

“A stapler? It’s used to - to staple things,” Ted said, bemused as he tried to think of a better explanation. “They attach papers together with little metal clips.”

Xeno hummed to xemself as xe adjusted xir hair in the mirror. “I’m a strong believer you should look your best everyday, but you only turn seventeen once.”

“Happy birthday! You look pretty good, no need to worry there,” Ted said with a grin. “I think Pandora was looking for you earlier maybe?”

narcissablvxk:

“Nothing will make you miss home more than sitting uncomfortably for an hour pretending to do your own homework,” Narcissa mumbled to herself as she rolled her eyes. 

Ted generally subscribed to the attitude that homework at Hogwarts was just automatically cool; it wasn’t math and that was all that mattered. But to someone who had grown up with magic, he could see how it might lose the appeal. “Homework takes the fun out of a lot of stuff, doesn’t it?”

gideondprewett:

“You see, this is why you’re so great, you just get me,” Gideon chuckles as he pats Ted’s arm, “Hey, need a wee? Cos I’ve got a funny feeling we should duck into the boy’s lav right about now.”

“I try,” Ted said grinning back at Gideon. His expression slipped a bit at the question. “Do I - what?” It took a minute to process but as soon as he did, he began nodding vigorously; he knew better than to argue with a Prewett. “Yeah, you know, I do. Let’s get out of here then.”

pettigreww:

Peter looked up, somewhat startled —– he really ought to talk less to himself, if he wanted to be caught talking to himself less. “Ah, cheers. And I know, right? Bloody impossible, that’s wha’ it is. Wish I knew a charm for it or somethin’.”

“Is there a charm for it? You’d think someone would have come up with that by now.” If they had, Ted had never heard of it. “I just get Amos to do it though, he’s pretty handy with it. You on your way to a class?”
