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.

	He shrugged. "Just Tonks is fine, you know. And I dunno, you tell me, Miss Black." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 06:48 am UTC (link)
	"Yes!" she said quickly. "Yes, I suppose I-- I should," Andromeda said and handed him her books lamely, but not before jabbing them into his arm by accident. "Oh! Oh sorry sorry sorry oh my goodness I'm so sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ow," Ted said weakly before trying to shake off the pain and buck up. Quick, look manly! He hefted her books up trying to look tough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She 'accidentally' brushed her fingers across his arm, making sure that he was okay after that tragic little accident of hers. Andromeda snatched her hand away, though, and muttered, "Sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ted almost dropped the books when a colony of doxies suddenly took up habitat in his stomach. "Ah. 'S'nothing," he said. "Which, uh, way?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 07:05 am UTC (link)
	"Uhhhhh," she stammered, looking at him for a few seconds awkwardly and then shaking her head quickly. "Um. I mean. Dungeons," Andy spat out. "So downstairs." But then she added quickly, "But you don't have to go the whole way if you don't want to. I know it's -- sort of a long way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ted hesitated when he heard her pause. "Bad spot for a Hufflepuff," he nodded, almost wincing at her meaning. "Take you to just before the corner, then, if you'd like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 07:19 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. "If you're more comfortable with that," Andromeda sighed. "But if you'd like, I could sneak you in and no one would ever know." She smiled a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He couldn't help but smile back when she did. "Until I go missing and they find just me thumb floating in the Great Lake," Ted finished for her, teasing slightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andromeda grinned at him before considering him for a moment. "We should just skip the dungeons and go someplace else," she said. "Let's go hang out. I never get to hang out anymore." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ted just grinned back, feeling stupid over the little flutter she gave him. Ugh he was such a girl. "Lead the way, Miss Black. I live to serve and all that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy smiled and said, "I don't know. It's finally looking a little bit nice outside. I feel like I'm in a cage. I haven't been out in months, it feels like." She started walking towards the back door, leading to the Hogwarts grounds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Surprised we weren't building an ark after all that rain," Ted agreed, shifting her books in his arms as he followed her. "Wet spring means more summer flowers, though." He'd know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She sighed. "I still like the mud better than the snow, though. Snow gets so dull after a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Too cold," Ted agreed, nodding. "Summer's my favorite, to be honest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Me too!" she agreed. "Everyone always says that, but then everyone always complains about horrible heat. I don't know, I rather like the heat. At least it's not snowing," Andromeda reasoned. "Do you know what my favorite part of summer is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-18 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	"What's your favorite part of summer, Miss Black?" Ted asked, bemusedly as they made their way outside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Andromeda," she corrected without thinking. "I love it when it thunderstorms in the summer. Because you can always smell it right before. And then when it does, it's like... like an oasis, I guess. You know what I mean? Everything is so dry, and then the change is so dramatic and it's so loud and I feel free." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's very poetic, Miss Andromeda," Ted murmured, a happy medium. He wasn't sure it would be best for him to give up calling her Miss. It might give him ideas quite above his, well, station. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
