Who: Ted and Draco
When: Late afternoon
What: Manly bonding, yes.
Where: The Tonks residence



Ted, to be quite truthful, was a little ecstatic about the newest addition to the family. Yes, of course it was extended family but weren't they all extended family in the end? And yes, Draco was young. But people made mistakes. There was no going back, so why should the elder man be dowdy and admonish the younger man about it? The way that Ted Tonks figured it, Draco had been acting as a young man for quite some while. And he was doing a fine thing, stepping up to those responsibilities. A mighty fine thing.

Besides, once Draco held that child in his arms for the first time, there would be no turning back. Even twenty-something years later. Even if the child was a handful and a half. All this thinking of children put a smile on his face, recalling when Dora was a baby. It was part nostalgia and part man's man time that caused him to extend the invitation out to Draco this particular late afternoon. Andi and Dora were out and about, which left poor Ted on his own.

And what did Ted do while on his own? Cook, of course. He returned to a favoured food for the comfort aspect of things. Brunch. Breakfast foods were his favourite, so there was bacon sizzling already and he was now chopping up onions and peppers for the omelettes that he intended to make. Sure, he could do it by magic (and the dishes most certainly would be done that way) but there was something about the action of cooking that he enjoyed. So, the afternoon was planned. A good hearty lunch and conversation. Perhaps even, if Draco accepted it, a word of advice or two.
