Harry Potter was carrying Teddy Remus Lupin to his office.
"I wonder what Uncle Harry's gonna say?", thought the blue haired nine-year old.
*flashback*
Andromeda Tonks had finished eating dinner with Teddy and was washing the dishes when suddenly Harry Potter came through the fireplace, engulfed in green flames. Teddy looked in wonder as his hair turned green and back to turquoise.
Harry murmured to her," it's time to tell him the truth."
She nodded and forced a smile," Teddy, why don't you spend the night at your godfathers' house tonight okay? He has something... Interesting to tell."
Teddy nodded and went to the got some silver powder in a bowl and yelled," Potter Manor!"
As he stepped out of the fireplace, he gracefully stepped out and hit his knee on a table.
"OW!", he screamed and sat there with a broken kneecap. Harry stepped out and asked," Whats wrong?"
" I hit the table ... For the sixth time!" grumbled Teddy as he tried to stand up but was unable to for his leg hurt.
Harry noticed his pain and attempted to scooped him in his arms.
Teddy mumbled," I'm nine, not five years old." and swatted his arms away.
"I don't think you walk all the way to my office", insisted Harry and picked the grumbling boy up.
*end flashback*
Teddy was excited and curious as his godfather opened the door to his office.
After setting the young metamorphmagus gently in a chair, Harry looked at Teddy straight in the eyes and said," Teddy, what I'm about to tell you is very important. It's about your family... More specifically, your parents."
Teddy sat up straighter at the mention of his parents.
Harry said," you know how your grandma and I always told you that your parents-"
"-left one day for secret Order business but are still missing? Yeah, I know I heard it a million times. ... Wait, did you find them?", exclaimed Teddy, his face showing excitement.
The- Boy- who- lived- twice closed his eyes to debate with himself whether or not to tell the innocent boy. He opened his eyes and saw two big, blue eyes staring at him, begging him to explain.
Harry hesitated but started talking very slowly, "Teddy, your parents were one of the most bravest people I've ever met. Your mum was almost always cheerful and your dad was smart yet very mischievous. I'm glad that they found each other because no two people deserved one another."
Harry stopped talking to close his eyes but continued," But one day, there was this terrible battle, and in that battle, your parents d-died."
"What? A battle? My parents... dead?", the eight year old whispered.
A minute passed in silence.
Teddy looked up with tears brimming his eyes," Why? Why didn't you tell me this? Why did everyone lie to me?"
The Harry sighed and said," It was to protect you Ted. So you didn't have to bear with not having parents. So you-"
"- so I could be given false hope? So I could spend all my time wishing but it will never come true? THEY ABANDONED ME! THEY LEFT ME, TO FIGHT? DID THEY THINK I WAS TOO BORING? NOT THRILLING ENOUGH?",screamed the metamorphmagus.
Harry snapped," They did not abandon you. They left wanting to make the world a better place for you ."
Teddy flinched at the harsh tone of Harry's words.
The young boy begged," Can I please be alone?"
Harry nodded, got up, and murmured," Remember Teddy, they died for you." and he left.
His parents... They were... Gone...
All those birthday wishes, shooting stars... They were no use...
He thought one day... One day, he could meet his parents...
They died for you...
He sobbed as he picked up and threw something from his godfather's desk across the room.
Then all time stopped. And Teddy Remus Lupin was sucked into a vortex
Albus Dumbledore was examining a diary, when all of a sudden there were strong winds and a bright flash. The old wizard gripped his wand and pointed it at a figure. The winds died down and the headmaster could see a young boy, about nine or ten years old, with turquoise hair and a tear-stricken face.
Albus asked," What is your name young one?"
The boy answered," Teddy... Teddy Lupin"
