A/N: Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in SO LONG. This next chapter has given me a lot of writer's block and I've been really busy but I hope you enjoy anyways.
Dear Harry, Ginny, and the lot-
Hufflepuff! I got sorted into Hufflepuff! I really expected Gryffindor, but Hufflepuff is a way better house, I think! Hogwarts is great-we're starting our classes tomorrow! Our common room is super cool. There's a bunch of plants and windows and comfy chairs and stuff. It's all golden and honey-colored wood. Anyways, there's four other boys in my dorm room-Henry Wood, Ryan Smith, Charlie Zitmus, and Nolan Davies. It's late now and we have to wake up early tomorrow, so I'll talk to you all tomorrow.
Until then,
Your Loyal Hufflepuff Teddy
Dear Harry,
Would they have been proud?
Love,
Teddy
Dear Gran,
Hi Gran! I miss you lots. Well Hogwarts is in full swing now. I love Defense Against the Dark Arts and Tramsfiguration, but I'm really lousy at Charms. I'm okay at Potions, but it's really really boring and hard to get it perfect. We're having our first flying lesson today, I'm really excited! Maybe I can show everyone my cool tricks. I'll tell you how it goes, okay? Don't forget to say hi to everyone else for me. And check on my frog spawn okay?
Miss and love you lots,
Teddy
Jamie,
Sorry buddy, but I can't help you and Al on this one. Only third years and above can visit Hogsmeade.
(But shhh, Uncle George has a pack of dungbombs hidden in Grandpa's shed-just look in the back on the shelf at the right.)
I didn't tell you guys that, okay?
Love,
Teddy
Dear Harry,
I know Mum was in Hufflepuff, but I was a little worried 'cause you lot were all Gryffindors and Dad was one too. And when the Rascals come to Hogwarts they'll probably be sorted there too and I'll be the only one different. But you're right, I guess. I should be proud and now I know they would be really proud too. Thanks, Harry. Owl me soon okay?
Love,
Teddy
Hey Rascals,
Well I'm just going to put all my replies to you lot in one letter okay? I don't have enough time to write separately. And it would be a waste of parchment. And ink.
Anyways, Hogwarts is BRILL. The food is really good. Almost as good as Grandma's. Maybe even the same goodness. The classes are pretty fun too. Our DADA (That's Defence Against the Dark Arts) professor said we're going to learn the Body-Bind Curse soon. Before the holidays. Tell the adults that Professor Longbottom says hi. And Professor McGonagall. Professor Flitwick is really really tiny but he's pretty cool too. The Potions teacher is named Professor Euan Abercrombie. He's really young-younger than Aunt Ginny and Luna! And Al-you'd love Astronomy! We don't have it that often but you get to go on a really high tower and the view is amazing. We've had a few flying lessons so far but they're boring. We barely get to fly. Tell my Gran that at brunch, okay? I promised to tell her about the first one but I haven't had much time.
Also to answer your other questions:
-No we haven't found the kitchens yet, Fred. Henry, Nolan and I went to look around for it, and Ryan and Charlie went to look on Wednesday. Harry won't tell me but try asking your dad okay? I'm sure he knows.
-Vic, I'll try writing more but you know I haven't much time. I miss you too.
-Jamie and Al, you're welcome.
-The library is really really big, Molly, just like your dad said. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that, though. I'll ask Madame Pince and see if she'll let me take any home for Christmas, though, okay? Just tell me if you want any other books in addition to An Illustrated Guide to Plants and Their Uses in Potionmaking. It's just that the librarian is really protective of her books and she probably wouldn't let me
-Dom, well I wish, but first years can't be on the teams, remember? Harry was only Seeker in first year 'cause he's wicked good.
I'll talk to you guys later, okay?
Love,
Teddy
A/N: Well that's it, peeps! Sorry again for not updating. Also I apologize for any mistakes with canon or information or SPaG or anything. Feel free to point it out so I can fix it. A lot of this chapter didn't really advance the story, but I added it so you can kind of see Teddy's character more and the relationships he has with his family (this is all how I imagine it in my mind, you might feel differently.) I decided to leave out some cousins because they're too young at this point to really write letters and stuff. (Again, a lot is guesswork because we don't know exactly how old a lot of NextGen characters are.) As always, I'm open to and appreciate any reviews.
