Story 1: Meeting Victorie

"But Grandma I hate visiting your friends!" Teddy told his grandmother as she packed his suit case. "They always pinch my cheeks and talked to me like I'm stupid!"

"Teddy you have to come. You're too young to be left home alone." She told him, her voice stern.

"Cant Harry and Ginny watch me?" He asked hopefully.

"I couldn't ask them to do that. They babysit you everyday while I'm at work. I couldn't ask them to watch you on their days off."

"Why not?"

"Because it's not nice, Teddy." Grandma told him. "Now go play. I need to pack your things. " Grandma ordered.

"But Grandma, it would just gana be this weekend and-"

"Teddy enough. Please! You're coming with me end of discussion!" Grandma walked into the hall to get extra blankets from the hall closet.

Teddy Lupin was 4 years old. He had dark brown eyes and short blue hair. He was a wizard and also a Metamorphmagus, which means he can change his physical appearance without a polo juice potion. Teddy`s Parents were Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, they both died in the second wizarding war when Teddy wasn't even a year old. He has lived with his widowed grandmother ever since.

Teddy sat on his bed and pouted.

"I`m not going! I`m gana run away so then I cant go!" Teddy yelled. Grandma re-enters the bedroom and places the blanket in the suitcase to the left of Teddy.

Grandma sighed and sat to the right of Teddy.

"Teddy, Aunt Zorah`s is very sick." Grandma said softly. "This may be my last chance I get to see her."

"What do you mean?" Teddy asked.

"She's dying. " Grandma told Teddy. She then starts to tear up. "Everyone I love is dying! First your grandfather then Nymphadora and Remus. Why would the lord take Zorrah now?"

Teddy`s eyes fill with guilt and sadness, for giving his grandma such a hard time. Teddy hugged her.

"I`m sorry. " Teddy spoke softly.

"It's ok Teddy. "

"At least you still have someone…"Teddy told her. "…you have me and I'll always be here, Grandma."

Grandma smiled then kissed Teddy on his head.

Later that day Grandma and Teddy were packing up the flying car to visit Aunt Zorrah when Harry and Ginny had stopped by to say goodbye to them both. As soon as Teddy saw them he dropped his suitcase on the ground and ran to Harry and Ginny and gave them both a huge hug.

Teddy didn't have any friends, his grandmother was pretty over protective with Teddy because he was the only family she had left. So Ginny and Harry were his friends to him. Ginny loved kids so when Mrs. Tonks was looking for a babysitter, when Teddy was a year old, Ginny was the first to volunteer herself and Harry, thinking it would be fun. Harry was Teddy`s god father. He related to Teddy, he like Teddy never really knew his parents and lived without many friends his 1st few years. But Harry really had no interest in babysitting Teddy for a good 6 hours. He really only was doing it cause Ginny thought Harry should spend time with Teddy because he was his god father. Teddy immediately took a liking to Harry the first day they met. Ginny was a little mad, but then thought it was cute. Harry began to take a liking to Teddy too. Harry and Ginny both tried to give Teddy a normal and fun childhood, Harry especially wanted to give Teddy a normal childhood because he knew how it felt to have a crappy childhood. Ginny and Harry took him to the park, and movies, and brought him toys from George`s Store even thought they werent supposed to, his grandmother never found out. (they get the jobs of the auror and all that crap later on when they have kids)

"Hey Teddy." Harry said smiling.

"Hey! What are you guys doing here?" Teddy said excitedly.

"We herd you were going on a trip with your Grandmother, we wanted to wish you luck." Ginny told him.

"Are you excited to be going to the US?" Harry asked.

"Nope." Teddy replied simply.

"Why not?" Ginny asked looking confused.

"Grandma`s friends are weird, they pinch my cheeks and smell funny." He told them.

"Teddy! We have to leave now! Were gana miss our flight?" Grandma yelled.

Teddy frowned. "Bye you guys."

Teddy started to walk over to his grandma.

Harry whispered something to Ginny. She nodded.

Grandma put Teddy`s suitcase into the trunk of the car and Teddy got into the backseat.

"Andromeda," Harry called.

Grandma turned toward Harry.

"If Teddy really doesn't want to go he can stay with us for the weekend. We wouldn't mind he can sleep on the couch."

Teddy smiled.

"Thank you, but this is your free day I`m sure you don't wana be watching Teddy." Grandma replied.

"No it alright. " Ginny replied. "We honestly don't mind, we love having him around."

"Well it's not just that though, you've never watched him over night. He has a special routine…"

"Please grandma! " Teddy begged. "Please can I go?"

She hesitated. Then sighed. "Alright Teddy, you can go."

"Yes!" He shouted proudly, he opened the car door and ran to hug his grandma.

"But I will be calling you constantly, "Grandma told Teddy. "And you must call me when you get there, after you eat and before you go to bed."

"Thank you so much! I love you!" Teddy told her.

Teddy`s grandma kissed his head. "You be good. Ok? "

"I will, I always am." Teddy told her." teddy walked to the back of the car.

"Grandma, can you open the trunk so I can get my stuff?" Teddy asked.

