Chapter 1: Hogwarts Express
Edward Remus Lupin was sleeping in his bed at 12 Grimmauld Place. That was the room Harry and Ron slept in when they stay in 12 Grimmauld Place during the war. Harry decided to give Andromeda all the heritage from Sirius because he wasn't needed it and he knew that if Sirius was still alive, he would use all his money to help raise Teddy.
Besides that, after the war Harry found out that there is a Potter mansion and he inherited it, so he and Ginny move to there after she finished Hogwarts. Andromeda moved in with Teddy to 12 Grimmauld Place because she couldn't stay in her old house, she had there to many painful memories from Ted, Nymphadora and even Remus.
Before Andromeda and Teddy moved to 12 Grimmauld Place everyone helped her to reorganize the house, so it won't be that scary. All the creepy things were thrown out, Walburga Black portrait was silenced and covered in a sheet, the house-elf heads got off the wall and packed in a box (Kreacher didn't allow them to throw the heads of his ancestors) and the house was repainted in lighter colours.
"Teddy it's time to get up, you don't want to miss the train, right?" Teddy immediately jump out of bed. "Of course, not grandma, it will be a disaster if I if I'm late for my first day in Hogwarts!"
Teddy looked at his wall clock, the hands were on nine o'clock. "Grandma why didn't you wake me up earlier!?" His grandmother smiled at him. "Because I assume you didn't fall asleep from excitement, and I thought I should let you sleep before you go to Hogwarts."
Teddy smiled. "You're right. Thanks grandma." Andromeda went to the door. "you should dress and check that everything is organized for today." She said before she left the room.
Teddy wore his muggle clothes, black T-shirt and jeans and checked his trunk. Than he took his wand from his desk and put it in his pocket. He looked at his parents' picture, they waved to him. "Mom, dad I hope you will be proud of me." He said to them and left his room.
Downstairs in the kitchen all the Weasleys and Potters were. Molly made pancakes while Kreacher tried to get her out from the cooking area and do everything by himself. After the war, Harry allowed Kreacher to stay in 12 Grimmauld Place. At some point after Andromeda and Teddy moved there Kreacher started to do the housework even without Harry and Andromeda asked him to do them. That because Kreacher understood that Andromeda is the best master he could get, she is a Black unlike Harry and she really nice to him unlike Sirius, and since Kreacher understands that he starts listen to andromeda and do what she says.
Arthur sat at the table and read the Daily Prophet, Harry sat near him and listened to Angelina telling Ginny about her last quidditch game in the Ballycastle Bats for an interview to the evening edition of the Daily Prophet.
Percy and Audrey drank tea at the end of the table while Charlie tried to convince them to add dragon milk he brought from Romania to their tea, obviously they refused.
Fleur maid a braid to her daughter, Victoire while she and Molly II read 'A Guide to Medieval Sorcery'.
George was laughing from Dominique, Lucy, Fred and James who played with faked moustaches from his shop.
Bill and Ron sat on the floor and played with the younger kids: Louis, Roxanne, Rose and Albus. They played in Aviatomobiles, the flying car toy from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
Hermione read a book to the toddlers, Lily and Hugo, while they sat in their baby chairs laughing and making noises.
Andromeda entered the kitchen to the sound of talk and laughter. There was never silence with these family, and of course Andromeda knew that so she used quietening charm on the door, so Teddy will be surprise when will finds out everyone here.
"Teddy starts Hogwarts is the article in the section of our family in the Daily Prophet" Arthur said with a sigh.
"Well that not surprising" Andromeda said and went close to Arthur so she could read the article too.
At this moment one of the Aviatomobiles flew to the direction of the kitchen's door. Bill noticed it immediately and yelled "Immobulus". The Aviatomobile froze in the air in the moment Teddy opened the kitchen's door.
"Well that a nice reception." Teddy said with laugh and grabbed the Aviatomobile. "What all of you are doing here?" He asked and changed his hair colour to red.
