Fellowship

[Hugo Stark-West]

Hugo was nervous and excited and slightly apprehensive. part of him still couldnt believe that he had a boyfriend,and that boyfriend was Teddy Pirrip. But after a night as magical as the ball had been, he had an actual, real-life boyfriend who liked him, and he really enjoyed kissing.
it had been way back at the start of the semester when they had hardly been friends when the talk of the loard of the rings came up and now it seemed like a perfect excuse to have the afternoon together. he had spent the morning getting ready. getting a selection of snacks and drinks. cleaning up his bedroom and the sitting room. he wanted things tobeperfect when teddy got here. Once he was sure things were right, he glanced at the clock. five minutes until t-time. once he was done he sat on the arm char a book in his hand though he was unable to read, the nerves had him looking at the clock every five seconds and out the front window at the drive every other

 

[Teddy Pirrip]

Teddy was enjoying the perks that came with turning seventeen over the break as he could now practice magic outside of Hogwarts. It would be even better after next semester once he has his apparition license. He would never need to side along apparate with his dad again. He wasn't certified yet though so still needed a hand in that department. His dad knew the area well enough, he managed to get Teddy close enough to Hugo's house to easily walk the rest of the way on his own.

Teddy was excited about hanging out with his boyfriend outside of Hogwarts for the first time, wondering if it would feel different in a different setting. Maybe it would be better, or maybe worse, although he hoped not. He was curious to see what Hugo's house looked like too as he reached the street, counting down the numbers of each house until he reached the right one. Taking a deep breath first Teddy shook out his hands from his pockets, stepped up to the door, and knocked firmly.

 

[Violet Stark-West]

Violet wouldnt believe how things were going this holiday. she was enjoying herself. she had gone shopping with her mama, baught some new clothes. and she they had had a spa day and they had even gone to see a pantomime at the theatre. but the thing that she was enjoying most about this holiday was how different her brother was. how he would squirm at the mention of a cirtain name. and just how red he blushed. today had been an epic. he had spent ages getting ready making shre that his room was tidy that everyhing was in order. before giving the sitting room a deep clean and buying so many snacks she was sure he would be able to feed his enitre year not kist the two of them.
She watched hugo from the hallway as he gave the room a last neaten before sitting down to nonchelently read while he waited though she knew he wasnt actually reading as the book was upside down. she heared a knock on the door and promptly ran to open it wanting to get there before her brother just so she could embaress him a little bit more. she opened it. and saw Teddy Pirrip "hey Teddy" she said before turning around and bellowing into the house "hugo your boyfriends here" before turning to look at the boy. he was good looking he could see what hugo saw in him. though she did still think it was a weird match that her nerd of a bother had got with the gryffindor qiidditch captain. one of the most jockyest Jocks in the school. she smiled at Teddy. "he has been looking forward to today all holiday. i hevent seen him this excited about anyhting, ever, not even when he got to meet his favorite author." she said. "cleaned everywhere to make it perfect for you. he even cleaned the bottom of the toilet seat" she added in a loud whisper sure hugo was near enough by now to hear her. she looked around to findher brother and was pleased to see that he looked a suitable shade of tomato, her work here was done. "I'm goign to be upstairs ou of your way. but reemember sound travells" she said darting out of the way to the safety of her bedroom. where she was planning to give herself a pedicure ready for new years.

 

[Hugo Stark-West]

hugo was lookingat the snacks on the tavle woobdering if teddy would mind if he opened the pringles when he heard a knock at the door, by the time he had put the bookmark in his book Violet was creaming at him fom the hal. she must have been waiting there for him to arrive or very cooincidnced in his arrival. judging by how well he knew violet it was the latter . especialy when he heard her talking about how how excited he was to have teddyo ver. but th erealy cruncher that made him blush of emvbaresmsment. was the comment of the toilet seat. like surlt everyone cleaned the underside it was just gross otherwise. "alright Right Violet. thats enough. i am sure you have got someone else to tourment/ he said. trying not to show just how successful she was being at embaressing him. it seemed like she had done her job as she left them duckign into the sittin room to grab the pringles before heading up the stairs.
once she was out of the wy hugo stepped towards Teddy, his boyfriend. "Hi Teddy. Come in. how is your holiday going? how was your birthday" he said putting his hand on teddys arm not quite sure if he should lean in and kiss him.

 

[Teddy Pirrip]

Teddy had barely knocked when the door flew open and there was Violet, he hadn't been expecting to see her but it made sense that she lived here too. He managed to say "Hi" before she was already on one, talking about how excited Hugo was to have him over. Teddy wondered vaguely how the family might react if Teddy was to cast the silencing charm on her, but thought better of it, even with the bit about the toilet seat. “Right,” He was trying so hard not to laugh at her. A little snort escaped as Violet finally disappeared upstairs. Teddy’s grin softened at Hugo. “Hi,” he said again, already feeling relaxed. Hugo looked nervous, a bit flushed, and kind of adorable. “Your sister is... interesting” Teddy being an only child, was pleased he didn't have to deal with siblings. He stepped closer, “Birthday was decent thanks. How was yours?” He glanced toward the direction Violet had vanished into to check she definitely wasn't still there. Then looked back at Hugo and leaned in to kiss him.

 

[Hugo Stark-West]

hugo felt himself start to relax a little as violet vanished uo the stairs. it wasnt the worst she could have done but it was somewhere that way. he blushed was slightly embaressed as teddy said his sister was interesting "Yeah. i think she has been planning that all week" he said. thouh to be honest he probably did deservie it he had a feeling he had likely been rather unbarable.
he felt teddy step towards him as though each of his nerves was comingto life and stretching towards him. "that is good. mine was good too" he said. he had long since given up trying to get friends around for his birthday. but maybe now he should try and do it again. it would have been really nice to spend the day with teddy and Oz, and rhion, and miranda. maybe now most of them were of age it would be easier to organise.
as teddy stepped closer hugo didnt need to be asked twice he reached up and cupped the back of teddies head before leaning in to kiss him. back it wasnt a big kiss nott too deep or long. but it was sweet and gentle. and hugo broke away smiling. "welcome to our home. can i get you anything> he asked gesturing further in and towards hte sitting room which he had set up as a cozy movie watching room .

 

[Teddy Pirrip]

Teddy hummed happily after the kiss before he pulled away, even he knew this wasn't the place for a long makeout session as much as he wanted it to be. He took a moment to glance around Hugo's house, peeking a look into the comfy looking sitting room where he expected they would be doing that long make out session later. Then he turned back to Hugo to answer the question. "Do you have juice?" he asked hopefully, trailing after him. Just then he remembered that he had something for Hugo. "Oh! I got you a birthday present!" he added. He slipped his backpack off his shoulder and pulled a slightly squashed wrapped gift out of it. "Hopefully it survived side along apparation okay. Here you are." He said offering it to his boyfriend. Inside was a comic book, the latest Martin Miggs the Mad muggle comic book which Teddy had enjoyed reading. Folded inside the comic was something more special, it was a picture of the two of them at the Yule Ball which Teddy had acquired for Hugo's picture frame.
