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.

	"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)

	"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)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh," she said, a little surprised, as if she'd almost forgotten he was still listening. "Uh, thank you," Andromeda said. "What do you like about summer?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-18 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	Ted shrugged. "Nothing so pretty. Just being home, mostly. Working for the family and all that. It's nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded. "It must be really nice," Andromeda agreed, trudging with him through the mud. "I think that's my least favorite part of summer, for me," she admitted quietly. Being home. Being with her family. Sometimes, Andy hated it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One arm still full of her books, Ted used the free hand to reach out slightly and touch the small of Andromeda's back. In case she fell again, he told himself. "Yeah well, hate to tell you, but sisters like yours? Wouldn't doubt it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	She shuffled closer to him, to stabilize herself in this mud, she told herself. "Oh, you haven't even met my parents," Andromeda mused, rolling her eyes slightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-18 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	"And the better for it," Ted said with a quick nod. "Hear enough just at school about my dirty blood, thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-18 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	She frowned, giving him an absent, sorry look. Andromeda looked down at the ground, ashamed. "I'm really sorry about that," she said quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