"We wanted to surprise you and come to say goodbye to you here so there will not be a crowd around us and you on the platform" Harry said with smile to his godson.
"That a nice thought but I don't care about it you all coming with me to the train. I don't care if all of the kids knew that I'm part of the most famous family. Besides, there is probably a full article on me starting Hogwarts today in the family section, isn't it right?" Teddy said and put down the Aviatomobile on the floor where the kids played with it.
All the four young kids jump on his legs. Louis and Roxanne on the right, and Rose and Albus on the left.
"Yay we are going to the platform!" James called and raised his hand to high five to Fred. "that going to be so cool to run through the wall!" Fred said while he returned the high five.
"Ooh I can't wait for it" Dominique said in excitement. "yeah me too!" Lucy agreed.
Victoire and Molly II closed the book. They looked at Teddy who smiled to them. How much the kids are fun what he really loves to do is be with Victoire and Molly II. They were the closets to his age and he could be serious with them.
Only then Teddy saw the pancakes on the table. He looked at the kids that hanged on his legs with a big smile. "Don't you want pancakes?" He asked them. The four kids immediately leave his legs and run to the table.
Victoire and Molly II walked to Teddy. "Are you sure you want the kids to come?" Victoire asked Teddy. "I want you both to come and that mean the kids also have to come." Teddy answered to his best friend. "that nice of you" Molly II said.
Teddy went to the table and sat down. Victoire immediately take the seat near him. "Your braid is beautiful" He said to her with his charming smile. "Thanks" she answered.
All the family walked in the streets of London. Molly and Arthur at first then most of the kids running and laughing. After them the rest of the adults and finally Teddy, Victoire and Molly II. Even thought they were in the muggles world they still got a lot of looks to their direction. Not every day you see so many red heads in the same place.
"I'm glad you want us to come with you, now we can have more time together." Victoire said to Teddy who played with his trunk like it's a ball. His grandmother shrunk the trunk earlier so he wouldn't have to drag her all over London.
"Of course, I want you to come so will be more together. The thing I love the most is be with my best friends" Teddy said, smiling. Molly II looked at him. "Yes, Molls you too, you both are my best friends." Molly II blushed "Thanks" she said quietly.
Molly II has always been the quite girl. She was with Teddy and Victoire all the time but she gave them space to be together only the both of them. She didn't want to intervene to them in the conversations so she was just been with them quietly, but Teddy and Victoire always make sure to include her in what they do.
Victoire looked at Teddy's shrunken trunk. "Your trunk will get messy" Victoire said to her best friend. "No, she doesn't. Don't worry" Teddy answered to her with a smile and throw the trunk on more time in the air.
Victoire and Molly looked at each other and rolled their eyes. "So, what will you do after I go to Hogwarts? How you are going to spend all this time without me?"
"We will start looking for more books about wars" Victoire said smiling like it is something completely normal to say. Except for Victoire it is normal. She was born in May 2nd, the date the second wizarding war ended, and after she understood what so special in this date, she became interested in wars and history. Since she learned how to read, she reading books about wars and history.
"Yes, but for now we reading the book 'A Guide to Medieval History' which is about witchcraft in the middle age. So, first we need to finish that book, and then it is my turn to choose the book we are going to read" Molly II said.
"Well that a relief. I thought Victoire made you love wars either" Teddy said and sight with relief. Victoire rolled her eyes and chuckled. "No, I'm staying with biography books." Molly II said seriously.
"It so weird that girls under the age of ten loves books about history and biography" Teddy teased his best friends. Both of the girls glared at him. "I'm kidding, stop staring at me, I'm really love the fact that you two are bookworms." He smiled to the girls.
"I'm going to miss your dramatizing of the books, just to read them going to be a bit bored now" Molly II sight. "Yeah it's always was fun that me and molls read the books and you played the characters and changed your look to them." Victoire said to Teddy. "I'm going to miss that too…" he said.