The Potter`s flying car arrived at a small little white house with a red roof and red wooden door. Ginny and Harry had just gotten married that year, Ginny and Harry had brought a small house together in wizarding town called Anderson Valley. The three of them walked into the house, Harry carrying Teddy`s suitcase for him.

"Welcome to our home." Ginny said.

Harry placed Teddy`s suitcase onto the couch.

Teddy `s eyes locked on the TV. "You guys have a TV?!" He said excitedly. "Can I watch?"

"Yeah, sure." Harry replied.

Teddy rushed to the couch, he picked up the remote on arm of the couch and turned the TV on. As Teddy turned on the TV, the quidditch channel appeared on the screen.

"Wow! What is that?" Teddy exclaimed amazed.

Harry looked at the TV.

"Oh there playing quidditch."

"What's quidditch?" Teddy asked

"It's a great wizarding sport, Ginny and I love it." Harry said. "It's played by two teams with seven people on each team, three Chasers," Harry pointed to the chasers on each team. "Two Beaters," Harry then points to the beaters on each team. "One Keeper," harry points to the keepers. "And one Seeker. "Harry points to the seekers. "The Keeper protect the goal posts, as the three Chasers try to score goals with the Quaffed, the big red ball, by throwing it into one of the three opposite team's goals. The two Beaters keep the Bludgers, the smallish purple ball, away from hitting their teammates and hit the Bludgers with the bats towards the opposite team, and the Seeker catches the Golden Snitch to end the game. The team that Seeker catches the Snitch is awarded 1 50 points."

"Ugh….what?" Teddy replied.

Harry chuckled. "It's easier to understand once you watch it."

Teddy watched the match. As Harry walked into the kitchen where Ginny was starting lunch, he kissed Ginny on the cheek. Then Ginny kissed Harry on the lips. Harry went over to the phone and checked the messages.

"You have one message. " The machine said.

"Hey Ginny, it's Mom." Molly`s voice said. "Its Monday July 1st, I just wanted to remind you that this weekend on July 6th at 5:00 PM will be our first annual Weasley Family reunion in the backyard of the Burrow. It will just be the immediate family but I'm sure that will be a lot itself with the kids. I love you sweetie! Bye."

Harry walked over to the calendar on the door next to the stove. It was the 6th of July. Harry then looked at the clock over the stove it was 3:30.

"Ginny, did you know about the reunion?" Harry asked.

"Yeah of course." She replied.

"Why didn't you tell me it's today."

"What are you talking about? It's in a week I'm sure of that." Ginny replied. Ginny walked over to the calendar and saw the date. "Oh my gosh I don't even have an outfit."

"I think we have a more important problem here, Gin." Harry told her. "What are we going to do about Teddy? We promised we`d watch him."

"We`ll just have to bring him, he is practically family, I'm sure mum wouldn't mind." Ginny told him.

As Ginny, Harry and Teddy enter the backyard of the burrow. Ginny dressed in a blue and white striped dress with a red belt. The dress went above her knees and she wore red high heeled shoes. Her hair was curled and she wore a red head band. Harry wore a long sleeve white colored shirt and a black dressed pants, and black dress shoes. Teddy was dressed in a short sleeve collared shirt, light brown pants and white sneakers.

"Ginny! Harry! I`m so glad you could make it!" Molly shouted happily as they walked in. she hugged them both.

Mrs. Weasley looked Ginny up and down. "My goodness, Ginny you look so beautiful." She said smiling at her.

Ginny blushed. "Thanks mum."

Mrs. Weasley looked down at Teddy. "Is this the Lupin boy you two watch?"

"Yeah, " Harry told her. "We are watching Teddy over the weekend while his grandmother is away."

"You two enjoy spending time with Teddy so much, have you two been thinking about having any kids of your own yet?" Molly asked.

Harry and Ginny`s faces turned red with embarrassment.

"Mom!" Ginny yelled.

"We just got married, Mrs. Weasley!" Harry said.

Mrs. Weasley laughed. "Gosh. Don't get all upset. It was just a question."

Mrs. Weasley walked away and the three walked further into the party. They could see Percy feeding his 3 month old baby, Molly. His wife Audry by his side.

Harry was talking to Charlie as Ginny was talking with Percy`s wife. When Teddy saw what he thought was the most beautiful girl. She had long wavy blonde hair, fair light skin, and brown eyes like mine. She wore a white headband in her hair and wore a white and pink spring dress with white sandals. Teddy tugged on Harry`s sleeve. Harry turned toward Teddy.

"What is it, Teddy?" he asks kneeling down to Teddy`s size.

"Who is that girl over there?" Teddy asked him pointing to the blonde girl.

"That's Victorie Weasley. " Harry told Teddy. "Her dad is Ginny`s oldest brother."

Teddy nodded.

"Do you wana go talk to her?" Harry asked. "You can if you`d like."

Teddy quickly and nervously shook his head no. he was nervous to talk to normal kids let alone a girl. Harry looked at him disappointed.

"Teddy, your never gana make any friends your own age if you don't try."

