Chapter 5- White blond and Black
The next chapter will be the missing platform scene from the end of the 7th book and there will be one more chapter after that. After receiving some nice reviews I decided to type this up and voila, two chapters in one day! The next chapter will be slower as I haven't finished writing it in my notebook but I've already written the last one. Happy reading : )
Nobody in the Potter and Weasley families was particularly enamoured with the Malfoy family and on this account Teddy never deliberately turned his hair white blond but it had a habit of turning that colour when he was particularly worried about something, a fact which his family had not failed to notice.
Teddy was pacing up and down the hall, checking his watch every few seconds and changing the colour of his hair to black every time he saw his reflection in the mirror. By the time he had got to the other end of the hall however, it had faded to palest blond. Harry, coming downstairs and seeing this halted Teddy in his tracks.
"Teddy. You'll be fine, okay? Victoire really likes you or she wouldn't have said yes." Teddy nodded mutely and his hair darkened gradually.
"Just out of interest, why black?" Harry enquired.
"I wanted to look like you," Teddy mumbled and Harry saw that he had indeed changed the colour of his eyes to the colour that Ginny had once described as "As green as a fresh pickled toad". Harry gave him a bemused look,
"And why is that?" he queried. Teddy looked embarrassed.
"Well…well you looked like that on your first date with Ginny and you're still together." Harry laughed, then. Seeing Teddy's expression he sobered.
"Look Teddy, Victoire likes you for who you are, metamorph, half werewolf and everything. Ginny fell for me the way I was, I didn't try and change for her," he held up a hand to indicate that he wasn't finished when Teddy opened his mouth to speak, "And don't go telling me you don't have a way to look, you and I both know you have a favourite colour scheme." Teddy laughed,
"You make me sound like a living room," he said ruefully, changing his hair to a floral print usually found on wallpaper.
"Yes well, like I said, choose the colour you want but a word of advice-"
"Uhuh?"
"Not that one!" The doorbell rang and laughing, Teddy went to open the door, remembering to change his hair and eyes at the last minute.
