How old is he?

Nearly two. I presumed children needed sleep. He disagreed.

He chuckled a bit.

Children are notoriously stubborn. Great-aunt Bathilda always suggested ~~though I told her I would never have children, she said I should know "just in case"~~ that a small bit of wine mixed with milk and heated works wonders.

I don't believe I was this stubborn at his age. Nor do I believe it possible I had as much energy as he does.

He paused at the mention of Bathilda, and tilted his head studying the other man.

Bathilda Bagshot?

Joy of memory not really setting in 'til five. You don't know whether or not you were a holy terror when you were a kid.

He seemed a bit surprised that the name was known, but he nodded.

Staying with her for the summer. Felt like traveling, and she was the only relative I could think of outside Germany.

Oh, I know I wasn't once I went to stay with my aunt and uncle. They would have never allowed it.

~~Time traveling perhaps????~~

Your name wouldn't by chance be Gellert would it?

Inclined to think so. Let's just say that one should not try to concoct a potion from a book in Latin when you and the person you are working with have only a basic understanding of Latin. Large explosion, and this very much isn't 1899.

It would, actually. Gellert Grindelwald. And you are...?

~~I think this entire place is one big time warp.~~

Harry Potter. I was born in Godric's Hollow.

~~Entirely possible.~~

Ah. A nice neighborhood. Perhaps a little too quiet for my tastes, but.. It is through staying there ~~and my great-aunt being meddlesome and thinking I should do more than read in my room~~ that led me to meet Albus. So I cannot really complain, I suppose.

It wasn't really quiet when I lived there, or when I came back to visit.

Albus is extraordinary.

It was quiet while I was there. Dreadfully boring.

An eyebrow quirked slightly, and he sat up at bit straighter. You and he are acquainted?

My parents house was destroyed when I was one years old and I was the only survivor of the attack. When I came back to visit a giant snake attacked me.

Yes. He helped to raise me, and was my mentor for years.

Quite eventful! Very little of any kind happens around here far as I've seen.

He relaxed then, smiling faintly again. Ah, how interesting.

That is definitely one word for it.

My parents were friends with your aunt, actually. That was some time ago though.

Then again, I suppose most things would seem rather dull after Durmstrang. There was always something going on there.

How interesting. She is a nice woman. Very understanding about a teenager showing up on her doorstep in the middle of the night after only getting a letter asking if he could stay a week before.

I went to Hogwarts. I met Durmstrang students during the Triwizard tournament during my fourth year though.

From what I understand my mother adored her. She was very kind to my parents during a difficult time. My dad found Godric's Hollow as boring as you do.

I've heard a lot about Hogwarts from Albus. Does Durmstrang still encourage their students to settle personal arguments with dueling? Did when I went there!

Guess there are some temperaments that are better suited to living in one place than another. I, for one, like larger cities.

I believe so, but I'm not certain. Hermione would know more. She's kept in touch with Krum since he's gone back.

I'm rather fond of London.

It's foolish, really. They encourage us to duel, but then one duel gets a little out of hand, and what do they do? Expel their best student.

I like what I've seen of London. Spent a lot of time in Flourish and Blotts, researching with Albus. Knockturn Alley is fascinating too.

Harry Potter. I feel your pain.

Oh, no. I'm sorry, forgive me. I mock your pain and just so you know I'm ordering an extra dessert.

Thank you so much for this Harry. I'm getting so much done today!

You didn't, perchance, give him a lot of chocolate before I came to take him for the weekend?

If so, this is payback for the tiny bit of chocolate I had sent to him at Easter I suppose.

Anytime, Andi, anytime.

Were you aware that when he laughs at me he sounds remarkably like you.

Did I give him a lot of chocolate? It really rather depends on your definition of 'a lot'. You have to remember he's bound to have a high capacity for chocolate. A little just would never do.

Oh no, payback for Easter would have involved me finding him a bunny approximately his weight in chocolate!

Teddy is very fortunate to have you for a godfather. We're both lucky. Now, if you don't mind terribly...would you try not to encourage him to make someone else's face at them? The Muggle woman in the store the other day nearly fainted!

*laughing just like Teddy* It's all your imagination!

Thought so.

It didn't weigh as much as him. It wasn't even the largest bunny available...

I have no idea why you would assume I'm the one who encourages him to do that.

Of course it is.

Harry... that chocolate bunny needed its own basket! You had to carry it up the steps with both hands!

Well I certainly am not the one egging it on. And it always seems to be more frequent after he's spent time with you. Oh, don't think that I don't know Ronald is the one to teach him to say 'Percy is a git!' whenever we're at the Burrow!

Have you tried giving him a bath? If you put enough of those lovely smelling cocoa bubbles in the water it might get him sleepy sooner.

Well, yes, but it was not the biggest bunny in the shop. ~~The biggest bunny was already sold and waiting on someone to pick it up.~~

Heh, well you have to admit the look on Percy's face is hilarious.

Wouldn't the cocoa bubbles have caffeine in it and keep him awake?

*laughs*
