I'm quite fond of it blue, honestly.

Yeah? Like those photo's of mum with it this colour.

You mum favored the pink, but between us I rather fancied the purple on her. Have you decided on your favorite colour yet?

*hair turns red*

Quite like this, although blue is pretty cool!

Red comes in right after blue as my favorite. You look like an honorary Weasley!

Yeah, Gin' said that too *runs his hands through his hair and smiles* Like one of the family.

Also we're havin' chicken dumplin's tomorrow and um *rubs the back of his head* Can I ask somethin, Gin's last year at school when you and the other's were doing other stuff, you missed her yeah? Cause...well...I sorta miss Vic.

You are one of the family. You know that.

*smiles, nodding his head* It was hard. Even being gone during my seventh year and knowing that she was back at school for her sixth drove me a bit mad. You can try owls, and of course there are the weekends in Hogsmead.

Keep in mind I wouldn't be surprised if James intercepts any of the owls and immediately lets everyone knows what is said. He can be a bit like his uncle Ron at times.

*nods, smiling at his godfather*

Thanks, last year was hard enough but this one...the summer was bloody brilliant and her not being around as much *shrugs, trying to underplay his feelings for her* it's just weird.

*Laughs* Too much time with Ron and George in the shop, best he's been hearning a few bad tricks.

It will be Christmas before you know it. There is usually a trip to Hogsmead for Halloween. You are welcome to spend as much time at the house in the mean time. I'm sure we can find something to keep you busy. Lily will have an idea or ten of course.

*shakes his head, clearly amused* Oh he is chalk full of bad habits. I'm waiting for the day that Al takes him down a notch or two. It will be good for him you know.

*looks at him*

Lily, she'd probably have me playing dress up.

I'm partial to red.

*grins, his hair changing to red*

Just for you Gin'

*grins* You could almost be a Weasley!

*changes it again for a better Weasley look*

Think this is better!

Look at you, practically family! *smiles*

We are family...Aunt Gin

And now you look the part.

*smiles*

So, dinner tomorrow, what we havin?

*laughs* Uhh... chicken dumplings?

*looks around to make sure no-one is looking and hugs her, kissing her cheek*

You're the best, you know that.

Ron and Al do tell me that frequently, but it's really nice to hear! *grins*

*looks a little sad*

We're family right.

Teddy, you're just as much part of this family as Lily and James, and your Mum and Dad would be so proud of you.

Gran tells me all these stories, I'm glad I'm not clumsey like mum, but I miss them and no matter what anyone said I wouldn't want anyone else to have been my mum and dad. I'm lucky to be their son.

*nods* You are lucky. They were the best.

And you know, I don't care, about the werewolf thing. S'all just crap anyway, stuff people say.

Looking good, Teddy.

Watch'ya Al *grabs him and rubs his hair playfully* Not here to tell your dad on me are ya?

*flails* Hey, it's messy enough on its own, Teddy. *and an affronted look* What do you take me for? James?

Nah, you're less of a pain in the ass than he is *lets him go* And the hair's cool.

Hey, hon.

I did enjoy the turquoise on you too. But then, all non-boring colours are fun, aren't they.

ooc: yeah, she's sort of a ghost. so what?

alright mum?

*sighs* bloody hell I miss you

Alright. Wotcher, boy.

*cups his cheek with her palm* I know. But you've done great! *grins* And what's new?

ooc: OK, in Sirius' example, a little bit more than a plain ghost ;) And yay for the next generation!

*hugs her hard, not letting go but breathing in her scent, remembering everything he can*

I'm so proud of you mum, you and dad.

*doesn't let go*

*hugs back just as tight, relishing his being so close to her*

That's so good. Tried to do what had to be done. Sorry that we... slipped in the end.

*pulls back just enough to be able to see his face*

But look at you! Grown and proud and everything!! So many questions I want to ask...