"I don't need friends I got you and Ginny." He replied abruptly.

"Of course, but don't you want friends your own age? Who don't tire as easily as we do, friends who like the same things you do, friends who will go to Hogwarts with you?"

"Well yeah. But I don't think she`ll wana be my friend." Teddy told Harry.

"Your never gana know unless you try."

Teddy thought for a moment. "….Can you come with me, Harry?"

"Of course." Harry replied with a smile as he took Teddy`s hand.

Teddy and Harry walked over to Victorie. Teddy held Harry`s hand tightly, he was so scaried.

Harry tapped Victorie on the shoulder.

"Hi Victorie." Harry started.

"Hi." She smiled.

"I just wanted to introduce you to my god son, Teddy Lupin. You're both the same age I thought you two might make good friends. "

"Oh it's nice to meet you, Teddy." She said putting out her hand.

"…..you to meet nice too." Is what Teddy said as he shook her hand.

Victorie Looked confused. "What?"

"I mean nice to meet you too." He quickly corrected himself.

Victorie giggled. "You're funny! Wana play tag?" Victorie asked.

Teddy looks up at Harry nervously.

"Go ahead, have some fun!" Harry told me.

Teddy smiled and tagged Victorie`s arm.

"Your it!" then he ran off. She chased after him, she was pretty quick for a girl.

She tapped his shoulder. "Tag your it!" then she ran and he chased her.

Harry watched proudly from the side line for a while. Then eventually left them alone to go mingle with the others at the party.

Victorie and Teddy sat next to one another at dinner. Harry and Ginny sat across from them. Another couple was sitting to the left of Harry, the women had frizzy long brown hair and brown eyes and the man had short orange hair and brown eyes. They seemed to be very good friends with Harry they kept laughing, talking and telling stories. Victorie`s parents sat at the other end of the table with Victorie`s grandparents.

"So why is your hair blue?" Victorie asked pointing to Teddy`s hair.

Even as a little kid Teddy hated his hair, everyone always was so fascinated by his hair. He was the only Metamorphmagus in his town he`d be in the store with his grandma, and people would whisper "that must be the Metamorphmagus baby." It made him feel like a circus clown, like he was some kind of freak.

"I don't know, it just came that way." Teddy said as if it was no big deal.

"I like it!" Victorie said. "It looks really cool! I wish my hair was a cool color like that! "

He gave her a smile. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." Victorie replied. "Hey, have you read the super cat books?"

"Yeah! Jesse is my favorite cat he is so funny!" Teddy answered.

"My favorite character is Lisa because she's the leader."

"Have you seen the one where-"

"Stop talking Teddy and eat." Ginny told him. "Your grandma is gana be mad at Harry and I if you come home looking like you haven't eaten a thing."

Victorie looked at Ginny confused. Then turned to Teddy. "Why do you live with your grandparents? Don't you have a mom and dad?"

Ginny and Harry exchanged a look of worry. Teddy was pretty comfortable with talking about his parents with Ginny and Harry. They always told him interesting stories about them and made him feel as if he knew them and that they were alive. But other people reminded him that were dead by saying things like, "oh I'm sorry for your loss." Or "that's tragic." It just it made him cry over them.

Teddy just sat there and looked at his food sadly.

"What's wrong?" Victorie asked Teddy.

"Victorie, can I talk to you for-"Ginny started to say.

"…..my parents are dead." Teddy said solemnly. "My parents are dead!" Teddy sobbed. Harry and Ginny ran over to Teddy and hugged him. Teddy cried on Ginny`s shoulder.

"It's ok. It's ok." Ginny reassured him.

"Don't worry about it." Harry told him.

"I'm sorry." Victorie said guilty. "I didn't mean to make you cry."

Teddy ignored her.

After a little while Teddy started to feel better. He ran over to Victorie who was listening to her mom`s boring conversations with Angela.

"Hey." Teddy said tapping Victorie on the shoulder.

Victorie turned toward Teddy.

"Hey." Victorie replied.

"I`m sorry I got so upset I-"

"No its okay. Of course your gana be upset. I`m sorry I brought it up."

"But I shouldn't have ignored you all threw out dinner."

"Its okay, don't worry about it. ….Hey do you wana play hide and seek?"

Teddy smiled. "Sure!"

Victorie and Teddy played and talked for the rest of the night. When it was time for Victorie to leave she through a fit to stay longer.

"Victorie you can see Teddy again another time." Bill told her. " But we have to go now I have work in the morning."

"I don't care!" Victorie screamed. " I wana stay longer! I wana STAY!"

Everyone around them covered their ears, Victorie`s scream was like nail scratching on a chalk board.

"Victorie! Don't you scream like that!" Fleur said scolding Victorie. "Now we are gana leave and you are going to be quiet. And if you are quiet me and Daddy will call Ginny and Harry tomorrow and set up a play date for you too. Okay?"

"Okay mum." Victorie answered.

Bill and Fleur said their good byes to everyone. Then Teddy and Victorie said good bye. Victorie hugged Teddy tightly.

"Bye Teddy." Victorie said.

"Bye Victorie."
