Teddy Remus Lupin and Evie Jean Granger sat in the living room of Grimmauld Place, reading their potions book for their sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Their concentration was only broken when a giggling James Sirius Potter ran through the room, clutching a shingling necklace in his hands. Evie and Teddy shared a look before both putting their books down and went after the toddler, to see what mischief he was up to now.
"James?" Evie called out "Where are you buddy?"
"In 'ere!" The voice responded.
Teddy took the lead into the kitchen and knelt before the little boy. "Whatcha got there James?"
"Aunt Mione's neckalce," the boy said proudly.
Evie glanced at Teddy. Just because the little tyke was named after two of the most reckless Marauders, didn't give him the right to be so -well- reckless; but no one told James that.
Crouching down to the dark haired boy, she handed out her hand "May I see?"
James held it out proudly. Evie's heart stopped. Teddy's hair shot to an alarming white. It was Hermione's Time Turner.
"James, give me that now," Evie demanded.
"No!" the toddler pouted and began fiddling with the nobs on the necklace.
"James Sirius Potter! Hand that to me now!" Teddy growled knowing the dangers of time travel, especially for the little boy of four.
The poor boy looked like he was about to cry. The two older children grabbed the necklace at the same time, causing the raven haired tyke to drop it.
"Ja-" Evie started but was cut off when
the sand started spinning and the room went white in a flash. When the light subsided, one James Potter was left to stare at the spot where his two cousins once stood.
In 12 Grimmauld Place there was one very important meeting going on. For one Order of the Phoenix. A flash of bright light disrupted the leader's speech.
No quicker than a blink, all of the members stood with their wands drawn and pointed at the outburst of magic.
"Jammmmmy Dodger, anyone?" the feminine voice spoke out before try actually saw her. She pulled out a bag and glanced around offering it to anyone. "No? Okay, your loss!"
The white haired boy stared at her quizzically.
Teddy looked at Evie quizzically as if to say: Jammy Dodgers. Really? Are you serious?
Evie gave him a pointed look that said it was the most explainable thing in the world.
"Who are you?" A grizzly voice spoke, startling the two time travelers.
A bashful Teddy resulted in a head of bright red colored hair, which caused a Nymphadora Tonks to gasp, as Evie just turned and smiled at the one and only Mad-Eye Moody. Her mother told her stories when she was a little kid about the fierce Auror. "All I can say is I am Evie and this is my friend Teddy. Sorry to say the rest is strictly classified, sir,"
"Classified? " Mad-Eye barked "Says who!"
"Me!" Evie retorted.
Most members seemed impressed about her standing off with the Auror and sat down.
"How do we know ye ain't a Death Eater?" Moody growled.
"We aren't," she said, using a tone that called out his bad grammar. She pulled her sleeve up showing them her bare forearm, Teddy did the same.
"Your a metamorphmagus!" Tonks blurted out, clapping her hands over her mouth, clearly interrupting Mad-Eye's little interrogation.
Teddy looked at the pink haired witch and the color drained out of his face, his hair turning to the turquoise he favored most. His eyes darted to the man who was seated next to him. Mum he thought Dad.
He gasped and Evie glanced at him and cursed softly. "Excuse us for a moment!" She said gently and pushed Teddy into the living room.
They quickly glanced at the old armchairs they sat in just minutes before. Well, the chairs they sat in multiple years in the future. This time traveling thing was confusing.
Evie turned to Teddy and gently spoke "Teddy you can't. I am so, so sorry but you can't! The rules of time remember? Mum taught us those!"
"But they are my parents! My parents Eve!" His voice broke and tears started to fall. "I barely remember them! Then here they are, sitting right in front of me! Mum and Dad!"
Evie sighed and quickly hugged him. She held him back at arms length and glared at him softly, "I know Ted, I know! But we can't tell them anything! I know it's tough. There is my Mum- wait there's just mum, where do you suppose Dad is?" Her brows furrowed, not recalling on seeing her dad.
