DATE OF BIRTH: April 15 SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual. CURRENT RESIDENCE: Flat in Diagon Alley. CURRENT OCCUPATION: Auror. HOGWARTS HOUSE: Gryffindor Alumni. BLOOD STATUS: Halfblood (Magic + Werewolf). WAND: Fifteen inches, willow, phoenix tail feather. PERSONALITY: Adventurous – Like the Marauders before him, Teddy has a lust for adventure. Even if currently undesired (which isn't always likely), adventure seems to find him if he can't find it. He is, by no means, reckless. Although adventure tempts him quite often, Teddy has trained himself to refuse it if it is too costly. Courageous – Ted is true to his Gryffindor nature by being extraordinarily brave. He knows the difference between doing something brave & doing something stupid, but often disregards this because of his loyalty to others. This courage he has been endowed with helps him as an Auror, although it doesn't always give him points with the higher-ranking officials. He comes across as an overenthusiastic young man, but when the time comes to it he will help any of his fellow Dark Wizard Catchers out of a sticky spot. Fiery – A child of Aries, Teddy is incredibly passionate. Arguments with him can often escalate quickly, though that has gotten better over the years. People often say he has the fire that his mother had & his godmother has; he is proud to bare this quality because of them. Gentlemanly – When it comes to women, Teddy is 100% gentleman. He is polite & courteous, respectful, & sensitive. He is in no way ashamed of this; he refuses to let chivalry die. He has learned less from his friend Septimus (see below) & his womanizer way, & took the path less traveled on. BACKGROUND: “I was born in April of 1998, during the Second Wizarding War. I lost both my parents before the year was out; they both died fighting in that war. Mum was an Auror, & dad was about as close to an Auror as you can get without actually being one. I haven't quite decided yet if I miss them or not, & that really scares me. I mean, they're my parents; I should be ridiculously upset, but instead I'm... I think I'm okay. I mean, I had Harry Potter as my godfather, & that's been going swimmingly. He's bloody Harry Potter, & he's been a great dad to me, & Ginny's been great too; she's a stellar mum & anyone would be lucky to have her as a parent. But it's weird, y'know? Everyone has parents, & I just have... I have my godparents. When I was a kid, I couldn't have my parents sign off on any of my forms; I had to have my guardians do it. When I was eleven Harry gave me a key to the attic upstairs, & told me to go find my mum's old school trunk. So after about an hour of clunking around in this terrible, musty old attic, I found this great blue trunk. It was full of stuff that my mum & dad had left me, aside from the house, which I wasn't allowed to own yet, being only eleven. There were letters from my dad & my mum that they had written each other, & just a bunch of really neat possessions of theirs. Then Harry gave me my dad's map; he said he didn't need it anymore & his only request was that I give it to James when I graduate. He told me about the Marauders, which was weird, because I could never picture this noble R.J. Lupin fellow being a cheeky schoolboy -- especially adopting a name like "Moony". Hogwarts was good to me. People knew my name, they knew of my parents & what they had done. There were a whole bunch of other kids whose parents had fought in the SWW & even the GBH, & we really connected. We all had that common denominator of extraordinarily brave parents. I was sorted into Gryffindor (no one was really surprised, both my godparents & my father had been in that house) & made quite a name for myself. I always had friends at Hogwarts, & I don't mean to brag but the girls definitely took notice of me. I indulged myself a bit & had some good, old-fashioned pre-teen & teenage fun. I hung out with girls & blokes, & a few of us even managed to start a sort of next generation of Marauders. The new Marauders were me and three other Gryffs (two boys & one girl). We got really close in first year during classes, & things just sort of skyrocketed from there. The guys were my roommates, so we were together pretty much the entire day. Their names were Gwydion Tempest & Septimus Vance. Sep was a crazy guy; he was always ready for an adventure & unfortunately didn't always think things through. When people describe the Marauders to me, I guess you could say that I was, coincidentally, the most like my dad. Sep was a combination between Sirius Black & James Potter; he had Black's recklessness, but wasn't quite the womanizer. He also had his wondrous sensitive moments when you remembered that he was just as vulnerable as the rest of us. Gwydion wasn't really like any of the original Marauders. Or, perhaps he was like all of them. He had girls falling all over him like Potter & Black, but he was awkward like Pettigrew & didn't really know how to interact with them at first. Once he figured his hormones out, he became quite interested in the girls but did the sensible thing (as my dad would have done, being the sort of bloke he was) & didn't take advantage of any of them. He fell in love with this one girl during our sixth year (she was a real gem) & they've been together ever since. Sep would never let me forget it if I said this