A/N: Hey everyone and welcome to my first HP fanfic! I'm super excited to be working on it and I hope you like it! R&R please! It would mean a lot to me if you did! I had to do a ton of research on the next generation before I could make this story possible. By the way, Rose is a sixth year and Hugo is a fifth year in this story. I've made sure that everyone has their age correct. Warning: Suggestive themes.

EAN: = Editing Author's Note. If you want full details, see the first chapter of my completed fic, The Story of Renesmee's Life. Now! I have changed up quite a bit with this work. First of all, it's not in first person anymore. It's in third. So some things might be a smidgen (Did you know that's actually a word?) different. Second, Hugo isn't a stereotypical emo child anymore. AT ALL. I got sick of the idea and abandoned it. As for Teddy … well, he's always had bright blue hair. ;]

Chapter 1: Who Ever Thought This Would Happen?

"Rose, will you just shut up?" Hugo, brother to Rose, said sarcastically. "I'm trying to listen to Senses Fail!" This was one of his favorite bands.

"Hugo, you shut it, I'm trying to talk to Teddy!" Rose whispered viciously. Returning to her conversation, she spoke to Teddy nonchalantly. "Yeah, it's just Hugo being his usual annoying self."

"I've never found him to be annoying," said Teddy, seemingly uninterested with the subject.

"Rose, Hugo, enough," Ron interjected, suddenly becoming interested in parenting the two teenage Gryffindors. "You've done enough bickering to annoy even You-Know-Who to death!"

"Voldemort's already dead," Hugo pointed out blandly. He had fun watching Ron shiver with fear at the use of the dead wizard's name.

The family was driving to The Leaky Cauldron, so they could get to Diagon Alley, and Rose was on her cell phone while Hugo was listening to his MP3 player. Normally they wouldn't have come across such Muggle-used items, but their Grandpa Arthur had given the things to them on Christmas a couple years back, insisting that they show him how to use them if they ever got a chance. It was rare that Ron would actually use the car, but somehow he had been convinced on this particular day.

Rose whispered when she resumed talking to Teddy once more. "So anyway, we were talking about Hugo and how he seriously needs to tell our parents about his so-called boyfri-"

"Shut up!" Hugo hissed, slapping his hand over his sister's mouth and grabbing her phone, flipping it shut.

"Who's what?" their father squeaked in surprise from the front seat, slamming on the breaks - luckily there was no one around - and turning his already slightly-trembling body towards the back of the car.

Hugo was looking shocked, betrayed, and most of all, seriously afraid. Rose was considering slapping his face so that he could move again, but quickly decided against it.

"Hugo… Is there something going on that I don't know about?" Ron asked, his ears turning bright red.

Hugo wasn't going to say anything - he was still too shocked and angry with Rose for blurting about his boyfriend to Teddy. And in front of his father, no less! Of course, she hadn't intentionally said it right then, but Teddy already knew and they had been talking about it before the family even left the house that day, so she kind of forgot about being in front of other people.

"Um, Dad…" Hugo began slowly, his voice shaking. He clearly hadn't been planning on telling his father about this anytime soon. "Uh… I'm … uh … I … I'm gay," he finally said in a rush, quietly and with a huge relief.

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you."

"Uh…"

Rose swept into the rescue for her poor little brother. "He said that he's gay."

Hugo turned his head and glared at her, but the look slowly changed into a glance of eternal thanks.

"Y-you-you're gay?" he asked in disbelief. "But ... but what happened to-"

"I was never dating Cecilia; she's just a good friend of mine," Hugo said, his voice slowly returning to its normal pitch.

"Th-then who are you… Oh, never mind," he mumbled. "But I'm not telling your mother."

Hugo nodded solemnly, slowly turning his head to look out the window of the car.

"Can I have my phone back now?" his sister asked as patiently as she could.

"Oh yeah…" He didn't turn but passed her the phone back.

