Ted was bored in class, as he often was, staring out the window to his right and daydreaming about the beautiful spring day outside. History of Magic was always his class for daydreaming, rife with homesickness for summer and the green hills of Limerick, where he could spend the whole day outside without any stuffy lectures from beyond the grave to worry about.

He sighed softly, chin propped up on his palm as he stared out the window, entirely oblivious not only to Binn's lecture, but also everything else that was going on in the classroom around him.

	"Nothing wrong with a little life," Ted said thoughtfully, kicking a little lake wave that had crept up, sending water spraying back out into the lake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andromeda shrugged. "My mother thought differently, I guess. Personally, I don't really agree. I think I'm afraid of more things than she meant for me to be afraid of." She giggled at the wave that splashed her a little, making her legs a little bit muddy. It was a good thing she wore a skirt today, or else she would have mud all over her clothes.

	"Don't be afraid," Ted said absently, kicking the water again slightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What shouldn't I be afraid of?" Andromeda asked, sinking slowly into the mud again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Water," Ted said simply, reaching for both her hands and walking her another step towards it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She gave him a nervous smile, holding onto his hands and cautiously taking a step back into the water with him. Andromeda squeaked slightly as the water went up around her ankles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ted laughed when she squealed. "You're fine," he assured her. "Squid's nowhere around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 04:39 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda blushed a little, sinking further into the even wetter mud under the water. "I'm not afraid of the Squid," she tried to tell him gallantly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Liar," Ted accused, laughing again as he gently let go of her hands. "You get nightmares, don't you? Slithery tentacles sticking out of the lake to get you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One of her feet went up her leg just from the thought of it, slimy feet making her shiver. "I do not!" she cried out defensively, putting her foot back down into the cold mud. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ted tried to smother his laughter and force a straight face. "Okay okay, you don't! Whatever you say, Dromeda." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Andy," she corrected uneasily as she tried to move bravely forward one more step in the water, taking him with her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-19 04:50 am UTC (link)
	"Andy's a boy name." Ted stepped forward with her, careful and a little bit closer than before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 04:52 am UTC (link)
	She shrugged. "It's what everybody else calls me," Andromeda said with a sigh. She never really thought about whether she liked it or not. Brave as a toaster, Andy took another careful step back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like Dromeda," Ted said stubbornly as he followed her steps, as if they were dancing and she was the lead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 04:55 am UTC (link)
	"I've never heard that one before," she complained and then stopped because that was quite enough. It was up to her mid-calf, and Andromeda shivered at the thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ted moved closer without quite noticing, near enough to almost touch but not quite. "I'm expanding your horizons, then," he said with a smirk of victory. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 05:00 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda noticed, but for some reason, she didn't move at all, just looked up at him with widened eyes. This was not good. This was so not good and she shouldn't not be caring right now. "Maybe I should do that more often," she agreed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ted smiled slowly, almost shyly. "Don't tell your sisters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 05:07 am UTC (link)
	She shook her head. "It'll be our little secret," Andromeda murmured. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cross my heart," Ted agreed, raising his hand to draw an X on his chest while he nodded. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But don't hope to die," she told him. "I never understand why people say that last part. Why would you hope to die?" Andromeda took a step back into the water bravely, holding onto him a little closer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ted's hands hovered over her waist, not touching still, but ready to catch her. "I don't," he shrugged. "Not now, 'least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 05:27 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda grinned wryly, looking carefully down at her feet and taking another step backwards. It was starting to get more slippery, and she held onto his hands near her waist to stable herself without thinking about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Trying to drown me, are you?" Ted asked, as again he followed her. "Didn't know there was Mermish in the Black family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
