A New Generation

Summary: The same as before, read the previous chapter if you don't know what it is.

A/N: Nothing belongs. Please read and review! Thankies:D

Teddy stared at the pictures, one by one. His mother stood, holding him proudly. Her lank, dark hair hung limply down her shoulders, but her eyes shone with such happiness that he felt that she was beautiful, no matter what.

He switched to the next picture, one of his father with four others. One of them looked exactly like Harry did, except with no scar and his eyes were hazel. Standing beside her was a woman with dark red hair and deep green eyes – Harry's eyes. Beside them stood a laughing man, with shoulder length dark hair. Then, last of them all, stood a short, blonde haired boy with watery eyes.

Teddy's eyes gazed below the picture of the laughing group as he read the inscription.

Remus, Sirius, James, Lily, and Peter.

He grinned as he looked over at his father once more. His sandy hair fell in front of his eyes, and he grinned up at them all, looking younger than ever before. He paused in front of James and frowned. The James Potter he knew had dark red hair and fiery brown eyes, much like his mother's. Only Albus had his father's looks. Messy black hair, and clear, emerald eyes. Not a single trace of his mother was in him at all. He looked exactly like his father, and grandparents before him. This James Potter must have been Harry's father. Lily had the exact same shade of eyes as her sons, and grandson's. She must have been Harry's mother. He looked at Sirius, and he felt a jolt of sympathy for his godfather. No wonder he missed Sirius Black, Harry's own godfather. To lose such a man must have been painful. His eyes lingered for a moment upon Peter's, and a rage filled him. The man who had betrayed Harry's parents, causing him to be an orphan, just like him, to the most evil dark wizard of all time. People were still scared to speak his name, even though the danger had passed. Teddy was one of the few people that Harry recounted the tale of Lord Voldemort to, and the reason his parents had died. To make a better world for him.

"May I sit here?" someone asked politely. Teddy looked up to see a boy, not much older than him. He had dark brown hair and clear blue eyes in contrast to Teddy's own yellow hair and orange eyes. The hood had fell back, and the boy stared at his hair in awe.

"Yes, of course." Teddy replied. He shifted to make room for the boy, who continued to stare. Teddy was used to it by now. Ever since a young age, he had managed to gain control of his powers and he changed it every so often, but always keeping the eyes the same. He didn't know why he had orange eyes. Harry had said that none of his parent's had had eyes like that, so he couldn't guess why. He fingered his yellow hair self-consciously and grinned at the boy. "Never met a metamorphmagus before?" he asked.

"No, actually, I'm a muggle-born." He confessed. Teddy nodded.

"Of course." He replied. "Well just in case you didn't know, I can change appearance at will. My mom was one, and so am I. They're really rare." He finished proudly. The boy nodded.

"Wow," he said finally. "So, you can change your appearance to anything?" he asked. Teddy nodded and screwed up his face, and concentrated hard on his hair. With a pop, it turned bright blue.

"See." He said. The boy was staring at him, his jaw open.

"That's amazing!" he complimented. "What's your name?"

"Teddy Lupin. Yours?" Teddy countered.

"Alexis Rowe. Pleased to meet you." Alexis replied, grinning. "So, Teddy, what's Hogwarts like?" he asked. "Ever since I got my letter, I'm been dying to know."

Teddy spent the better part of the journey explaining Hogwarts to Alexis, who listened in awe.

"There are all sorts of passages and shortcuts too! And the staircases move and—" he stopped abruptly and stared at the doorway to the compartment. A girl was standing there, looking bored.

"Can I come in?" she asked. "My Ravenclaw and Slytherin cousins are fighting about who's house I'll be in. Bunch of snots they are." She muttered boredly. "What are your names?" she asked, settling herself in a seat.

"Alexis Rowe, muggle-born."

"Teddy Lupin, metamorphmagus."

"Are you really?" the girl asked. She had blonde hair that fell up to her waist and clear green eyes. Teddy nodded. "That's so cool!" she exclaimed. "Is that why your hair is blue?" Teddy nodded again.

"So, Teddy, you were explaining about Houses? How many are there?" Alexis asked.

"Four, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw—" Here the girl made a scathing noise. "—Slytherin and—"

"Hufflepuff, the best house there is." A snobbish voice came from the doorway. The boy had dark hair and arrogant grey eyes. "Ivie, your cousins want you." He drawled.

Ivie scowled. "Tell 'em to fight like a pack of dogs and leave me out of it." She growled.

The boy yawned and ruffled his hair. "Whatever." He muttered. "So, I heard you talking about the houses? Well, just so you know, don't even start about Gryffindor. They're brave and all that, but they are simply not good enough." He smirked. "They lost out to us in the previous House Championships, in both Quidditch and the House Cup."

"They'll win this year." Teddy countered fiercely. "So just shut up."

"Yeah." Ivie shot at him.

"Whatever." The boy rolled his eyes. "I'm Mark Davies, and if you know what's good for you, you'll hope that you're in Hufflepuff too."

Bang! Ivie had lost control of herself and whipped out her wand. Her emotions controlled the better part of her and she managed to blast Mark out the door. Slamming it shut behind him, she sat back down.

"I swear, I hope that I'm in Gryffindor. My entire family's been in either Ravenclaw or Slytherin, and it's getting boring." She remarked furiously. Alexis looked confused, so they explained to him some more, until finally, the compartments grew dark and the lanterns were lit. Teddy glanced up.

"We should change." He said. The rest of them nodded, and they quickly changed into their robes. The train screeched to a stop, and they stepped out nervously.

"Firs' years! Firs' years this way!" Hagrid bellowed. The three of them exchanged grins as Hagrid ambled over to them, his dark mane of hair and beard streaked with grey. He towered over them, and grinned at them all. "Hello you three. How you doin'?" he asked.

"Fine Hagrid." Teddy replied. He quickly explained to Ivie and Alexis who Hagrid was. Finally, all the first years were rounded up, and he led them to the Black Lake.

"Yeh'll get yer first look at Hogwarts right about now." He said. Everybody 'oohh'ed and 'ahh'ed at the sight of the magnificent castle. Teddy's eyes were huge, and Alexis looked awed at the sight of the school. Only Ivie seemed bored. "Now, four tah a boat, and we'll get goin'." Everybody clambered in and they rowed. The dark, glassy surface was disturbed only by they Giant Squid's tentacles. Finally, they reached the cave under the cliff and the got out of the boats and climbed up the rocks. Hagrid knocked on the door and a tiny person opened the door.

"First years, Professor Flitwick." Hagrid said. Flitwick nodded and beckoned towards them. The great mass of First years entered the door and into the chambers beyond

A/N: Took a break to do this. I hope you like. I planned everything out, so writing will be a lot more easier for me.

You may press the purple button now. –pokes-
