"Teddy, meet Lily." Celine said smiling; her red hair was sticking to her face from sweat. George lifted the toddler onto the bed with his wife and Teddy looked at the babe in Celine's arms curiously.
"Willy?" Teddy asked pointing at Lily. Celine nodded.
"Yes Teddy, Lily." Teddy smiled and got excited, "Wed hair! Wed hair! I have wed hair too!" the two year old exclaimed changing his hair color to the same shade of red as the little girl. Celine and George laughed just as Harry and Ginny came in. George greeted them while Teddy was still entranced at the small baby.
"Willy siter?" he asked. Celine shrugged, "If you want her to be," Teddy shook his head wildly.
"No! Willy friend. Yes Willy friend," Celine and Ginny giggled.
"Okay Ted Lily can be your friend," Celine said smiling before turning her attention to her twin brother and his fiancé.
Six months later Teddy was staying with George and Celine at their home in Godric's Hollow. Teddy had just woken up and came toddling into the kitchen yawning.
"Morning auntie 'Lina," he mumbled as Celine scooped him up and put him in a high chair next to Lily.
"Morning Teddy," Celine said before busying herself with his breakfast.
"Hey Willy!" Teddy greeted his "friend". Lily giggled and happiness glowed in her green eyes. Teddy started messing around with his hair color and Lily squealed in delight. Teddy smiled and continued doing it before saying, "Auntie 'Lina I like her laugh!" Celine laughed and watched the two in amusement.
At Lily's second birthday party Teddy helped her blow out her candles.
"Tank yoo Teddy-bear!" Lily squealed, clapping. Celine smiled, she knew they would be closer than anyone else. She found it adorable the little nicknames Lily and Teddy had for each other. For Lily it was "Lily-flower" and for Teddy "Teddy-bear". Of course they out grew those nicknames quickly after four years passed and little James Potter and Sirius Weasley came into their lives.
"Teddy, mummy and daddy don't like me anymore," Six year old Lily sobbed. Eight year old Teddy frowned.
"How do you know that?" he asked. Lily sniffed.
"They're always with Sirius. Never me," she said almost crying. Teddy threw an arm around her.
"I'll always be with you. I won't leave, I promise!" he said smiling.
"You mean it? Pinky-swear!" she said smiling and holding up her pinky. Teddy wrapped his pinky around hers.
"I pinky-promise that I'll always be with you Lily," he said smiling.
Two more years passed and Albus and Arthur came. Teddy and Lily grew even closer, another year passed and Teddy got a letter. That was when their friendship hit a bump in the road. They were all congregated at the Burrow, when Harry whipped out a letter and handed it to Teddy, who opened it quickly.
"I got a letter to Hogwarts!" he shouted. Nine year old Lily gasped.
"Really?" she asked looking over his shoulder.
"Yeah Lils, I'm going to Hogwarts!" he shouted gleefully hugging the adults. Lily however ran out of the room unnoticed, she knew what Hogwarts meant. It meant that Teddy was leaving and wouldn't be coming back for almost a year. Lily escaped to outside where she ran to the broom shed and fell against it crying. She didn't want Teddy to leave. She didn't want to be left behind with all the younger children or Victoire for that matter. Lily pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. The moon was well into the sky when Harry came out and found her.
"I found her! She's okay!" he called back into the house. Then Harry noticed the tears.
"Hey, what's wrong, love?" Harry asked kneeling down in front of her.
"Teddy's going to leave me behind with all the younger kids-alone. I don't want to be alone," she explained. Harry ran a hand through his messy hair and sighed.
"I see-but you'll be going in two years. You just can't go this time, Lil. Come on, your mum is worried about you." Lily took Harry's outstretched hand and he led her inside where she was tackled by Teddy.
"I was worried about you where'd you go?" he asked quickly. Lily didn't answer and pushed him away, then was hugged by her mum and dad.
"Lily?" Teddy asked, she ignored him and sat down at the table to eat dessert.
"Why won't you talk to me Lily? " Teddy asked, following Lily throughout the house as she tried to get away.
"Leave me alone Theodore!" Lily snapped at him.
"Oh, first name basis Ted. You need to give it a rest, let her cool down a bit all right?" George advised, motioning for him to come down the stairs. Sighing Teddy obeyed but he still didn't understand why Lily refused to speak to him.
"Mummy I don't want to go. Why can't I stay here?" Lily asked her mum as she helping her dress. Celine sighed aggravated.
"Because dear, nine year olds can't stay at home alone. There, now go down stairs while I change Arthur's nappy."
"Fine," Lily said storming out of the room. She ran down the stairs and into the living room where Gramma and Grammpa were waiting along with Harry, Ginny and kids, Bill and Fleur with Victoire and Dominque, Andromeda Teddy's grandmother, Teddy, and then her father was waiting with Sirius.
"Where's your mum?" he asked. Lily exhaled deeply.
"Changing Arthur's nappy." A few moments later Celine came down the steps.
"Ok, are we ready?" she asked. They all piled into three separate cars, regrettably Teddy, Victoire and Lily were pushed into the back seat of one. Teddy was in the middle, so Lily stared out her window trying to ignore him.
"Lily, please talk to me-Why won't you?" he pleaded. Lily turned to look at him.
"You're leaving me. You promised you wouldn't!" she snapped. Teddy understood now.
"Aw I'm sorry Lils. I wasn't thinking about Hogwarts at the time. To think you and Victoire will join me in two years, that'll be fun won't it?" Victoire and Lily looked at each other then shook their heads,
"No. It won't," Victoire huffed, turning to look out her window.
"I am sorry Lily-You know I'd never leave you on purpose right?" Teddy whispered to Lily.
"I forgive you-" Lily muttered, "only if you promise to write." Teddy smiled.
"You know I will Lil."
After watching the scarlet train disappear everyone got back into the cars to return to the burrow. Lily and Victoire were forced in the back together again. Victoire eyed Lily.
"You do know Teddy likes me better don't you? I'm going to marry him one day," said Victoire firmly. Lily's head shot towards her.
"Teddy hardly likes you. And who says he's going to pick a prat like you to be his wife?" she retorted. Victoire's lip curled and she looked back out the window.
The next day when Lily and her family were with her Aunt and Uncle they received a letter from Teddy, saying he had been sorted into Gryiffindor. Harry and her dad were ecstatic, as was her mum and Aunt Ginny. A day later a letter came for Lily from Teddy. In the letter he told her all about Hogwarts, the classes and how nice the teachers were.
