Disclaimer: I wish I owned Harry Potter, but I don't. The only thing I own is the basic storyline (little bits and dates are from the fabulous JK Rowling). I may get some dates wrong, but I'll try be accurate. Don't flame please - it has been a while.


Teddy sat down on his bed at his grandma's place with a letter in his hand. By his side was a collection of memories belonging to his late mother, Nymphadora Lupin.

Dear Teddy,

If you are reading this, then that means that I have died; I'm hoping your dear father is with you.

When I fell pregnant with you, Teddy, I started to make a collection of my memories so that you would know your mother's story (in the event that I can't tell you myself). I am sorry that I can't be with you now. I hope that these memories can provide some comfort for you and I hope that you won't be embarrassed by your mother… In my opinion I was pretty fantastic when I was younger! Haha!

Teddy. I know that I am not with you now, but know that I am always proud of you. You are what keeps me grounded and I love you to the moon and back. I hope you have my taste in music because your father doesn't even like the Weird Sisters (sorry Remus, I'm the cool parent here – WEIRD SISTERS RULE!), but I hope you have your father's coordination because mine is dead awful.

Take these memories to your Grandma, she has a Pensieve – Merlin knows how or where she got one…

I love you always Teddy,

Your mother, Dora Lupin xxx
(because only a fool would call their daughter NYMPHADORA!)

Teddy laughed softly at the last part; Harry had told him his mother hated her full name many times. He took the memories and went downstairs to the kitchen, where he knew his grandma was getting lunch ready for herself and Teddy.

"Grandma," Teddy started softly. "Can I borrow your Pensieve?"

His grandmother smiled. "Of course."

Andromeda led her grandson to the lounge room and opened an ancient-looking cabinet to reveal her Pensieve. "Take your time"

Teddy smiled. "Thanks grandma."

While Andromeda toddled off back to the kitchen, Teddy opened the first vial of the collection and tipped it's contents into the Pensieve. He saw snippets swirling around and, taking a breath, he put his face in.
