Samantha was currently standing in the living room of her home. It was the weekend and she had invited Teddy over for a change of scenery. They had always gone to his manor, or just stayed on the school grounds. It was still hard to have any time to themselves with them both still at the school. Sure, Sam didn’t really need to be there anymore. She had already graduated from the school twice, but she enjoyed learning new things when different teachers showed up. She was just glad that she was able to. She had befriended each headmaster to ensure that she’d be able to continue returning to the castle. She also liked seeing all the different students that came through the school.

She had left the school just after her last class, dropping a note off at Teddy’s office, telling him where to go, and apparated to her home. She wanted to make sure that the cottage was clean and in order. They never bothered with house elves when her family was alive, so it had gotten a little dusty over all the years. Of course, being a witch, it didn’t take long to clean up all the rooms. She jumped in the shower after cleaning and washed up. She hadn’t actually spent much time here since this year started and she sort of missed it here. She had pretty much cleaned it out of her family’s things other than a few keepsakes and pictures. She had taken over her parents’ old room and made her brother’s and her old room into a den and a guest room. Each room was decorated in old pictures of Sam and her family, along with her friends from her first time at Hogwarts all those years ago.

After a nice long shower, she dried off and got dressed. It was a simple black dress with zebra heels, but she still wanted to look cute for Teddy. Adding some jewelry and make up, she went back into the living room, waving her had at the muggle television, turning it on, and went into the kitchen to whip something up to snack on until Teddy showed up. Him coming here was going to be interesting. The only thing that she had left out with Teddy was how old she really was. He knew that she was a vampire, but he didn’t know how long she had been one. Or that she had actually gone to school with his parents and dated his father at one point. It didn’t exactly help that she had old pictures of her and them around the house, but she wasn’t about to hide any of them. She was going to marry him, might as well get everything out in the open. Grabbing some berries from her fridge, she went back into the living room to wait for Teddy.

As Ted left his last class, he didn't need to go into his office to know she had been there. She normally was there, or had been there. There was a note for him, and he smiled. He folded it up into a sloppy square and he moved out of the school, and ending up back in his house. He showered, shooed the gnome out into the yard, and yelled at him a few times to stop digging holes. He was insufferable sometimes. As he got out of his shower, he decided to make her something special as he got ready. He waved his wand, and started a batch of brownies down in the kitchen. He walked down stairs a few minutes later, and he took over the work he'd set his magic to do. He put the brownies into the oven, and then got back to getting ready. He'd left his wand somewhere..and he soon found it when he heard a rather loud bang from his room.

He ran into the room, and found the gnome standing in front of his closet, which was smoking. The gnome had his wand. The gnome had set his closet on fire. Ted scrambled to extenqish the flames, all the while yelling at the gnome. All his clothes were potentially beyond repair. A few were under his bed, stuff he didn't really wear anymore, but the rest of his clothes were at school, so he had no choice. He pulled an old sweatshirt out from under his bed, some shoes, and a ratty pair of jeans. He then remembered the brownies and raced off to find them almost burnt. He'd had enough of fire for one day, so he tugged them out of the oven, changed their container, and scolded the gnome again, apparating after he did.

He ended up in her house, and he realized he'd meant to ring the door bell. "I..let myself in, I'm sorry." He held out the brownies, and hoped she wouldn't mention his clothes, "The gnome blew up my closet, I'm sorry I'm late." He said apologetically. He knew he needed a better roommate. Maybe he would try a goblin or house elf next time.

Sam was watching some show for a little while, but she wasn’t really paying attention. After a few minutes of tv, she got bored with it. She usually only kept the muggle contraption to have noise in the house when she was here. She never liked the silence, ever since she was a young girl. It was just always something that bothered her. She got up from the couch and went back into the kitchen. Teddy was coming and she was thirsty. She never liked being thirsty around him. She had been once and almost lost control. That was the first and last time that ever happened. So, she set her empty plate in the sink and grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge that was full of the one thing that she needed at the moment.

