"quiet, they can hear us" jeddy<333
God, I love these two so much.
Huge family dinners were a regular occurrence in the Potter household.
Everyone brought food and drink (which mostly led to them having 8 bottles of wine and 10 different desserts)
People usually arrived in the same order as well.
Ginny would open the door for Hermione, Ron and the kids right on time. Next came Molly and Arthur a few minutes later. Fred’s family maybe 10. Bill and Fleur a few minutes after them and so on.
When it got past the hour mark, only James was left waiting by the door, sat on the bottom step of the staircase.
He’d entertain himself, picking threads from the carpet, until he heard the faint pop just outside the door.
He was up in a second, swinging the door open.
Teddy’s fist was still raised in a motion to knock. He didn’t have time to lower it, his smile hadn’t even fully formed on his face before James was pulling him over the threshold by the collar of his jacket and molding their lips together.
Teddy let out a surprised, breathy laugh into James’ mouth, before kissing back hungrily.
“Late. As usual.” James mumbled against Teddy’s mouth before pressing another hard kiss to it.
Teddy smirked, palms warm around James’ hips as he backed him up against the hall closet. His teeth scraped gently against James lip, “Waiting. As usual.”
James scoffed and Teddy leaned back, only enough so that he could see Teddy clearly. Their hips and most of their chests still pressed together.
“I wouldn’t have to wait if you weren’t always so late.”
Teddy grinned, “Why on earth would I be on time when instead I get kissed before I’m even through the door? Besides…” He leaned in again, nosing along James’ cheek, lips dragging along his jaw, “If I was on time, there would be family everywhere and we wouldn’t get to do this…”
James bit his lip, head falling back against the closet door as Teddy started placing open-mouthed kisses down the column of his neck.
“Yeah…” James’ fingers curled into Teddy’s hair, eyes falling shut, “Maybe you should be late.”
“Mhm.” Teddy answered shortly, mouth otherwise occupied with one of James’ collarbones.
James only just had the mind to tell him off about leaving any marks, “I got way too many questions last time- especially from dad.”
Teddy withdrew his head and raised an eyebrow at James, “What was Harry doing asking questions about a hickey on your neck?”
“Because.” James said distressed, “He’s always asking if I’ve met anyone and then there was that so obviously I had met someone-“
There was a sudden voice from the other room, “James? Is Ted here yet?”
James’ eyes widened, “Speak of the devil.”
Teddy bit his lip, eyeing the already forming splotch of purplish-red on Teddy’s collar bone where his lips had been moments before, “C’mon.”
He hurriedly opened the closet door and yanked James inside after him before closing it as quietly as possible.
“What the-“
“Shh.” Teddy pressed a finger to James lips.
“James? Are you even out there?”
When no reply came again Harry sighed, leaning in to kiss Ginny on the cheek, “Be right back.”
Ginny nodded, “I swear to Merlin, if he’s eating the cake again-“
Harry laughed, before making his way into the entry hall. He was about to call out James’ name again when-
“What the bloody hell are we doing in here?”
Harry’s eyes instantly narrowed in on the closet - the source of what was clearly James’ voice.
“Quiet- they can hear us.”
Another voice. Harry tilted his head, risking one step forward, trying to figure out who it was. It was clearly a boy’s.
“Well, I don’t understand why we couldn’t have just gone out there and then, y’know, finished that off later, they’re gonna wonder where we a-“
“No… What they’re going to wonder about is… that…”
There was a beat of silence before, “Teddy!”
Ah, Harry thought, So Teddy.
Ironic really, that the two boys had taken to hiding something that practically everyone had already guessed about.
“The second I tell you not to- and then you already have- Jesus fucking christ, it’s the dead of summer I can’t wear a fucking turtle neck!-“
“I’m sorry. I can’t- you’r just so-“ A sigh, “I can’t help it..”
Harry smirked, guessing as to what they were talking about.
“Well- Well-“ James cursed, “Why do you have to be so fucking cute about it-“
“I’m not cute-“
“You’re bloody cute. Now let’s get out of here before anyone comes. I don’t hear anything, I think it’s safe-“
With a start Harry saw the door handle starting to turn. He tried to casually sprint back into the living room and huffed down into his previous spot on the couch.
Ginny raised an eyebrow, “What’s wrong?”
“What?” Harry puffed, “Nothing. Why is something wrong?”
Ginny’s brow arched further. Harry endured her stare for only a moment before cracking.
He leaned in, “Y’know James?”
“Our son?”
“Yeah.”
Ginny shot him a look, “Well, yes Harry, I do believe I know James.”
“Oh.” Harry flushed, “Right. Well, y’know Teddy?”
“Yes. Of course, what are you-“
Harry was the one to raise his eyebrows this time.
“What- oh. Oh.”
Ginny grinned, “Well at least now we know why he never brings anyone home.”
Personally I love Ron as a character because he himself isn't exactly one-sided. Like he obviously isn't the most perfect character to ever he written, but I think that was kind of the point.
With Hermione, in most instances she wasn't my cup of tea because honestly our personalities conflict so much with each other, but she's still one of my favorites despite this. Yes, I think she deserved someone so much better than Ron, I mean Hermione freaking Granger deserved the world and instead she's stuck in this perpetual vortex of mundanity with and admittedly handsome redhead with more insecurity problems than cheese cake.
However, they definately have their amazingly cute moments.
But I do agree, Ron and Hermione just weren't compatible. Hermione needs someone who can match up to her emotional maturity level and just kind of take care of her even though we all know she can take care of herself. And Ron just needs anyone to give him attention I guess. Honestly I think Ron is just one of those people who works best single, you know?
Like they definately worked-ish for a bit but their marriage I can see going up in flames.
Why don't you ship Ron and Hermione ?
I don’t find that they have compatible personalities and I hate friends to lovers tropes when the guy doesn’t notice or treat the girl very nicely until someone else takes notice of her and then he gets mad about it.
I’m ok with them doing the “we dated in high school” thing but married with kids? Nah.

