SPOILER!!: Teddy Bio
Theodore Alexander Burton By Alexander and Lisabel Burton
Chapter One: Facts
Full name: Theodore Alexander Burton Nickname: Teddy, Dora Place of Birth: London, England Date of Birth: July 5 2076 Current residence: Cornwall, England Ancestry: Pureblood Ethnicity: Half British Half Russian Languages: English and Russian - fluent Wand: TBA
Early Education: Muggle Primary School, homeschooled about Magic Magical Education: Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw Best Subject: Maths, Chemistry, History Weakest Subject: TBA
Chapter Four: Introspective
Personality: Introverted Teddy likes to bury his nose in books and writing, and is often caught spending more time in his imagination than reality. He is very timid and finds comfort in routine. But he is smart and logical, and can often talk himself through his fears, not overcoming them but managing them. He loves to learn, and researches many different things in his free time. He particularly enjoys muggle mathematics, history and chemistry, and subsequently arithmancy, history of magic, care of magical creatures and potions and is looking forward to starting those subjects.
He is good, kind, and loyal. He finds it difficult at times to open up to others, especially in a group setting, but once he has made a friend, he is loyal and takes his friendship responsibility very seriously.
He loves gobstones, and enjoys watching quidditch, though he hates flying. He is a bit of a sweet tooth and LOVES chocolate frogs, and he also collects the cards. He has his large collection organised into a folder, in numerical order, and has his spares organised the same way in a box. He enjoys trading them with other people. Likes: Alone time, family, close friends, reading, writing, chocolate frogs, collecting chocolate frog cards, daydreaming, learning, gobstones, animals, watching quidditch, and building things. Dislikes: Adventures, being around too many people, when people tell him to cheer up (seriously, it’s just how he is, and he IS happy), mean people and bullies, liars, when people try to trivialize his fears, pineapple, flying, loud noises, losing things, dueling, and lots more.
Chapter Five: Genealogy
Father: Alexander Burton Mother: Lisabel Burton (nee Metanova) Siblings: Dimitri (Dima), Zhenya (Zhennie) and Ava (twin) Pets: Ginger Ninja (family cat), Rosie (family owl), Salem (Teddy’s cat) In-laws: Alana Burton Nephew: Keenan Grandparents: Deceased Aunts and Uncles: Uncle Archer (father’s side), 5 aunts and 2 uncles (mother’s side) Cousins: Sophia Hemingway (nee Metanova), James Hemingway, Lola Hemingway, Shura Metanova, plus others they haven’t met.
Chapter Six: History
Lisabel and Alexander, in their late forties, were surprised when they discovered they were about to be parents again. Theodore and Ava were born during the summer holidays, and their Uncle Archer and older siblings Dimitri and Zhenya visited them.
Their childhood was a bit odd. They had older parents, and their siblings had estranged themselves from their parents. Teddy and Ava didn’t see them for many years. From age 5-10 the twins went to the muggle primary school their mother taught at during the day, and at nights and on weekends they were taught about their other world, mainly by their father and uncle Archer and, later, their brother. They learned about Hogwarts, wands, boggarts and patronuses, plus all of the subjects that were taught at Hogwarts. Their childhood was not lonely, though. They had each other, the kids in the neighborhood and at school. The worst thing that happened to them was watching the effect of their older siblings leaving had on their parents, particularly their father, and at times the twins felt like they had to care for themselves.
Before they got their Hogwarts letters, something amazing happened. Dimitri came back, and with him came Alana and Keenan. This was good.

Still a little uncertain, Lux studied Teddy carefully. He seemed really determined, however, and she nodded. He seemed sure of himself and she was not going to press him to do something that he didn't want. Teddy understood his condition a lot better than she did and he would know when something was up. She made a mental note to talk to Zhenya about it later. They were really close so that was bound to happen soon, especially with their planning for Potioneering stuff.
Pleased that they were going to be friends forever, she was made even happier at the mention of ICE CREAM. As if she could ever turn that down. It was one of her weaknesses but then food was in general. "Of course! Let's go." Lux would have raced him but knew better than that when he had just had an asthma attack. She would feel very awful if something else happened to him.
Scene Five: While spending the afternoon in Diagon Alley, Teddy bumps into Lux and Bay.
It was a particularly hot day and even Lux was feeling it. WHY had she chosen today of all days to stock up on her potions supplies?? She needed them for when school started up again, but now she was thinking that it was better to just get some ice cream and forget about the apothecary for the moment. There was no way that Bay would say no to that. She would just come back tomorrow and get everything that she needed then.
Smiling, she began leading him towards Floreans. "I thiiiiink I want a huge cone of Chocolate Frog ice cream!" And definitely sit inside where it wasn't so hot.
|G&T=<3|Snuggles her ALI!| <3's Saz |Master Lurker|
"babe im always down for ice cream, you know that" chocolate was a bonus, they both shared a love for chocolate.
"after we stuff our face I want to stop in a few places and top up some things, plus my mother wanted me to check the post to see if all the wedding invites went out?" rolling his eyes, his mother was kind of a monster in all of this and he was glad to see that Lux didnt mind.... or if she did she didnt show it. God he loved her.

