Chapter 3: Introductions' Can Be Awkward, You Know?
December 16, 1996; Past
"What? That's absurd," Professor McGonagall said. "Who are you really?"
"It's true. I'm from the future. 2019… Um… Is this the Burrow?" Vicky asked.
Molly narrowed her eyes, "yes, it is," she said.
"Oh," Vicky said.
"What is your name?" Dumbledore asked kindly.
"Victoire Weasley. Sister of Dominique and Louis. Daughter of Bill and Fleur," she nodded towards them as there were several gasps and a groan, most likely from Molly.
"W-what is it you say?" Fleur stammered, looking extremely shocked.
Dumbledore pulled out a vial of a potion called Veritaserum. "I shall require you to drink this. And if you are who you say you are then you will know I do not want to poison you." Victoire shared a look with the older blue-haired boy.
"I'll do it," the older boy stepped forward. Everyone watched as Dumbledore handed him the potion. He downed it and handed Dumbledore back the empty vial, which he stuck in his pocket.
"What is your full name?" Dumbledore questioned.
"Ted Remus Lupin," he said clearly. Tonks gasped and he looked at her, blinking a few times, he looked troubled. He turned back to look at Dumbledore.
"Am I right in guessing that your father is Remus Lupin and due from your- exuberant- hair color, your mother is Nymphadora Tonks?"
"Yes." Tonks was too shocked to move as she stared at him with big eyes. She turned her hair bubble gum pink, smiling.
"And I assume you really are from the future?"
"Yes."
"Then I believe introductions are in order," Dumbledore smiled, eyes twinkling.
******************************************************************************************* As everyone sat around the Weasley's dining room table as one by one the children took turns standing up and introducing themselves.
A tall, gangly redheaded girl stood up, "uh, hi. No, I mean, hello. I'm Dominique Alexandrie Weasley. My sister is Victoire, so I guess, uh, that makes me Bill and Fleur's daughter. No, I know that makes me their daughter. I, um, uh, I'm in Gryffindor at Hogwarts and I'm, well, I'm fifteen." The girl finished, blushed, and quickly sat down. Victoire giggled and Dominique shot her a look.
"I'm Louis," a gorgeous guy with long-ish blonde hair stood up. "Louis Charles Weasley. I'm Nikki and Vic's brother." Bill looked ready to pass out as he prayed there were only three kids. "I'm fourteen. I'm in Gryffindor and I play Chaser in Quidditch at school."
Victoire stood up. "As I said, I'm Victoire. Victoire Angelica, I played Beater when I went to school. I was in Ravenclaw. I'm nineteen now and training to become a Healer at St. Mungo's."
Another blonde girl stood up. "I'm Lucy Lee Weasley. I'm Percy's eldest daughter-"
"What?" Molly stood up. "Percy comes back?"
"Yes, Grandma," Lucy rolled her eyes at her Grandma's hysterics. "As I was saying," Molly sat down, "I look like my mother, Audrey Jones. I'm sixteen and I'm Captain of the Quidditch team. I play Chaser and I'm in Ravenclaw. Molly?" A girl with thick red curls stood up and walked around the table as Lucy sat down.
"'Lo, I'm Molly Weasley. Percy's youngest daughter and yes," she held up a finger to Mrs. Weasley who had just opened her mouth to speak, "he named a kid after you. I'm in Gryffindor and, unlike Luce, I hate Quidditch." The lively red headed girl sat down, gesturing to a girl with loose brown ringlets to stand up.
"I'm Roxanne Angelina Weasley. I'm the daughter of George and Angelina Weasley, formerly Johnson. I'm fourteen, in Gryffindor, and I play Chaser for the team. You can call me Roxie."
Next, a boy who looked very much like the twins, Fred and George, stood up. "I'm Fredrick George Weasley. Brother to Roxie. I'm sixteen, in Gryffindor, I play Beater in Quidditch-"
"Blimey, Fredrick" Tonks said, "does your family make up a whole Quidditch team?"
"Almost, but Alex Natty plays Keeper," Fredrick grinned. "Oh, and people call me Fred." He was about to sit down, when he reconsidered. He winked at Minerva, who seemed quite taken back and said; "And I own my own chair in Professor McGonagall's office. All mine." Molly I tsked and frowned. Minerva just looked shocked.
"I'm Rose Mai Weasley," a frizzy red haired girl stood, "my parents are Ron and Hermione, formerly Hermione Granger."
"I knew it!" Tonks exclaimed.
Rose grinned, "yes, well, Dad came to his senses eventually." A few people chuckled. "I'm in Gryffindor, I'm fourteen and I love school!" A few future kids groaned and Rose shot them a look as she sat down. Tonks was greatly reminded of Hermione.
A boy stood up who looked like Ron, with big brown eyes and dirt on his nose, "I'm Hugo Arthur Neville Weasley. Rose's brother. I'm in Gryffindor as well and I like Quidditch but I don't play at school."
The next person to speak had a mop of black hair, freckles and brown eyes, "hello, I'm James Sirius Potter," a couple people blanched, "I'm a prankster extraordinaire and along with Fred, I own my own chair in Minnie's office," Molly I tsked again. "I am, obviously," he rolled his eyes, "Harry Potter's son. I play Beater in Quidditch and I'm awesome." Cue chuckles.
He sat down and revealed another boy with black hair, this time with Harry's gorgeous green eyes. "Hi, I'm Al Potter."
"Full name, Al," the girl Victoire pulled closer earlier reminded him.
"Oh, ah, right," he blushed. "I'm Albus Severus Potter-"
"What?" A bunch of people said at the same time. "Harry named his son after Severus Snape? Oh, and Dumbledore?" Tonks asked.
"Yes, he did." Albus said, annoyed. He didn't elaborate further, just went on, "I'm fourteen, in Gryffindor, I'm a Chaser and I am the spitting image of my father, duh, anyone can see that." Molly I and Arthur laughed.
The last un-introduced kid, the redhead who was apparently a favorite of Teddy and Victoires, stood up and bowed slightly. "I'm Lily Luna Potter, the youngest. I'm thirteen and in Gryffindor. I'm Seeker on the team and I love my Auntie Luna," she smiled. "Oh, and since Teddy didn't really tell you much about himself, I'll fill you in. He's super booky smart," (Tonks heard James mutter, "booky?") "He's an amazing sort of big brother and he excels at Arithmancy. He's twenty-one." Teddy turned red as Lily grinned and sat down. Tonks beamed.
"Hey, Lily," Molly II said, "you forgot to tell us who your mother is."
