Chapter 1

Remus Lupin was lonely. It was a well known fact to all of his friends. After Tonks death during the final battle Remus seemed like a different man. The light in his eyes was gone most of the time. About a year after the final battle Hermione did the impossible and brought Sirius Black back from the veil, for awhile after that it seemed that the old Remus might be back but he slowly retreated back to the shell of Remus he was before. His friends were worried and tried to get him back onto the dating scene but eventually gave up as Remus seemed more lifeless after each date, the only time the beaten werewolf showed any happiness was when he was with 3 year old teddy. The active toddler kept him from falling into a deep depression. That and the fact that Remus had taken his old job of teaching DADA at Hogwarts back, after Severus Snape was named headmaster. But today a new change was coming to Remus. The school year was starting and for the first time Teddy Lupin was going to daycare.

"I can't believe I'm doing this" was the thought running through Remus's head as he made his way to drop Teddy off for his first day of daycare. He opened the door and could hardly believe his eyes. Yellow pink and neon blue greeted his eyes. Children's art work hung from the walls and dragonflies flew freely throughout the room. AS he was looking around he didn't notice a woman enter the room until he felt a tap on his shoulder. As he turned he was surprised, to say the least. Her chin length brown hair covered her eyes as she looked down. But the most surprising thing about her was what she was wearing. Neon blue jeans a black band tee-shirt, High-tops converse with multi-colored flowers covering them and a huge blue flower tucked behind her left ear. Teddy wiggled in his arms snapping him out of his staring, he cleared his throat and the woman looked up. Warm brown eyes connected with his own pale blue. "Hello" the young woman said Remus nodded "Hi, I'm Remus Lupin I'm here to drop off-"Teddy right?" "Yes..." Remus replied surprised the young woman in front of him jumped up and down in excitement "Oh Good! We are so excited to have him! I'm Lacee my family owns the center and I'll be Teddy's teacher this year." With that she turned her attention to Teddy "hi teddy! We are going to have so much fun this year I just know it!" Remus watched as Teddy studied the woman in front of him for a moment before throwing himself into her arms. Remus looked on in shock as she easily caught the 3 year old and started a discussion with Teddy about nothing in particular, maybe this whole daycare thing wouldn't be too bad. Remus thought as Teddy let out a stream of excited giggles.
