PERSONALITY Teddy was always a quiet boy, although his hair, eyes changing color, or perhaps a part of his face was often loud enough. His gran often remarked how his late mother was the same growing up. Although Tonks would never be described as an introvert. In that regard, Teddy takes after his father. But in many regards, Teddy takes after both of his parents, with the influence of his remaining and adopted families. One thing for sure: Teddy was always observant, and Andromeda would remark on how wise her grandson was beyond his years. Of course, opinions would change as he grew older and befriended the next generation of Potters and Weasleys, but Teddy was known to keep a level head and avoid too much trouble. Despite the constant circle of support, Teddy often longs for what he cannot have–parents like everybody else. This longing, though not torturous, is a constant companion. Teddy had little regard for certain personalities as a boy and during his school years: those who sought to intimidate others because they could, or the unkind and cold. Teddy is caring, empathetic, and always willing to lend an ear. The older he grew, the more he understood how he felt at any given point–as much as possible at any given time. However, expressing all that was inside proved difficult. Like the translation of words was unavailable to him. But aside from that, he is very easygoing and grounded. Like a true Hufflepuff (like his mother), Teddy is incredibly loyal and protective of those he loves and cares about. Like the gold and yellow of his house colors, Teddy has a heart of gold and a love of the world around him. As a metamorphmagus, like his mother, extreme emotions visually affect how his hair and eyes may appear. While turquoise was his favorite color as a teenager, these days, he keeps it brown and can keep it as such for the most part. History has always fascinated him. Aside from the constant stories Harry or the Weasleys told him about the great Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. So, Teddy loved to read and take in information. Find more context to the stories and the world at the time. Suddenly, a picture of The Order of the Phoenix was no longer just a picture but a snapshot in time with all Teddy had learned of the world then. And even though it still hurts a bit, Teddy enjoys hearing stories though perhaps he merely enjoys how happy the storyteller gets while sharing their story. When not with his nose in a book, Teddy can be found in a quiet area drawing in a notebook. Despite what his grandmother tells him, he doesn’t consider his skills to be anything of remark or worthy of Galleons or a museum. It's a hobby, a way to pass the time or think through something. Teddy also protects his quiet time, as he needs it to recharge mentally. Through his work, Teddy can maintain that independence. He avoids the spotlight as much as possible and positions of power–not out of fear but simply because he isn’t interested. With this style of work, Teddy also avoids the hassle of anyone hovering over his work. He’s happy to work at a reasonable pace, but as someone who considers trust among the most important parts of any relationship–he will be angry at the micromanagement behavior. Teddy loves to travel, which can pose a problem in the world of relationships. One of his longer relationships was with Victoire Weasley. A journey that began during their overlapping years at Hogwarts and ended in the middle of her final year. The breakup was amicable, fortunately. Teddy will always care deeply for Victoire as they remain friends. So, while Teddy isn’t looking, he isn’t against dating entirely. He has been known to date here or there, but things fizzle out. Perhaps his idealism gets in the way, or he has difficulty always communicating his feelings. And it doesn’t take long for a misspoken word to offend Teddy in some way, although it goes on much like this as Teddy is much the type to set himself on fire to keep someone else warm. ORIGIN & RELATIONS Near Godric's Hollow Remus Lupin - father, b.1960 [deceased] Nymphadora Tonks - mother, b.1973 [deceased] Andromeda `nee Black Tonks - grandmother, b.1953 Ted Tonks - grandfather [deceased] Lyall Lupin - grandfather [deceased] Hope `nee Howell Lupin - grandmother [deceased] Extended Black Family: scorpius hyperion malfoy - 2nd Cousin, b.2005 HARRY JAMES POTTER - godfather, b. 1980 HISTORY The closest Teddy ever got to meeting his parents was through the moving pictures kept in albums by his grandmother. Growing up, he felt no different than any other magical boy. His grandmother and his godfather, Harry Potter, were always wonderful. It wasn’t until Teddy was far older that he realized what an alternative could have been—something like how Harry was raised, which sounded awful and lonely. Fortunately, Teddy took this to heart, not that he was never grateful for the circle of support around him. With that circle of support came all the stories. Even if it was the tenth time Uncle Ron told the story of his father teaching them how to battle boggarts, Teddy intently listened like it was the first time. It was clear they all missed his mother and father dearly. Molly Weasley kept Teddy as fed as his grandmother did–it was no wonder he didn’t grow to the size of an erumpent. An orange one, perhaps. Andromeda Tonks, however, was fiercely protective of her grandson and still even as Teddy passed the age of thirty. He does his best to visit and write despite his traveling. In fact, if he comes