The Things We Did For Love

Chapter 2: Train Rides and Prefects

Andromeda and Ted's fifth year at school

PG-13

********************************


"Andromeda!" Ted Said

"Hello Ted" she answered.

Ted couldn't take his eyes off of her, and couldn't hold his goofy sexy smile behind his lips, 'is it possible that she was even more beautifl than the last time I saw her' Ted thought.

"So, you made prefect? that's brilliant! me too! well obviously me too, I am here after all. You must be pleased, you work so hard and all," Ted started to ramble "Rab didn't make prefect did he, I'm pretty sure that I would go crazy if I had to put up with more than I already do."

"Me too." she whispered aloud. Ted's eyebrows lifted to this, 'Trouble in Slytherin land?' he wondered.

"I mean no Rab didn't make prefect, he starts to many fights, could you imagine of he was allowed to take house points away?" She said smiling "Yeah, Slytherin would be winning the house cup for the next three years, and every Gryffindor and Hufflepuff would be in detention with Slughorn." Ted said with a laugh.

"So how was your summer?" Ted asked sincerely

"Horrid, I'd rather not talk about it, how was yours?" she answered

"It was ok, couldn't wait to get back to school though, it really hard to try to explain things to my parents and my sibilings, 'Ted how is it possible for a human being to fly on a broomstick and then chase gravity defeying balls?' asks my sister, it's just one of things she won't believe even if she saw it, and she thinks my parents are off there rockers because let me go to Hogwarts, but she means well and I love her." he said

Then from behind Ted they both heard someone clear their thoart so that they would be achknowledged, Ted then turned to look behind him and then back at Andromeda, "Uh sorry mate, Andromeda you know Frank Longbottom right?" "Yeah, guess I shouldn't be surprised that your a prefect too." she said

"Thanks, I guess, we should probably change into our uniforms, the informational meeting should be starting soon." Frank said.

Frank and Ted headed off to the rightside/boy's side, and Andromeda went to the other.

"Wow mate, you really have it bad for her don't you?" Frank asked

"Is it that obvious?" Ted asked

"Yeah, but for a girl thats suppose to be off the market, she seems really into you too." Frank stated

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

*********************************

While Andromeda was changing, she noticed Amelia Bones, 'she must be the other Hufflepuff prefect' she thought. Andromeda also noticed that Amelia seemed to be sending daggers at her in her glare, Andromeda wonder why, she had never said or done anything to Amelia.

*****************************************

Then once all the prefects were in uniform, the were assembled in another compartment of the train, Andromeda took her place with the other slytherin prefects and saw that Daniel Youngsley was the other Slytherin prefect, which made her feel relieved because he and Rab weren't friends, Daniel pretty much kept to himself he was far too busy studying and didn't seem like he would be joining the Dark Lords forces when he go out of school. Unfortunitly the prefects that were older than her were all supportes of the Dark Lord and probably talked to her sister and Roddy on a regular basis. Then her attention was brought to the front of the compartment

"Hello everyone, my name is Steven Robertson, 7th year Gryffindor and your Head Boy. And this lovely lady on my right is Eva White, 7th year Ravenclaw and your Head Girl. For those of you that are returning prefects you know the drill, for all you 5th years however, starting now Hogwarts is counting on you individuals to set a good example for your peers, and to make a difference for the school. Your job will include patorling the corridors, usually in pairs, and to make sure all the corridors are cleared, if you catch any students were their not suppose to be, then you deduct points and direct them back to the dormatories. You may deduct points from students who are not carrying themselves appropriately and give points as well, do not abuse this power though, there will be consequneces. You all will also report to weekly prefect meetings that will be held in the prefect classroom every thrusday at seven, until the Quidditch season starts and then the meetings will be scheduled around those practices, all of you also have access to the prefects bathrooms located on the third and fourth floor. Also know that we've decided to switch rounds up meaning, that your patroling partner will not always be the other prefect from your house, but will most likely always be someone within your year and will usually be a member of the opposite sex. We're hoping to bring more unity within the school and starting with the prefects seems like perfect place to start. So if you have any questions don't hesitate to aske Eva or myself, and pick up a packet on the way out about the rules of conduct and such. and We will see all of you at the weekly meeting on Thursday to figure out your patroling schedule, and please help out the first years over the next few days." Steven said.

"So Daniel your the other Slytherin prefect," Andromeda said

"I guess so," Daniel said with unfeeling tone

Andromeda wasn't really sure what to say to him, she had never really talked to him before, and he sure didn't seem to like her.

