Teddy was happy, yet sad to go back to Hogwarts. He would miss his family while at Hogwarts, but he missed his friends when he was home. Teddy had his appearance set to a Weasley red hair, freckles, and brown eyes.

"Goodbye Teddy," Victoire said, hugging him. Teddy hugged back.

"Bye Vic, see you at Easter." Teddy said, as he hugged everyone else goodbye. Victoire nodded, and tried to smile. She missed Teddy a lot when he was at Hogwarts.

Teddy met Alfie at platform 9 ¾, and they boarded the train. They sat with the other 1st year Gryffindor boys, including one with black hair and dark eyes. His named was Nick. Jake was there too, a boy with long brown hair and amber eyes. The last boy, Shawn, rarely spoke. Shawn was an albino, so he had white hair and reddish eyes. The other boys would stick up for him whenever someone, usually a Slytherin, picked on him. The biggest 1st year Slytherin bully was a guy named Richard. Everyone called him Richie, and he was the king of the 1st years.

Teddy knew he shouldn't judge people because of their houses. There was this really nice Slytherin girl named Annie. She had red pigtails and green eyes. Teddy would always tease Alfie about his crush on her. Alfie would in turn tease Teddy about his crush on Melanie. Truth was, the more time Teddy spent away from Victoire, and with Melanie, the more time he began to really like Melanie. She had dirty blonde hair and grey eyes.

On the ride back to Hogwarts, Teddy played Wizards Chess with Nick, while Jack coached from the sidelines. Shawn decided to sleep, and Alfie went to see if Annie was on the train.

A little before the trolley came, Alfie got back. "She's there, but she's hanging out with Richard and his friends." Alfie sat down next to Teddy. "I hate Richard. He's a bully."

Jake nodded. "Yeah, he is." Nick won the game, and they put the board away as the candy trolley came.

Shawn woke up, and stretched. "What did I miss?"

Teddy yawned. "The usual, me losing to Nick in a game of chess."

Once they got to Hogwarts, Melanie ran out to meet them. "Finally you guys are back! It's so boring here. Everyone left except for one other girl. My best friends, Susan and Kelsey, left to go home."

Jake rolled his eyes. "How selfish of them for wanted to spend time with their family. Why didn't you just hang out with your sister, Melody?"

"She's a 2nd year, she thinks she's too mature to hang out with me," explained Melanie. "Anyway, have a good Christmas?"

"Yeah, it was alright," said Alfie, shrugging. "We just have a small dinner. We don't have a huge party." He jokingly glared at Teddy.

"Hey, it's not my fault my family's so huge! Besides, I just hang out with Victoire." said Teddy. "She's only 2 years younger than me, unlike everyone else. I'm too old for my cousins, too young for the adults."

"Oh so Victoire is your cousin?" said Melanie.

"No, I just say she's my cousin. I really only have a grandmother and some distant relatives." explained Teddy.

Melanie nodded. "Well now you're here, so you can hang out with us!"

"Yeah," said Teddy. He said bye to Melanie and went to unpack his stuff. His stomach growled and he glanced at the clock. He hurriedly ran downstairs for dinner. Sitting in between Alfie and Shawn, he noticed that Nick wasn't there. "Where's Nick?"

Jake glanced up from eating a rib. "Uh he said he had to clean up or something. I don't know." He shrugged and continued eating. Shawn passed some potatoes to Teddy. "I'm not hungry," he said quietly. Teddy smiled in thanks.
