Hard to imagine ever changing Anything changing my way Teddy ran his hand through his brown hair. It was getting a bit long, showing off its natural brown hue. Once upon a time, he kept it a fun turquoise blue for the fun of it, smiling every time his gran would glance at it. When his beard finally began to grow, it seemed silly to have a beard of the same color. And most of the time, Teddy felt desperate to blend in. Unfortunately, this was not always possible with his name, but he figured it was better than being infamous. The past nine months had reminded Teddy of much of those past times. Working on the Hogwarts rebuilding had brought a lot of nostalgia he hadn’t realized he was carrying.
But he was happy to do it. The first time he saw the aftermath up close he’d been speechless. And shocked to the point his hair went grey, literally. At this point in his life, Teddy felt he was at a place where finding balance with how he felt at any given time wasn’t terribly difficult. Taking a break from working on-site, Teddy made his way toward the village. His feet moved on their own while his mind wandered a bit. How many times had he walked this path during his school years? But now was as good a time as any. He’d been disappointed earlier to find he was out of chocolate.
As a boy, his gran always kept some around. Learning his father had preferred Honeydukes chocolate also helped him feel closer to his memory. A whisper or two had reached Teddy about the shop not doing well financially, which seemed to stir up many in the community as Honeydukes was a staple of the village. He only hoped it wouldn’t get replaced by some other franchise shop as in other parts of the magical world. Entering the shop, he heard the bell ring above the door. The shop appeared the same, though various boxes were stacked in corners or open near a shelf. They must have been restocking during the slower times of the week. But after a cursory glance at a few shelves, Teddy didn’t see those familiar chocolate bars. He hoped this would’ve been a quick visit, but now it was a hunt. Approaching the counter, Teddy peered around for anyone working. ”Hello?” Maybe they had chocolate in the back and hadn’t stocked the shelf yet.

▲ Hectic. That was the only way Flossie could describe her first few weeks of running Honeydukes. Owning Honeydukes. A dream come true, sure, but one that also meant a ton of sacrifice on her part. Her divorce was finalized only a week prior, she and Spencer finishing up the final paperwork whilst she was already back in the UK and getting the shop up and running. Everything sort of hit at once and it had been difficult, to say the least. Luckily, she knew how to run a business and distract herself, and with operating Honeydukes, the two went hand in hand. She had been left a long list of instructions by the Flumes. Most was contact information for distributors, but there were also directions on the house made candies. The ones that had always made Honeydukes, Honeydukes. That part honestly didn’t scare her too much, except that she felt like she was still missing something with their infamous chocolate. Despite spending the last half a decade as a private confectioner, she had nothing on the decades the Flumes had before her. Even with both showing her the exact recipe in person, it wasn’t clicking. Thus, Flossie had stripped the store of all of the chocolate until she could figure it out. She didn’t want customers to be able to tell the difference or buy her out of the remainder of her stock. It would be needed for taste comparisons. Today had started with restocks, as the amount of tourism with Hogwarts being rebuilt had kicked up a bit of business. Watching it go up piece by piece from her front window had been fascinating. But she couldn’t stand there and stare at the castle all day. Fixing the chocolate problem was her first order of business. It had to be all set by the time the school reopened and the students came back. They would demand that damn chocolate, and she was determined to have it perfected by then. Almost elbow deep in a giant bowl that she used to mix the chocolate, she didn’t hear the door to the shop jingle. It wasn’t until a voice called out that she managed to pull herself up, humungous spatula in hand, and poked her head out onto the floor. She couldn’t see the person, but knew they were still there. ”Hello! Over here!” she waved the spatula, a few droplets of liquid chocolate dripping down her forearm and onto the floor. Flossie could care less about that. It added to the atmosphere. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Hard to imagine ever changing Anything changing my way Teddy heard a voice call out; it sounded far away, which felt impossible with the size of the shop. Still, perhaps they were stuck behind something. He’d seen it before at the Weasley’s joke shop as he helped Lily get out from behind a stack of boxes she managed to trap herself behind. That one was still a mystery to him, but he hadn’t tried to understand that puzzle. Walking down the aisles, the organized rows of various treats never ceased to amaze him. Maybe because his Gran had been a bit strict in letting him choose only one or two during a visit when he’d wanted the whole lot. But what child didn’t’?
”Hello?” Teddy called again as he turned a corner. Through a door frame, he spotted red hair. At first Lily came to mind, but that wouldn’t have made sense. She’d be back in London working. Curious, he got closer and realized he recognized the profile. ”Flossie?” Merlin, how long had it been? Their school years felt like so long ago and Teddy had spent a lot of time in Diagon Alley when he was young. Harry would bring him when they’d get school supplies or when he’d have some business to conduct. Often, Teddy would stop by Fortescue’s, get a bit of ice cream with the pocket money his Gran gave him, and sit outside and draw.
Sometimes, Flossie or Vasilia would ask him what he was drawing, and Teddy would show them some doodle or sketch he was working on. The family had always been kind to him, especially with the occasional free scoop of ice cream.

▲ Flossie had considered having some modifications to the store once she had enough money for it. Making a viewing room into the kitchen area sounded like a great idea to her. Not only did that allow customers to watch her work, but it also let her have a better view of the shop. As it was, she was through a doorway and completely blocked off from everything. On quiet days, like today, she tried to get extra work done. But then she was stuck with her hands quite literally in mixing bowls. She heard her name called, or asked rather, and looked up from her chocolate workout. It took a moment, because she was pretty sure the last time she had seen Teddy Lupin, he’d had a head full of brightly colored hair. The shock of seeing him with normal, brown hair had her almost dropping her jaw. ”Teddy?” she asked, almost uncertain that it was him for a moment. There had been times growing up where she’d seen him ‘normal’, but a metamorphmagus being this way seemed impractical and out of character. ”Hold on one uhhh…one moment,” she started to quickly set her kitchen utensils down in places where they wouldn’t suddenly end up on the floor. That was almost inevitable sometimes, with the way she bombed around her shop. Throwing the giant spatula into the bowl as well, she quickly washed her hands off and went to meet Teddy out in the shop. ”Surprise?” she said, putting her hands up in the air. ”It happened so fast. The Flumes had to sell, I was coming back, and yeah…how’ve you been?” It really did all feel sort of unreal at times. The last year had been hell between losing her father, finalizing the divorce, and then moving back to Diagon Alley. Having this pop up was the perfect way to escape it all. At least that was how she was currently looking at it. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0
