Order Only: Teddy Nott

[alt_hermione]

This afternoon, while Harry and Draco and the others were in Transfigurations, Teddy Nott went and found me reading. (Don't worry, everyone: I always transfigure the covers of my books so that they look like remedial readers or comics or something like that.) Anyway, he was obviously waiting for a chance to find me alone, when Harry was in a lesson, because he thought he could intimidate me into telling him some embarrassing secret.

I told him Harry has been clear in the past about people interfering with his mudblood without permission. He said something like 'How dare you speak back to a pureblood' and I tried to act contrite, looking down and just saying softly that I was only repeating what my master has said. He wasn't happy but he didn't hex me or anything, he just stood there and demanded that I answer his questions.

I said of course, I'd be happy to help however I could, provided it was something Harry would approve of me doing. He asked me a load of questions for a 'research project' he said he was working on but it was clear what he was looking for.

So. If Teddy seems to think I've got a hopeless crush on Professor Lestrange, and that I'm ever so jealous of Professor Sinistra, that's why.

What an idiot.

No, don't. I mean, if he's supposed to be gathering up my deep, dark secret I hardly think I'd have run and told you.

But when he does report his answer, that's when you can act. And I think you should have someone else show him why he shouldn't have done that. Teddy thinks authority is ordering people about, so maybe we should make it seem like you ordered someone else to have him on the carpet. Maybe his sponsor.

Okay. Yeah.
