Here goes the first chapter of Teddy Lupin's ABCs...
A: Address
The day the owl had come swooping into their kitchen, Andromeda had cried in secret. The eleven-year-old had been all to eager to open the enevelope, tearing the Hogwarts' seal clean off in his haste. And as Teddy read the letter aloud, his hair bright blue, his grandmother cast a longing gaze to the photos of the other child she had raised.
"Grandma! Grandma! Can we send owls to Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny and Victoire and Aunt Fleur and Uncle Ron and Auntie Hermione and Uncle George and Grandma Molly and Grandpa Weasley an'... an'... and everybody else? Please?"
Dear Harry,
Teddy has requested I write to you following the arrival of a Hogwarts owl this morning. As I am sure you will be delighted to hear, he would like his godfather to assist us when we purchase school supplies tomorrow. Ginny and the kids are invited as well, of course, and...
B: Bubblegum
He had bought a big package of Drooble's Blowing Gum on the train, handing over the sickles to the kindly witch with the trolley. He didn't really know why he did it at the time, but he sat back down anyway. Opening up the package, he popped a piece in his mouth and offered one to the other boy in his compartment.
"Hello. I'm Teddy Lupin. Are you a first year too?" He inquired of the other boy amidst the popping of gum.
The other boy- sandy blonde and blue-eyed, wearing muggle clothes- nodded. "Yep. I'm Cole Kaber. I'm muggle-born, I think that's what it's called, so this is all kinda new for me. Thanks for the bubblegum! But is blue hair... normal?"
Teddy laughed. "No way! I'm a metamorphmagus- my mom was too. It means we can change our hair and eyes an' stuff whenever we want to," he added, seeing a wrinkle of confusion on Cole's forehead.
"That's awesome!! Hey, that's a real big bubble, Teddy. I think it's gonna-"
POP!
"Hah! You got it all over- now your hair's bubblegum-pink!"
C: Camera
His grandmother had snapped a photo of him as they said their goodbyes. A small, blue-haired Teddy waved for eternity, a slightly nervous smile on a face that was determined to be brave, even as godfathers and grandmothers said farewell.
The photo went on the mantelpiece over Andromeda's hearth, last in the line of photos chronicling the Tonks's (And the Lupins) through time. But after a quick bit of thinking, she moved it right next to another picture, taken in the same spot, years before. Here, at least, they could be together- a pink-haired Nymphadora, age eleven, cast curious glances at the platform around her, as her blue-haired son waved sheepishly beside her.
A/N: Well? What do my lovely readers think?
I promised myself never to write fanfics for a book, and look what I did...
How was it? This is the first chapter, obviously. It will continue all the way through the alphabet.
Please review!! And if you know me personally (or why Cole Kaber's name is Cole Kaber) please do not say in a review. PM me instead if you can guess!
