Just going to put this out here, if I owned Harry Potter it would have a prequel.

Teddy Lupin

1. One time when he was about seventeen, a woman about 50 years old, was watching him from her seat at the café. He noticed this and walked up to her and asked what she was looking at.

Apparently a little harshly, because her eyes watered a little. She mumbled sorry and explained to him that he reminded her of her long dead friend. It embarrassed him a little, but he was a little curious, so he asked her if he could join her. At first it was a little awkward, her explaining that he reminded of a school friend that had died nearly two decades ago. He couldn't explain it, but there was something about her description of him that intrigued him.

They ended up talking for two hours. At the end he asked her what her friends name was.

"Remus Lupin, "she had said. "It's stupid and weird, but you posture and the way you hold yourself, reminds me so much of him," and she left. He had watched her walk away, mouth open, thinking that those two hours, in retrospect, were the oddest of his life.

2. He never told anyone about that woman, but decided to find her. When he went back to Hogwarts that year, for his final year, the first thing he did after the welcoming feast, was wander the school looking for photos of the graduating class of '78.

He found a big picture taken on the day they had graduated, the whole year there and a list of the students in the photo under it. Her name was Alexandra Hairish and she was the Slytherin prefect for her year.

And he visited her, and he was in touch with her until the day she died, the very day his first son was born.

3. For most of his life he had a crush on Victoire Weasley, and then when he was 13 and she was 11, they went to Diagon Alley to get her school supplies for her first year and his third. Some idiot was making fun of him about his hair and she walked right up to them and told them off.

And although he wouldn't tell a soul that was the moment he fell in love with her.

4. He was clumsy, he would bump into tables, stub his toe, bang his elbow and everyone always told him that his mom was clumsy, that he was like her very much. And he hated it, not the fact that he was like his mom, but that he was clumsy. It was easily the most impractical attribute he possessed. So he tried to stop, and one day he noticed that Victoire was very graceful.

He though it was because she did ballet, so when he was fourteen, while on summer vacation he took a few classes. Secretly of course, he would tell his grand-ma that he was at Harry's and Harry that he was at his grand-ma's.

He never told anyone, but somehow his almost cousin, Rose, found out. She was only six but understood the idea of a secret surprisingly well and never told anyone.

Years later he would ask her how she found out and she simply said that it had been a hunch and he had proved her right by admitting it. He though that it was odd that any six year old could be that smart, but decided to give it to her, her mother was Hermione Granger-Weasly after all.

5. When he was five and his grand-ma explained to him that his parents were dead, and he still remembers the look his grand-ma wore when he asked how they had died. She said a stupid accident, and he just nodded, not knowing what to do so he went to his room.

It was not until years later that he understood that the expression on her face was not one of sorrow, but of betrayal.

6. His grand-ma had never lost contact with her sister Narcissa and after the war; they came out and spent time together openly.

He knew he should love her, she was great to him, and of course she saved Harry in the last battle. Still there was something about her that always bothered him. '

When he was 7, he got over it and started to get her to open up more. He decided that she was not that bad, never saying the "M" word, her husband on the other hand, no matter what, he never stayed in the same room as him.

7. He understood what had compelled Harry to name his son after someone who almost raised him but still felt that Albus Severus Potter was bordering on child cruelty.

And James and Lily? Weren't they a married couple?

8. As cute or sweet anyone would call the Potter boy and redhead girl curse, he always thought the whole Oedipus complex a little weird.

He told Harry this and he just chuckled saying that you can't choose who you fall in love with. He decided he was right and then decided to compare Harry's parents wedding photo's with James Potter II's. The similarities were frightening.

9. The day before his last day at Hogwarts, with a few friends, he to completely pave the school's floors with forks. Not a great prank he knew, but for some strange reason, it always made him laugh so hard.

10. After he had graduated from Hogwarts, in Victoire's seventh year, he snuck in to the school. It was a Saturday and none of the teachers seemed to mind.

And then it started to rain and he dragged her out and they rolled around in the mud for twenty minutes, until she started complaining about getting a cold.

And he proposed to her. Right there, right then, as she rattled off about how not only would she be sick but this was also her favorite shirt and it was now ruined. She stopped mid sentence mouth open and then punched him, saying that it was the worst proposal ever. He grinned at her cheekily and said that he was not repeating that. She said yes almost immediately.

I love reading these, so I had my go at a few characters. Hope that if you read it you like it.
