A/N: Okay, I've finally managed to get this story started. My updates will probably be infrequent until I can get into a good schedule, so expect delays at first. Also, I'm not really sure how describing Teddy/Victoire are going to work out, so I'd love reviews for their personalities (and yes I'm already asking). Without further ado, here it is.
(Disclaimer: nothing you recognize from Harry Potter is mine, its JK's)
Rolling over to gaze out through dirt crusted at the grimy street below, Teddy moaned, wishing he had more time to sleep. Sighing with exhaustion, he decided that five more minutes couldn't really hurt. . .
"TEDDY REMUS LUPIN!" Teddy jumped in his bed hearing his aunt screaming up the stairs at him. "ARE YOU OUT OF THAT BED YET!"
"Of course Aunt Ginny!" Muttering to himself, he managed to drag himself into the bathroom, rubbing water into his eyes before making grand use of the toilet sitting against the wall. Leaving to get changed, he smiled as he remembered his grandma allowing Harry and Ginny to take him to Diagon Alley this year.
Stumbling down into the kitchen, Harry looked up at him and grinned.
"Ron was the same way when he was your age, you just got lucky and can make your hair look descent after rolling out of bed."
"Ya ya. . . I know, same stuff about how awesome it is to be a metamorphmagus." Teddy mumbled, half falling into his chair.
"Aw shut up and eat! I want to leave soon!" James yelled, pouting from his spot at the table. Even though he wasn't starting this year, James always loved going to Diagon Alley, and always got mad whenever he was forced to wait for Teddy.
"Okay, just let me eat a little!" Teddy smiled as he started in on his eggs.
Later, after many teary farewells and an 'I'll see you at Christmas' from his grandma, Teddy found himself lying on a bench in his train compartment, waiting for his friends to get back from the prefects meeting and wherever the hell Max ran off to. Bolting into sitting position as a wad of paper hit his face; he looked over at his friend Ralph, who was whistling not so innocently.
"What was that for?" he asked his brown haired friend.
"Oh, nothing, just thought you should know everyone's coming back." Ralph grinned at him from under his mop of hair.
"And how would you know this?" Teddy asked warily, almost dreading the answer.
"Cause I can hear Emily already yelling at third years for trying to forge an extra hogsmeade form. She really does take these duties a bit too seriously." Ralph grinned again, trying to make himself seem smarter.
Though he had to agree, she did take these responsibilities a bit far. "Everyone?" he asked pointedly.
"Okay, maybe not Max, he's probably snogging someone by now. I mean, it's been a good half an hour since we left!" Ralph rolled his eyes and lay back down across the seat. As the door opened letting Max and Emily in, he opened his eyes once more to address them. "I'm sorry, but this compartment has been taken for the beauty rest of Mr. Theodore Lupin, and he needs some quiet to sleep."
Surprisingly, he managed it all without grinning, which was a feat for Ralph. "Ya, sure. And Miss Emily tells you to move both of your fat arses over and make room before she puts you in detention." Max muttered, shoving Ralph aside.
"You three are so immature; I can't believe you actually call yourselves sixth years." Observed Emily, draping herself over the window seat.
"What, me?" Teddy sat up quickly, "What did I do! Er, this time I mean" he added as she raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, nothing, go back to your beauty sleep, you'll need it before a certain someone shows up." Emily smirked, watching him finally straighten himself up into an actual sitting position.
"Oh shut up. And you two wipe the smirks off your faces before I smack you." Teddy grumbled, sinking back into his seat.
"Ya, like you'd dare hit me Teddy, girls wouldn't talk to you for the rest of your life!" Max gloated, laughing at him.
"Okay, now that we're all good and happy with each other, any plans to start off the term with a bang?" It seemed Ralph always felt the need to make his presence known every year.
"I figured we'd just wing it, unless Emily decides to wield those prefect powers of hers and TRY to stop us. And I emphasize try." Teddy responded, glancing smugly at Emily.
"Be careful Teddy, I don't need to be a prefect to tell Vi-"
"Shut up Emily!" Teddy hissed, looking around. "Dammit, I do not!"
Looking over at Teddy, Max just smirked.
Okay, so tell me what you think! If you hated it, tell me. If you thought it was good, tell me twice. JUST REVIEW! Please? I'll give you a cookie. And Vic comes in either chapter 2 or 3, I might throw in some different plot stuff in 2. Who knows. Me. And maybe you if you review.
