Remus stilled as someone knocked on the door. Even with Voldemort dead and many of his supporters locked away, he was still cautious. The door creaked as he slowly opened it and peered through the crack to see Bill Weasley. Fully opening the door, Remus leaned on the door frame. "Hello Bill. I'm afraid Tonks is out at the moment. She went to Grimmauld Place to visit George. You could probably meet her in Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes."
"Actually Remus I came to talk to you. Do you mind if I come in?" The elder man gestured for Bill to follow him and led him to the living room. Sitting opposite each other, Bill began to speak: "As you probably know I recently became a Werewolf. I've already transformed a couple of times. I was wondering, however, if you could give me some advice about where I can undergo the transformation and that kind of thing." Remus nodded in understanding.
"Obviously large woods that don't have camping sites are the best place to spend full moons. I would tell you where I spend my full moons however it is unwise to have two or more male Werewolves close by." Bill nodded. They continued on for many hours, sharing their experiences, recounting the pain, and in the dawn of the next morning a friendship was formed. They became a pack of two.
Remus was putting Teddy in his crib when someone furiously pounded on the door. Yanking open the door, wand at the ready, he came face to face with a very panicked looking man.
"Bill!" What's wrong? Has something happened?" He led the troubled man over to the lounge. Taking a deep breath Bill spoke.
"Fleur's pregnant."
"Well that's wonderful news. Congratulations Bill!" But the younger man just shook his head.
"That's why I came over. What if the baby is a Werewolf? Have you noticed anything with Teddy? What am I going to do?"
"What you are going to do is calm down." Remus said looking him straight in the eye. "I understand your concern. I was just the same when Tonks was expecting Teddy. So far I haven't noticed any Werewolf tendencies with Teddy but maybe he won't develop the characteristics until later. Maybe being a Werewolf isn't genetic and he will never become one. No one knows because until now no one knew of a 2nd generation Werewolf. There is nothing either of us can do about it. What you are going to do now is go straight home and apologise to Fleur because no doubt you freaked out on her and ran when she told you." Bill looked sheepish and nodded. The two men walked to the door.
"Thank you Remus."
"Shut up and go home you wanker."
The two remained good friends and regularly talked so Remus was surprised to find a very angry Bill at his door.
"Where is your son Lupin?" He all but growled.
"Teddy? He's on the Hogwarts train just like Victoire." Again Bill growled which was worrying the former Marauder. "Bill calm down."
"Calm down? You want me to calm down? I can't calm down! You know why? Because I just learnt that your son is dating my daughter!" Bill looked ready to explode. Remus on the other hand was shocked.
"They're dating? Since when?"
"I don't know. What I do know is that James Potter saw them snogging on the train before it left." Unlike Bill, Remus had been unable to go to the Platform and see the children off. Now he wished he had.
"Bill I think you are over reacting." He put his hand up when said man opened his mouth to argue. "Just listen. Victoire is 15 and Teddy is 16. They are old enough to date if they want. Sure Teddy is older but you and I are also than our wives. A lot older." Bill nodded, seeing his point but still didn't look like he agreed with the situation. "Also, Victoire and Teddy are smart. I'm sure they know what they're doing. I trust Teddy. Don't you trust Victoire?"
"I do trust her Remus, I do. I just want to see her heart broken."
"I know what you mean. However, they have been friends for years. They do care about each other." Bill sighed.
"I see what you mean and I'm sorry for yelling at you." He suddenly brightened up. "Want to write a letter to our kids and scare them."
Needless to say everyone in the Great Hall were confused when Teddy bolted out, leaving Victoire very pale as she clutched the letter he had just been reading.
