He wasn't a teacher
He wasn't any friend of mine
Just a
wizard
like the rest of us
& Harry's old classmate
Yep, just your prime example of typical
Ohh…
W.R.O.N.G

I know a bunch of characters
My parents were 2 strong personalities
My grandmother's one
My godfather & all other Weasleys & Potters
But this bloke was s-t-r-a-n-g-e
He—He was all smiles,
all the time
He could be correcting me on a bit of knowledge
or shoving me out of the way of a dive-bombing owl
&& he'd just smile,
as though it were the last thing he could do for the world

Infectious
That grin gets to me
But in a good way
I'll have a bad day and then run into him
"I fumbled a simple Disarming Spell"
*grins*
"I accidentally cast Obliviate on the wrong person"
**beams**
"I caused someone's death today"
s~m~i~l~e~s

He's not crazy
Anything but that
I get it now
&& I find myself smiling, too,
because if you don't smile
(grin 'n' bear it)
you'll
C-R-A-C-K
That's the decision I must make day-to-day
as an Auror
Slog on
or break down
But I have a 3rd option
(sorry, Mum & Da)
I can come home to that gentle smile
& know everything's all right,
&& that I'm understood…and loved

This one breaks my heart! I love Teddy and I've read some really good Terry fics lately and I thought that this couple could have a chance. And I love 'em. Terry's so sweet; he soothes Teddy, who I imagine can lose his cool a bit like his mum. So yay! Teddy found his own Remus! …? Okay, that came out wrong… XDDD
Thanks for reading, and please review!
-mew-tsubaki :P ;D
Thanks as always to Morghen for beta'ing! :D
2017 note: The Ravenclaw boys in Harry's yr make me smile, as does this little ol' fic. -w-
