By the age of 3, Teddy Remus Lupin had no living immeadiate relatives. There were no relatives on his fathers side, nor on his Mothers, not after his Grandfather, Ted Tonks was killed in the war, and his guardian, Grandmother Andromeda Tonks nee Black suffered from a heart His parents, Remus John Lupin and Nymphadora Adromeda Tonks, were killed in the Second Wizarding War. He was told they died fighting for a better world for him to grow up in. But all he wanted was a world with his parents in.
But, he did have a family he was adopted into. When Adromeda died, newly-wed Harry and Ginny Potter took him in and raised him as their own child. A year later, they had a child of their own, a boy, who they called James Sirius, the next year another boy, who was given the name Albus Severus, although everybody called him Al, followed two years later by a little girl, Lily Luna. They were like his own siblings, having grown up with them around him, under the same roof, with the equality, eventhough Teedy wasn't a blood brother.
Because he was part of the Potters, the Weasleys became his cousins, all of whom he loved very much, he was even included in the Weasley-Jumper tradition, his was turquoise, to match his hair, and yellow, because of his place in Hufflepuff. He considered them all his family, even if he did fancy Victoire, and he didn't want to loose them, not like he did his parents.
All these reasons add together to why he loves the family room. It's the heart of the house, and there's never no-one there, even at night, because there always seems to be someone sleeping on the couch. It's warm and snug and there are no bad memories of in that room. All the Weasley-Potters spend Christmas Day there, and after eating in the dining area (The Weasley men built an extension; with all their off-spring and partners, it would be next to impossible to fit everybody in the kitchen.) everyone would open their presents there and sit by the roaring fire with mugs of tea and hot-chocolate. The only down-side was Christina Welbeck's singing, or rather screeching, on the radio, but everyone tolerated it, because after everything Mrs Weasley goes through every Christmas, it's little they can do to thank her.
So, even though Teddy had no blood family, he did have a family, full of people who loved and cared for him, and there was a lot of them. He was rarely alone, and whilst this is something Hugo consistantly moans about, Teddy loves it, even if that means someone has to brush their teeth whilst he's in the shower. He often thanks Merlin there's a shower curtain.
So? How was it? My next chapter will be about Victoire, and so on and so forth until Lily.