She was halfway done the bottle when she heard a familiar pop not that far from her. She smiled and put the cover back on the bottle before setting it down. “Oh, don’t worry about it,” she said, filling a glass with water and drinking some. She didn’t want to completely taste like blood when she kissed him. “When was the last time I actually used the door?” She put the glass down and turned too looked at him. As she did, she coughed as she covered a laugh. What in the hell was he wearing? Then he mentioned that god forsaken gnome and his outfit made sense. She gave him an apologetic smile. “Awhh, honey it’s fine,” she said, walking over to him and kissing him. “At least you’re here now.”

She looked down at his sweatshirt and giggled. “You look cute. Definitely a change from your robes and suits.” She looked back up at his face. “We can go out shopping later if you want. That way you don’t have to spend the whole weekend in this. Not that I mind it, of course.” She didn’t want him to think that she didn’t like him dressed like his. She didn’t really mind what he wore, he looked good in pretty much anything. She looked back down and saw the container of brownies. “Ohh brownies,” she said excitedly. “You know me so well, professor,” she said with a wink. She smirked at him as she took the container and set it on the counter. She took his hand and lead him in more. “So…welcome to my place,” she said, proudly.

There were days he wanted to chase the gnome away, but he did get along well with the creature when he wasn't eating all the food or breaking things, that was what roommates were for right? Eating all your stuff and breaking things? He thought it was, so he let the gnome stay. The cat kept it in order anyway, taught it the proper pecking order in the house, it went: Moony, Ted, Gnome; and that was just how it was.

He smiled, "I try to be polite...unlike some people...or humanoid creatures, I guess gnomes are sort of people." He often got ahead of himself thought wise, and the things he said didn't always make perfect sense. He knew what he meant, and thus far she seemed to figure out what he meant, and that was a good thing, because sometimes he couldn't explain to just anyone how his mind worked, where it went, and so forth. "I like cats, though so this sweatshirt isn't really a lie, and I'm not even sure these pants are mine...but they are now." He shrugged, smiling.

"Thankfully, most of my suits are at school, the gnome just destroyed all my casual stuff. Dad's old clothes are at school too, so it's nothing really awful, just more or less inconvienent." Yes, he wore his father's clothes, he had since he was a student. His father was a bit larger then he was height wise, but that was alright wtih him, he was just as happy in baggy clothes. "I figured I'd be naked most of the weekend anyhow, so it makes no difference to me." He said, offhandly as he looked around the room. "Thankfully the gnome didn't get to these too." He said with a smile, "I like it, I think it's bigger then my house." He added.

There were lots of pictures, and he handed off the food, wandered towards them. Some he assume were of her family, he really didn't ask about the "how old are you really?" thing, he wasn't sure he wanted to know, but that was fine with him, he knew she couldn't age, so that really wasn't her fault. As he started back towards her, a picture caught his eye. He knew that face, "You knew my dad." He said without taking his eyes off the picture. "James too, and I can only assume that's Sirius.." He knew less of those two, but they would have been related to him, or Sirius at least. He didn't know what to make of it, good feelings or bad.

Sam smiled and nodded. “Well you’re better than most people,” she said, with a giggle. After a few times of visiting him and using the door, she just started apparating in. Most of the time she was going there to surprise him, so she’d have to get to his house before him. And that usually meant getting in without his help. She laughed when he mentioned liking cats. “Well I hope you would,” she teased, “or I’m sure moony would be staying here with me.” Cats were always a thing for her, so she wouldn’t have minded if he was there with her. It would just mean that she’d actually spend time at her house. She was going to have to change that. She never really figured out why she didn’t spend much time here. Maybe because it was just her, but now that she had Teddy, maybe they could come here more often.

“Thank goodness,” she said, smiling. She knew he’d be devastated if it was his or his father’s clothes that were in his wardrobe. She was pretty sure that if the gnome destroyed those clothes, she would be destroying the gnome. It was all Teddy had of his father, and she knew how much they meant to him. The damn thing was lucky that she wasn’t there when it happened or it would’ve been the end of him then and there. When he spoke again, she giggled. “Well you do have a very good point,” she said, running her hands along the brim of his pants as he looked around. “But that’ll have to wait until later.” She shrugged slightly when he mentioned the house being bigger than his. She didn’t really think it was, but her house was home to four people, and she was used to the size. Teddy’s was big enough for him and her together. She never really minded the size of houses.

