AN: Hey everyone, this isn't really a chapter it's more of an intro and don't worry, my actual chapter will not be this short. Also I decided to keep Fred alive in my version and yes, Victoire and Teddy will end up together in the end but I wouldn't categorize this story as a romance.

"Teddy, it's time to get up, we mustn't be late to the train station!"

"Yes Grandma!" I shouted back even though I'm still half asleep. I get up, put on a shirt and a pair of pants and go downstairs to grandma holding a huge plate of pancakes.

"Grandma, you didn't have to make me breakfast."

"I know but this will be the last time I get to make you a meal until December." I could tell that she would miss me a lot; it's been just me and her living together for as long as I can remember and now that I'm leaving it will be just her living here alone.

"Will Harry and Ginny be there?" I asked hoping they would.

"Of course, you know they would never miss this" said Grandma.

"Will anyone else be there?"

"I think Bill and Fleur will be there with all their kids, I know Victoire wants to say good bye to you." Victoire was one of my best childhood friends, we played a lot together. When she found my acceptance letter to Hogwarts and found out I was leaving this fall she immediately asked her parents where her letter was. Her dad, Bill, had to explain that she wouldn't be leaving for two years. Sometimes she forgets that I'm older than her because to us it's never really mattered till now. She's probably going to have time when I'm gone too since I'm her only "cousin" who's close to her age. I know she's going to miss me and I'm going to miss her too.

After I finished eating my pancakes I got my trunk together, put it into the back seat of our car and grandma and I were off to King's Cross. When we got into the station I could see other student's with owls and trunks walking around to get to platform 9 ¾ . Out of the crowd I could see Harry, Ginny, James, Albus, baby Lily, Bill, Fleur, Victoire, Dominique and Louis, and I was also surprised to see Ron, Hermione, Rose and, baby Hugo.

"How are you feeling Teddy?" said Harry.

"Fine" I said, although I was starting to feel really nervous.

"Ready to get sorted into Gryffindor?" asked Ron.

"Or any other house" said Ginny giving him an angry look.

"Do I have to get into Gryffindor? Isn't Hufflepuff good? That's the house my mom was in." I asked. I've always wanted to get into Gryffindor but I've always thought Hufflepuff was good too.

"Teddy, any house is good" said Hermione who was also giving Ron a look.

At this point I saw people running through the brick wall and decided to go through.

"Good luck" said Ginny giving me an encouraging smile.

I ran through the wall and when I got to the other side I saw tons of students and parents rushing all about. Then Grandma, Harry and everyone else came through the wall.

"Oh memories," said Ron, "remember that one time when we didn't get through the wall and had to use a flying car to get to Hogwarts?"

"How can I forget?" said Harry back.

"Well Teddy, it's time to get on the train" said Grandma who looked like she might cry.

"I love you" I said back and hugged her.

"Have a great time" said Harry.

"See you at Christmas" said Hermione.

"Bye Teddy" said Victoire who then came and hugged me. I said goodbye to all of them and got on the train.

When I got on the train I saw loads of kids and looked into a random car with a three boys and a girl who looked around my age.

"Hi, can I sit here?"

"Of course" said one of the boys sitting near the window, "I'm Thomas, Thomas McCollum."

"And I'm Brian Burnett."

"Craig Smith"

"Hi, I'm Catalina Hughes"

"What's your name?" asked Thomas.

"Teddy Lupin" I said.

"Wait you're the son of Remus Lupin!" said Brian.

"Yeah I am" I said back.

"That's why Harry Potter was here," said Thomas, "are you a first year too?"

"Yeah is everyone in here a first year?"

"Catalina and I are first years, but Brian and Craig are going into their second year" said Thomas.

"So what house do you want to get into Teddy?" asked Catalina.

"Probably Gryffindor, since most of my family was in Gryffindor, but Hufflepuff would be okay too since that's the house my mom was in. What about you guys?"

"Well I would want to be in either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, my older sister is in Ravenclaw" said Catalina.

"I want to be in Gryffindor but my older brother is in Slytherin" said Thomas.

"I'm already in Gryffindor" said Brian.

"I'm in Hufflepuff" said Craig.

After about four more hours on the train, everyone asking me questions about my family like if I've ever seen Harry go up against a dragon, if I get free stuff from Fred and George's shop and if I had anything on me right now (which I did), and eating lots of candy, the train suddenly came to a halt.

"Looks like we're back" said Brian.

We all got out of our seats and stepped outside into a bunch of confusion.

"All firs' years over here" said Hagrid, a huge man who I've met before at Harry's house.

"Hi Hagrid!" I said, super excited to see somebody I already knew.

"Hello Teddy! You excited ter be here?"

"Of course Hagrid, these are my friends Thomas and Catalina" I said, Catalina and Thomas were behind me because they followed me over here. I'm pretty sure they had no idea what to do and where to go.

"Nice ter meet ya" said Hagrid.

"Hello" said Catalina not at all scared about his size.

"Well you guys can get in boat together" said Hagrid pointing out the boats on the lake. So me, Catalina and, Thomas all went into a boat and followed by bunch of other first years getting in all the other boats and we all started going across the lake. When we finally saw Hogwarts it was the most amazing thing I ever saw.

"Look at that! Can you believe we get to go to school there?" said Thomas.

"It's beautiful" said Catalina in a dreamy voice.

When we went into the entrance hall there was already a professor ready to meet us at the doors to the great hall.

"Hello, I'm professor McClain, and welcome to Hogwarts. At Hogwarts there are four houses, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor and, Slytherin. In a moment you will be sorted by the sorting hat. It will tell you what house you will be in. I will come and get you when the sorting hat is ready."

"This is so exciting, I can't believe I'm here!" said Catalina.

"I hope I get into Gryffindor" a moment later the professor came back.

"We are ready for you"
