Chapter Two: Parents' Love
Let me start out by telling you a little bit about your parents. Your father, Remus John Lupin had light brown hair with flecks of gray in it, and was born on March 10th, 1960. When he was five, he was attacked by Fenrir Greyback and affected with lycanthropy, but was allowed to attend Hogwarts in 1971 by professor Dumbledore. He quickly became friends with my father, James, Sirius, and Peter Pettigrew, who found out about his lycanthropy in their second year, but stayed by his side just the same. Remus's friends became Animagi in order to keep him company, and nicknamed him "Moony", for obvious reasons. The four friends became known as "The Marauders" and constantly got into trouble. Remus was a good student, though, and didn't get into nearly as much trouble as my dad and Sirius did. In his fifth year, Remus was made prefect in hopes of controlling his friends, which didn't work as well as Dumbledore had hoped. After my father and mother were killed, Sirius went to Azkaban, and Peter disappeared, Remus had lost all of his closest friends.
Remus was my Defense Against the Dark Arts professor during my third-year. He was the best Defense professor I ever had, and he even taught me how to form a patronus, which I someday hope to teach you to do.
Your mother, Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin, was born sometime in 1973 and was a metamorphagus, but her favorite color of hair was bubblegum pink. Tonks, as she preferred to be called, was sorted into Hufflepuff in 1984. According to Professor Sprout, her head of house, she couldn't seem to behave, which is why she was never made a prefect. Tonks was known to be clumsy, as she was constantly knocking over the umbrella stand at Order meetings. She became an Auror in 1994, and met your dad in 1995 when she joined the Order of the Phoenix. At some point in time, Tonks fell in love with your dad. However, Remus thought he was too poor, too dangerous, and too old for her. She didn't listen to him, of course, and they were married in the summer of 1997.
When your mum became pregnant with you, your dad left your mum to find me because he feared that he had passed on his lycanthropy to you. He and I had an argument about, which apparently made him change his mind, because he returned to your mum sometime before Christmas. When your mum gave birth to you, your parents named you after your grandfather, Ted Tonks. When Remus told me they had made me your godfather, I was delighted, yet surprised that they chose me over anyone else. Both your mother and father fought valiantly in the battle of Hogwarts. Your mother was killed by her aunt, Bellatrix – who seemed to actually enjoy killing her relatives – while your father was killed by Antonin Dolohov. Both of their deaths deeply upset me, and were part of the reason I turned myself in to Voldemort. Your parents loved you more than anything, and they always will.
Author's note: I'm so sorry for another short chapter, and if it was boring at all. I promise the story will get better, and the chapters will get longer and be more original. Just hang with me here while I get to the more exciting stuff.
