prologue
<<you damn bitch! come here you little brat!>> the voice filled up the entire Hogwarts castel.
It's a heat afternoon, every student is studing outside enjoying the good weather under the trees, everyone exept him.
he's running away from the slytherin he has bothers with much care, their footsteps are udible from the garden, but no one is really paying attention, the slytherin boy, Deryck Zabini, is somenone who gets pissed easly, so is really common for Hogwarts' students having this kinda of scenes.
the slytherin in question was victim of a prank, so he's currently running bald, throwing curses to the blue haired boy, who hair changing to green for the fear and pink from the fun.
<<stupeficium!>>
<<are you fucking gone?>> he turns back is head for looking at Deryck and the boy has grabbed his shoulder and he pushed him on the wall clearly angry
<<are you serious?>> Deryck points the wand on him <<you have literally made me bald, little slut...>> he was proably ready to curse him, but other steps running to the corridor stoped him << what's happens, why are you two making all of those noises?>>
Professor McGonagall, nothing less than the principal, are looking at them with hands on her hips <<Mr Zabin may you stop threaten Mr Lupin?>> as she spoke the boy let teddy go <<and you, Mr Lupin may you stop...>>she looks up and down Deryck and passes her hand over her face<<...whatever is this,I expect to see you both in my office tomorrow at five p.m i will find something to do with you two>>
As she has gone, Zabini points Lupin one more time and says <<dare to do another thing like this, and i will curse you until you beg me to stop>> Teddy nods not really cares, he deserved, and, the hair will grow in a pair of houres, but he didn't tell.

<<Teddy what the hell>> the blond haired girl is done with him <<It's okay Vic, everything for see him like this>> he chuckles and Vic just rolls her eyes up <<you're so fucking immature.>>
<<it was fun>> <<what he had do for gush your reaction?>>
he just shrugs <<he's an idiot, and he was disrespectful the whole year...>> he stops noticing Vic's expression and he snorted <<okay, fine, he messed with a friend of mine, and he called them in... terrible terms, i don't want to know why they was close with him>>
<<hm...i feel you...>> she didn't add nothing, there will be summer hollidays soon, so she doesn't want to argue with him.
Victorie thinks that he's really irrecoverable, he's quite te opposite of her.
She's smart, loves to study, calm and indipendent, never making troubles.
Teddy...uh, he was always into something.
Not always good, most of the times it wasn't good.
<<we have just one week left, two houres of punishment can't change my mood>> he said smiling.
<<alright, life is yours by the way, i can't complain if you're a kid>>
<<don't be so drammatic, im not a kid>>
in the meanwhile, the sun started to set, and people to return inside for dinner.
The two guys always thought to hogwarts like a second home, a safe place, when they could be theirselfes, even if people dislike they real personality, Harry and Bill said to feel free to be who they want.
Magic doesn't save them from normal teenagers problems.
The morning after, at breakfast, the blue haired boy received a howler from Ginny and Harry where they scolded him for the prank, but also a normal letter from Harry where he said that he has doing a fun thing, but he add to not doing that again.
Teddy smiles as he reads.
<< Teddy >> Vic calls him << yeah? >> he raises his head from the paper << what? >> Vic sits to the Hufflepuff table fixing her Ravenclaw tie << did they scolded you? >> she asks, Teddy just shrugs << a bit, how's better that they do >> he said normally, putting away the letters << okay, its only si days left, don't be such a brat and do your best for homeworks and class...you know >> The blondie seems serious << who are you? my mom? its okay Vic, I know >> Vic shigs, there wasn't an arrogant tone in his words, she knows that he apreciate the littles remainders that she does.
And, as far as he concerned, Teddy was not mean, just distracted and impulsive, he could never mess up with the only family he has.
<< alright then, i think i see you at lunch >>
<< yes, see ya >>
Vic is in her third year, and Teddy in his fourth, so the only ways for see each other are the breaks.
