I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER
Edward Remus Lupin
April 8, 1998
1. Teddy fell in love during his 5th year
December 31, 2013 to be exact. It was by complete chance, actually. Considering he was a 5th year and Victoire was only 3rd, he never really looked at her like that. She was quiet and always had her head in a notebook—the exact opposite of himself! Of course, they've exchanged friendly words before, but they were never very close.
And then came the 2013 winter break. Teddy came back to Hogwarts only two days after Christmas since the Potters were going to Hawaii and he didn't want to be around Andromeda's sister, Narcissa. Victoire opted to stay instead of going to France with the rest of her family. The best decisions of their lives.
There were only 30 students staying that year, and none were 1st or 2nd year. On New Year's Eve, a Gryffindor 7th year thought it would be best to host a party and spread around the common room password (excluding the 3 Slytherins, of course). And at that party, there happened to be a game of spin the bottle.
He had never had a kiss like that before. He had never been so at ease. A tingle went down his spine and into his toes, the rest of the world evaporated, leaving Teddy and Victoire alone, connected at the lips and enveloped in warmth and tenderness. And Teddy knew he wanted- needed- more.
They had managed to keep it a secret from her parents for a while (because who would want their 13/14 year old to be dating a teenager with bright blue hair and a lip ring?!) until that insufferable Rita Skeeter caught them at the World Cup. Teddy swears that Bill looks at him with a dirty eye every single time now.
boggart was a werewolf
It's not like he was scared of werewolves or anything, he was one of the biggest fighters for half-breed rights. But it wasn't any werewolf—it was him. What if one full moon he ended up turning? He was 25% werewolf, so there was a chance, wasn't there? And if it did, nothing would stop him from hurting his friends, his Grandmother, the Potters, Victoire, or even his future children. He would never sleep peacefully on a full moon, just waiting for the transformation to happen….. yet, in his entire 88 years of living, he never did.
3. Throughout all 7 years at Hogwarts, he's never gotten a detention.
Of course he pulled pranks being a marauder's son and everything; and with the map he was out after hours at least twice a week—but he never got caught. It did help that he could change his appearance at will. Nigel Proia could never understand why the teachers gave him so many detentions when he did nothing at all.
4. Teddy lived in France for a year
It was the year after he graduated. He wanted to learn French. With Victoire at Hogwarts, he didn't tell her of the relocation. The look on her face when he met her at Platform 9 ¾ speaking (almost) fluent French was totally worth it.
And the practice helped when he moved there with Vicky only 3 years later.
5. If he had to pick the marauder he was most like, it would be Sirius Black
He was a reckless hothead. That was basically the only reason. If something annoyed Teddy, he would let that annoyance be known. Anyone who has lived with him has witnessed his yelling. And, according to McGonagall, he is the only person to ever jump out of a window in the Gryffindor tower. It goes without saying that he had a broom with him, but he didn't feel the need to actually use it until he was 10 feet away from crashing into the ground. To condense—none of the Weasleys trusted him with any Weasley Wizard's Wheezes products.
6. Teddy has been a prankster since he was four
Whenever Andromeda or Harry took him somewhere, whether it was a park or out shopping, the moment they took a few steps away from Teddy, he would completely change his appearance. His skin color, his hair, his height, his eyes, his limbs, everything. When the adult returned to him, they would have a heart attack when they realized they couldn't find him. Despite the scolding he would receive, multiple times, he would giggle for hours afterwards.
7. Teddy always called the Potter kids out on their bullshit
Whenever James and Al were fighting and blaming each other, he would set them straight. Forget about lying or cheating during a game, Teddy always seemed to catch them. It was that quality that really made the younger children look up to him, and see him as another sibling. Nevertheless, the blue haired boy always seemed to have a soft spot for the youngest Potter. He just could never bring himself to reprimand Lily; she was his Potter Princess.
8. Despite being nothing like him, everyone always compared Teddy to Remus.
It was extremely annoying, actually. No matter what he did, someone who knew his father (mainly teachers) would say either "You're father would do the same exact thing!" or "You're nothing like your father at all!" Why would they feel the need to compare them? Teddy wasn't his father. But the thing that bugged him most was that no one ever compared him to his mother. Well, excluding Andromeda, Harry and Ginny. But it was remarkable how much he was like his mother. He was clumsy, a metamorphmagus, and eager to help all the time. He even became an auror like she was. Still, the comparison never came.
9. He was terrified of owls
It was a bit unfortunate. When he was six, George Weasley's owl broke its wing during a journey and ended up flying directly into Teddy's face. He would make his friends attach and detach letters for him. And he never wanted to own one.
10. He owned five dogs.
The black poodle was Moony, the golden lab was Padfoot, the bulldog was Snuffles, the cockapoo was Prongs, and the pug was Tonks. His favorite part of coming home from Hogwarts was seeing his dogs again. He could never thank his grandmother enough for watching them while he was away. Although, Teddy always found it odd how Harry seemed to like all the dogs yet had a weird aversion to Snuffles.