Teddy was walking around, as usual, waiting for his mother and father to finish their shopping. The crowds were getting too much for Teddy, inside, so he decided to go and walk towards Florian Fortescue, where they said they'd meet him. He figuratively had his nose in a book until he walked into something, or someone, and his nose was literally in his book. "Oww," he said, giving his nose a rub. He'd expected it to have been a lamp pole or something, it wasn't a new thing for him, but... it was a guy. He was about to apologise when he saw... "Lux?"

Hehe. Lux knew that Bay loved ice cream just as much as she did. "We will eat loads of it for the rest of our lives!" she told him happily as she swung their arms back and forth. Pizza as well. And all that other bad food that they enjoyed when she wasn't trying to be healthy. There were still going to be cucumber sandwiches for her because she absolutely loved them.
The comment about his mother caused her to laugh, but before Lux could respond there was a collision in the form of her best friend. "Hey there, Teddy." She shook her head, knowing that Bay probably hadn't been harmed in the process. Typical of him to be walking with his nose in a book.
|G&T=<3|Snuggles her ALI!| <3's Saz |Master Lurker|
while being distracted by Lux he felt something hit him.. Looking down he smirked, interesting that he didn't apologize for bumping into him... This kid seemed to know Lux. But this still didn't excuse him for the little body tap.
Bay coughed to get Lux's attention "you alright kid?..... Wait do you guys know each other"" they must have met at Hogwarts but who knew Lux was so friendly she made friends everywhere.

Teddy was staring at the boy Lux was with. Well, he was looking between them, his head turning back and forth. But this... this must be her fiance. "H-hi Lux," he said, braving a little smile. He hoped the guy wasn't mad at him. He looked over to him, "I'm... I'm alright. I'm sorry I bumped into you," he said in a shy voice, and looked down at his feet. Holy mother of all books, was he actually about to meet Lux's fiance?

It would be a lie if Lux said that she wasn't feeling slightly awkward right now, but the redhead managed to keep a smile on her face. Everything was okay, Teddy was okay. It was him that she was feeling awkward for, but he hadn't been hurt and he seemed to be okay despite looking at his feet.
"This is Teddy," she explained to Bay. "My best friend." She had talked about him before. "Teddy, this is Bay." Who he had also heard about...but didn't know everything until recently.
|G&T=<3|Snuggles her ALI!| <3's Saz |Master Lurker|
"oh its alright" he smirked at the younger guy, Bay dusted off his arms flexing his muscles while he did the movement, complete accident or was it on purpose. Only Bay would know.
He was finished getting any dirt off him he really looked at the guy "ohhhhh your the Teddy she's been talking so much about"
interesting, he thought that Teddy would be.... taller or older?
Sticking out his hand he waited for the guy to shake it back.

Teddy saw out of his peripheral vision, Bay. He looked big. Very big. It was almost a little daunting.
But the sort-of fear left when Lux introduced him as her best friend. THAT got a smile from the 14-year-old. And... he was now being introduced to Bay. He felt his cheeks warm up as Bay said that Lux had been speaking about him. He was a little nervous with what Lux would have said, but he trusted her. "Hi Bay," he said, clasping his hand and giving it a shake. He wasn't used to shaking hands, having only done it once or twice, maybe. He hoped he was doing it right.

Lux had been slightly worried that Bay would intimidate Teddy due to his crush even though he was the sweetest person in the world. She just didn't want anything to happen to her best friend since he meant a great deal to her. With a small smile she watched the two boys interact. It was a little surprising to see them shaking hands since Teddy wasn't really the sort to do that, but it made her happy nonetheless.
"How about you join us for ice cream?" she asked. The boys would be okay with that, right?

