Hello, I'm new to writing Fanfiction but decided to give it ago. I'd appreciate reviews and by all means, throw in some plot ideas if you fancy!

Just as a warning, this is AU, in which Remus and Tonks survive the War. Also, there is Pottermore information and such on this so be warned if you haven't looked on Pottermore recently!

I don't own anything other that my own character in this fiction and the plot.

Enjoy!


"M-um! Everybody's staring at me now!"A young Teddy Lupin whined as his Mother pulled him to her with one arm around his shoulders as she kissed his cheek.

It was the first day of the young Metamorphmagus' life as a student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which resulted in him being stood on Platform 9¾.

Teddy was, in his opinion, suitably mortified by his Mother's over-zealous farewell. It was bad enough starting his education without knowing anyone else, without having all eyes on him. You see, Teddy's family were infamous amongst most of the wizarding population in the UK. There were many reasons for this, whether it be that his parents have an Order Of Merlin, First Class, each, alongside the knowledge that his Father, Remus Lupin, was the first werewolf to get the award and lift many a stigma attached to being labelled a werewolf. Or it may be the knowledge that his Mother was the Head of the Auror Department and could take down many a troll without much effort on her part.

"Dora, Sweetheart, I think Edward's had enough attention for the day, don't you?" Remus said softly, whilst chuckling.

Nymphadora promptly withdrew her arm from her son's shoulders and leant her head against the werewolf's chest.

"Mmm. It's just, it's both of you leaving for Hogwarts now, not just you for work..." she murmured, absent-mindedly playing with the tie around her Husband's neck.

Remus tilted his head down to observe his wife while pulling her into a firm embrace, "I'm not jumping on the train though, if you remember. I can't steal Edward's big day now can I?"

"Ehem, seeing as it's my big day, as you put it, Dad, can you two pack in the lovey-dovey nonsense, it's not making the attention go away, kinda' the opposite, really" Teddy shoved his hands into his pockets and started kicking a stone"

"Teddy darling, your hair's bright red, people will mistake you for a Weasley soon enough" Dora laughed.

"What?!" Teddy started fluffing his hair about with his hands. "That's your fault for embarrassing me"

The whistle of the train blew; the shrillness of the whistle prompted everyone on the platform to suddenly get into gear. The older students pushed past with broomsticks in hand to get the best seats on the train whilst the new comers all but flew off of the ground in shock and turned to grasp a concept of what was actually going on.

"Well, Son, that's your cue, best run before you end up in a dodgy carriage." Remus said as he placed a hand on Teddy's back to guide him to a quieter door onto the train.

"Yeah, erm, I guess I'll see you later then?" Teddy questioned apprehensively and then promptly threw his arms around his Father.

"I would certainly imagine so, unless, I am labouring under a misconception that you, too, are going to Hogwarts?"

"Hilarious, Dad" the young said, pulling his face from his father's jacket. "I think you'd best go help out Mum before she starts crying again"

"Good scheme" Remus nodded then proceeded to walk through the throngs of people in order to be next to his wife. Tonks was wringing her hands awkwardly by the time her husband had returned to her side.

"I don't know what's gotten into me, Remus, I don't know why I'm so emotional" she sniffed. Remus was, as usual, prepared for anything and pulled out a handkerchief from his inside pocket and waved it in front of Tonks' face, with his eyebrow raised and a cheeky grin slapped across his face. Tonks then placed her head on Remus' shoulder and accepted the handkerchief from him. Closing her eyes for a brief second, she tucked her arms inside Remus' jacket and hugged his waist firmly, sighing...

The Hogwarts Express's engine could be heard now, as the locomotive began to move. The blue haired boy had found himself an empty carriage in the middle of the train and threw himself into the corner seat nearest the window in order to wave his parents goodbye. After doing so, Teddy had pulled his knees up to his chest and had his head rested atop of them. About five minutes into the journey, the carriage door opened.

"Um. Hello, could I...I mean, if you aren't waiting for friends or anything, could I sit in here with you, only, I can't find anywhere else..." the person questioning Teddy had bright blue eyes, pale skin and dark brown hair that sat over his forehead and swept slightly to the right of his face.

The voice had taken Teddy by surprise. Swinging his legs and swivelling in his seat in order to place his feet on the ground, he replied with the most polite voice he could attempt, "sure, I'm on my own too, so there's load of room in here", smiled toward the boy who's head was poking into his carriage.

The boy sat across from Edward and let out a breath "cheers, I thought I might have had to sit in the same carriage as the numpty's down the other end of here, I mean, I thought it would be a small amount of people going to Hogwarts this year...Oh! I'm Kevin, Kevin Thornton." The boy seemed to be attempting to create a record for the most things to say without taking a breath.

"I'm Edward Lupin, I prefer Teddy though to be honest...Why would it be a small amount of people this year?" Teddy questioned.

Kevin replied, "Well, not many people had kids during the War, did they? They were a tad pre-occupied. Mind-you, people celebrate in different ways, don't they? You never know, I bet half of us first years are the product of post-war celebrations, if you know what I mean?" Kevin said suggestively, wiggling his eye-brows.

This remark had Teddy laughing, despite himself, "maybe" he said through his laughter. The laughter died down and the two boys stared out of the window for a short while before Kevin broke the silence.

"Hang about! You said Lupin! Your Dad teaches here and your Mum is the Head of Aurors!" Kevin jabbed his finger through the air at Teddy, almost accusingly.

"Yup. That'd be my parents, last time I checked anyway..." Teddy could feel his face reddening and thought he was about to lose his company.

"Whoa, they're so cool, It must be bloody brilliant have war-heroes as parents. I bet your Dad's super cool, that's what the older kids were saying; they think he's the best teacher going!" Kevin rushed to sing their praises.

"Really? Well, yeah I guess they're cool..." Teddy pondered no werewolf comment so far, not bad.
