Teddy/Rose
Prompt: Clear Skies
Clear Skies
It was a beautiful day in Godric's Hollow; the sky was the clearest blue and there was not a cloud to be seen. Teddy had been forced to babysit James, Albus and Lily as well as Rose and Hugo, while Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione were at work. Since it was such a lovely day, Teddy decided to get the children amused in a game of Quidditch. Everyone was outside on their brooms, all except one Rose Weasley. Stamping her foot down stubbornly, she had refused to play and instead, kept herself locked inside with her nose in a book.
"Come on, Rosie," Hugo begged her. "Please play Quidditch with us!"
Rose refused to look up from her book and replied with a shake of her head.
"But it's a lovely day! And we need one more player!" he cried. This time, she looked up to see her younger brother's large brown eyes gazing at her imploringly.
"Leave me alone, Hue," she said irritably and turned away from him. Hugo frowned and trudged outside.
With a smirk of victory, Rose crossed her legs and tucked some of her bushy, red hair behind her ears as she poured over her book.
"C'mon Rose, why are you being a stick in the mud?"
She flicked her blue eyes up to meet Teddy's and scowled at him. "I'm not being a 'stick in the mud'," she protested angrily. "Unlike my brother and cousins, I am perfectly capable of entertaining myself."
Teddy raised an eyebrow at her. "Yes, I'm sure that's the real reason."
"What are you talking about?" she huffed, turning back to her book.
He came closer to her, a wide, impish grin across his face. "I think, you don't want to play because you're afraid Al will beat you."
Rose gasped and glowered at him for making such a suggestion. "I'm not afraid of losing to Al," she cried indignantly. "I just don't want to hurt his feelings when I flog him."
Teddy waggled his eyebrows at her and smirked. "I don't believe you, Rose Weasley," he said. "I think you'll have to prove it!"
He was testing her, and Rose Weasley never backed down from a challenge. She hated being proved wrong. So, snapping her book with such ferocity, she stormed outside and took off into the air on her broom.
"Whoever can get to that tree fastest, is the winner!" Rose cried, eying Albus with disdain.
Teddy laughed at her and went out to join them.
A/N: I picture Rose as a cross between Ron and Hermione. She's stubborn and fiery and incredibly intelligent, but she also a good friend and loyal and has a wicked sense of humour. Rose likes playing Quidditch, however she's not as good as her cousins, (she is Hermione's daughter after all). Her brother, Hugo, is a much better flier, but Rose is determined and hates losing. Teddy has a great relationship with the Potters, Rose and Hugo, mainly because he's around them the most and thinks of them as his siblings.
Ages in this: Rose (10), Hugo (9), Teddy (18)