Scene Six: Hanging out at Burton Cottage during the holidays, Teddy and Lux talk about careers and OWLs.
Teddy was lying on the bed, his head hanging over the edge. "When did you know what you wanted to do?" he asked Lux, who was busy with potions. He knew Zhenya had her career plotted out. She loved Potions, she wanted to be a healer, and now she was doing her training in Midwifery. "I don't know what I want to do at Uni." Because he knew he DID want to go to Uni, even if it was just to learn more. He really wanted a bookshop, but he knew he might be able to do that and study. Problem was... he didn't know what to study.

This was one of the days where they weren't going to do anything at all, and Lux was perfectly happy with that. Sometimes those were needed too! Especially when Teddy got overwhelmed.
Leaning against his wall, she was slightly surprised by his question as it came out of nowhere, but then he was going to be taking his OWLs this upcoming term so it made complete sense. "Well, I didn't know at first - I had just enjoyed Potions when I first started studying it... It wasn't until Professor Culloden assigned a complicated final for us at the end of my Second Year that I realized it was something I wanted to DO." That was what had gotten her to realize how complex potions were... that they had FEELINGS in a sense. Utterly fascinating in her opinion.
Hmmmm. Lux was thoughtful for a moment. "Well, have you considered doing something with books? You could be a librarian or own a bookstore? Go into publishing or editing?"
Sassenach | RAVENPUFF | Sing me a song of a lass that is gone | bookDRAGON | #awkwardturtle<#
"You didn't?" Teddy asked, rolling over to prop his head up on his hands. He always assumed people knew for AGES. Zhenya had, but maybe that was only because of their grandparents. "What's the most complex potion you've brewed?" He was curious. He didn't LOVE Potions, but he was very interested in the theory. All the reactions that occurred, and HOW they occurred. He loved speaking with Professor Newton about chemistry, too.
"I do like books," he said. He thought. A librarian? He wasn't sure about that, although he did like to go to the library. "I've always wanted to own my own bookstore. Burton's Books, I think I'd call it." He'd been thinking about it since he was younger. Much younger. "That would be cool." He sat up on the bed. "I would love to edit people's work."

Head shake.
Lux could understand why Teddy would be surprised about that revelation given how into potions she was, but it wasn't something that she had since she was a little girl. "I didn't even study the subject in First Year because I was home schooled and my mom didn't want me doing it in case I caused an explosion or something." Protective mothers for you. As far as the most complex potion she had ever brewed... "Maybe Felix Felicis. It's one of the hardest ones there is, because the formula is so complicated and even the smallest mistake will have severe consequences." Yep. It was VERY difficult to brew.
Nod. Of course Teddy liked books. That was obvious to anyone who got to know him - and even to the ones that DIDN'T. "Well, you could always own a bookstore and do editing on the side?" Nothing wrong with doing two things. "It could help you make more money while your business is taking off." Just a suggestion that she felt was worth considering.

Teddy giggled at the thought of Lux causing an explosion. Somewhat unlikely, but then he knew from Zhenya's experience that when she got comfortable with brewing potions and creating them there were a few explosions. But that had come AFTER the Hogwarts stuff. "Did she let you once you'd started learning at Hogwarts?" he asked. Teddy hadn't really been interested in brewing potions at home. Sure he studied up on everything potions related, but not brewing. That was only done in lessons. "Yes I've read about some of the consequences. Have you ever seen a potion go very wrong and harm someone?" He had seen a few minor incidences in Potions class but nothing the Professor couldn't fix.
He grinned at her suggestion. "That's a great idea." He reached to his desk to get a pen and paper and jotted it down. "So... once I finish at Hogwarts I should look for editing at university. Muggle university, I'd guess? Or do they do something like that in the Wizarding universities?"

Lux had a feeling she knew what Teddy was giggling about, and couldn't help but join in. The thought of making a small explosion in the kitchen was pretty funny, though a big accident would obviously have been terrible. She was always careful, however, so everything probably would have gone completely fine. There was ALWAYS room for error, and that needed to be taken into account. "Well, kind of. She let me make a little potions lab of sorts in the garage." Of course when she was married they would have a more proper lab; it was kind of necessary given her chosen profession. Nod. She was pleased that Teddy knew about consequences as it made him more aware of why it was so important to be careful while brewing advanced potions like that. Of course her best friend was very smart, but that was besides the point. "I saw someone mess up a boil potion once and it was NOT pretty." He could imagine the outcome of that little accident.
It made her so happy to help Teddy work out what he could do as a career! Of course she had heard about his bookshop dream, but somehow it seemed more REAL now that they were having a proper conversation about it. "I'd imagine that they would do it at Wizaeding University as there are wizarding publications. Sadly I don't really know much about the field." It made her sad not to be able to help more. "Wherever you go, you will still see me, right?" Lux needed her Teddy!
