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.

	What do I know about your family? Ted wrote back quickly. Don't know anything about them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Really? she wrote. That's probably a good thing. You have nothing to judge me off of except for the fact that I enjoy pino coladas and getting caught in the rain. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And what I hear about your family Ted replied, cryptic and wry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Awwww maaaan, so you heard that I sexed up my sisters in a bathtub? Andromeda couldn't contain a giggle, even when she covered her mouth to muffle the sound. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And then all went to a dinner of roast house elf and virgin blood Ted added, unable to stifle a quiet bit of his own laughter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You forgot about the unicorn tongues. Man, those were GOOD. You have no idea. What a DELICACY, Tonks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ted snorted with laughter again and quickly tried to smother it, bolting for the door as soon as Binns dismissed them, lest his laughter escape him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andromeda was the first one out of her seat, anxious for class to get out from the start. Luckily, she had no more classes after this. She walked out before Ted but turned to grin at him when she felt his presence behind her in the hallway. "So, I've been hearing this rumor," she started. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His laugh shook in his voice when he called ahead to answer, "What's that, Miss Black?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 05:46 am UTC (link)
	"I heard that this kid called Ted Tonks secretly liked the fact that the Blacks were doing weird ritualistic things and secretly wanted to go to one," she called back, laughing still. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-18 05:50 am UTC (link)
	"Ted Tonks?" he echoed, valiantly playing along. "Nah, I heard this kid Tonks is considering buying plane tickets off this bloody rock just to save his skin from those batty Blacks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 05:56 am UTC (link)
	"Is he?" she asked. "Probably a smart idea, those Black girls are so odd." Andromeda waggled her eyebrows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-18 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Ted laughed and stuffed his hands in his pockets as he trailed idly along after her. Nevermind that his dorm was...back that way. "'Specially the middle one, you seen her? Absolutely barmy. Passes notes to the worst type 'a'people during her classes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 06:01 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda looked back at him and gave him a wry little smile. "Well, you know, some seem to think that she's the worst one of them all. They say that she's the one who finds the House Elf virgin blood to drink!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-18 06:05 am UTC (link)
	Ted opened his mouth to answer, then considered what she'd just said more fully. "Virgin house elves? Is that possible?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 06:07 am UTC (link)
	She wrinkled her nose. "Well, they have to reproduce somehow, don't they? And. I mean. Like. Some of them aren't, you know, popular enough to get a proper lay, but." Andromeda trailed off. "I mean, there have to be some out there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-18 06:13 am UTC (link)
	"Not something I really want to think about, thanks," Ted said brightly, mortified. "Is that something a lady should be talking about, Miss Black?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 06:14 am UTC (link)
	She shrugged. "You're the one who brought it up, Mister Tonks," she teased. "What do you suggest I should be talking about, as a lady?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-18 06:17 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged. "Just Tonks is fine, you know. And I dunno, you tell me, Miss Black." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 06:22 am UTC (link)
	"Andromeda is fine," she told him. "Or just Andy-- oof," Andromeda sighed, tripping slightly over a little trip stair and dropping her books but managing not to fall. She bent over to pick them up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-18 06:26 am UTC (link)
	"Andromeda is too long," Ted mumbled, stooping to help her grab her things. "Andy's a boy name, anyway. Here, Miss Black." He offered her the Herbology. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 06:27 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," she sighed. Andromeda was always so clumsy, and it annoyed her at times because it always came in an untimely fashion. "But really, I'm okay with Andy. I don't mind it at all. My mother does, but I don't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-18 06:32 am UTC (link)
	"Well, she is your mother, Miss Black," Ted says with a faint smile, straightening. "D'you need a hand with those?" He gestured towards her books, almost shy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She shrugged. "She is my mother, but I don't agree with my mother very often," Andromeda admitted. Looking down at the books she was holding and then looking back up at him, she stuttered," Oh, uhhh. I mean, um." Andy, stop. "Sure! That would be very nice. ...Thank you." Andy never knew what to say to that sort of thing, especially since her sisters usually did all of the talking from then on. But her sisters were nowhere in sight.

	"Then, uh, you want to hand them to me?" Ted asked awkwardly, shifting his weight and holding out his arms for her books. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