home and doesn’t visit, he feels terribly guilty. So, he felt his childhood was normal or as normal as it could be in those circumstances. Early on, Teddy was able to observe that his family was not typical, but between all the pictures and stories, he knew why. Nobody was surprised when he received his Hogwarts letter. Even though this was fully expected, it didn’t stop Andromeda from beaming with pride. The sorting hat always seemed to recognize Teddy once it touched his head, his hair growing greyer as he waited for the hat to decide. Teddy wasn’t afraid of any particular house, but he was worried that the Sorting Hat might identify that he couldn’t match up to his parents or their legacy. While the hat waffled briefly, Teddy wondered if he would sort into Gryffindor as his father or Hufflepuff as his mother. But then the Hat made its choice–Hufflepuff. School also felt normal; by the time the next generation of Potters and Weasleys went to Hogwarts, Teddy was much older. He played Quidditch on the Hufflepuff House team as a Keeper and was happy to be a part of it. His grandmother had to sit down when a letter arrived the summer before Teddy’s fifth year with his newly minted Prefect badge. Teddy was happy for the honor, although not entirely excited about such a position. Even on the Quidditch team, he was glad to follow along rather than take charge. Still, since he was given this task, he would do his best. Academically, he did well in history of magic, herbology, defense against the dark arts, and charms. Transfiguration and potions, however, had a habit of crushing his spirits a little bit. With OWLs fast approaching, people wondered if he would seek to become an Auror like his mother or Harry or work in Magical Law Enforcement. Perhaps work in politics and policy like his Aunt Hermione. But Teddy focused on what was in front of him, which greatly helped him control that stress. Plus, he had found love. Teddy had grown up alongside Victoire, her siblings, and cousins, though she was the closest in age to him. And somewhere during those school years, they fell for one another. Of course, the family was delighted as they loved Teddy as one of their own. Before his final year of school, Teddy was informed he would be Head Boy. Again, there were many congratulations, and Teddy wished it were someone else. Now, it wasn’t simply the responsibility of a prefect but being in charge of them. At least someone else was appointed Quidditch Captain that year. But again, he took the role seriously. In the end, despite his lack of ambition for the role, his personality seemed the right fit. After leaving Hogwarts, Teddy was offered a job at Merlin’s Mystical Museum of Magic. While he received a decent number of NEWTs, it would not allow him to pursue Law Enforcement–but in the end, Teddy realized he didn’t want to. Within his first week at the museum as an assistant curator, Teddy realized he loved this job. Unfortunately, sometime before the end of the year, his relationship with Victoire dissolved. They remained friends, however. The longer he worked at the Museum, the more he was allowed to travel around the world to collect artifacts and items. His knack for History and charms reminded some of how his father was a natural when teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. But Teddy would never claim to be on par with the former Cursebreakers who worked at the Museum. Teddy traveled often but always wrote home to his grandmother and loved ones. Soon, Andromeda created an album of postcards from everywhere Teddy traveled and wrote. A cursebreaker helped Teddy create postcards with magically moving pictures. They were small effects, such as a light breeze moving a palm tree’s great leaves. After a few years, the same cursebreaker taught Teddy how to create them himself. After a few more years, Teddy would draw and charm the postcards himself. His sketchbook was never far from him as he drew inspiration wherever he went. Drawing was always a calming and private hobby, but he'd draw something to sell whenever he needed a few extra coins. His work was enjoyable, and as the years passed, Teddy still saw all those pseudo-cousins as kids until they weren’t. Teddy was in the United States when he heard about what was occurring at Hogwarts in the sprint of 2023. Teddy was close to James Potter, so he rushed home to check on everyone. It wasn’t something he expected in the present–these things were always in the past. They were all rattled. But it didn’t stop there, as King’s Cross also became a target that summer. The Museum stopped them from traveling for a time as the international risk grew. Not even speaking to his ex-girlfriend, the Minister for Magic incidentally, calmed Teddy’s nerves. He spent that time working but also checking in on his friends, and his grandmother kept her sanity only because Teddy still lived with her. With all his traveling, it was more convenient than renting a flat. The world seemed to calm down as the Tri-Wizard tournament continued at Hogwarts. Teddy returned to traveling for work and returned as they celebrated the Hogwarts Champion–Molly Weasley, someone he had grown up with. However, every up has its down, as another attack near the anniversary of the previous year’s King’s Cross attack. Again, Teddy checked on his friends and was profoundly grateful none of them were hurt; however, he felt awful about the visiting students. Then, the final blow–Harry Potter went missing. To say this hurt Teddy was, to put it