That’s disgusting.
Well done society.
Well done.
Keep the flame going for those we have lost to suicide.
Can we all agree that:
Seeing that Teddy Lupin is just like Tonks; being a metamorphmagus.
Teddy morphing into people who are having a hard time whether they should dye or cut their hair.
So in that way, they can see what they would look like if they did it, also helping them if it looked bad/good on them.

Random Teddy/James headcanons….
James won’t let anyone call him anything except James, except for Teddy who has about 100 different nicknames and terms of endearment for him and is the only one who would ever get away with it
Teddy always has chocolate in his pockets, and sometimes he forgets about it until after things have gotten a bit hot and heavy with James and he finds the melted sweets. James always laughs at him, taking Teddy’s fingers with a wicked smile and licking it off.
James loves Teddy’s appearance, loves his piercings and tattoos and his wild hair. It’s so unaffectedly Teddy; its bold and unforgettable. But his favorite is when Teddy is sleeping, when everything sort of slips away and he’s so relaxed, his hair its natural plain brown and his face so relaxed. James loves him like this the most not because he’s less of anything, but because James knows he is the only one who gets to see him like this.
No matter how old James get, or how long they date, he never seems to get tired of broomstick innuendo, sliding up behind Teddy at family dinners and gleefully whispering “Wanna go for a ride on my broom, Lupin?”
James has no shame. At all. It isn’t long before the family stops looking for them when they go missing on holidays or celebrations because they already know what they’re likely to stumble upon.
No matter how much James pretends not to be sappy or sentimental, Teddy knows it isn’t true. Teddy knows he keeps a box hidden under the bed with cards and travel tickets and little things Teddy has given him.
Teddy isn’t sentimental, not the way James is. He doesn’t need bold romantic declarations and he doesn’t keep cards and letters. All he needs is James, right beside him, all he needs is one touch or kiss to remember everything.

Harry insists on buying a CD player for his home in London with Ginny.
Curious, he buys her a CD, one that he knows a lot of Muggle girls like but he’s only ever heard in passing. (He’s had Dark Lords and Death Eaters to worry about, you know.)
And within minutes he regrets his life choices because Ginny is rocking out to “I Want It That Way” by some boy band called the Backstreet Boys on repeat.
She asks Hermione about them and they buy every single boy band album from the 80′s on.
They continue this for several years as new albums come out and Harry has more or less given Ginny the CD player.
(Not that he particularly minds because she’s actually kind of cute when she’s dancing and singing along with a young Teddy and she doesn’t think he’s looking.)
She puts headphones on her pregnant belly and tells James Sirius Potter that he’s going to be such a charmer.
Harry protests that she’s going to brainwash their baby before he’s even born but when has she ever taken his half-hearted arguments seriously?
Eighteen years later James Sirius is tall and broad, a chiseled mix of Bill’s height and Fred and George’s stockiness, and singing some song that he’s heard Ginny hum before and Teddy pretends he isn’t watching him with a lopsided smile.
James pretends that Teddy isn’t pretending to watch him
Harry pretends that he isn’t seeing them silently flirt and mumbles to Ginny that it’s all her fault with a light smile on his face.
Ginny laughs and continues braiding Lily Luna’s hair.
“But he’s charming, isn’t he?”
Harry looks up from his morning paper just in time to see James Sirius holding out a sunflower he conjured in his palm to Teddy and Teddy rolling his eyes despite his blush.
“Oh, he’s good.”
“And you said I was brainwashing him.”
They share a glance and laugh together quietly, happy that their son is boy band trash/a romantic sap.
