Recap:
Introductions, meeting the past.
"Okay and Last but not least we have you" said Dumbledore pointing at Teddy
"Well I am Teddy Remus Lupin, I am 21 was Gryffindor ,Played Chaser , Am engaged To the wonderfully beautiful Victoire Weasley and My parents are Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks and I am a metamorphmagus but am not a werewolf."
Sirius let out a low whistle, "Well Moony" he announced with a casual grace "You finally got yourself a girl!" He had the air of a very excitable puppy, one that had just been given a treat or a toy "Just a shame that it had to be my ah... Adorable cousin over here" his air was very jokey as he said this, sending a wink in the direction of the pink haired witch.
"Sirius..." said Remus warningly with a worried glance in Tonks' direction
"Only Joking, You know I love you really cousin dear" he sent a roguish grin at her before getting up and sauntering over leaning on her.
"Shut it Sirius" she snapped running over to gather Teddy in a tight embrace
Jumping up dusting himself off Sirius walked over to Remus
"Go on Moony, He's your son too" he whispered, giving Remus a not-so-subtle nudge in the direction of his future wife and son.
Everyone was basking in the love radiating off the family of three, when a quiet voice cut through the silence, taking everyone by surprise with its inquiry.
"Who dies?" asked Harry, his face blank, worried.
"What?" retorted a worried James, Not knowing what to do.
"I said; who Dies?" Said Harry, Louder, More Forcefully this time
This was all it took to worry the 16 children, who didn't really know the workings of time travel, but knew enough to know that telling the past what happens in the future.
"I er... really don't think we should tell you that" Lily was stuttering to the people of the past a worried expression fixed on her
"Oh come on!" said Sirius "What harm can it do?"
"Lots" Chorused the future
"OK, Stupid Question, What if you wipe our memories before you leave? That can't have repercussions can it?"
"Let's discuss this guys" Said Teddy breaking away from his parents
"If we wipe their memories it won't do any harm, will it?" asked Fred
"No, but it is imperative to wipe their memories, Just remember that guys" Replied Teddy
"I Still don't think we should, we don't know what effect it could have!" Warned Lily
"Calm down Lils, we'll vote on it" soothed Teddy
To that Louis replied "Well then, who thinks we should tell them?" all bar Rose, Lily and Scorpius, raised their hands, Scorpius reluctant to not raise his hand but after a threatening glance from Rose kept his Hand down.
"Sorry Guys, you're outvoted" Said Teddy Apologetically
Turning to the group he said "We've agreed to tell you, but please don't let this ruin your day even though that's what you'll probably want it to do knowing this information, we know it'll be a shock and we know you'll want to grieve but all this happens in the future, this is the present, so live in the now, just think if you waste this time now what you are wasting, I mean how likely is it that 16 children from your future are ever going to turn up again?"
Sirius let out a snort before saying "Well let's go then" unbelievably cocky for someone who was about to find out when people die.
James took a deep breath "Okay" he said "We don't know about everyone who died, we only know what our parents have told us, but what we do know is that most of them are on account of Lord Voldemort and the death eaters, and we'll try to tell you the basics like who, when etc."
Lily took over here, " Okay, First was Sirius Black" she said with an apologetic glance at Sirius who had gone very pale "He was killed during a battle with Bellatrix Lestrange in the Department of Mysteries at the end of Dad's 5th year"
"No Sirius!" shouted Harry running over to his godfather, the main parental figure in his life, refusing to believe what he had heard "You can't die Sirius, You can't!"
"Harry" Whispered Sirius "Don't worry about me, I died fighting, just the way I would've wanted to" He pulled his godson into a tight embrace gesturing for the Next Generation to continue.
They paused, not sure how to continue before Victoire took control "This might come as a bit of a shock to you, the next death occurred on the 30th June 1997; Albus Dumbledore was killed by Severus Snape at Hogwarts."
"Snape!" cried the room as one
"How could you!" screamed Tonks
"Calm Down!" ordered Dumbledore seeming unfazed "I'm sure for whatever reason this happened it was purposeful and for the greater good!" He turned before adding "Please continue"
"Next was someone that was probably the best Auror the wizarding world has ever known" Most of the room had guessed who rose was talking about "Alastor Moody was murdered personally by Lord Voldemort trying to safely get Harry Potter to the Burrow safely along with a group from the Order of the Phoenix before being ambushed by the Death Eaters"
"Moody?" cried most of the room "how?"