They walked quietly for couple of minutes. "So, Molls what book you will choose next?" Teddy broke the silence. "I do a favour to Victoire and I will choose biography book who also talk about history."
"You are really going to do this? So, what is the book?" Victoire asked with shine in her eyes. Molly II chuckled. "I'm going to choose the book 'Marvolo: The Truth', biography and history, it's going to be amazing book for both of us." Molly II said with satisfaction. "Nice choice it sounds really interesting book." Victoire said and hugged Molly II.
"Teddy we here." His grandmother called suddenly. "Oops I haven't notice that we here." Teddy said embarrassed. "we decided you should go first" Harry said and showed Teddy where the wall that lead to the platform.
Teddy looked at the girls. "You want to join me and get inside with me?" He asked them with a smile and held out his hand. "Nah I pass you two go together." Molly II said with a smile. One of the reasons she always gave Teddy and Victoire space it's because that was clear to her, that they will be together at some day, so she let them to have their moments.
Victoire knew Teddy the best so she knew that behind that smile he is a little afraid. She grabbed his hand without hesitation, "of course I'll join you." She said smiling.
James saw that and yelled "I want to go with Teddy on the platform!" James started to run to Teddy and Victoire but they already run throughout the wall and disappeared.
"wow we are finally on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters" Teddy said and looked around. "This is so amazing" Victoire said and noticed they still holding hands. She let go of her hand and they both blushed.
Immediately after all the family was on the platform people start staring and whispering. Something they all knew will happened.
"So, it is time you start your Hogwarts experience. Write me after the sorting please." Andromeda said and growth the trunk to her normal size. She hugged her grandson. "I'm sure your parents are proud of you." She muttered in his ear. Big smile covered Teddy face.
"NO!" multiple calls were heard from all the kids and they jumped on Teddy right after andromeda leave him. Teddy fell on the floor while the kids hugged him.
"kids please get down from Teddy" Harry called. The kids slowly back away. Harry helped Teddy get up. "You are start the best journey that wizard or witch have in life. Use every moment and have fun." Harry said and hugged his godson.
Teddy went to where Victoire stands. "I will write to you I promise." He said to her. "of course you do, now you better get on the train and meet new friends." She said and smile a little. "You know you always be my best friend no one going to replace you." Teddy said to cheer Victoire and he hugged her. They both blushed. "Thanks, that nice of you." She whispered in his ear.
Molly II was near them and smiled to herself. After Teddy released the hug she said, "bye Teddy." Teddy turned to her. "Bye molls" he answered to her.
Teddy took his trunk and dragged it to the train. He turned to his family. "bye everyone I will miss you all" he said and get on the train.
"If you are bored or miss us you can come to our shop." George yelled to Teddy before the doors of the train closed.
"George don't give him ideas!" Molly and Andromeda said together.
Teddy looked for compartment to sit. Most of the compartments were occupied. Teddy knew that everyone would want to sit with him if they knew that Harry Potter is his godfather but he didn't want to use this to meet other kids.
After a while he found compartment with one boy who looked he was first year like him. The boy was blonde with green eyes. He looked a little scared.
Teddy decided to get inside this compartment. "Hey can I sit with you?" Teddy asked the boy.
"Yes, of course! My name is Leopold Colten, but please call me Leo." The blonde boy said and held out his hand. It was clear he was really glad to meet someone.
Teddy smiled, "I'm Edward Lupin but everyone calls me Teddy." Teddy said and shook Leo's hand.
"So, you exciting to go to Hogwarts?" Teddy asked Leo. "Yes" Leo muttered, not sounds excited at all.
"You are not sounding exciting." Teddy said. "Yeah well I'm a little bit nervous. I'm what it's called? Muggle born? And I don't know everything about Hogwarts I even don't know how it's feels to wearing a robe!" Leo said clearly nervous.
