I actually wrote this story for the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, but I am only just now uploading it.
Thank you so much to my amazing beta, Little Miss Thalia Grace.
It had been fifteen years since the Battle for Hogwarts and Teddy Lupin had grown quite a lot. Teddy was tall for his age and just a little bit skinny. Also, Teddy was unusual in several ways.
For one Teddy had never met his parents, as they had both died during the Battle for Hogwarts, and for another, Teddy was a metamorphmagus. This meant he could change his appearance whenever he wanted, although he usually kept his appearance the same, with piercing green eyes and turquoise hair tipped with pink. He kept the green eyes mainly so he wouldn't stick out among his adoptive siblings so much.
For Teddy had in fact been adopted by his godfather, Harry Potter, soon after the Battle for Hogwarts. Teddy didn't mind the fact that he was adopted, as he had no memories of his parents, and only knew what they looked like from photographs that Harry had. In the fifteen years since the Battle, Teddy had gained an adoptive mother, and several adopted siblings.
For in the fifteen years Harry had married Hermione Granger and they had had three kids together. The oldest, James, had just started going to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry that very year, and was in Gryffindor, like Teddy. Albus was eight and Lily was five. Teddy adored the Potters and they treated each other as if they really were related. Teddy always spent some of his time at home on school holiday playing with his younger siblings, and had tried to look out for James during his first year, without being overprotective.
So, while there was no doubt that Teddy Lupin loved his adoptive family, he had longed for as long as he could remember to be able to see his parents in a more real way than a picture.
This was partially inspired by a post on Tumblr.
