alt_daphneUgh, the list of people that Teddy makes himself a menace to truly never ends, does it? He pulled me aside for a talk both last night and then again this morning, asking about what our summer plans were, and all sorts of other invasive things. And by "our" he meant you and me. I told him I didn't know that we had any specific plans as of yet, and he feigned mock surprise (honestly, he's not half the actor he thinks he is... unless he wanted me to pick up on his feigned surprise, in which case I suppose he actually is a better actor than I give him credit for. It's so hard to tell, really). "But surely a couple of your standing has plans of some kind," he asked, then went on about how it was so interesting that we haven't been caught doing anything scandalous like Hydra and Justin were, and maybe we were just especially good at not getting caught, since we're both prefects.
Oh, and then he had the nerve to suggest that if I ever wanted to date the only other eligible male in our house and year, he'd be willing to consider it. The fact that he sees himself as eligible nearly made me laugh in his face. Only one never knows how he'll react, do they? So I said I had no plans to date anyone but you for the time being, and he gave me a sort of strange, knowing grin.
I don't know what he's up to but I can't help but think he was trying to indicate that he knows our relationship is, well, a little staged. I have no idea how he knows this, or, more importantly, why he even cares. It's very peculiar, though, and leaves me uneasy. Not that I gave him any sign that I was unnerved. But I thought you should know. And, well, do you think we should do anything about it?

And from what you told me about the situation with Raz, he really might have been your father. It isn't as if the idea was completely far-fetched, knowing his history. And Ron, well, he is a decent sort of person, so there's not much to be ashamed about there.
As for Auror Crouch, you were young. And other witches who ought to know better have been guilty of the same.
I don't know what to tell you to make you feel better, except to say that no one thinks you're pathetic. Literally everyone I know admires you for one thing or another. And if you can't stand not knowing my secrets... well, there is a way for you to find out, but I honestly don't know if you'll like it.

It's just odd, sometimes, to think that you know everything about me and there must be a lot I don't know about you. And a part of me really, really wants to know about these so-called secrets, but then you always said "you won't like it" and I feel like I have to believe you, because you do, after all, know me so very, very well.
