After two weeks, Albus was sick of having Teddy trailing him. He knew he couldn't shake the Auror, but when Teddy stopped disguising himself and just followed Al as his normal self, it almost calmed him. Teddy was tall, fit, attractive and still wore his hair a bright turquoise despite his Ministry job just as he did when Al was a child. Teddy tried to make small talk with his godfather's son whenever possible, but Al would curse rudely and walk away. He couldn't let Teddy know that he was enjoying his company.

Al hadn't had familiar company since he ran away two years prior. Since then, he'd only had the muggles that stuck around for a month or so before they went their own ways. He didn't mind. Actually, he preferred it. There wasn't the ideology of having to live up to the famous Harry Potter. No one knew who he was out on the streets. There wasn't a muggle that passed that took a second look. They just went on their merry way and muttered what a pity it was that such a handsome boy was doomed to such a fate.

When Teddy came down from his hotel, he looked refreshed but dreary as he watched Al pack his bag. Al had given up on trying to run away from Teddy. Al walked behind a building where no one could see them and pulled out a cigarette.

"You know, everyone misses you, Al." Teddy said as he courteously lit Al's cigarette and watched him smoke.

"You keep saying that like it's going to change anything." Al blew smoke into his companion's face.

Teddy waved the smoke from his face. "You didn't just leave Harry. You left all of us."

Al casually tossed the barely spent cigarette on the ground and stamped it into the ground. "Just because I didn't keep in contact with you doesn't mean I didn't keep in contact with anyone." He reached over and grabbed Teddy by the wrist and the two of them Disapparated.

Teddy wasn't sure where they were, but it was obvious that Al knew the place all too well. As soon as their feet were planted hard on the ground Al began walking. Teddy stumbled behind. "Al, where are-"

"If you're going to follow me everywhere I go, will you please just shut up?" Al hissed. Teddy scowled but trudged along.

In the first fifteen minutes of being wherever they were, Al had managed to score a variety of illegal muggle drugs. While Teddy knew that if Al would take too much, it could be easily fixed by any Mediwitch or Healer in the matter of seconds, Teddy didn't know the simplest of healing spells. So when Teddy saw Al roll up and hide what appeared to be a bundle of needles in his bag, he felt his stomach drop.

Al did try to hide the drugs, but to no avail he was being followed by a man who trained under Chosen One himself. He knew Teddy was writing home to his father every night to report the day's happenings, so he knew his father was going to hear about this.

Good. Tomorrow morning Harry Potter will finally know what he made his son become.

Harry,

I'm not sure exactly where we are today. Somewhere extremely populated like I guessed. The people sound Germanic, so I hope that helps. Well, it seems that whatever we are, Al comes here often. The people seem to know him extremely well. They all knew his name, and he seemed to of known everyone else's.

As soon as we got here Al started buying drugs and needles. I don't even know all of the things he got, and I'm sorry for that Harry.

I can't keep staying in hotels anymore if Al won't. If he's taking drugs when I'm not around, I'll be around as much as I possibly can. He won't be too thrilled at the idea of me sleeping out on the streets with him. Truthfully, neither am I. Hopefully I can guilt him into getting a room at a hotel with me.

I think I may be pushing it.

Until next time,

Teddy
