The young man looked up from the piece of paper he was holding and grinned at his godfather, sweeping a hand through his short, spiky, electric-blue hair. He ruffled the paper and glanced down to check it really did say, 'ACCEPTED', then his grin broke out into a laugh.
'Congratulations, Teddy!'
'Congrats, kiddo!'
'You deserve it, you really do!'
He looked round at his family; his godfather and mother, his semi-uncle and aunt; unfortunately most of his cousins were at school, but his nine year-old god-sister hugged him round the waist saying, 'I knew you could do it, Teddy!'
'Course you did, Lils!'
He picked her up and swung her round in a tight hug as she shrieked and laughed, before he set her down again and the rest of the family swarmed in for their share of the hug.
'You know, Harry, I think this calls for a little celebration!' said his Uncle.
'I believe it does, Ron, I believe it does.' His god-father replied and slipped out of the room.
His god-mother moved to his side as conversations broke out around the room, 'Teddy, your Grandmother would be very proud of you, as would your Father and Mother.' She said quietly.
'I know, I know.' He said smiling sadly.
BANG
Uncle Ron had his wand out before the champagne cork hit the ceiling, and was glaring at a slightly abashed looking Head Auror Potter, who grinned like a teenager and said, 'Whoops!' Everyone laughed and Ginny went to get glasses while Harry tried to stop the bottle overflowing onto the carpet.
'Do it again!' cried Lily, who was laughing at Teddy.
'What?'
'When Daddy popped the bottle open, Teddy's hair went all white for a second!'
Everyone laughed again, and Ginny reappeared with the glasses on a tray.
