Teddy Lupin
"Look at his hair. It's just so blue!" Ginny whispered.
"But look, I can see blonde highlights near the roots." Harry whispered back.
"He is just so cute. His peaceful little eyes. He is so innocent. He has no Idea." She said sadly. Teddy Lupin was just three years old. He was laying, awake, in his bed while Harry Potter and his wife Ginny stared down apon him. His eyes fought to stay closed when he ever so wanted to spring up and ask what in the world they were talking about.
Teddy had guessed he was different. Even at such a young age. His hair would change color, and neither one of his parents showed any signs of special traits. He was a young boy, but bright enough to realize something was going on he did not know about. Later he would question many things, such as; why he never went to school, why strange things seemed to happen when he got upset. Most of all he would question why Harry and Ginny seemed flustered and anxious when Teddy first asked about why he looked so different from them.
"Some day you will know why, but not today. You are too young." This was the answer he always got to any request of an explanation.
"Just think" Harry said, "In eight years he will be putting a battered old hat on his blue hair." Harry smiled at Ginny. As they walked away Teddy opened his eyes. Battered old hat? What were they talking about? He might have been young at the time but he still remembered every word of that brief conversation between the two people who raised him. Teddy went back to sleep wondering when the day would come when everything would be explained.
"Ted. Ted. Ted! Come on, you have to pay attention!" His uncle George said with his usual mischievous grin. It was Teddy's eleventh birthday and for some reason every one had called him downstairs. Every one was over at the house. His uncles Ron and George. His grandparents Molly and Arthur, and some older woman he had never seen before. She kept looking at him, turning away and wiping her eyes. Teddy was not bothered by her. He was used to strangers showing up at the house asking to see him. They all have the same excuse "we were friends of your parents". Teddy did not understand this. But again, he was told to wait.
George was standing above Harry Ginny and Ron, who were surrounding him. Even Albus James and Lily had stopped talking and came to watch. They were Teddy's siblings. Although a few years older.
"OK, I'm listening. Why do you need to talk to me?" Harry and Ron exchanged glances.
"Ok. There is much to explain. To start you need to be aware of something. Ginny and I are not your parents." Harry finished this with a look of anticipation on his face. Every one held their breath. Teddy said nothing. In one sentance, most of his life had been explained, and destroyed. He motioned for them to continue, not ready to speak yet.
"Your parents," Ginny continued "Were very brave, and they lost their lives in the war that saved the world. This would all make more sense if you would read this." Harry pulled a thick parchment envelope out of his pocket. On it was emerald green writing. It read; Theodore Lupin, Second smallest bedroom, godparents house. Teddy looked up. Godparents? They all nodded, with huge, anticipating grins. Teddy slowly opened the thick envelope. In side was a letter that began with; "We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry."
