Alright, next part of this story is ready. Hope you enjoy it.
And I don't own Teddy…but I really, really want to.
Teddy had arrived at his destination, hesitating about whether he was really going to ask if he could stay here or not. Teddy looks up at the house before him, it wasn't small, but it certainly wasn't a mansion either, but it was fairly large, considering it was for a small family.
Teddy takes a deep breath and finally knocks on the door. After a minute the door opens and Teddy looks at the person who had answered.
"Teddy? What are you doing here?" Draco Malfoy asks, opening the door wider to let Teddy in. "I thought your grandmother said that you would be staying with the Potter's this summer."
"I was supposed to, but things didn't work out." Teddy says, casting his eyes down. Draco notices Teddy's black eye, "Did Potter do that to you?" he asks, not believing it. Teddy shakes his head and says "No, Ron did." Draco nods and says "Makes more sense then Potter, but not much. Why would Weasley do that?"
Teddy scowls and goes into the living room, sitting down on the couch he says "We had a fight, I was supposed to stay at Ron's house for a week, but I was barely there for five minutes before I totally lost it."
"So you're saying it's your fault?" Draco asks, joining Teddy on the couch. Teddy shrugs and says "Well, I got angry first, but it's his fault. I didn't like the things he was saying."
"What was he saying?" Draco asks. Teddy glares at the wall and says "He was talking bad about my family…our family. He was basically saying that if you're related to a death eater then you're evil. He never seems to remember the fact that he's related to death eaters too."
"Weasley is just stupid enough to forget that, isn't he?" Draco comments. Teddy smiles, Draco always talked this way about Ron, Teddy would usually defend Ron, but today he totally agreed with Malfoy on that.
See, the Weasley's and the Potter's didn't know about much anything that Teddy did when he wasn't with them. He actually visited the Malfoy's more then he has the Potters. After the wizarding war fifteen years earlier, Teddy's grandmother and Draco's mother had decided to start getting to know each other again, they really did care about each other. So they got together often, and whenever they did they would bring their families. So Teddy had really gotten to know the Malfoy's and he found that he liked playing with Scorpius as much as he did with Rosie and Hugo. And Draco had really warmed up to Teddy, mostly because he was proud of being a Slytherin, even if his father was in Gryffindor.
At that minute Scorpius comes into the room, "Hey, Teddy, are you staying over?" he asks, seeing Teddy's stuff on the floor. Teddy looks at Draco, who shrugs and says "Why not? I think it'll be okay for him to stay for the summer."
"Uh, I was only going to stay for the week." Teddy points out, "Then I was going to stay with Harry."
"The reason you don't want to stay with the Weasley's is because of your fight, right?" Draco asks, when Teddy nods he continues, "Every time there's been a fight between Weasley and Granger at school, Potter always took Weasley's side." Teddy thinks on that for a minute, and realizes that it was likely that Harry would side with Ron. He didn't want Harry to be mad at him too.
"Yeah, you're probably right." Teddy says sadly, "I probably should stay here for the summer, if that's okay."
"It'll be fine, you come over practically every other day anyway." Draco says, rolling his eyes. Teddy smiles and takes his stuff to one of the guest rooms, glad that Draco understood…but then, he knew that Draco would agree with him. Even if he only agreed with him because of the fact that he was against Ron.
The next few weeks went really well for Teddy, he enjoyed playing with Scorpius and talking with Draco. Draco was one of the few adults who would talk to Teddy as if he was an adult, rather then a child, and Teddy really appreciated that.
Teddy had sent quite a few letters to a number of people. To Vicky and his Grandmother, to tell them where he was and to keep in contact with them. But he did remember to send a letter to Harry, saying that he was fine. Teddy got quite a few letters from Harry, all asking if he was really alright, and what he and Ron had gotten into a fight about. Teddy guessed that Ron had told Harry that they'd had a fight, but hadn't told him what it was about. Teddy was fine with that, he wasn't in any big hurry to getting Harry to hate him too.
Yes, Teddy was constantly worried about that subject. He didn't want Ron to be mad at him, but he didn't want to be the one to make things right either, he knew he was in the right. But what Teddy feared was that Harry would be mad at Teddy too if he knew what the fight was about, Teddy didn't think he could handle having Harry mad at him. All of these worries caused a major change to come over the teenager. He was having trouble sleeping so he had dark shadows under his eyes, and it was also causing him to have trouble with his metamorphagus powers.
One day Teddy got his letter from Hogwarts, giving him information about the new school year. Teddy was slightly surprised when he got the letter; he'd almost completely forgotten about Hogwarts, he was too busy worrying. It took nearly a full minute for Teddy to realize that there was something else with the letter. He takes out of the envelope a green a silver badge. Grabbing another one of the papers he reads it and finds out that he is one of the new Prefects.
"You're a Prefect?" Draco asks, coming into the room and seeing the badge. "Just like I was." Teddy smiles at that comment. It was true, he was now a Prefect. Like Ron and his father was, but he agreed with Draco that he was just like him. Just because they were both in Slytherin.
For the first time that Summer Teddy forgot about his worries. He became anxious to be back at Hogwarts, with his friends, and Vicky. Yes, especially Vicky. At the end of last year Teddy had told Victoire that he liked her, and she admitted that she liked him too. That hadn't gone out on a date yet, but they were planning on fixing that once the new school year started.
Teddy felt like laughing at himself. Now that he wasn't stressing about things he was realizing how stupid he'd been, and how stupid he would be in a few hours when knew he would become worried again. Teddy sighs and thinks, "unnecessary worries, it's one of the many joys of being a teenager."
Should we stop there? I think we're going to stop there.
I feel like I totally got Draco's character all wrong, he seems too much like Harry to me, a little. Oh well, no fan fiction writer is perfect…or are they? No, they aren't.