Victorie smiles and then goes for her class, he watches her walk and he gets up too, stretch his arms and taking his shoulder bag he walked for his class.
The morning passed him by like nothing, he is currently get ready for going to the principal office, that afternoon is extremely hot, he sighs deeply, taking into consideration to get a quick shower before go.
He always try to take his mind busy so he can not lost in his own thoughts, its sucha weird things he doesn't know how explain that being alone with just himself its hard, he takes of his shirt.
He stops like something suddently happens, he looks at himself quickly, he consider himself a bit weird at his own eyes, he looks at himself and he can just think how he feels a bit empty inside, like he's wearing a mask with everyone.
He just stops overthinking, he was almost lost in his thoughs again.
"every human being has this kind of problems, shut the fuck up"
Sometimes happens to get lost in his mind, and he just don't like this, he don't like the way he can not manage his emotions.
So he fake and play most of the time.
"it happens to every person" he says to himself.
Then somenone breaks into the dorm << what the hell >> he put his shirt back right away, hoping he doesn't see nothing, and looks to the shlytherin in the hufflepuff dorm << what do you want? >> he asks << im here for check >> his eyes widening << what- check what? >>
<< that you're not coming late. >> Deryck leans against the wall and Teddy looks at the clock << I have 30 minutes left, im not going to come late >> he seems a bit annoyed.
<< and so? >> Zabini asked quietely, Teddy crossed his arms << are you dumb or something, i need to- >> he started to talk but suddently stops << who tells you the doorm's password? >>
He shrugs and smirks << who knows? >> he leans in closer << its almost the time, come on >> Teddy snorts << alright >> he said and just leaning the way for the exit.
"what an anxious sociopath" he thought, they walked straightly for McGonagall's office, but Teddy kept his distance from Zabini.
Deryck is older, taller, and stronger than him, he is a quidditch player, one of the best, so he really doesn't want to mess up with him.
well, he had to think twice.
But at the least, Teddy is good with defense against the dark arts if this can help.
<< you're in time, good >> The professor speak << i think that you can start by clean all of the classrooms of this floor >> she takes a box << i want your wands here >>
They didn't complain, and after giving them the wands, they starts to devide the classes among themselves.
The hours passed, heavy and boring, it was almost time for dinner and the last classroom remained, Zabini was already in, and he turns whe Teddy enters.
<< why are you looking at me? >> as he spoke Teddy holds a sigh << you're literally in front of me >> he said quietly spreading his arms in a theatral way.
He's tired.
<< are you joking? >>
<< there's something to joke about? >> he asks ironically, Zabini looks at him with fire eyes << i don't like you at all, you halfblo- >>
<< oh my lord, please shut the fuck up >> he said quickly covering his ears << we are not on the war time, don't say bullshit about blood or som- >>
<< oh, maybe your parents never teach you that interrupt somenone who's talking is rude >>
Zabini smirks and Teddy's eyes widened in surprise.
Something in the air stops.
He's used to certain comments about his...situation, but he's not the only one who remained orphan by the war and he didn't expect him to take this topic now, totally random.
<< the fuck did you just said >> he can feel his body being filled by anger, that is a sensitive spot.
Everyone knows.
He feels moved, not in a good way.
<< your parents should have taught you to be polite >>
Its just a few defiances to which he's used to, but in that moment he really would to hit him, he stepped close, that veil of anger was feeble, it but was here.
He sees red, he feels the time being heavy.
<< did you two finish? >> the voice of the Professor distracted him, it was the only thing that makes him stop.
So they go to the dinner like always, when they arrive to the enter Deryck pokes his shoulder << say hello to your parents when you see them hm? >>
He just sighs deeply, he wanted to hit him so bad, he want to answer, he wanted to do many things.
But he just enters, ignoring him.
He feels so bothered about that little things?
His mood is always so unstable or its just now?
Probably he's gonna forgot about this feeling tomorrow, while trying do deal with his own weird attitude, where he can't explain how he feels at the end of the day.
