Three Years Ago, Grimmauld Place:
"Are you excited Teddy?" Harry asked the 11 year old boy next to him.
"Very," Teddy said, with obvious excitement. Ron passed Harry and Teddy.
"You know," Ron said, in a lowered tone. "First years have to fight a dragon to get into the great Hall."
"Tell your own kids crazy tales, Weasly," said Hermione, who had joined the group. Teddy laughed, even though he wasn't sure if Ron had been kidding or not.
"I better be a Gryffindor," Teddy said, adding a lighter mood on the already happy conversation.
"Wasn't your mother a Hufflepuff?" Ron asked, not realizing how tough a subject parents were for Teddy. Harry nodded, also oblivious to Teddy's sudden sadness. Hermione, though, did notice and gave Teddy a reassuring squeeze.
"They would be so proud of you," she said softly. Teddy nodded, a small tear dripping down his face. People always told him that he was just like his parents, but he never got to know them. Never heard them say "hello", or "good job", or "I love you". He only remembered pictures of him and his parents sitting on a couch, Teddy was hardly 5 months old. Harry and Rod were still oblivious to the young boy's feelings, so they started talking again.
"You should make sure you're up and read tomorrow," Harry said. "You don't want to miss the train."
"Like we did in second year?" Ron asked Harry. "Unfortunately for you, Teddy, you won't have a flying car to assist you." Teddy smiled weakly. Teddy was so excited to finally go to Hogwarts, but he would miss his godparents and "cousins". He was the oldest of every kid who spent Christmas at The Burrow, and he would be the first to go to Hogwarts. Then in two years Victoire Weasly, his best friend, would join him. Yay! He was so excited for Victoire to join, because she was his only friend. And if Teddy didn't make any friends he would have Victoire. But if Teddy did make friends, he was sure that all his friends would love Victoire. She was the nicest girl he had ever met. Although, he did only know about 7 girls.
"What kind of wand do you have Teddy?" Hermione asked him.
"Elm and Unicorn tail," Teddy said, smiling. He loved his wand, and the way it felt so warm in his fingers. He loved doing little spells, and putting his wand in a case in his room.
"Teddy, look at the time," Harry said to him, glancing at the grandfather clock he had inherited from Sirius. "It's time for you to go to bed. You've got a big day tomorrow." Teddy nodded, and then ran upstairs for bed. He couldn't wait to wake up tomorrow and start at Hogwarts.
