Chapter One: Theodore 'Teddy' Remus Lupin
1. Teddy never felt like he was truly part of the Weasley family.
Though he would always be brought along to the family parties, always received a Weasley jumper at Christmas and was doted over by the Weasleys, he never really felt like he was a Weasley; he always felt like he was just a hanger-on.
It wasn't until he was twenty-three and he was the first that Rose told about her relationship with Scorpius Malfoy that he felt truly accepted.
2. He always snuck away from Victoire's birthday parties.
Teddy loved Victoire with all his heart, but he skipped his birthday party every year. While the Weasley clan and their friends were celebrating her birthday, he snuck away to visit the graves of his parents.
He always feels a bit bad after, because his parents have never been able to be there for him as Victoire has.
3. James, Albus and Lily were really like his siblings, but he was always closer to Rose.
Maybe it was because he lived in the same town as her, but Teddy was always extremely close to Rose. It was young Rose who at the age of ten and a half, told Teddy to summon up the courage at kiss Victoire, it was Rose who made Teddy feel accepted by the Weasleys, it was Rose who was his 'best man' when he and Victoire got married.
And it was Rose who he named his first child after.
4. Out of the Golden Trio, it was Hermione he looked up to the most.
He never told anyone this fact. He knew what their reactions would be. They would all smile and nod, but secretly think we was crazy. Why not Harry Potter – after all, he was the one to save the entire Wizarding World and kill Voldemort! But the reason he looked up to Hermione most was because she'd handled being tortured so well. She wasn't strapped in some hospital bed, weak and limp; she was out working.
And he thought it amazing that she could tell the story without crying.
5. He'll never forgive himself for making George Weasley cry.
At the young and naïve age of seven, he had to stay at his Uncle George's house for a week because his Grandma Andy was sick and his godfather Harry was in hospital awaiting the birth of his second son. He asked his 'Uncle' George to Avada him so he could see what it felt like when his parents and 'Uncle' Fred died.
That was the day he saw the jolliest Weasley broke down in tears.
6. He was the proud owner of the Marauders' Map.
His Uncle Harry trusted him with the Marauders' Map. He felt like Teddy was his son, so why not trust him with it? And he was much more responsible and trustworthy than James, Albus or little Lily.
But unbeknown to Harry, Teddy had the Marauders' Map stolen off him in his seventh year. By two redheaded boys who were even more troublesome than the Maurauders – James and Fred.
7. He didn't learn how to fly until his third year.
Growing up, everyone told Teddy everything. They told him everything he wanted to know – about his parents and the Order of the Phoenix. He bunked off all his first year flying lessons when he heard that Alastor Moody, one of the greatest Aurors, died on one.
But then two years later he remembered Alastor Moody died during the Second Wizarding War.
8. He treasured Molly Weasley's sweaters.
As he got more sweaters, he felt more love and acceptance. So he kept each and every sweater he received since birth in a trunk. He kept them there until his first son was born. He got Rose to sew them together into a blanket.
He'll never forget the twinkle in Molly's eyes as he saw baby Rose Fleur Lupin wrapped in it.
9. He feared Bill Weasley.
From the moment Teddy met him, he feared the oldest Weasley brother. He knew the scars on his face were a symbol of his bravery, but they still scared him. Teddy was scared he would attack him for simply knowing his children. He was quite tall and rather muscular. He'd worked as a Curse Breaker, and it really was something to respect.
But the moment he feared Bill Weasley most was when he saw his angry face as he stopped snogging Victoire on the train platform. He'd never been so scared in his life.
10. He was 100% definite he loved Victoire.
For years, he was in denial that he loved Victoire Weasley. He tried to make himself believe that he didn't, the feelings he felt towards her were brotherly, but the summer after his seventh year, he was definite that he loved her. Everything was different when she was around. The sun shone brighter, nature was at peace, he was happier. He'd never felt the same about anyone.
Everything finally made sense to him. He knew why he'd flew in front of a Bludger for her, he knew that feeling in his stomach every time she's gone out with a boy was jealousy and he was now aware that he blushed every time she approached him.
Teddy loved Victoire with all his heart. He would do anything for her and she would do anything for him.
