Ten Things About The Next Generation
Teddy Lupin
1. Although he is thankful for his grandmother and Harry, he wishes that he had his parents instead. He knows they died so he could grow up in a world with Lord Voldemort (who sounds bad) but he wishes so much that they could have survived the war.
2. It bothers him a lot when his 'cousins' complain about their parents. They don't know just how lucky they really are to have them. He's heard Harry's children complain a number of times about their parents, and he wishes they could understand just how lucky they really are. The only person who really understands what it's like is Harry.
3. When he was younger, he pretended that Harry and Ginny were his parents. He never told anyone because he didn't want to hurt his grandmothers feelings, and he didn't want anyone to think less of him.
4. He never used to like Victoire Weasley. The two of them grew up together, they were the oldest out of the children, but at times she could be really annoying. It wasn't until he was about nine that he started to really respect their friendship, and start to really trust her. She lied for him when he could have gotten in a lot of trouble, and he would never forget that.
5. When he started Hogwarts he was really nervous. Not only because he was going to be away from home for the first time, but because everyone knew he's Harry's Godson. He was worried that people would ask questions, or only befriend him for that reason. There was also the fact that he is a Metamorphagus. What if people thought he was a freak?
6. He didn't find out until he was thirteen that his father was a werewolf. He isn't ashamed of it, but he is upset that no one thought to tell him about it. Did they really think that he couldn't handle it? He is very proud of both his parents, and he knows his dad was a good man. He isn't going to get upset over the fact that his father was a werewolf… not when Harry respected him so much.
7. He starts to think of Victoire as more than a friend when his in his fifth year, and she is in her third. However, he felt she was too young for him. He was also worried that it would wreck their friendship, so in order to get over her, he started to date other girls instead. It was easy enough. A lot of girls liked him.
8. He is ecstatic when he is made a prefect, and then Head Boy. Although he felt good when Harry, Grandmother Black, and Grandmother Weasley made a big deal out of it… he just wishes he could celebrate it with his parents instead. It does feel good to have a large family look up to him though. He knows a majority of the Weasley cousins think of him as a role model, especially James.
9. When Victoire throws herself at him New Years Eve, he is more than thrilled. He never thought that a girl like her would look at him. She is beautiful, popular and smart. She is also part Veela. He knew she had a lot of boys lining up to date her, and yet it was him she ended up choosing in the end. He is worried about what the family will say, so he keeps it secret… although he does eventually confide in Harry about it.
10. He wants to follow in Harry's footsteps as an Auror, but he decides to take another career path. He doesn't think that it's the work for him, even if he really does have a great deal of respect for his Godfather. Instead, he decides to work in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes as an Obliviator. In his spare time, he does research on the werewolf gene, and potions. He is hoping someday to come with a cure for werewolves.
A/N: Yes, I know there are a lot of these on here. I've been wanting to write one for a while though… the reason I didn't is because of the fact that there are a lot of these on here. However, I started writing a Next Gen story, and started to plot it out and decided I really wanted to write one of these. Everyone also has their own interpretations of the characters. These are mine. This goes with my new next Gen story. I have Lucy, Molly, Dominique and Roxanne as best friends in that story, so it will start with them. Lucy is the main character. This is going to spoil the story a lot, because I'm not just writing about their first year in here. However, not many people seem to be reading the other story anyways (no hits), so I figure no harm done. Also, this is kind of SU (Sober Universe) I've kept the names from the interviews that JK Rowling did, and used the family tree she provided. However, I decided to give Charlie Weasley children as well. They will also be in this. So if you've read the interviews, most of the names you will recognize but I'm putting in Charlie's children. I might also put in some of Lucy's friends. Keyword is might…. I want to do the actual new Weasley/Potter Generation, and of course Luna's children, and Neville's children.
