Ted smiled even as Narcissa said she didn't believe him because even if she didn't, he was still being led inside and where was Lucius? Hopefully wallowing in self-pity or something. Ted had never been cruel before in his life but he just couldn't stand Lucius Malfoy. He hated him with every fiber in his of his being and as Narcissa brought him into her living room he realized how good it felt to get into a fight with him. Lucius deserved worse than he got tonight though.
Listening to her as she spoke, Ted sat himself on the couch and pressed his sleeve to his nose hoping it would eventually stop bleeding. "You don't have to go through that sort of trouble. I trust you, we can give the charm a go" Ted said in a somewhat nasally voice. After all, his nose was full of blood and being pressed with his sleeve. He wasn't going to sound normal.
"Thanks Ciss, really. I'm -- sorry to turn up like this."