aloud, but Gwydion & Prue are actually one of the most brilliant couples I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Alice Varrthorn (known as “Al”, because Septimus decided that her name was too girly for her to be only his friend) was the girl in our group. In our first year she proved herself to be one of the most rebellious, mature, audacious eleven year olds that any of us had ever seen (she told me later that this was partially due to the fact that she had six older brothers). I think we took a liking to her because she (though you'll never get Septimus or Gwydion to admit it) scared the bloody hell out of us. She even made a hobby out of punching Sep in the face – of course she had reasons to, but we were all a little bit taken aback the first time she did it. It was during third year, during Defense Against the Dark Arts class. It was the Boggart lesson. Now Alice, being the sort of person she was, would never admit to being afraid of anything. Imagine our surprise when her Boggart turned from Gwydion's disappointed father (G's parents were ridiculously tough on him) into a laughable little butterfly. Sep thought that bugging Al about it would be a good idea. He thought wrong. Very wrong. The other most memorable time was when Septimus made the other mistake of asking Alice to go to Hogsmeade with him, on a date. Poor bloke, I reckon he actually liked her. Probably still does. Unfortunately, rather than be the sweet Septimus Vance that only I knew he could be, he decided to be a total tosser & be the most obnoxious Sep that he could be. He was probably just nervous & defaulted to arsehole mode, but that didn't matter to Alice. Al trusted me more so than she trusted the other two. She liked Gwydion & all, but she & Prue didn't always get along & Prue was G's first priority. I trusted her just as much. Although Septimus & I were partners in crime, I talked to Alice the most & she knew more about me than the others did. She was my first kiss, even. We were in third year, & all our friends had kissed somebody; we thought we were the only ones who hadn't. So, we did it. It was nice, of course. I don't reckon either of us were bad kissers. Alice & I were sort of friends with benefits for a while; neither of us were looking for a relationship but we still wanted to do our hormonal experiments. She was, naturally, the person I lost my virginity to, & she lost hers to me (this was around the end of our sixth year). Sex was something we were excited about but also kind of freaked out about. I mean, what if the girl I have sex with ends up wanting nothing to do with me after, right? Or what if it's not good? What if I don't really love her? What if I really love her? What if I get her pregnant? What if she's all weird & clingy after? That's what I was thinking. It was actually Al's idea, although I wouldn't be able to say the idea hadn't crossed my mind about eighty thousand times. One morning at breakfast (it was early enough that G and Sep weren't awake yet) she just looked across the table & asked (very calmly, very bluntly) if “Teddy, do you want to have sex tonight, no strings attached?” I practically choked; I'm not going to lie. I could only nod back, & spend the entire day thinking about it. So the Room of Requirement at nine o'clock. It was totally nerve-wracking & the slightest bit awkward at times, but it was generally (to quote Ron Weasley) bloody brilliant. Alice really helped me out when I started dating Victoire Weasley halfway through my seventh year (. Vic wasn't always easy to deal with, but Al pulled me through. She confessed to not being a total expert on girls but, in all honesty, she did a better job than any bloke or book could have done for me. Dating Victoire was, in all honesty, great. It was fun, passionate, romantic... all these great things that anybody would have wanted. But it just wasn't right, I guess. We were off-&-on for about a year (one of us would be into the relationship, the other wouldn't) & broke up about six times during that span. We broke up finally about a month into her seventh year, when I was doing Auror training stuff & she was doing Victoire stuff. I guess we just had our eyes set on different things at that point. I mean, yeah, of course I loved her & all, but I suppose it just wasn't meant to be. It was fun while it lasted, of course, but it's done now. I don't see us getting back together any time, although both Harry & Gwydion think that that would be brilliant. It's not going to happen. After school, G, Alice & I applied to the Ministry of Magic. G wanted to work as an Auror, like me, but dropped out of training quickly & decided that he wanted to be a Healer. He completed training & has been working at St. Mungo's ever since. He's an incredibly talented guy, I'd trust him with anybody's life. Alice started work with the Magical Law Enforcement Squad, & became one of the youngest Hit Witches ever. I went into Auror training, & when I had graduated the department practically scooped me up. I'm sure that my connections (my late mother, godparents, & various people that I know) helped make my acceptance so bloody quick, but I like to think that I'm actually a good Auror as well. As for Septimus, he was sucked up by Puddlemere United (he may be reckless, but he's a damn good Chaser), & has been playing for them ever since.” |
