Hello!
Yes, this is my first Harry Potter Fic. PLEASE BE KIND!
I am fully aware that it isn't exactly cannon, please don't flame! I love teddy's storyline in the book, but this is just a bit of fun. This is just a story I kinda came up with, if people are interested enough, I'll continue. :)
Sorry in advance if any of the info is incorrect; it's been a while since I read the books. And as I said, it isn't exactly cannon. :/
So please read and review!

Prologue- Verity Lupin
Verity hesitated before she jumped down the last step of the staircase. She caught herself from her fall only to end up colliding with her brother. She cursed (mildly of course) as she hit the ground. Her brother rolled his eyes but reached out an arm and helped her up from the ground.
"Sorry, Ted. I wasn't looking where I was going." She giggled. "I'm starting to think that perhaps I'll never land up-right when I jump."
"I have an idea." Teddy teased. "How about you don't jump the last step and my carpet won't be ruined!"
"Oh, I could never do that." Verity laughed before walking into the kitchen. "I'm just kidding, Teddy."
Verity slumped onto her chair at the kitchen table, fixing her eyes on the plate of food in front of her, frowning slightly because Teddy usually waited for her to wake up before he made breakfast.
"Thanks for the breakfast, Teddy." She said in a frown.
When she heard no reply, she craned her neck only to find Teddy changing and playing with his hair as he intently watched himself in the reflection of the kitchen window. She giggled at him, causing a currently blue-haired Teddy to abruptly turn and observe her smirking expression.
"Are you going to hurry up?" He huffed, nodding at the plate of food in front of her.
"What's the rush?" Verity asked in a yawn. "I'm sorry, Teddy. I'm still a bit tired from the full moon a couple of days ago."
Teddy threw her a sympathetic glance. Verity raised her eyebrow as she waited for Teddy to tell her why he was so eager to rush off.
"I just…really want to get to Diagon Alley." Teddy told her nervously.
"I'm really tired." Verity sighed.
"I really want to get going, Ver. You have lots of books to buy. I can't believe you're already in fifth year! Besides, Harry and that will be meeting us there."
Teddy turned back to his reflection in the glass, squinting as he changed his hair-colour again.
"Is Victoire included in 'Harry and that'?" Verity teased.
"Hey, you can't tease me about that any more, I'm… I'm…" Teddy's voice drifted off
"You can tell me." Verity giggled as she watched him blush.
"I'm proposing to her." Teddy said quickly.
"Oh my goodness!" Verity squealed. "When? Where? How? I'm so happy for you!"
"Oh, Verity! Look at you; you're not even dressed yet!" Teddy groaned.
Verity looked down at her pyjamas. "Hey. Don't blame me, it's a Saturday… and the full moon was only two nights ago!"
"Verity." Teddy said sternly.
Verity rolled her eyes and pushed back in her chair. "I'm going, I'm going!"
She scampered up the stairs and pushed open the door leading to her bedroom. It was only a small room, but it was Teddy's house… and he was only 20 years old. Verity rummaged through her wardrobe in search of some of her muggle clothing. Soon found herself inspecting her appearance in the mirror. She watched as her hair-colour slowly changed to an aqua…. and then a purple… and then back to its normal pink. She rolled her eyes; she was just as bad as Teddy. Although, being like Teddy wasn't necessarily a bad thing… he was a caring brother.
Verity's parents were both dead. She had been born a couple of years after the war… for the first six years of her life, everything was great. But then there was the accident, the death of Remus and Dora Lupin. Teddy had never quite gone into details with her what had happened, but she had known it was an accident of sorts at the Ministry. Teddy and Verity had then gone to live with their Grandmother, Andromeda, for the following seven years. Then Teddy graduated from Hogwarts, was hired for a well-paid job, got his own place… it was only natural that Verity wanted to go with him… after all they'd been through. Although Ted had only been eighteen at the time, he'd been happy to take legal guardianship of his little sister. It wasn't that Verity hadn't loved her grandmother, she just felt like she couldn't be separated from her brother.
Verity rushed out of her room and down the stairs. She hesitated before jumping the last one. Perhaps one day, she'd believe in herself enough to land on both of her feet.
So what do you think? Please be kind! It's my first Harry Potter fic!
I'm not sure if I'm exactly happy with this story, so I may take it down in a couple of days. Can you do that? LOL… I'm still learning the ropes of FanFiction.
Anyways, thanks for reading :)
