The year after her brother James graduates, Teddy Potter returns to Hogwarts for her final year. With the Marauders gone, it should be a quiet, peaceful year despite the mounting tensions in the world outside of school.
The problem, naturally, lies...

Otto is lumbering after her like an unsteady drunken toddler, clearly eager to stay in step with her, while Regulus walks two or three paces behind them. She can feel his dark gaze burning into her back.
"Teddy," Otto says in a hushed whisper. "I love you."
"Please shut up."
"I know that people say that kind of stuff all the time, but I really mean it. I'd take such good care of you, Teddy, I promise. I'd do anything you wanted. Anything." Otto is nothing if not persistent, and walks so close behind her that he nearly walks on her ankles with every step. "I want to sleep with you every night — And I don't just mean sex! Sex would be great too, obviously, amazing even, but I want you in my bed every night, just sleeping. I want to be able to curl up behind you and hold you close, and I could keep you warm under all the blankets-"
"I think I'm going to be sick." Regulus says snidely from behind them, but Otto barely even pauses.
"I'd do anything you wanted in bed. I'd lick you out for hours, I'd take you gentle and slow and give you everything you deserve. I could pull your hair and take you hard if that's what you wanted, either! I just want to be touching you-"
Teddy speeds up, her face flaring red in mortification the more Otto speaks. Merlin, this was possibly the worst situation she'd ever been in, and it was being made even worse by the fact that Regulus was there to witness all of it. All she can do is pray that he shuts up soon, but apparently the sky is empty because that prayer goes unanswered.
Otto is still rambling by the time they reach the little nook by the kitchens that hides the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room, and Teddy is a little ashamed to admit that she's beginning to get a bit affected by it. He had basically just been dirty-talking in her ear the entire way back, and she was red-faced and uncomfortable as she shifts from foot to foot in front of the barrels that hide the passageway to the common room.
"Right then," She says, nudging him forwards. "Good night."
He turns and catches her hand. "Come upstairs, Teddy?" He asks, his eyes round and pleading. "I'll eat you out till you cry, but they'll be good tears, baby, I promise-"
A muscle jumps in Regulus' cheek, and he rolls his jaw as he steps forward to push Otto's hands away. "Nice offer, Bagman." he says, voice tight. "But she won't be needing that."
For the first time, Otto actually turns to face him. His face, which had been so open and eager, drops into a narrow, jealous frown. "Why are you here, anyway?" He demands, straightening his very broad shoulders. "Leave Teddy alone."
"I'm not the one sexually harrassing her in the corridors, mate." Regulus says with relish, baring his teeth in a mean smile. "Why don't you get to bed now, hm?"
Otto reaches out and grabs at Teddy's waist possessively, as if trying to make a point. "I love her-"
"If you try to touch her one more time, I'll hex your hands off." Regulus' voice is carefully even, but his gaze is narrow and deadly as he glares at Otto's hands.
