'Teddy' … Chapter 1 - Remus

I can't believe it!' thought Teddy Lupin as he stood on platform 9 3/4 snogging the hottest girl in school, Victoire Weasley. It felt like nothing he had done before as she kissed him and he kissed her back. It was the best sensation ever, yet he could feel something wasn't right...

"James!" said Teddy angrily, breaking the contact between their lips. Victoire spun around. James Sirius Potter was Victoire's cousin and Teddy had known him since he was born.

Leaving Victoire's side he hissed, "Go away!" to James who didn't seem in any hurry to leave. James started to giggle and hurried off down the station, swerving in and out of all the students ready to depart to Hogwarts.

"I could kill him sometimes," said Teddy looking back at Victoire who, he was surprised to see was laughing.

"What?" asked Teddy in bewilderment.

"Nothing," she replied stifling a laugh. "We should probably get on the train."

She grabbed his hand and jumped onto the train just as a whistle blew in the distance. As he jumped, he caught he reflection in the glass and realised why she had been laughing, his hair had turned a violent shade of red.

On the train, they split their separate ways, Victoire joined her sixth year friends in a compartment at the front of the train, and Teddy, joining his friends in another.

"Last year then," said Dewey Stuarts as Teddy and the others hauled their trunks onto the luggage rack above them.

"Yeh! It's funny how time flies when your having fun, isn't it Teddy?" said Mark sarcastically. All the others giggled behind their hands.

"What have i done?" he asked, already knowing the answer.

"We didn't mean to, we were just, sort of... there..." Dora said apologetically. Teddy felt the blood rushing to his cheeks, making them burn with heat.

"We saw you snogging Victoire! There. Happy now?" said Dewey very confidently. He felt his cheeks get even redder as he said "Oh... that," pretending he didn't know this was coming. Not them as well!

"Well... was it good?" said Charlie.

"How did it happen?"

"Who else saw you?"

His ears perked up at this question and found reason to become his normal, funny self.

"Oh yeh... That was the worst bit... James saw me. You know, James Potter, my sort of brother."

Charlie burst out laughing.

"It wasn't funny, I think he told my godfather..." he said guiltily. They all laughed at this and spent the rest of the journey eating sweets off the trolley and playing games of exploding snap!
