Teddy Remus Lupin

DOB: April 20 1998

Appearance

Teddy is a boy who never quite grew out of the 'awkward' phase. As a child, he was quite skinny and scrawny, and a little on the small side. By the time he reached thirteen, he shot up at least three feet, however, he remained rather lanky and didn't quite fit into his body. As an adult, he is very tall, the tallest out of all of his almost cousins and has a lean build, with only a little bit of muscle from playing Quidditch at Hogwarts.

Being a Metamorphamagus like his mother, Teddy's true appearance is hard to determine. However, he commonly sports bright turquoise hair that is a little shaggy and deep, golden eyes. His skin is fair, but he has a defined T-shirt tan that he is extremely self conscious about. Though not overly handsome, Teddy has a sweet, adorable smile that captivated many girls, especially Victoire and pleasant facial features.

Personality

Teddy was a little shy as a boy, but overall cheery and bubbly. He is kind hearted and loyal friend. As he grew older, he was great at giving advice, and is the go to person for many of the younger Weasleys. However, he lacks self esteem and confidence, and tends to doubt his own abilities. His insecurities are his biggest flaw.

Early Years

Growing up without knowing his parents was a heavy burden for Teddy when he was younger. Even though he had a loving family, he often felt as though he wasn't good enough and that his parents didn't love him. As he went through adolescence, he held a lot of built up resentment towards his parents for abandoning him to go and fight the war, however, he realises as he grows up, that his parent's sacrificed their lives for a good cause and they did a noble thing.

He spent most of his time alternating between his grandmother, Andromeda's house, and Harry's, though as an infant, he was mostly with Andromeda. In terms of schooling, Teddy was sent to a Muggle primary school in order to be taught basic skills, and was forced to keep his appearance 'normal', while at school. Though he made a few friends, Teddy knew that he would never fit in among the Muggles because he was different.

Harry and Ginny treated Teddy like their own son and he was accepted as part of the Weasley family, which he enjoyed. However, he never forgot who his real parents were. Every year, on the anniversary of their death, Harry and Andromeda would take Teddy to his parent's graves for him to talk to them. It was an extremely emotional experience for the young boy, and sometimes even traumatic. But he was able to feel close to his parents.

Hogwarts

Teddy started his first year of Hogwarts on September 1st, 2009 and was sorted into Gryffindor House. He shared a dormitory with Samuel Cole, who quickly became his best friend. While he was adored by all the Professors, particularly Professor McGonagall and Professor Longbottom, Teddy had his fair share of enemies. Jerome Flint, a Slytherin in his year, took pleasure in teasing him constantly about being a Metamorphamagus. It wasn't until fourth year he finally learnt to ignore Flint's bullying.

In Fifth year, he was made Gryffindor Prefect along with Nicola Stebbins and in Seventh year, he was made Head Boy. Overall, he was a talented student, with a particular gift in Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Potions, History of Magic and Herbology were his weakest subjects, much to Professor Longbottom's disappointment.

While at Hogwarts, Teddy was part of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, captaining the team in the sixth and seventh years. He was a Chaser, and while he was part of the team, Gryffindor won the House Cup three times (two when he was captain). He was also Gryffindor's Wizard's Chess Champion, thanks to Ron's teachings when he was younger.

He graduated Hogwarts in 2016.

Career

After school, Teddy was lucky enough to earn an Auror scholarship; even though he had missed out on achieving his Potions and Herbology NEWTs. For a long time, he was begrudged because many thought his relationship with Harry (who was Head of the Auror Office) had given him a spot, but he soon proved his worth as an effective Auror. He worked with Sam until he was in his late thirties, when he was promoted to Deputy Head and later Head of the Auror Department. He retired when he was 67 years old.

Whilst at Hogwarts, Teddy would help out George and Angelina with the joke shop during the summer holidays.

Relationships

Victoire Weasley

Initially, Teddy's relationship with Victoire was strained. They loathed each other as children, for they were very different individuals. Teddy thought she was annoying, spoilt and girly, and kept this opinion of her for quite a while. Then, in his fourth year, he finally noticed her as a girl and not as a child, and began to develop feelings for her. At first, his feelings were unrequited, for Victoire was dating Jarrod Davies, but on Christmas, 2014, they shared their first kiss and began dating soon afterwards.

Teddy proposed to Victoire on Valentines Day, 2022, and the couple were married on May 30, 2023, when Teddy was 26. Two years later, they had their first daughter, Violet Fleur Lupin, who had inherited her father's Metamorphamagus gift. Their second daughter, Isabelle Nymphadora Lupin, was born a year later.

Samuel Cole

Upon meeting on the first day of Hogwarts, Teddy and Sam became best friends immediately. They are very similar in personalities and are almost inseparable. Teddy often helped Sam find his feet, particularly around girls, and was the one who set up Sam's relationship with Rachel Ferris. Teddy and Sam's relationship spanned well into adulthood, and Teddy's daughters and Sam's son grew up to be extremely close friends.

Harry Potter

Teddy idolised Harry for much of his life, and looked up to him. As his only father figure, Teddy often went to Harry with his problems, particularly problems related to Victoire. Harry would tell Teddy stories of his parents, which was something Andromeda never did. Teddy and Harry maintained a tight bond for their entire life and Harry treated him like his own son.

Andromeda Tonks

As her only grandson and the child of her only daughter, Andromeda absolutely adored Teddy. She would spoil him rotten and doted on him more than should be proper. She was very protective of Teddy, and would never mention anything about the war and his parent's part in it, thinking it was better to keep Teddy in the dark. Teddy was very fond of his grandmother, but sometimes felt she was a little solemn and cynical; a result of her heritage and the loss of her husband and daughter.

A/N: I saw someone had done a Head Cannon profile for their characters and I decided I'd give it a go. It's not a story, more a factual recount of their lives as I see it in my mind. I thought it could be something people might enjoy reading, and perhaps explain some of my one shots in More Than Blood. It's also for my own benefit, so that I know what is happening to the characters at certain times, and so I can stick to my characterisation.

My Teddy is awkward, to put it bluntly. He's not overly handsome, even though he can change his appearance, because he just wants to be as normal as possible. He's a little shy, has a bit of a stutter, but is adorable and great at giving advice. He is my favourite Next Gen character, if you couldn't tell.
