A/N: Here's Chapter Two! Thanks to secret-scribbled-notebooks for reviewing, this chapter's for you. Riddle Xx
Teddy Lupin
1) People always seemed to expect great things from him- his parents had died in the War, his godfather was Harry Potter, youngest ever Head of the Auror Office, he was top in his year for Defence Against the Dark Arts, the list went on.
So when he became a professional Chaser, no one was surprised.
They were rather surprised when he retired after five years and started working for George Weasley.
2) One time his grandmother walked in while he was trying out new hair colours.
She didn't mention it again, but did subtly hint to the eight-year-old boy that just because Victoire had waist-length blonde hair and looked fantastic, it didn't mean that the look would work so well for a boy.
3) He was initially a little disappointed at being Sorted into Hufflepuff.
After all, his father and Uncle Harry and Ron and Hermione and Auntie Ginny and Molly and Arthur were all in Gryffindor: what makes him so different?
But then Harry tells him that his mother, who had given him his Metamorphmagus powers and fought so bravely and been an Auror, Mad-Eye Moody's favourite, was a Hufflepuff too.
After that he wears the yellow and black with pride.
4) His real eye colour is a warm brown, like his grandmother's. But for as long as he can remember he has been drawn to having it hazel.
This pleases his grandmother, although Andromeda will never tell him why.
He only finds out when she gives him that wedding picture of his parents.
5) Every time he goes to visit his parent's grave, he turns his hair pink.
Only Harry and Andromeda know, and both tell him that they understand. Apparently his hair turned pink at his parent's funeral, too, young as he was.
Andromeda loves it when he does that, although she warns him that turning his hair such a girly colour probably won't be such a good idea when he goes to Hogwarts.
6) His first kiss was with Alicia Wood behind the school greenhouses in fourth year.
Unfortunately for him, he forgot in the heat of the moment that glass was see-through... and got a completely undeserved reputation as the school Casanova thanks to several early and loud-mouthed Third Years.
7) Although he tells himself that he loves her as his family, he gets so angry when he sees Jacob Nott with Victoire that his hair and eyes turn a bright, fiery red.
The only person who seems to understand why he watches her so closely is Harry, who eventually- though in a rather stilted and awkward manner- says that if he doesn't tell Victoire how he is feeling now, he will always regret it. He knows, he says, and Teddy will see that one day too.
8) It took him three weeks to get up the courage to ask her out, but when he saw her in the hallway with Nott again, he finally found his resolve.
However, he didn't know the password to the Ravenclaw Common Room, and it took three hours of pacing before the eagle took pity on him and gave him an easy question. Luckily he knew the answer to "Who was the last Headmaster of Hogwarts, for Christ's sake?!" and was able to get in.
Of course, seeing her in her rather skimpy pyjamas reduced him to a stuttering wreck, and in the end she took pity on him and put him out of his misery.
By kissing him.
In front of the whole house.
9) Up until Third Year, he was terrified of flying.
It was only when he went to a Muggle theme park with Uncle Harry for the first time and went on his first roller-coaster that he realised at least on a broomstick he could stop when he wanted to!
That Autumn he tried out for the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team.
10) He resented James Sirius, he really did, until his first word was "Teddy" (or, to be more accurate, "Tedda"- but what difference does it make?). After that, he didn't really mind the kid, and rather enjoyed having an honorary little brother- it could sometimes be rather useful.
For instance, it was actually him who knocked over the entire display of Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes' fireworks when he went to Diagon Alley to help Lily get her school books, but since everyone automatically assumed it was James he didn't see fit to correct them.
After all, James caused so much trouble he was half-convinced he did it himself anyway.