mildly. He even caught the sadness in his grandmother’s eyes, and for a long time, Teddy’s hair couldn’t seem to shift out of its pale color spectrum. It hit Teddy how much Harry had served as a father figure, someone he greatly respected and admired, and he was just…gone. As much as Teddy wanted to wallow, he took some personal time from work to stay home and spend time with everyone. He had plenty of time saved up and worried about James and the rest of the family, though he only helped where they allowed. Near the end of summer, they found Harry’s wand, and he was presumed dead. This affected everybody. But what could be done except keep going? And so Teddy did, even as the great prison Azkaban fell later that year. A fear entered his grandmother’s eyes that Teddy hadn’t seen before, and he remembered the stories of her older sister from the past. Around this time, he was approached by a producer from Witch TV. They sought consultants and writers for the content they were developing and needed to ensure historical accuracy. Teddy thought it would be exciting and signed on for the year. Some of the content was focused on a younger audience. Teddy found it interesting to write and develop these topics into something digestible for a young mind but also formulate it for older kids and adults. Mostly everyone, if they hadn’t lived under a rock, would know of the legendary Professor Binns and his endless lectures. Even his Aunt Hermione couldn’t stop her physical reaction at the mention. These are just more of those stories he was told as a boy. However, as more of that work was ramping up, another incident at the Quidditch Final happened. As a Quidditch fan, Teddy attended, of course, as he always tried to. But things went badly, and Hermione Granger was killed. Hardly a year had passed since Harry was presumed dead, and now Hermione Granger. This weighed heavily on the family. Andromeda Tonks made a (somewhat) rare appearance at The Burrow, even making tea for Molly and Ron. In a few short years, death and destruction felt commonplace. Teddy found solace in his work and searched the past for answers to questions he didn’t know yet. While he was not allowed to enter Britain due to Hag’s Fever, he spent much time on Hy-Brasil. Of course, he arrived as a representative of the Museum and continued his work with Witch TV as much as he could remotely. But reading books and experiencing a culture were two very different things. Some of the Druids eyed him carefully, and Teddy didn’t learn why until he learned how Werewolves played in their culture. While Teddy was not a werewolf, his father had been, so he didn’t push it. Fortunately, the quarantine ended, and he was allowed back home. However, just after the new year, Teddy received news while in Greece. Harry Potter was alive? No, this must have been a hoax—or so he would’ve thought if not for his grandmother’s unmistakable handwriting. Arriving home, Harry was alive, and Teddy felt relieved but conflicted. A rare anger surfaced in him that took him some time to process. Teddy wasn’t one to take lies or betrayal easily, especially from someone he trusted so implicitly. Teddy always calmed quickly and realized he needed time, but forgiveness was only ever just over the horizon. It was a strange bit of good news and Teddy continued to enjoy his work with Witch TV, even considering taking a bigger role there, but again, the universe had other plans. Hearing that Hogwarts had fallen provoked a strange reaction in Teddy and others. While he was not present, the haunted look on Harry, James, and other’s faces told him enough. When comparisons were drawn to the Battle of Hogwarts that had taken his parents, Teddy had to sit down figuratively. In the aftermath, the Ministry created a council to begin rebuilding, and students were invited by other magical schools in the interim. Teddy found a place on that council assisting in saving and restoring what artifacts, paintings, and other items could be retrieved from the rubble. The ruins would remain as a reminder of what happened, who was lost, and the history that remained. The Museum gladly let Teddy pursue this work. With so much work to do, he stopped working for Witch TV. In the end, the hard work paid off, and Hogwarts reopened for the Summer term the following year. While the school no longer had a Headmistress but rather a council, Teddy inquired about teaching. Many were not returning, so the school desperately needed staff. After consideration, they accepted. Teddy left the Museum after a decade. The normally shy man took a little while to find his footing, but he enjoyed finding ways to make History enjoyable to third years as he saw it. History of Magic no longer became a place to catch up on assignments or nap. Teddy misses traveling, but with this new schedule, he again fell into consulting for Witch TV. Entering his second year of teaching, Teddy feels good where things stand and hopes the bad things will stay firmly in the past. SITE EVENTS REACTION Teddy is very close to the extended Potter and Weasley families. Even though he traveled quite a bit for work, he was present at the Quidditch Cup final, but he was fortunately unharmed. Still, events such as Elaine's first and second attacks at Hogwarts were personal to him. This is why he volunteered to help in some capacity with the rebuilding, even if only to help find and restore artifacts and portraits from the rubble. With his new role at Hogwarts, he isn't away from home so often. WANT AD
