Bump! I'm really craving some vampire/werewolf plots right now, but everything that isn't crossed off is still open and I'm still very much interested in those as well :3
Ginny had practically begged him the last time she had been around his flat to visit, and when that didn't work, she laid on a guilt trip that was thicker than molasses. After all, how could Teddy not want to celebrate the wedding anniversary of the people who had taken him in and raised him from a child? It was rather selfish of him to try and skirt the issue, to have the audacity to attempt an excuse about being busy, or needing to go somewhere for work, but there was a cowardly part of him that wasn't above that sort of thing. Ginny, on the other hand, called his bluff in a tone of voice that said he was still groundable, and if he didn't come to the party at the Burrow a few weekends from then, he was in for a world of trouble. The sternness of the older redhead caused him cave, and that was how Teddy Lupin found himself on a grassy knoll with a bottle of expensive wine tucked under his arm.
Breathing a heavy sigh into the balmy June air, Teddy mentally prepared himself for what he was about to encounter. It would be a weekend full of family; catching up, telling stories, sitting around the table and reminiscing about better times. To anyone else, it would have been a fantastic time, but Teddy had knots in his stomach just thinking about his extended stay. It was all because of Victoire and the chance that he might have to see her, or make small talk with her about the bloody weather, or worse, life after the worst thing that had ever happened to him. He supposed it was a bit pathetic to still be raw over their end, but Teddy hadn't gotten much closure, and it didn't help that he hadn't spoken to the blond since they had decided to call it quits.
Victoire Weasley had been a staple in Teddy's life for as long as he could remember. They had grown up together, gone to school together, spent their summers together, and through following every cliche in the known universe, it only made sense that the two o them fell in love. Their relationship wasn't supposed to have ended the way it did, or at all, but Victorie had been keen to get away from everything and pursue healing, while Teddy didn't even know what he wanted to do for the weekend. He supposed that it just came down to them being different people, wanting different things out of life; that didn't make it hurt any less.
In the time that they had been apart, Teddy had done his fair share of maturing. Gone was his bright, blue hair, now replaced with something more natural that often made people tell him he looked exactly like a younger version of his late father. He was more punctual now, a little less reckless and actually focused on his career instead of worrying about who he could play a prank on. Back in his Hogwarts days, Hufflepuff house was often the butt of his jokes, much to the delight of James and his other friends. Teddy thought he deserved some credit for falling easily into adulthood, but he would never openly admit something like that.
A faint buzzing sound caught Teddy's attention, and after swatting a bee away from his head, he realized that he had been standing on top of the hill overlooking the Burrow for far too long. "It's now or never," he told himself as he resisted the urge to apparate back to his flat. Instead, he forced himself to move, now descending from the crest of the hill where he took the shortish walk through the field below and over to the back door.
After rapping his knuckles on the weathered-looking wood several times, Teddy waited for a response from inside. He busied himself with pushing up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows, thinking it made his navy blazer look a little less serious and a little more aloof. After all, this was a party for people he loved, not a business meeting or a job interview. The family needed to see that he was happy to be there, and still the same Teddy that they always knew.
"Teddy!" came the delighted squeak from Molly Weasley as she gave him a quick hug and ushered him inside. Teddy followed suit, smiling when he saw her. Her presence was infectious, and warm as ever. The reservations he'd had seemed to melt away as Molly offered him a cup of tea and a place to sit. "You're just in time. Ron and Hermione are on their way, Bill and Fleur are coming with their lot too. Not long now."
Teddy swallowed his tea after stirring two cubes of sugar. "Great," he remarked, ignoring how ill-prepared he was as he chatted with Molly about things around the house, Ginny's quidditch career and the de-gnoming of the garden.

Teddy Lupin
23
After having his heart broken for the first time in his life, Teddy went on to graduate from Hogwarts with just above average marks. In his time since school, Teddy has traveled all around Europe and eventually settled in a quaint village just outside of London. Currently, he works for the Daily Prophet as a photojournalist and sometimes fills in on the Sports section. He still keeps in contact with his family, and is particularly close to James II. He comes home for the holidays, but does his best to keep his distance otherwise out of fear of running into Victoire. Teddy prefers to communicate through owls, but he will occasionally indulge in a muggle phone call just for the novelty of it. He is currently single, although he has done his fair share of dating. If asked, Teddy would say that he is doing well and is quite happy with his life.