"So why don't we wear the robes so you could start to get use to them?" Teddy asked trying to calm him down with the first idea he had.
"Okay" Leo said with a small smile. The boys wore their robes. "So how it's feels to wear robes?" Teddy asked after they finished arranging their robes.
"It's weird. You wore robes a lot before Hogwarts?" Leo asked Teddy. "Not so much, because I live in London every time I left my house I had to wear muggle clothes" Teddy answered.
Just then the train start to move. "well we finally starting our Hogwarts journey." Teddy said and looked outside the window to see the train living the station.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Yes, you can come in." Teddy said even and start to looking for money. He didn't understand why the trolley witch come right away but he didn't going to say no for sweets.
In the door there was young witch with black bob hairstyle and brown eyes. She looked like she is about to start her first year and she already wore her Hogwarts robe. Her trunk was with her. On her trunk there was a cage with Siamese cat.
"May I sit with you? The train start moving and I didn't find a place to seat yet." The girl said to the boys.
"Yes, of course. Get inside" Leo answered, it was the second time in the last couple of minutes that someone wanted to sit with him in the compartment and it's made him really happy.
"Thanks. I'm Aria Davies, what's your names?" she asked the boys after she sat down near Leo.
"I'm Teddy and this is Leo." Teddy answered fast for both of them so he could avoid from saying his last name.
"it's nice to meet you boys." Aria said and smiled. She opened her cat's cage and it's jumped on her knees. "Her name is Eclipse." She said and petted the cat.
"So, what are your hobbies, there are special things kids in the magical world do?" Leo asked his compartment partners.
"I love to play wizard's chess." Aria answered. "Does wizard's chess is different from muggles chess?" Leo asked. "Not the rules, but the pieces move by themselves after you tell them where to move." Teddy answered to Leo. "Wow that sounds cool." Leo said.
"Do you want to play with me? I have here chessboard and pieces." Aria said to Leo.
"Yes, I do I'm pretty fond of chess even thought I'm not very good." Leo answered.
"So, Teddy what you love to do?" Aria asked while she looked her chessboard in her trunk.
"I love to play and mimic people." Teddy answered to her question. "what magical in that?" Leo asked. "Not everything we do have to be magical" Teddy laughed.
"There are lessons of performing arts in Hogwarts? Because I really love to sing and I love to continue do it." Leo said while he and Aria started to organize the pieces on the board.
"You could go to the Frog Choir if you want to sing and there are music lessons from the third year. Pawn to B4." Aria answered and started the game.
"So, I just said to the pawn where to go and he will move to there?" Leo asked to be certain. "Yes exactly." Aria answered. "Okay so pawn to B5." Leo said and watched in wonder at the pawn while he moved.
Teddy looked at his new friends played chess. It was really interesting. He didn't care to sit aside, he gets used to it from Victoire and Molly II when they read books, and he didn't want to play the stories.
"Knight to C3." Aria called. "Knight to F6." Leo played his move. "You know mimic my moves not going to help you win Leo. Knight to B5!" Aria said. The knight smashed the pawn. "Wow they actually smashed the pieces? That incredible they can do that" Leo said in shock.
Teddy and Aria laughed from his comment and Leo smiled and laughed too.
In the middle of the game when Aria clearly was about to win the trolley witch come to their compartment. "Anything off the trolley, dears?"
"Yes, I will take three Chocolate frogs, Cauldron Cake and Liquorice Wands." Teddy said and paid. "For me two Chocolate frogs, Pumpkin Pasty and Jelly Slugs." Aria asked and took her sweets after she paid.
"Checkmate. Leo you don't want anything to eat?" Aria said to a surprise Leo who was shocked from Aria's win.
"Well I'm a bit hungry but I don't know these sweets at all and I'm not sure I love them, and nice game you are really good." Leo said.
"Thanks, and you can eat some of my sweets I don't care" Aria said and handed him a Jelly Slug.
