in his defence, he'd put the toothpaste on his toothbrush. but that was as far as teddy lupin had gone when it came to brushing his teeth. he hadn't been able to help getting distracted though, he'd looked at himself in the ageing bathroom mirror, with it's paint peeling off the sides and scratches and marks in it, and he'd wondered to himself what he'd look like with purple eyes. so he'd looked at himself, thought really hard on it and suddenly his eyes were a bright purple. he couldn't hold the colour for long but it was enough to make him giggle at how he looked. over the course of the next five minutes he'd given himself purple eyes, green hair and a nose that almost touched the mirror. it was a strange feeling to feel his face growing and changing but it was always funny for him to see the results. he laughed as his nose almost snapped back to it's regular size and he rubbed it with a finger. he jumped a little when he heard his grandmothers voice float up the stairs from the landing telling him he'd better have finished with his teeth and be in bed. his eyes widened as he grabbed his toothbrush, ran it over his teeth a few times before he spat into the sink while rinsing off the brush and as quick as he'd started he turned the tap off. he hit the light switch as he hurried from the room, scrambling to get himself into bed, snuggling himself down into the blankets just as his grandmother came in to kiss him goodnight, a knowing smile hidden within her eyes.
