Dozens of people were at Platform 9 3/4, to Teddy's grimace, although he was far from surprised considering everyone was arriving at Hogwarts. His godfather thankfully had put a glamour on himself, so he wouldn't be recognized at Harry Potter, the wizarding world's savior. Today, Teddy had chosen to have tawny hair and amber eyes, resembling his father, hoping it would give him courage to get onto the train and not stick out like a sore thumb with his usual bright blue hair.

Today was the day that his life started and he would go off to Hogwarts, the place where his father had his greatest memories and darkest moments, including his own death alongside his mother. Teddy felt excited and and sickened at the same time, not used the large abundance of people in the station, who bumped into him from all sides, paying little attention to the small boy.

"You'll be fine Teddy," Harry whispered into his ear, a hand tight on his godson's shoulder, feeling tension between the blades"some of the best years of my life were spent at Hogwarts, with some of the best people, like your father."

"But what if no one likes me," the young Lupin asked, "and everyone thinks I'm a freak."

Worse thoughts enraptured his mind, but he chose not to voice those thoughts.

"You know thats not true chap," Harry replied, "there will be plenty of people who are excited you're coming to Hogwarts. Take Uncle Neville for example, he probably wouldn't have even taken the job for the herbology professor if it wasn't for you."

"I meant students," Teddy explained.

Harry met his godson's gaze, who stared wearily back at him, his eyes darting at all sides, as if some creature would attempt to attack him in the middle of the station.

With sigh and a decision made, Harry looked at Teddy saying, "Tell you what, if you promise two things I'll give you a gift from your father. I was going to wait till you were of age, but now is as good a time as any."

"What?"

Harry looked at Teddy, who resembled his father, far more than just physical attributes, with a timid nature, a boy who Harry knew would find his place at Hogwarts and learn to love it, with faith and willingness to open himself up. Hogwarts had given him sanctuary, why wouldn't it do the same for Teddy?

"One, you have to try to make the best of Hogwarts. If you do I can guarantee it won't be as bad as you think. Two, you can never show anyone else this. Ginny hasn't even seen it"

Teddy widened his eyes. Harry never kept secrets from Ginny, ever, so whatever his godfather gave him would be very important. With a nod, he bounded towards the train, making it just in time before it started moving. As soon as he got on he checked the compartments looking for one empty, or at least with people close to his age,realizing the former idea was impossible to find. After traveling half the train, he found one with who he guessed was another first year, from the way the other boy looked nervous. As Teddy sat down he stared at the other boy, he took in his small stature, both in size and height and how it reminded the young Lupin of a mouse, with a pointed nose and an overbite.

When he was sure that there were no other empty compartments, he sat down hesitantly, the other boy staring at him with wide, open eyes.

He thought of greeting the other boy, but at the slight movement, the smaller boy flinched, and he retracted his hand.

Tired of the silence, Teddy held out his hand, "I'm Teddy Lupin."

Staring at him warily,instead of greeting him back, the other boy's eyes shifted towards Teddy's head, which was slowly changing to a darker, chocolate-looking brown, like it usually did when he thought intensely, until said boy spoke.

"What's happening to your hair?"

"I'm a metamorphmagus."

Taking on a confused look the as all boy stared back at Teddy like he had just grown an extra head. Looking at his companion, he realized that he had no idea what Teddy was talking about. Although Teddy felt slightly uncomfortable, he was glad that the silence had ended.

"It means I can change appearance at will," Teddy explained, "although sometimes it just does it on its own."

To say the least, the other boy was gobsmacked staring in awe at what was happening that Teddy felt his hair taking on a pink shade sooner than he would have liked, hating the stare he received.

"Why does it keep changing?" he asked.

"Um,"Teddy stared, "it changes with emotions. When it goes pink it means I'm nervous."

After understanding what he just said,the smaller boy just stared timidly at Teddy, saying, "My name is Charlie Flinch-Fletchely. Are you a first year too?"

Teddy grinned, "Obvious, isn't it?"

Charlie smiled back at him, nodding nervously. Although no more pleasantries were exchanged between the two of them, a comfortable silence filled the car.

That is until the last person Teddy thought Charlie would get along with barged into their car, making no qualms about intruding

Isaac Wood,son of Oliver Wood.
