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-
