the story thus far —
Ted grew up a in the heart of London. The son of muggle doctors, he inherited his parents’ zest for life and energy. He always had the kind of brain that never seemed to turn off. He was always looking for a new challenge and something to keep him interested for longer than five seconds at a time.
Thanks to his parents busy careers, he was often left to entertain himself, usually turning towards impossible puzzles and learning new skills to keep himself busy. Before he found out he was a wizard who could do real magic, Ted learned how to do close-up, muggle magic. He found he was especially good with card tricks and sleight of hand. Even once he found out about the magical world, he still kept up with learning how to do card tricks entirely without magic, finding it to be impressive one way or another.
As Ted discovered the world of actual magic, he found himself fully immersed in an entirely new world. Even moreso he found himself drawn to Andromeda Black during his later years in primary. At the end, this relationship (if it could be called that) would result in an unexpected pregnancy.
At seventeen, Ted found himself a father. It was this daunting task of fatherhood and providing for a child that found Ted deciding to forgo the university experience and wanting to find work so that he could help provide for his daughter. Not only that, but Ted also knew the family Andromeda came from and wanted to do what he could to avoid Nymphadora inheriting those family values.
Though Andromeda stayed with her family, she and Ted found their own way to make things work when it came to co-parenting. They would often have secret liaisons and Ted himself kept his own daughter’s existence something of a secret. Few of his close friends knew, but for the most part, in an effort to protect Nymphadora, he decided that it was best to keep the circle as small as possible. It wouldn’t do to have the Blacks find out as they would surely see that he, Andromeda, and his daughter suffered consequences for this indiscretion, but even more for the intermingling of muggleborn and pureblood.
Over the years, Andromeda and Ted drifted apart, though he made sure to send regular correspondence to Nymphadora, especially once she started to read.
In the meantime, Ted found himself fascinated by the growing world of muggle and Wizarding technology and the overlap that was occurring as wizards borrowed from muggles to create their own versions of arcade games, cinemas, and even the iFlown.
Deciding that he was tired of working dead end jobs at shops, he pursued his education at the university level in the Fall of 1976, focusing on Charms. More specifically he had a plan to study magical methods of programming their technology, fascinated by the wizards superior method of communication via the iFlown.
Graduating in 1979, Ted found employment easily at a sort of magical junk shop where he serves as a repairman for various wizarding technologies, and even muggle ones and everything else in between. He hopes to eventually further his career by working for Quick Quotes HQ, but for now he contents himself with pulling apart old televisions and iFlowns and putting them back together in the hopes of creating something new.
