It seems to be happening again -- I've started to dread opening the Daily Prophet in the mornings.

I miss Ted. I wish he were here now.

I've moved so far out of London with the hopes that none of this would affect Teddy, not yet. He has three years until Hogwarts, and I'd rather he not be exposed to all of it until then. But he's like Nymphadora -- curiouser and curiouser every day. I'm fairly certain I saw him reading the Prophet this morning.

Are eight-year-olds meant to be reading newspapers?

	I don't think I read newspapers at that age. But I wasn't really interested in that sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He only reads now because of Hermione. Don't let him fool you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hilarious. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I used to read you the Prophet when you were just a baby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And I'm sure he understood about as much of it then as he does now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you not nurture and enrich your own children with words, Mrs Higgs? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did I say anything even resembling that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your implications were crystal clear. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Doesn't mean I remember it! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm just slightly concerned about the interest Teddy is taking in the news these days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose you'll have to start talking to him about it, right? Either that or keep the paper from him and that just doesn't seem right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andietonks_ 2011-08-21 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly. I don't want to scare him though either. But it's so important, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pawnography 2011-08-21 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I'm sure you'll figure it out. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Maybe you and Harry should explain the basics of what is happening to Teddy? If he's curious, it can only help for him to understand. It is scary, but I know you and Harry could explain it so it's less so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think that's a wonderful idea, Ginny. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
