"Teddy! Come downstairs!" Ginny had called from below. Teddy growled and ran down the stairs to be greeted by that all too familiar squeaky voice.

"Hi Teddy!" The cute strawberry blonde eleven-year-old smiled at him delightedly, her silver charm bracelet jingling on her wrist as she waved.

"Oh, hi Victoire... I didn't know you were here."

"Maman decided she wanted to visit before we left for France tomorrow-"

"Victoire! Ma cherie, qu'est-ce que tu fais? Le diner est pret!" Fleur's voice floated from the kitchen.

"D'accord, maman!" Victoire answered.

"Teddy! Dinner is ready!" Ginny's voice boomed.

"Wait, so you're leaving, for good?" Teddy asked Victoire.

"I'm not sure.. Maman wants me to go to Beauxbatons for a while.. I don't want to, but she's making me.." She tilted her head downwards to examine the floor.

Teddy frowned. As much as he found Vicky annoying sometimes, he knew he would miss her. She was the only one of the kids who was around his age. Bloody hell, all the rest of the kids were ibabies/i. And babies aren't fun. All they do is pee, poop, and cry all day.

"Victoire!" Fleur called again, "Allez!"

"TEDDY!" called Ginny again.


"TEDDY! WAKE UP!" Ginny went in to his room and started shaking him violently.

Teddy didn't live with Harry and Ginny, he had just been staying with them for the past few days because his grandmother had been sick and in the hospital. After his grandpa's heart attack, she hadn't been holding up so well.

"Teddy Lupin, you are starting your seventh year at Hogwarts, and you will NOT be late to the train! Now get up and get dressed!"

Teddy sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes, "I'm up, I'm up..." He mumbled.

Ginny smiled and sped out the door, slamming it on her way out. Listening to her foot steps trail down the stairs, he fell back on to his bed and closed his eyes once more.


Teddy sat in the compartment, his head resting on the window, his eyes drooping, while his best mates Charlie and Jasper were arguing about Quidditch teams, which by the way was giving Teddy a head ache.

Charlie Baxter is the one friend that everyone in the group loves to hate, and hates to love. He's overly competetive, rude, loud, and perverted in any way possible. Although, he does have the tendency to be funny in that car-crash-sort-of-way. No matter, he is the one you want to have on your side if you ever get in a row with someone. Charlie has arms the size of three first years. Alright, maybe not that sickeningly large, but you get the idea. And even though he was a beast, he was the center of everyone's ridicule. Because as large as he was, he couldn't hurt his friends. Yeah, he's just a big softie...

Jasper Garrick was one of the wilder ones. Not wild like getting drunk and partying all night. Though, he was like that at times. Normally, he was more of a 'Let's go jump in to the Black Lake naked!' kind of guy. And even though they had to talk him out of beating Charlie's arse senseless a few times, he didn't pick fights too often. And because we got in fights in our dorm constantly, Jasper was usually the peace keeper. If the group didn't have him, they would have probably slitted each other's throats by now.

"What?! Are you daft?! Japan is clearly the best Quidditch team!" Charlie was arguing.

"The Toyohashi Tengu wouldn't stand a chance against the Broomfleets! Their beater-marking system is unbeatable!" Jasper countered.

"Shut up! They could if they wanted!" Charlie yelled. As you can tell, he has the intellectual range of a thimble.

"No! You shut up!" Jasper yelled back. Two of a kind, aren't they?

"Why don't you both shut up? It would make everyone's life a whole lot easier," Noah said, getting out a deck of Exploding Snap cards, "Now who wants to play Exploding Snap?"

"I will, I'm tired of all his bullocks," Charlie rolled up his sleeves.

Noah Rider- the bookworm of the group. Who else would they go to when they need their essay for Potions done but don't have enough time because a hot girl is waiting downstairs, just waiting to be pounced? It's not like he knows he's doing anyone else's homework. He has so many extra classes that if you put your homework in the enormous homework pile on his desk, he'll just do it without thinking. Okay, maybe he isn't the cotton candy jelly bean in the pile of bogie flavored ones. Either way, he's smart, or a smart ass.

The compartment door slid open and Norah plopped down next to Teddy, who, mind you, was still half asleep.

"Okay, I did what you wanted me to do. I sat with the girls for a change, and I beg of you, don't make me do it again," she pleaded.

"Why? What happened?" Jasper snickered.

"All they talked about was periods and make up. I could give a damn about which shade of eye shadow complimented their eyes or their sodding menstrual cycles. It was hell and I swear I will never do it again!"

