Train Station.

"closer teddy" her aunt was picky about 'loving' photos. His uncle wrapped a arm around his ratty t-shirt. His aunt clicked the camera once more, another flash erupting his eyesight, it almost seemed to sting. He was wearing a t-shirt and robe, his best "muggle" attire.

Completley Stupid.

He tried to smile as the hair on his back stood up once more, he fidgited, trying to block out the annoying muggles, the muggles who insisted to stare, to poke, walk away, laugh at. He hated almost all of them, except two. They one with the arm around his shoulders, and the one flashing a camera in his eye. His aunt and Uncle. He wished he'd been kinder this year, he'd been bansihed from christmas, back barely in time for valentine's day, without a word where he'd been, he'd hear his aunt crying from horror some nights when Teddy forgot to cover his foot prints, he tried again to smile, pushing the memories out of his mind, looking right up at the 9 sign of Kingsley Train Station. Teddy wondered how he would leave them this time. How he could break her heart again. All his life, all he coud remember of his aunt, is her trying to make him "fit in" trying to make him "a normal boy in a normal school" it was sick, disgusting her feeble attempts to comb his hair, post muggle band posters in his room, brag to her firends how much 'muscle' he had, her muggle friends. He gave attempt after attempt of real smiles, even practicing in his room before they reached kinglsey station. He felt someone tug on his robe, and to his horror, just who his mother was dying to meet, his future father- in law, another hald were wolf, just like him. Bill's hair was untidy, unkept, his robes was torn and his face pale, covered in "battle wounds" he would call them, his eyes looked empty, but loving looking down at Teddy.
"There's my son" He said, swooping Teddy into a hug"And you must be.."
"Bill, you mist keeep your deestance," Fluer, Mrs. Weasly inturrupted, she looked towards Teddy's aunt "You must forgive hees orrible orrible manners, we are the weasly's" She looked behind her, and to continue his embarassment, and fluch of color in his cheeks, the girl of the hour walked from behind her. "Forgive her, she ees jsut too shy"
"Hello" Victorie mused. She nodded to each of his aunt and uncle gently, even curtsying. Her robes seemed new,
she must've gotten them from the alley just this week
"Teddy" She welcomed, she started to nodd then pause, Teddy straightened up, trying to wipe the sheepish lovestruck gaze he had for her. She wrapped her arms around her neck and gave him the hug he wanted all summer, he didn't hesitate this time, he wrapped her around in a hug also, his arms encircling her back, it looked like he was finally just the right size for her, instead of swallowing her
thank god, seven years it took
"I missed you Teddy" She whispered. Teddy squeezed her tighter, spinning her around. Until her landed her gently on the station floor
"She's my girlfriend" Teddy announced proudly
"Best friend." Victoried corrected
Teddy hung his head low
of course, i'm always the best friend... i'm probably going to be the best man at this point...
Teddy felt pain grip his heart.
i can't let that happen
