Off on this grand adventure of tackling the Next Generation. I will say this once, JK Rowling owns. I only play with. Cheers!

Teddy Lupin

1. His first memory is sitting in front of a mirror with Harry and Ginny. He kept looking in it and trying to figure out why he didn't look like either one of them. Wasn't he related to them? Even as a three year old he couldn't figure out why godmother Ginny looked so much like her parents and he didn't look anything like them.

2. When he was a little older, maybe four, he tried to change his appearance to match Harry's and Ginny's a little better. He made his hair black and gave himself freckles and one brown eye and one green eye. That's when Harry and Ginny told him they weren't really his parents, how could they be? They were still young and not even married yet. He didn't understand. Who were his parents then? Where were they? Ginny showed him a picture of two people, a man and a woman at a wedding. The woman was very pretty, with pink hair and a wide smile. She was holding on to a man that had gay hair and a looked tired. Ginny told him that they loved him very much. That's when he understood.

3. After seeing that picture, he relaxed his abilities. His real face shape and even his true hair color for a while. The light brown got a little dull after a while, though, and when Harry told him that he had a special visitor that day, he changed it to blue and put a mark on his forehead that made Harry laugh. The poor girl, Victwah (that's how she said her name, at least) cried.

4. He figured out straight away that he and Vic weren't related. He decided not to tell her about his revelation, because then she might stop wanting to visit. When she found out, he cried with her.

5. When Harry and Ginny had their first son, James, he was excited at first. Then he realized that now that they had a real son, they might not want him anymore. Ginny laughed because she overheard him telling Vic, and Ginny told him that there was no way they would ever let him leave, much less want him to. Someone needed to lay big brother to James, and at age six, he was perfect for just that.

6. When he left for Hogwarts, it was very difficult because it meant leaving his only friend behind. Then he realized that the Castle held all of his adopted family's secrets, and he was allowed to find them, should he want to.

7. Those first couple months at Hogwarts, he didn't realized how upset Vic had been with him. He was very put out when she didn't answer his letters. And she hadn't even told him why she was upset with him!

8. There were fewer people in his year, at Hogwarts. They had been born at the height of the war. Not many were as foolish as his metamorphmagus mother and werewolf father. It was okay, though, because they were the same as him. They had all been touched by the war as well. Parents, aunts, uncles, older brothers, sisters, relatives. They had all lost someone. It was easy to relate to each other, to love each other.

9. He was so relieved to be in Gryffindor. He could have been anywhere, really. With a mother in Hufflepuff, a Grandmother in Ravenclaw, many, many family members in Slytherin, and his entire adopted family from Gryffindor? How was he to know what values he had gained? When the Sorting Hat put him in Gryffindor, he was relieved.

10. When Vic was put into Gryffindor too, he was so happy. Now they could play on the House team together! If they ever got the chance to try out, that was. They'd played together their whole lives, after all. It was nice having his best friend back, in the same house as he was.

11. When he was in his 4th year, he finally got on the Quidditch team. Harry had laughed out loud because his mother and father, as Harry told it, were terrible at the game. Teddy stood proudly in his keeper gloves during the first match of the season, and felt good knowing that Vic would keep the quaffle on the other end of the pitch, anyway.

12. When he witnessed Zabini hitting on little Vic (not so little anymore, he supposed) he nearly cursed him himself. He realized about five seconds after, that she would take care of it herself.

13. Later that night, he wondered why he had been so angry. Perhaps because Vic was his best friend and no one should treat his friend like that. Then he realized that perhaps those feelings weren't entirely platonic.

14. In his 7th year, when he and Vic had just helped win the Quidditch cup, she said she had something to show him and covered his eyes. When he opened them again, he was in the prefect's bathroom. He turned around to tell her that he already knew what it looked like, being Quidditch captain gave him certain privileges. He swallowed his words because when he turned, she kissed him lightly on the lips, and left. That was the end of his wondering about his feelings for Vic.

15. He left Hogwarts a happy man. When he visited the train for again, for the first time not for himself, he got caught kissing Vic by James Potter. He didn't care in the least, even though he knew he would have hell to pay when he got off the train.

16. His potioneering job for St. Mungo's was his dream job. He had the potential to cure lycanthropy! He knew the secret lay with his blood, after all didn't his blood defy the curse of the moon? Metamorphmagi were few and far in between, and even fewer were willing to give enough blood for experimentation. Not Teddy, though. They could have as much blood as they wanted from him.

17. He was so afraid to propose to Vic. Right after she got out of school, too. Bill would kill him. But it didn't matter, they loved each other, and it was the right time. He knew it was the right time when she came to see him at work, and he just knew. He asked her to dinner and it was done.

18. They were engaged for a long time. The night they were married, on Vic's 19th birthday, her family, now his family, for real now, thanked him for changing her mind about going to France. He hadn't even known she wanted to move to France. He was afraid that he was hindering her. When she told him that all she wanted was to be with him, in England, he was skeptical.

19. Then she got offered a job by Aunt Luna, and he felt better. The Department of Mysteries was the perfect place for Vic to work. A mystery inside of an enigma. She laughed at him when he told her that, and she explained that she'd always been known as an open book to everyone but him.

20. His life turned out well. After his and Vic's first child was born, Harry looked at him and at his little baby Dora, and told him, "This is what your parents died for. They died for you to live in a world where you could have this, and be happy, and peaceful." And Teddy hoped that wherever Dora and Remus Lupin were, they could see the family they had helped make possible.

Tell me what you think! Victoire up next.