"What? are we suppose to be friends now or something? you never seemed to care before why should you now? look just don't get in my way ok." Daniel said angry at her, and then walking away from her, 'she thinks she's so much better than everyone else' Daniel thought to himself as he walked away in a huff.

'Well that went well.' Andromeda thought to herself, she then made her way over to Ted, Amelia, Fank, and Alice Conners the other Gryffindor 5th year prefect.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Black is a cast,
And two is a crowd,
And gold rim is an answer.
Black is a crowd.

I am just for you,
As you are not for me
So even if you stop,
You're sitting here by yourself,
You can never try to answer anymore,
You can never start
And see what you're doing to me.

Kiss, they were the ones,
They dressed like something so special,
And death is to begin,
caress, I think it's a sin.

I was alone,
Only 'til you took me away,

And you can never stop,
You're sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to argue anyone,
You will never stop and see,
What you're doing to me.

"Oh Eddie, is just going to die when he finds out that your the one whose prefect instead of him Ted, not that I'm suprised or anything." Amelia said batting her eyelashes at Ted, and twitling with her hair, leaning back slightly so that her breasts were more in his veiw sight. 'That tart!' Andromeda thought to herself 'Who the hell does she think she is? why not wear a sign that says 'Please Shag Me''as she got closer, she wondered why it bothered her so much, were her feelings for Ted really that strong? When she finally reached them, Ted turned to look at her, and when he did it made Andromeda weak in the knees, Ted look at her as though she were the only thing in the room, Rab never had and never would look at her like that, or make her heart feel like it was doing jumping jacks every time he said her name.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I'm alone,
While he was standing next to you,
And days prolong,
Yeah there was time,
just you wait and see,

Waiting for a bottle of truth,
I'm just a lonely guy in my youth,
Waiting for you is all I wanna do,
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

"Amelia, Alice you two know Andromeda right?" Ted said trying to include Andromeda in the group.

"Well Ted, we have been in all the same classes for the last five years," Alice chuckled "How are you Andromeda?"

Andromeda had always liked Alice, they had sat together during Divinations, and made witty jokes abot Trelawny when she wasn't looking, She considered Alice to be a good friend.

"I'm great now that we're going back school." Andromeda said

Amelia had acted as if she hadn't even seen Andromeda, she instead coninued to look at Ted with eyes screaming "I Want You!". Andromeda now understood why Amelia had looked at her earlier the way she did, she wanted Ted. 'Well she CAN'T have him!' thought Andromeda, but could she really make that call, she's was after all technically spoken for. It was then that she remembered her pact with Sirius, "make her own destiny, follow her heart" and what her heart wanted was Ted.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
So if you couldn't stop,
You're sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to argue anyone,
you will never stop and see what you're doing to me,

You can never stop,
You're sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to answer anything,
You will never stop and see,
What you're doing to me,

What you're doing to me,
What you're doing to me,
What are you doing with me
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

'Why does my Life have to be so complicated' Andromeda thought to herself

********************************************

After saying her good-byes to the other prefects she made her way back to the compartment where her Sister, Lucius, and Rab were. There was only about two hours left of the trip when she made it back, and that was about two hours too long in her opinion. She seemed to drag her feet as she went, images of Ted's goofy smile danced in her head until Rab came into view, and she was forced to hide those thoughts. "Andi!" Cissy smiled as she entered back into the room, "How was the prefect meeting? who else are prefects? when do start getting to take house points away?"
It was obvious to Andromeda that Cissy had been bored stiff having to be alone with Rab and Lucius this whole time.

"Well lets see, Daniel Youngsley is the other Slytherin prefect" she said

"Eeww the Library Troll, I feel sorry for you, so who else?" Cissy asked

"Well, Frank Longbottom, Alice Conners, Amelia Bones, and Ted Tonks." She said Ted's name in whisper and saved his name for last.

"The MUDBLOOD!" Rab shouted, the first time he had even paid any attetnion to Adromeda since she walked in.

"He has a name you know," She said, this caused a very surprised look on both Cissy and Lucius's faces, and a very pissed off look on Rab's

"Yeah Mudblood." he said in a low voice, his dark blue eyes slits as he looked at her, trying to intimdated her, but it wasn't working. 'That's real mature, he's about as intelligent as a bag of hammers, and a bag of hammers would be easier to talk to and a better listener then him.' she thought to herself.

"Why do care anyways?" he asked his voice still low

"Forget it." She said

She then just looked out the window, Cissy started talking to her about charms or something, to just switch the subject, Andromeda was barely listening to her, she just waited for Kings Cross to come into sight signaling that she was at Hogwarts, that she was home.
