"You think we meant for this to happen? You think we meant to be attracted to each other, to let nature and destiny and all that bullshit she went on as a kid, happen? It was…I'm not sorry about Lily and I never will be," Teddy's hair was dark red, Lily noticed as she sat safely on the couch.
Her father, mother, and two brothers were across them. Teddy had been sitting, until James had said some stupid thing and Teddy erupted with anger he rarely had.
Harry stared at Teddy carefully, "And the age difference?"
Teddy rolled his eyes in response to that. "Please, don't you pull that age as your last resort. You know damn well that my parents had a bigger age difference that ten years."
"And they were also older and could actually think out their actions, instead of a seventeen and twenty seven year old," James remarked.
"James, goddamn it, don't speak to Teddy about his parents! You didn't know them so leave it be." Lily spoke with her voice firm, her dark red hair covering half her face. Teddy looked to Lily and gave her a small smile.
"Now," she stood and grabbed Teddy's hand, "Until you all can deal with Teddy and I, I will be staying at his place."
Ginny stood to match her daughter's height, "Lily Luna Potter, I don't think so."
Lily only smiled. "I'm seventeen, Mum. Of age, of course." And out she walked, with a sheepish Teddy behind her, his hair now a light pink.
The Potters, excluding Lily, sat there discussing the couple of Teddy and Lily. They were right, it was a big age difference. Teddy was also right, his parents did have a bigger one and Harry and Ginny themselves encouraged the late married couple. When Remus was being foolish and silly, couldn't come to terms that Tonks had loved him, despite him being a werewolf and the age difference.
They hadn't wanted to admit it, but they were going to have to accept Teddy and Lily. They didn't want to lose their daughter and sister. Besides, they knew Teddy, how bad could he be?