"I guess he is using the loo. And I know you're right," he sighed "Its just going to be so hard,"
"Come on let's get back. Before they thin we were planing to blow this place up or something,"
He smiled and they turned back to head to the kitchen.
Once the strange couple left the kitchen broke into a clammer.
"Who were they?"
"How'd they get in?!"
"You said it was protected Dumbledore!"
"She looks like you, Hermione!"
They all nodded in agreement at that last comment. She in fact did look almost exactly like their Mione only except this mysterious girl had black hair and grey eyes.
The Order quieted down as Teddy and Evie walked back in.
"'Lo again! Sorry about that just had to talk real quick!" Evie said flashing a smile that seemed all to familiar.
"Anyway, sorry about that miss! You just reminded me of someone! And to answer your question, yes I am a metamorphmagus. My mum was one," Teddy said brightly.
"Blimey! That's cool! I knew metamorphmaguses were rare, never thought I bump into one! Any way the name is Tonks!" She said bubbly.
Teddy couldn't have smiled any wider or his face would of split. "The name is Teddy, well ,you already knew that 'cause of my friend here!"
"All right enough of this cozy catch up!" Mad-Eye snapped "Dumbledore has somthin' to say!"
All eyes turned to the headmaster as he spoke "Hello Miss Evie and Mister Teddy. Your arrival ,which you saw, was not expected,"
Mad- Eye snorted and rolled his eyes.
Taking a quick glance at Mad-Eye, he continued "I am Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,"
"Hello sir, nice to meet you!" Teddy said cheerfully, as Evie's eyes skirted around the room searching for her father.
The rest of the room went around introducing themselves:
Professor McGonagall (Hello dears)
Dedalus Diggle (Nice to meet you!)
Elphias Dodge, Mundungus Fletcher
Hestia Jones (Very glad to see you!)
Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks (Don't call me Nymphadora! Just Tonks, it's just Tonks)
Professor Snape, Harry Potter. Ron, Molly, Arthur, Bill, Fred and George Weasley. Hermione Granger and Alastor Moody.
Everyone was smiling and Teddy couldn't take his eyes off his parents. Evie would of warned him to stop before it became creepy, but she had a very important question weighing on her mind.
"Um excuse me? Its very nice to meet all of you but, isn't there a Sirius Black here?" Evie spoke softly.
All soft chatter was stopped and they all looked at her in shock. Grief filled the eyes of many around the table. they all stared at her in silence before Evie spoke again "What is not here or something?"
"No love," Tonks sighed "He isn't. He is gone."
"What do you mean gone? When will he be back?"
"Love, he won't be coming back. He is dead,"
What no?! This cannot be happening! No no no no! Evie thought He can't be!
The color drained out of her face and her eyes flew to her mother. No!
Evie slid on the floor, which hurt but it didn't cross her mind, she quickly tapped three times in a quick precession on her mother stomach. A transparent fuzzy liquid came out from the tip of her wand. What ever hope Evie had in her face was crushed.
Scrambling backwards she whispered over and over "No,"
No one knew what she meant. They were all still staring at her in shock.
She stood up and bolted out of the kitchen, to the only place she felt safe.
"EVIE!" Teddy raced after her.
Teddy found her in the library, cuddling her knees in front of the fire.
"Hey Evie?" He spoke softly "What's wrong?"
She jumped and wiped away the tears from her eyes.
"He can't be! He- he can't be dead!" Evie sobbed.
"I know it's tough," Teddy tried to soothe her, but failed.
"No Teds you don't! Sirius Black ,my father, is dead!"
"But love, he is -"
"Dead in our time! Yes I know!" Evie snapped "But in our time, he died at the final battle at Hogwarts!"
"What did you do to your mum?" Teddy asked.
"I checked if she was pregnant! She isn't Teddy!"
He just stared at her, the truth of the situation sinking in.
"My mother isn't pregnant! My father is dead! I don't exist!"