"Yummy, they are like Gummy Worms." Leo said after he tasted the Jelly Slug. "Here take a Liquorice Wand." Teddy said and hand over the sweet to Leo.
"So, Aria what cards did you got? I've got Dumbledore, Helga Hufflepuff and Elladora Ketteridge." Teddy said and put the cards on the small table. "I've got Rowena Ravenclaw and Uric the Oddball. Two Ravenclaws, maybe that means I'm going to be a Ravenclaw." Aria said with a chuckle.
"Do you want to be in Ravenclaw?" Teddy asked her. "Yes, I do most of my family was in Ravenclaw." She said with a smile.
"Hold on, what are these cards in the first place?" Leo asked his friends.
"Well, it's a collecting and trading cards of famous wizards and witches. You can take mine and start your own collection I have all of these cards already." Teddy explained to Leo and gave him his three cards.
"You can take my cards too." Aria said and handed Leo her cards.
"Wow thanks you. You are good friends and we barely knew each other." Leo said with big smile to Teddy and Aria.
Just then the compartment door opened. In the entrance there were two boys and a girl.
"So, the Daily Prophet was right. Harry Potter's godson really starting Hogwarts today." One of the boys said.
Teddy sighed, he knew it's would come at some point. "So, how it is to be in the most famous family in the wizarding world?" The girl said mockingly.
"You are from a famous family? And who is Harry Potter?" Leo asked, not understanding what's going on.
"You can't be on the train couple pf hours without meeting a muggle-born Lupin?" The other boy asked.
Teddy and Aria shared a look. These kids were clearly from a pure blood family. "Well he is raised by blood traitors what you expected?" The first boy said.
"Hey what's going on here?" Someone said. According to his badge he was a prefect from Ravenclaw.
The three kids just go away without answering. "You guys are okay?" He asked them. When Eclipse saw him, she jumped on him.
"Yes, we are fine, thanks Taylor." Aria said. "You guys know each other?" Teddy asked.
"Yes, of course. Teddy, Leo meet my big brother Taylor." Aria said and gestured to her brother. "Hey nice to meet you." Taylor said and petted Eclipse.
"I wanted to see how you got along and if you find friends, and it's nice to see you did." Taylor smiled and picked up Eclipse.
"what just happened?" Leo finally talked. "Well these were just some annoying kids just ignore them." Aria said.
"I'm sorry for not telling you who my family is I just wanted to meet friends who want to talk to me because who I am and not because I'm Harry Potter's godson." Teddy said in low voice and look at the floor.
"That okay I actually knew from the first moment who you are. Our father is the head of the Improper Use of Magic Office and I think I saw you once at the ministry when I visited my dad." Aria said, smiling.
"Thanks for not mentioned it." Teddy said and smiled. "Your welcome I'm sure it's not that easy to be his godson." Aria said. "No, it's not." Teddy answered to her.
"Do you mind tell me who is Harry potter?!" Leo asked pretty loud. He looked offended.
"We are sorry Leo. Harry Potter is the greatest wizard in history and he is Teddy's godfather." Aria answered.
"Not in the whole history." Teddy said and blushed a little bit.
"Well that was an interesting conversation but you should be ready to live the train we arrive to Hogwarts in a few minutes." Taylor said and put Eclipse in her cage.
"We will be reaching to Hogwarts in five minutes. Please live your luggage on the train, it will be taken to the school separately." A voiced echoed through the entire train.
"I should get back to the prefects, bye." Taylor said and walked away.
Aria get back her chess to the trunk and Teddy collected his sweets. After five minutes the train stopped.
"Well let's get down from the train." Teddy said and the three kids get off the train to start their Hogwarts journey.
author note: Taylor and Aria are the kids of Chester Davies from Hogwarts Mystery. I thought it'll be nice to do kids to some of the characters from there, and that make sense chronologically.
