Ten Things You Wish You Knew About Teddy Lupin.
By Alice. Jericho
Starting from number ten, Teddy Lupin is going to count down the Top Ten things you didn't know about him.
10. Despite popular belief, Teddy Lupin actually despises his hair being turquoise.
How did people think this up? Just because the first time I changed my hair colour it turned turquoise doesn't mean I actually like the bloody colour. I couldn't control what colour my hair changed to! If I had to choose a shade of blue, it'd be ultramarine. A deep blue, that's more my style. Although, I prefer my hair to be green-yellow. It's a very eye catching colour, and I do like to be the centre of attention.
9. Teddy Lupin wishes people would stop requesting colours for his hair or eyes, as well as shapes for his face.
If your family, sure. Go ahead. If not, bugger off. I don't mean to be rude, but I don't know you. Why would I abuse my gift to please you? On a good day, maybe I will show you what awesome things I can do to my face. A lady once requested I make my mouth into that of a chimpanzee. What kind of request is that coming from a complete stranger? So people, don't bother. Thanks.
8. Teddy Lupin didn't want to go to Hogwarts.
Of course you bring this up, but yes, it's true. I was scared to go to Hogwarts. Sure, everything had been rebuilt since the battle and people had been attending it since the year after it took place, but how was I supposed to walk those halls after everything that had happened? My parents died in that school! I think it's personally reasonable that I didn't want to go there. I didn't want to have to look at the many plaques that had been put up in memory of the fallen. I went though, because I wasn't going to Durmstrang, or Beauxbatons. I don't regret it. It's a great school.
7. If given the opportunity, Teddy Lupin would love to join Charlie Weasley in Romania.
I have a thing for dragons. They're so awesome. If I could get a job training dragons, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Downside, Romania. I don't want to have to move to Romania. That's too far away, if there was a training camp for dragons in say, England. Of course, no question But I don't think there is one. So I guess I can settle for reading about them in books and listening to stories.
6. As silly as it may seem, Teddy Lupin wishes people would stop referring to him as Harry Potter'sGodson.
Hey, I love Harry. He's the closest thing I've had to a father, even if he is only 17 years older than me. I look up to him; he's the guy I go to for help. But seriously, I am my own person. I don't expect people to understand that, because to some I'll only be ever known as that or the son of Remus and Nymphadora. I know my parents were great people, I've heard the stories, but I'm Teddy. And I'm trying to build up my own legacy.
5. Teddy Lupin was sorted into Hufflepuff house; even if people said he was a definite Gryffindor.
Oh yeah. Hufflepuff is my house! It was Mum's house, too. People thought I was going to be a Gryffindor. Said I was as brave as they come. Said I was a lot like Dad and Harry. Turns out I'm more like my mother. Not that the Sorting Hat didn't think about putting me in Gryffindor, it took some serious consideration before I was put into Hufflepuff. I think it even considered Ravenclaw... But Hufflepuff was where I ended up.
4. People like to think that Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley were best friends growing up, but that's not the case.
True, growing up Victoire and I loathed each other. She was such a princess! I like to think of myself as a laid back kind of guy, so naturally I was going to hate her. I don't think I started liking her until I was sixteen. That's when we became friends. We weren't best friends though; my best friend was Jackson Bradley. It took me a year to realise that I had feeling for her. Then another six months to tell her... She was in her fifth year, studying for her O., I didn't want to freak her out too much, and I was in seventh year studying for my N.E., I didn't need to lose a friend. When James spotted us kissing, I'd just told her I liked her. Stupid boy, ruin my moment.
3. Though it may seem otherwise, Teddy Lupin loves James Sirius and Albus Severus. As brothers of course.
Those guys can be annoying as hell, no doubt about it. Sometimes I think my life would be easier without them. Then I remember that they've managed to help me through some crazy stuff, and that I need them. Soppy? Yeah, I thought so too. But it's the truth. I remember that when Albus was eight years old, I was sixteen, and I may or may not have had a girl in my room. Okay, so I did. Albus walked in on us in a compromising position. Then he promised that he wouldn't tell anyone. So, that sounds really lame? And doesn't make much sense? Seriously, I'm just grateful it was him and not Lily. I would have scarred the girl for life. Not that I didn't scare Albus... But now I'm his idol.
2. Teddy Lupin frequently loses control of his metamorphagus powers.
This is an interesting one. It doesn't happen often, but it happens. It happened in the above mentioned compromising position, my hair turned scarlet red. When I was about to board the Hogwarts Express my hair turned an insanely bright yellow, and my eyes turned a ruby red. It happens, it does. I sometimes wish it wouldn't. People know what I'm feeling if it happens. So not cool. It's something I can't change though, and I wouldn't for the world.
1. The happiest day of Teddy Lupin's life came on May 2, 2020.
It should have been a sad day, twenty-two years after my parents died. It wasn't though. It was Victoire's twentieth birthday, and the day we got married. That's cheesy and lame, but it's so good. We had a wonderful wedding, and she looked as beautiful as ever. It was an amazing day for all, and I hope my parents are happy that we didn't spend the day mourning their death, as I'm told they would have wanted me to live a happy life, but instead chose to make it the most beautiful day ever.
There you have it, that's what you wish you knew about Teddy Lupin. And now you know it!
