Hey! SO sorry for the late update! I just recently started my first year at university and have been completely loaded with the work! Hope you can forgive me! Lots of love! Please review peoplessss!
"AL, I WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF!" (James was totally not whining here.)
"MALFOY?" Sirius hollered, immediately turning suspicious eyes on Scorpius, who was standing there, utterly and completely relaxed, as though the entire Order had not just blown up upon hearing his name.
Teddy swiftly interceded, clamping his hands over James and Fred's mouths and shooting Sirius a glare so reminiscent of Remus-that-one-time-when-all-his-chocolate-had-disappeared that the dog animagus snapped his mouth shut and exchanged a wide-eyed glance with Tonks, who had also been subjected to that glare only a few days ago when she raided his secret stash on top of one of the kitchen cupboards.
"There is nothing wrong with Scorpius – he's been best friends with Al and Rose since first year and hasn't tried to poison anyone yet."
Scorpius snickered at the expressions of shock on everyone's faces, before repeating, "Yet."
"Scorpius," Teddy said casually, "that's really not helping."
"Sorry."
"So," Al continued, completely disregarding the holes his brother and cousin were drilling into the back of his head with their glares, "James and Fred are sixth year Gryffindors and also on the Quidditch team – both as chasers."
"I'm in Slytherin," Scorpius said proudly, shooting the occupants of the room a sly smile, "I'm a beater on the team and am also in fifth year with Al and Rose."
Rose stepped forward at her name. "I'm Rose Weasley-"
"Oh!" Molly squealed, almost breathless with happiness, "Another grandchild!"
Rose smiled at her grandma before continuing, "I'm in Ravenclaw and am keeper on the Quidditch team."
Next, the young tanned girl skipped forward, pointed and cackled at her captive brother, glanced back at the Order with an innocent smile on her face and began to introduce herself. "Hi! I'm Roxanne Weasley, unfortunately the younger sister of this buffoon here-" she gestured to Fred, "-third year Gryffindor and I'm going to try out for beater on the team in two years time when the position opens!"
"A beater?" Sirius repeated incredulously, before he could stop himself, taking in the short, skinny stature of the girl in front of him. Roxanne's hands were suddenly on her hips and her glare was scorching.
"Yes, a beater," Roxanne retorted, "Got a problem with that?"
Sirius cowered (TOO. MANY. GLARES.) and shook his head, gulping. "Nope, no problem at all!"
"Good."
"Hey everyone," the brown-haired double of Ron Weasley waved to the occupants of the room energetically, causing the Order to wonder whether all these kids seemed to be somewhat lacking in the sanity department. "I'm Hugo Weasley and I love food."
A few snorts and chortles echoed around the room and the same thought occurred in everyone's brain: Definitely Ron's kid.
The kids snickered at this before Rose rolled her eyes and nudged him. "Oh, and I'm the sister of Rosie here, a fourth year Gryffindor and I'd just like to say that me and broomsticks are enemies."
"Great," Snape muttered to himself under his breath. "More Weasleys and Potters – just what I need."
"So you don't fly?" Arthur asked, smiling reassuringly at the boy – Merlin, his grandson.
Hugo shuddered. "No. Never. Nope. Would rather die."
The younger redheaded girl (whom, now that Molly thought of it, definitely had Ginny's nose) stared around the room before unleashing an almost Slytherin-esque smirk and began to speak. "I'm Lily Potter." – Snape flinched – "Slytherin fourth year and seeker for the team!"
The adults looked gobsmacked. "You're in Slytherin?!" Bill gaped, glancing sideways at Sirius and Snape who both looked as though they were going to explode – albeit for different reasons.
Remus huffed out a breath. "There hasn't been a Potter in Slytherin since… since…"
"Catherine Potter in 1798," Al finished promptly, shooting Lily a grin. "I researched it before my first year at Hogwarts 'cause James kept saying I'd be one."
James looked dejected as he sighed, "I guess I teased the wrong sibling. Oh woe is me!"
"Okay!" Teddy interrupted once more, giving the blonde by his side a small nudge forwards. "Shall we continue?"
"I'm Victoire Weasley," the blonde began, a dazzling smile playing at her lips. "I'm 21 and am training to be a Healer at the moment and was in Gryffindor when I was at school. I don't play Quidditch but I do love flying!"
Bill was staring at her, tilting his head side to side as he tried to work out why she seemed so familiar. It struck him when she aimed her smile at him and he gasped, "You're… you're… but – what?!"
"Oh look!" Victoire said excitedly as her smile widened. "He's realised! That was quick."
Teddy chuckled, winding an arm around her waist as he did, hoping that Bill was still too shocked to realise and understand the motion – he was already terrified enough of the Bill back home as it was. "Well, it is quite obvious, love."
The turquoise-haired boy took a deep breath and shifted slightly, so it seemed that he was completely focused on Remus, Sirius and Tonks. "I'm… Teddy Lupin."
The colour drained out of Remus' face as his eyes widened and his jaw dropped slightly. "W-w-what?" he stuttered faintly.
"Moony," Sirius laughed, eyes lighting up, "You have a kid! That's awesome! I better be godfather!"
Teddy chuckled, swallowing the lump in his throat as he replied, "Nah, dad thought you were far too reckless for that job."
Sirius shrugged, still absolutely ecstatic for his friend. "Ah well! As long as I managed to teach you some things, like how to fool teachers and deal with Peeves and so on."
Tonks was still staring at Teddy, wondering, praying, begging…
"Who's your mum?" Remus finally asked, looking as though it was taking all his effort to get the words out as he pointedly avoided Tonks.
Suddenly grinning cheekily, Teddy screwed up his face and his hair suddenly became a magenta Mohawk (received with cheers by the other teenagers), then a rainbow coloured spiky do, the messy black hair of the Potters and then finally hair long enough to tuck into his trousers in the style of Albus Dumbledore (who by now was chuckling his beard off).
Tonks gasped, an uncontrollable grin unfurling on her face as her hair mimicked Teddy's shocking blue and she almost squealed, "You're mine! You're my son!"
Teddy nodded, smiling, eyes sparkling in happiness as he drank in the sight of his parents for the first time in his life. Noticing the expression of desperation on Remus' face, he added, "Don't worry dad," (relishing the word as it rolled off his tongue) "I'm not a werewolf – I just get a bit cranky on the full moons."
"A bit?" James muttered incredulously.
"Oh," Victoire interjected, exchanging a glance with Teddy as she linked her arm with his, "and we're engaged!"
Bill's mouth fell open. "WHAT?!"
Review guys!
I'll try and update soon :)