As Teddy wondered off towards some pictures, Sam finished off the bottle and wiped her mouth. She had a small feeling in the back of her head that the questions were going to start, but she had no problem with it. She knew she was going to have to come clean about it at some point. At least now was better than ever. She just had to wait until they came out. She leaned against one of the walls and waited patiently. When he mentioned his dad, she glanced over her shoulder at the picture he was talking about. It was one of a couple pictures she had of her and the marauders. “Uh, yeah. I did,” she said, with a small smile. She wasn’t about to lie, she did miss Remus, but she had Teddy now and he was more than she could ask for. “Surprise,” she said, goofily.

"Moony is currently sleeping in my briefcase, so I can't bring the school work I planned on getting done here with me, but oh well I suppose, he actually did you a favor." He said with a smile at the mention of his cat. He did love that cat, he was fluffy and warm and made purr-y noises. He had had an owl in school, so he didn't ever really much get to have a cat around, and he was a pleasure to have around. Cats were better companions then owls it seemed, they were friendly and didn't get moody like owls, or his owl at least. She was a very pushy creature, always begging and snapping.

He pursed his lips, "I wanted to get naked now." He pouted. Maybe he would just rebel and take his clothes off. She couldn't make him wear pants if he didn't want to wear pants! He was her teacher, and he didn't need pants if he didn't want pants! He had half the mind to just rip them off now, but he refrained for the time being. "I should just take my clothes off and go for a jog. Right now." He said with a pseudo-serious tone and look to his face. He was sort of serious, he did love running sometimes, and he did love being naked. Seemed like a win-win to him, but apparently muggle police didn't like public nudity, he didn't see a problem with it.

Her father knew his future daughter in law, ironic. "You never told me." He observed. He wished he looked more like his father. He picked up the picture. There were other people he didn't recognize, "This girl, who is she?" She seemed close to his father, but she was unknown to him. (The girl I mean is Arden. Gotta rep my own OC here. /shot) "How well did you know my dad?" He asked, never taking his eyes off the picture. His tone wasn't mad, just distant. He didn't care she'd never told him, she probably figured it was best not to, his father could be such a touchy subject with him on some days.

Sam smiled when Teddy told her that Moony was sleeping in his briefcase. Moony was the cutest cat that she had found and she was glad that she could convince Teddy to keep him. She had always liked having cats around. They may not have done really much, but they were good company. “Oh please. You know that you wouldn’t actually be able to get any work done here with me,” she said with a smirk and a wink. She was pretty much the reason he was a little behind on grading some papers. That was why she would remind him to get work done before she showed up at his office, because unless she had homework to finish, neither of them were doing anything but each other.

Her eyes widened slightly when he said that he wanted to be naked now, and then a small smirk formed on her lips. “Well, you know that can totally happen, if you’d like,” she said, leaning into him. Sure, she had seen him a couple days before, but it wasn’t like she could help herself. It was Teddy. He was adorable and she couldn’t get enough of him. And thankfully…they didn’t have to worry about getting pregnant. Her eyebrow rose and her smirk widened. “Well…I don’t know about the jog part, but you’re more than welcome to take your clothes off. If you do though, you won’t exactly be able to leave this house for a while”

She bit the corner of her lip and shrugged slightly. “I never really knew how exactly to tell you.” She really didn’t. She knew that Remus was already a sensitive topic with Teddy since he and tonks both died in the war. She wasn’t about to bring it up to him that she had gone to school with his parents. At least not very early in their relationship. But they were engaged now, and she figured that he needed to know. Know that she was friends with him, and that they had been together for a bit. That was going to be an interesting thing to discuss. She ran her fingers through her hair when he asked about a girl in the picture. She glanced at it, to see who he was talking about. “Oh, that’s Arden. She was a friend of mine and dated Remus for a while. She died during the first wizarding war. It was after then, that he and Nymphadora got married,” she said, with a small frown.