She redialed Teddy's number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hugo hang up your phone?" he laughed.

"Yeah, and he finally told Dad."

"He told you who he's dating?" he gasped, sounding almost ... afraid?

"No … Dad was about to ask but he was confused so he just dropped it."

"I was not confused!" Ron said indignantly, starting the car back up and driving down the road again.

"Anyway, Hugo is turning as red as a beet so I think we better drop the subject."

"I am not as red as a beet!" he protested, his cheeks blushing brighter still.

"Yeah, and Santa is real! But my point is-" The sound of Teddy's breathing had been replaced by a loud, annoying beeping in her ear. "Crap, my phone just died! Hugo, can I borrow yours? Just long enough to tell Teddy that I'll call him back later?"

"I didn't bring it," he grumbled, still blushing. This was a lie, of course. The real reason was that he didn't want her to see the name he had listed Teddy's number under - or his screensaver, for that matter.

"Shit," she mumbled under her breath.

"Rose Weasley! What is your problem today? Ratting out your brother, cursing - I've never seen you act this way!"

That's because I do it when you're not looking, she thought.

"Okay kids, now you each get three galle-"

"Dad, come on, you're second in command at the Auror's office! Just behind Uncle Harry, who just so happens to lead the department!" Hugo complained unnecessarily. He would always pump their father for extra money whenever he got the chance.

"Oh, alright, I suppose that's true…" He handed them both five galleons and then went into the ice cream shop down the road.

"You're welcome," Hugo smirked. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go meet up with a very close friend."

Rose raised an eyebrow.

"No, for the last time, I won't tell you who he is! You wouldn't even know he existed if it wasn't for stupid Lily!"

"Hey, don't say that about our cousin! It's not her fault that she overheard you talking to him on the phone!"

"Whatever."

She watched as he walked up the steps to The Three Broomsticks and slowly stepped inside. She heard a squeal of happiness a second later and then something that sounded like someone embracing someone else.

In some part of her mind, she was instantly curious to find out who her brother was dating. In another part of her mind, it said to just leave him alone and let him be happy. In the last part, she worried about her own relationship. Or lack thereof.

I really need to get a life, she found herself thinking. Or maybe a Butterbeer - and then a life. It couldn't hurt to just walk in for a second… Well, it probably could, but…

In spite of her thoughts, she grabbed the invisibility cloak that her Uncle Harry had let her borrow and pulled it over her head. She climbed up the steps and opened the rusty door quietly, hoping no one would notice. Quickly she saw Hugo near the back, holding hands with someone she didn't immediately recognize. He had just past chin-length blue hair that was slightly spiked up in the back and on the sides, a smidge of brightly-colored eyeshadow here and there. The guy looked like he was probably a few inches taller than him, although it was nearly impossible to tell when Hugo was so obviously sitting in his lap.

He seemed like the kind of guy Hugo would like, even though they were clearly polar opposites. With Hugo's wavy, bright red hair and splay of freckles, they looked nothing alike, nor did they appear as if they had anything in common. If you didn't know Hugo, you'd be surprised at how much he wasn't a geek.

The unidentified boy whispered something in Hugo's ear that caused him to blush. The closer Rose walked to them, the better she could make out who it was.

Teddy.

She quickly strode over to their table and yanked the cloak down from over her head furiously. She yelled incredulously, "Oh my God! Teddy? You're dating Teddy? Like, Teddy, who I was just on the phone with, Teddy?"

"Rose? What are you- Oh, bloody hell," Hugo yelped, disentangling himself from his boyfriend. "Dad's coming! Quick, act natural!"

"But, darling, this is nat-"

"Rose, Hugo, I need your book li- Oh, Teddy! How are you?" Ron asked, completely oblivious to how Hugo kept staring at Teddy anxiously and Teddy was trying his best to look away.

Somehow, Teddy managed to maintain a bored expression, and said slowly, "Pretty good."