Norah Rider, twin sister to Noah Rider (I know, their parents are so original, it's exciting!), is exactly like Noah, except she's about half as smart, and ten times as cheeky. Being the only girl in the group, she should be taking care of everyone, and helping everyone with their girl issues, but in the famous words of Norah, 'Go take care of it your damn self! It's not my problem.' And if anyone dare ask again, you'll get an earload of something pertaining to, 'You better tuck your dick between your legs and brace your balls you little pussy! Now deal with it!' Yeah, don't mess with her. She's a force to be reckoned with. Even though she's a hard ass sometimes, Teddy was still her best friend, and she showed him more kindness than anyone else.

Norah sighed and looked out the window, catching the way Teddy was starting to drool all over the window. She cocked her eyebrow in a look of disgust, "What's wrong with him?" she asked, poking him as if he were a dead animal.

Teddy shoved her hand away, "Nothing, I'm fine. I'm just tired is all... I went to sleep late last night."

Norah poked him again, "Why?"

"Too much late night porn," Charlie answered for him. Jasper sniggered as Teddy kicked Charlie in the knee.

"Oh shut up Charlie. I remember the first night you came over to the house. My lotion mysteriously disappeared, along with all my lingerie magazines," Norah informed the whole compartment. Noah and Jasper laughed loudly, "Oh yeah Charlie, now I remember, you were smelling frutier than usual that day." Taking his mind off of the game, Charlie started glaring at the both of them. Before he knew it, the cards on the seat exploded, making him lose the game.

"What the hell! Why am I even playing this game?! I don't even like it!" Charlie roared.

"You just don't like the game because you suck," Jasper guffawed.

"No, I don't suck. The game sucks. And you suck," Charlie said, throwing the cards at Noah.

Teddy completley threw the idea of getting some sleep on the train out the window. He sat up and stretched, yawning in the process.

"Good morning sunshine. How was that beauty sleep of yours?" Jasper asked, picking up a few of the Exploding Snap cards that Charlie got violent with.

"It was crap. But I have you guys to thank for that.."

"We strive to make your Hogwarts Express experience more enjoyable," Norah said, putting her arm around his shoulders.

At that moment, the train halted to a stop and everyone started filing out of the train.

"Hey, Jasper, can you help me with this duffel bag?" asked Charlie from inside the compartment.

"Gee, I wish I could, but I don't want to," he scoffed, marching his way off of the train.

"Oh yeah, I need someone with more muscle. Norah, wanna lend a hand?" He asked, a smirk on his face. Norah laughed and also walked off of the train, "Hey! Norah, I really needed help from you!"

Teddy decided to be a good friend and help Charlie with the duffel bag. Upon lifting it up and over the guard rail that kept it from falling, he noticed it weighed a little more than usual and the odd clanking sounds caught his attention.

"Merlin, what do you have in here, Charlie?" Teddy questioned.

"Fire Whiskey. It's Jasper's birthday soon, so I thought I would give him a seventeenth birthday to remember," Charlie hauled the bag off of the train himself with Teddy following, "and nothing says 'Happy Birthday' like doing body shots off of the hottest girls in Gryffindor!"

Norah, Noah, and Jasper were waiting for Teddy and Charlie by one of the carriages.

"Ew, they're so disgusting.." Norah said, grimacing.

"Who? The spiders? I know, they're all over the place.." Noah said, flicking a few off of his hand and arm.

"No, not the spiders. The first years. We were never that small," one first year looked up at her and smiled. She just stared him down until he frowned and ran away.

"Aw, Norah, I think you made him cry," Charlie pointed out with fake sympathy.

"Ehh, he can suck it up."


Sitting down at the Gryffindor table, Norah got a pained expression and held her stomach. Teddy turned to her, "You okay?"

"I'm fine... Just-"

"Uh oh, is someone having menstrual cramps?" Noah cut in.

"Shut the hell up," Norah snapped. She stomped on his foot underneath the table, "I've heard enough about them on the train. But sadly, it's true.."

"Damnit, we're in for one hell of a week.." Charlie frowned.

"Shut up. You know, guys are so lucky to not have periods. Because if you did, all you would be doing is bitching and moaning about it, then compare who has bigger tampons," Norah declared, starting to rub her stomach again.

"We're lucky? Girls are luckier than us guys. We have to ask you out, have the balls to propose, then while you stay at home taking care of the baby, we have to go out and work our arses off just so you can go shopping with all of our hard earned money!" Charlie argued quite forcefully.

"Oh please! Do you know what it takes to have the baby of which you speak?" Norah argued back.