Hope that was okay. I thought he could work for the Prophet that way when the trouble starts up, there's a way for him to get information. I'm going to start on the first post now :3
I'll PM you!
The last few hours had flown by much the scenery whipping past the large windows of the RV. It was easy for Cara to lose track of the time when her mind was being occupied by good music, and even better conversation. It had been quite some time since Cara had gotten to spend time alone with Caleb, and the hours that they had spent together up front while he drove only served to remind her of how much she loved him, and how happy she was to be with him. There were several moments between singing and talking where things had fallen silent between them, and Cara debated on letting Elissa and Norris in on the secret; how bad could it be when they worked so well together?
Ultimately, the blond girl decided against it and pushed her lies to the back of her mind. Her gaze returned to the windows as she watched the trees fly by, now cast in a warm, pinkish glow as the sun was beginning to set. It was hard to believe that their first day on the road would already be coming to a close, but Cara was looking forward to having time with her friends.
She sat up from her reclined position in the plush, leather passenger seat and made more noise than necessary as she fought to right the map in her hands. "We should probably find somewhere to stop for the night," she suggested to Caleb and leaned over with the map. "We're right about here," pointing to a stretch of road with her blue-painted fingernail, she tapped the paper in order to make it more clear. "Everyone's probably hungry too."
Norris wasn't exactly the type who liked to be stuck inside for an extended period of time, and inside extended to RV's as well. Even though he'd had a break from being cooped up while it was his turn to drive, rolling down the windows and slipping on a pair of sunglasses only did so much for him. He was dying to get out into the fresh air and stretch his legs in a new place and possibly find something to do for the night in order to celebrate the beginning of their trip. He hoped that Elissa would be up for it too, because she could usually convince Cara to play along and three against one would mean Caleb would have to come on whatever adventure had been concocted.
"Are we stopping?" Norris asked from the cozy couch in the modest living room. He had his arm around Elissa, but he leaned away from her in order to see Cara and Caleb in the front. "It's so boring back here. I vote we stop, get some food and do something away from this RV for a while." He really didn't care what that something was as long as they got out and had some fun as a group. To him, the RV was just a house with wheels and it wouldn't be his entertainment for the summer. Besides, with this possibly being his last summer, Norris was on a mission to do every fun thing he possibly could.
Turning back to Elissa, he flashed his girlfriend a smile. "What do you say? Bowling? The beach? Maybe a fire?" Generic as they were, it was pretty romantic and as a side mission to having the best last summer ever, Norris also needed Elissa to know how much she meant to him when he took his inevitable turn for the worse.

Bumping and looking for new partners!
True. I was just trying to give us some more options if we needed them.
I agree with what you said about Coin, and yeah, making her more crazy is good with me too. Yes to conflict on both sides as well. It seems like we have a fair amount of things going on to start us off. Did you want to do some character sheets, or not bother because we already know what everyone looks like?

The sound of the man's laugh almost made Erin forgot how awful he was, but not quite. While she still didn't understand why he had appeared to her, she knew that she didn't have to stay with him, or even help him. Any thoughts of even being nice and finding out who he had been before he died was completely off the table as he went on to complain about her questions, and openly valued a squirrel over her. Erin had only been trying to help him remember, and even if she wasn't very good at it, she was at least trying. "You know what," she began, crossing her arms in return, " you can find out who you are on your own. You better chase after that helpful squirrel, he's getting away."
She turned away from him, determined to still enjoy her walk and that meant traveling the opposite way around the man-made lake. It was nice enough outside, but Erin was more than irritated by him even with a little distance behind her. She didn't understand where he got off talking to her like that, or why he assumed that she was his personal medium just because he happened to appear to her first. The worst part was that Erin still felt bad for him, because it must have been hard to be stuck between two worlds.

I'm glad it wasn't bad then! And sorry for the wait. I was busy for the 4th and just now have a chance to sit down and catch up myself.
Sorry for the wait and the shortness! I was busy this weekend for Independence Day and just now had a chance to get on. If you need me to add more, I can.
