I found this on my mom's phone in notes of all places and though "Why not?" So here you go. Teddy Lupin's sorting.


Teddy walked into the Great Hall with the rest of the first years near the head of the bunch. He looked up in wonder along with the other first years. In all his wonder his hair stuck flat to his head and it seemed to reflect the night sky above. The kids nearest to him at the yellow and green tables, representing Hufflepuff and Slytherin respectively, gasped at his metamorphamagus-ness. He saw Catherine at the Hufflepuff table punching a boy laughing at him.

Dumbledore rose to speak and Teddy's hair became blond in reverence. He said a big, long speech that Teddy barely listened to. He announced, "Now to everyone's favorite part... the sorting!"

It took a few people before they got to Teddy. "Lupin, Edward!" He heard Jason snort next to him. Teddy elbowed his new found friend and walked up to the stool. He was so nervous as he sat on the stool that his hair turned gray and his skin very, very pale. Realizing the gaping mouths were directed at him, he blushed, which looked very weird against his pale skin, and changed his skin to a more healthy color and his hair to a neutral brown. Headmistress McGonagall placed the hat on his head and it slipped over his eyes.

Ah. A metamorphamagus.

Teddy almost screamed, but then he remembered what Uncle Harry said about the Sorting Hat.

Hmm... I see kindness. Lots of kindness. You are very good with small children and animals. Very loyal and true. Maybe Hufflepuff. You do have a mischievous streak though.

But... no. There's something else there. What is it? Bravery. Oh, goodness. There's a lot. And extreme amounts of chivalry and nobility. It'll have to be... GRYFFINDOR!


I wrote this so long ago. I have definitely improved since then. I guess I'll put this in the Stars in the Sky series.