It wasn’t like she didn’t like Tonks, but she had lost her friend, and had to see Remus go through that heartbreak. She was honestly surprised when he told her that he was going to marry her. “Uh..how well?” she asked, looking up at him. “I knew him pretty well. We were friends all through school. He was the only one out of the four that I could stand,” she said with a small laugh. She nibbled her lip again and took his hand. “There is something else you should probably know,” she said, a hint of nervousness in her voice. She tugged his arm lightly and led him into her room. It had more pictures of her and the boys, but more of just her and Remus from when they dated. She did always care for him and could never find a reason to toss out the pictures. It was always the best school memory, along with all the pictures of her and Arden, and then her and Nymphadora later on. She just felt really bad that she had spent so much time with them, and Teddy didn’t even get to meet them.

She had a point, he never really was able to get work done anywhere, even at school when she wasn't there, but still. He could pretend. "I could have tried at least...or I can say I tried, or not. I don't care, no one wants this work back anyway." Well, some of her housemates might have, but he didn't really know if they would ever get it back. Maybe he could say it was in the closet his gnome blew up and give them all A's. Sounded good and fair to him, and he could enjoy his weekend. He'd just have to torch his briefcase when he got home.

He just wanted to run around naked, that wasn't that big of a deal was it? He did it at home. Though, granted, Albus wasn't happy with him when he did it, but it wasn't his problem Albus was always home alone when Ted decided to streak around the house,it was what it was. Ted just liked his naked time, and Albus got in the way of his naked time more often then not. "I just like to be naked." He said, looking down at her as she leaned into him. He really didn't understand how he landed such an amazing woman sometimes, he was just insane, and there was nothing else to it.

Arden. He'd never heard the name, but it wasn't too shocking, he hadn't heard much about anything then. "You could have told me." He wasn't mad, he didn't sound mad, he just wanted her to know she could have told him. She didn't need to hold things back just because he was sort of sensitive about everything. "Dad had good taste, she's pretty." He said offhandedly. Something else he should know? He looked at her, "What? You have a thing for more Lupins then just me?" He said jokingly. Whatever it was, it couldn't be too bad, right?

Sam smiled at his words and gave him a small nod. “Most of them didn’t really care about the paper anyway. I’m sure most of them bullshitted it anyway. Well…except my house. You know we always do our work," she smirked. Ravenclaws were definitely the most studious out of all the houses. Samantha couldn’t disagree with that, especially being at that school for a number of years. She knew that most of the other kinds could really care less about their work and only did it so they didn’t flunk out. That would just be a slap in the face to their family. She always made sure she was the highest of her class. It usually resulted in her getting teased, but she didn’t mind.

She laughed and rolled her eyes at him. “I know you like to be naked, sweetie. But you don’t need to be naked out in public. You can be naked in here,” she said with a smile and a bit of a bounce. She enjoyed him naked just as much as he did. Granted, most of the time she was naked at the same time he was and there were a few things going on between them. Although, just being naked was nice every now and then. Maybe they’d have a naked day this weekend and it would satisfy his need to be naked. She could only hope, of course.

She bit her lip again when he spoke and just gave him a small shrug. She knew she could’ve told him. “I told you…I just never knew how to bring it up,” she sighed. “I know you’re not mad or anything, but I’m sorry for not saying anything before. I just couldn’t think that it was truly fair that I knew him and you never got a chance to even meet him.” She combed her fingers through the end of her hair and tugged on it lightly. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, calming her thoughts and smiled slightly when he complimented Arden. She was pretty, and Sam was glad that she had been friends with the girl. After telling him that there was more he should know and leading him to her room, she let out a nervous laugh at his words.

“Yeah well…about that,” she said, walking over to a shelf of pictures and grabbed the one of her and Remus. It had been taken a couple months after they started dating in their sixth year. She walked back over to Teddy and handed him the framed photo. “I uhh…did have a thing for more Lupins than just you,” she admitted, walking to her bed and sitting on it. She looked back at him and gave him a small apologetic smile. It wasn’t every day that you told your fiancé that you were born in the fifties and had dated their father while you were at school with them.
