A/N: A new story! I would like to thank those who have continually reviewed my other stories such as There Goes My Life, If He Knew, and What's Left of Me. Thank you so much for all the support. I owe so much to you guys, the reviewers.

I really need all the feedback I can get for this because this is the first story that I would be focusing on Teddy Lupin instead of the main Harry Potter characters. Criticism is appreciated, because I really take it as a compliment when you do, but please, no spamming. Thanks.

This story is inspired by a friend of mine, RJ, I dedicate this to him.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own HP.

"One, two, fwee…"

"Three, Teddy, three," corrected his grandmother, Andromeda Tonks. Four-year-old Teddy Lupin looked at her with a pained face. He hated studying numbers. Andromeda sighed. "Don't give me that look, Teddy. You must learn how to count no matter how much you hate it. Bear with me, please," she said exasperatedly.

Teddy furiously shook his head, though he knew his grandmother would refuse to stop unless he pronounced the word three correctly. They had been sitting in the living room for over an hour because of the counting.

"Teddy don't want to count anymore," complained Teddy. He turned his back on his grandmother. "Teddy want to play now. Teddy want to go outside to play."

Andromeda shook her head and leaned back on the couch. "When will you ever learn how to count if you are this stubborn, Teddy?" she asked. Teddy didn't reply. Andromeda looked at him closely. Teddy seemed to be looking at something. She followed his sight and her eyes landed on a picture of Remus and Nymphadora that hung on the wall. "Oh Teddy…"

Teddy held out his hands. He seemed to understand that his parents were gone, nonetheless he was a child. His grandmother told him many kinds of stories about his mother. Teddy enjoyed it most when she explained how Nymphadora could change her hair.

Andromeda took Teddy from the floor and placed him on her lap. Teddy didn't say anything. He simply kept staring at the pictures. His parents happily waved back at him. Andromeda tried not to show Teddy the sadness and pity on her face. Teddy was just so young…

"Gwanma, can Teddy hear another story about Mummy?" asked Teddy. Andromeda looked at him. Teddy looked back at her with puppy dog eyes. "Teddy wants to hear how Mummy changes the color of her hair again," he said.

Andromeda couldn't refuse. She retold the story and watch Teddy's eyes glisten with pride knowing what his mother could do. Teddy clapped at the end of the story, like he always does. Andromeda looked at him for a moment before pulling the little boy into a tight hug.

"Teddy, please pick up your toys," said Andromeda when she saw Teddy's toys all over the place. "Ted Lupin!" she called again when he didn't respond to her first calling.

Teddy peeked from behind the wall. "Teddy's tired," he said. Andromeda gave him a stern look. Teddy had no other choice but to do as he was told. "Teddy's really tired," he said as he shoved his toys to one corner of the room.

Andromeda watched him. Teddy has always been a pretty obedient boy and never gave her much trouble, except for counting, that is. He could by hyperactive at times, but that was all too normal for a three-year-old boy like him. He's usually cheerful and vibrant, especially when his godfather, Harry Potter, comes to visit him.

"Teddy's done," Teddy announced. Andromeda looked at the pile of toys Teddy had stacked a lot of toys to one corner. She shook her head, but she was smiling. Teddy ran off out of the living room before his grandmother could give him even more things to do, which he didn't really enjoy but does not really detest any of it.

While Andromeda prepared lunch, Teddy played outside in the garden. He chased butterflies around. Andromeda watched him from the kitchen. His laughter always seemed so innocent and care-free. She couldn't even bring herself to scold him every time he comes in dirty all over. He just looks so happy that she couldn't bear make him frown.

"Teddy, come in and have lunch," said Andromeda. Teddy turned and ran to her. Andromeda caught him before he tripped over the stepping stone. "Careful now, we don't want you having another scab on your knee," she said as she carried him to his chair. Andromeda wiped his dirty face before allowing him to eat lunch.

Andromeda watched as Teddy ate his lunch. Teddy ate well by himself, although a little messy. It's perfectly understandable for a toddler. Teddy jumped off his seat and went back outside. Andromeda smiled and made a sandwich for herself to eat.

"One, two, fwee! One, two, fwee! One, two, fwee!" Teddy counted as he jumped around the garden. He couldn't seemed to get the 'th' right as his grandmother wanted him too. "One, two, fwee! One, two, fwee!" He jumped around more times when he realized he couldn't really say the word properly. His tongue didn't seem to want to agree with what he wanted to say.

Teddy sat on the grass tiredly. He looked at the sky above him. Birds flew about his head and he tried to reach for them. He laughed as they flew pass him. He loved anything that could soar into the sky. He loves to fly.

"Time for your nap, Teddy," Andromeda said. Teddy turned. He knew he couldn't refuse a nap even if he wanted to. Andromeda walked towards Teddy and carried him in her arms. "You're a little stubborn today, aren't you? There's no excuse for you not to take a nap." She carried him off to his room.

A/N: I know the chapter is a little short, but please review after you read so I have an idea if this is going on well or not. Like I said, it's kind of like an experiment since I've never really written a fanfiction about Teddy Lupin and it would help a lot if you guys said what you thought of it. Hope you review and see you at the next chapter.
