Teddy/Bill

Bill looked down at the tank.

He didn't know why Sirius had slipped a few Galleons into his pocket and winked at him. He wasn't quite sure what was going on with the tank and the chameleon either. Was he supposed to babysit it? Sirius could have said something - anything - to let him know.

He didn't even know that Sirius owned a chameleon.

...oOo...

The tank was placed on the desk in his old bedroom. The lizard stared at him as he examined the tank. He wasn't the expert on lizards (as that was Charlie's department), but did they really sleep on something that closely resembled a miniature human bed?

...oOo...

Bill left the chameleon with Roxanne whilst he ate dinner. He said nothing about her naming it Rainbow and feeding it from her plate. He was glad she had found something it would eat.

"So Bill, you've joined a muggle football team?" Arthur asked.

"Yeah. Some muggles that live near the cottage have invited me to play with them." As he told his father about it, he could see the chameleon watching him in fascination.

No. He was just imagining the look.

...oOo...

"How was he? Did he behave himself?"

"Uh… yeah," Bill said, passing the cage over. "Cute, isn't he?"

"I bet Charlie loved him. I mean… lizards aren't a far step from dragons."

"Charlie isn't here, but Rainbow wasn't any trouble." He reached in, running a finger over the chameleon's back and missing Sirius' narrowed gaze.

...oOo...

"So it was a bust?" Sirius said as the chameleon transformed into his eighteen year old stepson.

Teddy stretched out. "Actually, it went well. He didn't know I was a fake."

"It did?"

"Yeah. Have you ever noticed how beautiful Bill looks - especially with those adorable scars?" Teddy asked. "I just want to kiss each and every one of them."

"Oh trust me, I know all about the joys of scars," Sirius replied. "But… wait, I thought you said Charlie was your soulmate?"

"It's Bill," Teddy assured him. "I'm sure of this!"

"Do you want to go back in?" Sirius offered. "I can drop you back there?"

Teddy shook his head. "It'll be too suspicious if you did that. What's next?"

"Well, did you learn anything about him?"

"I learnt that he looks sexy when he gets naked," Teddy said dreamily. "I bet our babies would be beautiful."

...oOo...

Bill smiled as Teddy slipped into the seat next to him. Sirius and Remus were further down the table, talking to Arthur and he hadn't seen Teddy in ages.

"So, I was thinking of taking up muggle football," Teddy stated. "Do you have any tips? I've heard you're the expert!"

"Have you played before?"

"I haven't played it, but I'm aware of it."

Bill was certain he was imagining the fascinated look on Teddy's face as his hair turned a familiar blue.

He wasn't certain, but it looked a lot like the blue of the chameleon that Sirius had dropped over the previous week.
