What happened to Ted? Well, that was an easy enough question really.
Ted had been in a fight. With her husband. At the pub. Three things that one did not usually associate with Ted Tonks. Ted was an easy going, friendly sort of guy who enjoyed juice boxes and a night in with a couple of movies and/or friends. As a general rule he didn't frequent pubs, didn't fight blokes, and certainly wasn't the one to start said arguments and yet apparently the world was upside down because all that had happened.
Ted had gone to a pub, Ted had seen Lucius Malfoy, and Ted had gotten into a fight with him so his ragged appearance, his bloody nose, they were all from his excursion. Still, for some reason when it was all over, he found himself dragging his feet not home! where he should be going, but to Narcissa's house. Knocking on the door when he got there, he leaned heavily against the railing and waited for her to answer. When she finally did, he gave her a rueful smile, blowing his hair out of his face and pressing the sleeve of his sweater against his nose to stall the bleeding.
"Would you believe me if I told you I got into a brutal fight with a mountain troll over who would get to live in the cave just beyond the lake there? -- Name was Gallump." he said with a crooked smile that caused him to wince a bit.
