This is cute, but really, Teddy is waaaay too young for how he is being portrayed. A 2 month old doesn't understand or care whether they're going or coming, so long as they're with their mother.
How old is Sev's physical age now though? I forget. He's cute. ;-)
And I did like the hug between Harry and Lupin. That was nice. I also like seeing Harry portrayed so fatherly. It's adorable. ;-)
Author's Response: Hi! Thanks for the review!
Sev is five months old at this point. Anyway, in regards to Teddy, all babies develop differently and think differently, really. It's very much the same as how all adults think differently, and how two people of the exact same age can act so radically different. The brain is a wonderful and mysterious thing. If given the chance, I would study it 'til the day I die. :-) But I digress. Teddy is an intelligent little creature. And he's made a friend with Sev. And, in my mind, Teddy cares about leaving his new friend.
Furthermore, (and this is just my personal belief), infants, children, teens, and young adults are constantly compared to what society calls "typical" examples of each. They're always judged against these "normal" kids. Yet who defines normal? Whose judgement do we bow to when we say a baby is developing "normally"? To even say such is thing is to accept someone else's standards as one's own. Personally, my definition of "normal" is different from everyone else's because I flat-out refuse to submit to someone else's standards. So...yeah. To me, in my world, this is how intelligent little two-month-old Teddy would act.
In summary, thank you SO much for the review, all babies develop differently so Teddy is by all means (and by my definition) perfectly normal, and I APOLOGIZE for going on so long like this. Lol! :-P I tend to write...a lot...and when I get started I can't seem to stop...as you can probably tell... ;-P Okay, I'm stopping! :-)
Enjoy the rest of the story!
