19 April, 1998

Teddy was born a week after Easter and, coincidentally, the full moon. His father, Remus, had broken down in relief when the baby was placed in his arms. In order to have inherited Remus' werewolf genes, Teddy would have to be born on a full moon.

Unfortunately, neither Remus nor Dora got to know their son. Both of them died about two weeks later, and over the years, Teddy grew used to many awkward conversations.

When he had sat under the Sorting Hat, he had fully expected it to label him a Slytherin. No one was more surprised than him when the Hat shouted, "Hufflepuff!"