"Yeah, nine months of laying around the house eating!"

"And puking-"

"You bitch too much.." Charlie whined.

"And you guys pee standing up," Norah crossed her arms as if triumphant.

"We still crap sitting down," Jasper argued.

"Yeah, but girls do both sitting. Twice as likely to get some communicable disease."

"Like what?" Teddy wondered, "I thought the toilet seat thing was a lie."

"You can still get the herpily erpilies from toilet seats, mate," Jasper said, still intent on the argument.

"During sex all you girls have to do is lie there," Charlie stated leaning forward, as if that would strengthen his point.

Norah's arms fell and she smirked, "You're right. Touche."

After the sorting and dinner, everyone walked back to the Common Room, ready to relax before the long day that was ahead. Noah went straight up to the dorms to unpack his clothes and books. The books took up a majority of his trunk. They kept him warm at night.

"Hey, has anyone seen Charlie?" Teddy asked, sitting on the couch in front of the fire.

"I'm pretty sure he's still eating dinner," Jasper answered, taking a seat in the arm chair next to the couch.

"What a fat ass. I swear, if he didn't play Quidditch, he'd be obese," Norah said, sitting cross legged on the floor.

"No, he doesn't do anything in Quidditch. I think the food just can't squeeze through all that muscle, so it all goes to his brain, taking up all the space that was saved for common sense," Teddy grinned.

"Speaking of the devil," Jasper stated, watching Charlie walk over to the fire.

"Funny, I thought we were talking about Charlie," Norah laughed, looking straight at Charlie. He glared, but brushed it aside and sat down next to Teddy.

"Guess what guys?" He asked excitedly.

"As you were at dinner, you were pondering your sexuality while shoving meatballs in your mouth? And Charlie, it's normal to like that funny feeling in your pants," Norah jeered playfully at Charlie.

"I think I said 'guys'. Not 'guys and Norah'. Do you have a cock?" Charlie sneered.

"Yeah, a big fat one. Now hurry up and tell us what you were going to tell us."

Charlie quickly glanced at Jasper and Teddy, "We have some new game."

Jasper and Teddy smiled while Norah rolled her eyes and turned her back to the testosterone filled conversation.

Charlie grinned excitedly, "Five feet eight inches of sexy. Blonde hair, blue eyes-"

"I think I found her," Jasper said, glancing up and smiling devilishly.

Teddy and Charlie look up and Teddy's jaw dropped. Charlie wasn't joking. This girl was gorgeous. Perfect light blonde hair, dazzling blue eyes, and legs that went on for days. Her appearance captivated everyone. The girls couldn't even say anything bad about her, and the boys could hardly keep their hands out of their pants. She hardly seemed to take notice of the people staring at her. Mostly, she was looking at the ground, almost seemingly afraid to look at anyone in the eye.

"I must be dreaming.." Jasper cooed.

"Oh, let me help you then Jasper," And Norah slapped him in his face.

"No, I'm not dreaming.." And he went on gawking after the girl as if nothing had happened.

Norah rolled her eyes and went back to watching the fire while muttering obsceneties about boys and their dirty little minds. Emphasis on "little".

Teddy stood up and straightened himself out.

"Where do you think you're going?" Charlie asked, also getting up.

"To introduce myself like the gentleman I am," he replied, straightening his tie.

Norah snorted, "Tuh, gentleman my arse.."

"Oh no you don't! You always get the fresh meat! I'm tired of getting the sloppy seconds," Charlie complained. And headed towards the blonde beauty, looking confusedly around the room. Teddy crossed his arms, huffing, as he sat back down on the couch. He watched as Charlie charmed his way to curve the girl's frown in to.. less than a frown. He then motioned his hand towards the group, and she nervously began to walk over. She apprehensivley looked at our lot, then, her face softened for a minute. When Charlie had brought her over, he started introducing everyone.

"I would like to introduce you to everyone. There on the floor is Norah-"

"Hello," Norah said politley. Well, as polite as Norah can possibly go.

"-In the armchair is Jasper-"

"Wotcher," he greeted with a small smirk.

"-and-"

"Teddy?" she finished. Teddy stood up from the couch and turned fully to look at her. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, and something shiny caught his eye. A silver charm bracelet.

"Victoire?" He questioned, unsure of the answer he would get.

"Merlin! It's been so long!" She rushed around the couch and wrapped her arms around Teddy's neck, happy to know someone in her new school. Charlie looked between both of them, his eyes growing wide in confusion.

"Damnit! NO!" Charlie yelled, shaking his fists to the heavens, "Not again!"