"He was struck by a killing curse in a fight with death eaters"
"At least I died fighting the Death Eaters" grunted Moody
Albus took this as a cue to continue "Peter Pettigrew took his own life after a tool he was given by Lord Voldemort turned on him for showing remorse and hesitating in killing Harry"
"Good" spat Sirius
"He didn't deserve to die Sirius!" said Remus
"How can you say that Remus! After he betrayed James and Lily! After he betrayed us as well!
"No-one Deserves to die Sirius, Wormtail was one of us once!"
"He still betrayed us!"
"I don't care Sirius, he accepted me for what I am, he didn't want to be a Death Eater why else would he hesitate to kill Harry?"
"Because he's a spineless coward!"
"He regretted it Sirius! He didn't kill Harry because he was the last reminder of James and the life we used to have as the marauders at Hogwarts!"
"He's still a traitor!"
"Look at yourself Sirius, What would James say if he saw you acting like this about one of his best friends! And Lily? Can you even begin to fathom how Lily would feel about this?"
Another voice broke into the fray " She'd agree with you Lupin, it was one of the things that Lily would always reiterate, she always believed no-one deserved to die no matter how bad" Said Snape
"What if it was for her son?" whispered Harry
Remus and Sirius stopped glaring at each other and started moving away after they had closed the distance between them whilst fighting, they both looked ashamed, Lily and James meant a lot to them and so did Harry, they weren't thinking about how this must have been for Harry both vowed to talk to Harry later and show them the memories they had of James and Lily, but sat silently for the moment letting the future continue.
"Fred Weasley" came the voices of Fred II and Roxanne
"He died in the Battle of Hogwarts" said Fred II
"Duelling Death Eaters" continued Roxanne
"With Percy"
"And there was an explosion"
"Which killed him"
"We're so sorry" they finished together
"Oh Fred" sobbed Mrs Weasley rushing over to pull him into a hug, tears streaking down her face at one of her greatest fears come true
"There's something you should know" said Teddy "I've never known my parents until today, Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, killed by Antonin Dolohov and Bellatrix Lestrange respectively, both killed during the battle of Hogwarts." By the end of his statement Teddy looked ready to cry, where Tonks already was while Lupin stared at him in shock, sadness etched into every line of his face terrified of the thought of his son growing up without parents, no memory of them just like Harry. His biggest hope was that his son would grow up in a world that was safe, and that he had died making that world safe for his only son.
Seeing that Teddy needed a moment with the parents he had never known, Dominique continued in hope that it would give the trio a private moment "During the battle, Uncle Harry, Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron went to hunt down Voldemort and when they found him they witnessed the death of Severus Snape, who was killed by Voldemort's snake Nagini, This is when they found out the reason why Uncle Harry calls Severus Snape the bravest man he ever knew and also why he named Al after him"
"Finally" Said the Future in Unison "Lord Voldemort!"
A.N. I know this chapter jumps around a lot, and that some of you (if anyone is actually reading this because it's taken me so long) won't like the way I've portrayed some of the characters because it's slightly different to what's in the book, but this is how I see the characters so please don't give me hate over it. Thanks for all the reviews and compliments, just a few things to address:
- There will be Rose/ Scorpius
- There will be Teddy/Remus/Tonks bonding
- Hugo and Rose's middle names are what they are because I thought it would be ironic.
- I will see this story to the end, but it may take a while, but I WILL finish
- There was some confusion over the Quidditch positions, basically it was just a fact about the characters but the Gryffindor Quidditch team is:
Chasers: James Sirius Potter (Captain)
Dominique Weasley
Louis Weasley
Beaters: Fred and Roxanne Weasley
Keeper: Lucy Weasley
Seeker: Lily Luna Potter
Basically the whole team is made up of Potter's and Weasley's
Thanks again so much for the reviews, I hope this chapter lives up to your expectations. Please Review! Constructive criticism is always welcome!
Thanks so much for reading and sorry for the wait and extremely long AN, Please Review!
