I seemed to have forgotten in all my nerves about that one test that I had received maximum score on another test at the end of September so I did not fail math and can continue to write.
Still two more chapters to go after this one. We're almost there.
Teddy stood in silence at the gates, looking out at the house that lied behind it. Every twenty seconds he would check his watch as if he was waiting for something to happen. Finally a girl came running over the path towards him. "So sorry…" she said, still tired from the effort to run all the way up here. "Mary still wanted to buy a dress and you said that I couldn't tell anyone so…" Teddy kissed her. "You're still in time." He said smiling.
"I am?" She said, looking at her watch. "Wow, I must've run fast. Anyway… are you sure you want to go through with this?"
Teddy nodded and opened the gates walking past them; Victoire still stood hesitating behind them. "You know this house is one of the most haunted houses in Great-Britain."
"You know it was my father al along." Teddy said smiling reaching out his hand. He had wanted to visit this house for so long but never wanted to do it alone.
Victoire took his hand and they walked over the path towards the house.
Beware: this house is not to be visited by any person due to the fact that it's haunted.
MoM
"Typical." Teddy muttered and opened the door to go inside. The house was filled with dust and dirt but Teddy didn't pay attention to it. Instead he looked for a way to create light without the use of his wand. He was still an underage outside Hogwarts after all and he did not want to be caught here.
Victoire followed him as well, she placed her hand against one of the walls realising to late that it was covered with mould. "Icky." She mumbled making Teddy laugh.
"Ow, before I forget." She said while taking something out of her bag. "This is something muggles use to create light. They call it a flash light or something. I'm telling you muggles are the strangest things." She threw the flash light towards Teddy.
"You need to push the…" but before she could say little button Teddy had already done so.
"Thanks Vicky." He said before he gave her a passionate kiss.
They decided to leave the hallway and explore the rest of the house. It felt weird for him, to step into this house which was a piece of his history yet it was the first time he ever went there.
Suddenly the light fell on a chair which was heavenly damaged, Teddy went towards it and noticed they were claw marks. He let his fingers run over the same place where his father once did no matter in what state he was in. Victoire noticed it but didn't say something. She was here to support him but to take this trip through the house was something between him and his mind.
"You know my mother went here a couple of times as well." Teddy said when he got up again. "When my dad took wolfs bane she would go with him. She didn't mind to see him the way he was." He turned to face Victoire.
"She loved him, she would do everything for him." They looked at each other for a wile, both understanding completely what Victoire had meant before Teddy's eyes fell on something else.
Victoire followed his gaze and gasped. "Is that blood?"
Teddy nodded. "This is were Severus Snape must've died. Harry saw it happening. I guess that's why he named Albus after him a well."
Victoire shook her head. "I once heard my dad talk about it to my mom when Albus was born. Something about how amazing it was that Harry had such an endless respect for the man and how no one accept for uncle Ron and aunt Hermione knew why. I guess I still remember it because it is kind of a mystery isn't?"
Teddy nodded and decided to go upstairs.
They went from room to room without finding anything remarkable beside the claw marks that could be find all over the place, until they reached the second last room.
It was covered with pictures of his father and his mother and even a small picture of Teddy.
He looked at it for a wile and noticed someone (he assumed it was his mother) had written something beside it.
"A monster could not create something so beautiful." He smiled remembering the stories Harry told about his father not being sure wetter he deserved everything he had.
"That's beautiful." Victoire said when she came to stand beside him.
Teddy nodded, to touched to say anything.
He placed the picture back at the same spot where it stood for all those years and where it would stay at least as long as 'he' was alive.
After that he turned around and smiled at Victoire.
"I love you." He mumbled.
Ok, so I wondered why I never saw a Teddy-fic or a post-dh fic in which Teddy never visited the Shrieking Shack. I mean, I can't imagine Teddy would not want to visit it.
Did you like it?