"Good, very good… Oh, wait," he slapped his face, "I have your lists right here!" He pulled them out of his pocket and shook his head. "Sorry kids. Anyway, if you're going to get anything from Triple W, you need to head over there now, 'cause we're leaving in thirty minutes."

"Alright Dad, see you later," Hugo said, his tone an octave higher than usual. Luckily for him, no one took note of it.

"What the bloody hell was that all about?" Rose finally said when Ron was out of earshot. Hugo went back to practically sitting in Teddy's lap, while the latter contentedly laid his head on the other's. "I mean, you do realize that there is a ten year age difference between you guys, right?"

They nodded and rolled their eyes - they'd heard all this before when they had came out to a mutual friend.

"And this is exactly why I didn't want her to find out I was dating her best friend," Hugo mumbled, mostly to himself.

Rose was shocked into silence. Her best guy friend was dating her brother! And Teddy was twenty-five - although he looked about seventeen, and anyone you would ask would tell you so - but Hugo was only fifteen! How was she supposed to take this news?

"Well, this is an interesting pairing indeed," a mocking voice drawled.

Rose spun around and looked directly into the eyes of Scorpius Malfoy, who just so happened to swing an arm around her shoulders and give a tight squeeze.

"Missed me, Rosie?" he asked sarcastically.

"Stay away from her, Malfoy," Teddy said, standing up with his wand raised; Hugo quickly followed suit.

"Well, isn't this cute? The fairy and the geek are trying to protect you."

"That's it," Teddy snapped, forcefully grabbing Rose's arm and swinging her into Hugo before pressing his wand to Malfoy's throat. "One more bloody word about my friends and you will be missing an arm or a leg. This is one of those bloody times that I wish I had been born a were-"

"Break it up, break it up!" Tom Jr., the barman, said. "Come on, get out you four! No more disturbances in my father's bar!" He shoved them through the door and then slammed it in their faces.

"So much for getting a Butterbeer," Rose muttered to herself.

"Thanks a bunch, Lupin! Now none of us can have any fun!" Scorpius whined.

"Oh Scorp, shut up."

"Scorp?" Teddy asked, surprised. "Since when have you given that douchebag a name?"

"Douchebag?" Scorpius cried indignantly.

"Oh, Teddy, you know that I've been dating Malfoy here for the last two years!" she said in a singsong voice.

Hugo was outraged. "You-"

Rose rolled her eyes and Scorpius gave a nervous laugh. "I'm kidding. Do you seriously think that I would date him?" In reality, Scorpius actually had asked her out two years ago, but she had turned him down. However, since then she had gained a strong friendship with him. The only one who knew was her cousin, Albus, who was also friends with him. It was their little secret...

"Well, I guess I should be going now. Me, the douchebag!" Scorpius called merrily.

When he was finally out of sight, Hugo said, "Let's head off to Uncle George's, 'kay? We only have about fifteen more minutes."

"And this is my newest item for sale! Proud to present- Oh! Hello there Teddy, Hugo, Rose," George said, dropping some type of box and walking over to the group.

"What was that you had just then, Uncle George?" Hugo asked, genuinely curious.

"Oh, that…" There was a short pause in which George had the decency to look embarrassed. "Those were the new strawberry condoms - not available to those under seventeen," he said sharply.

"And what happens when you put them on?" Teddy asked. "Bruises, bite marks, c-"

"No, they do what they're supposed to do…"

"Ah. Be right back, then…" Teddy slinked away, grabbing one of the boxes and winking at Hugo, who blushed furiously and stood open-mouthed. Then, snapping back to attention, turned back to Rose and George. They stood in silence for a moment until Rose burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" George demanded, oblivious to the nature of the situation that was going on.

"Oh, nothing… Just the fact that your little policy isn't going to do a 'lick' of good in some cases…" And then Rose proceeded to burst into laughter again while Hugo glared in the most menacing way she'd ever seen.

A/N: R&R please! Did you like it? I hope so! : )
