Teddy/James

Hi guys i'm so glad you're still reading. This is the oneshot of James Sirius Potter and Teddy Lupin I really hope you guys like it.


Teddy hated when people said he was an only child. Not because he was in denial but because it simple wasn't true. Sure his mother and father hadn't had a chance to give him siblings but his Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny had. They had given him two brothers and a sister and Teddy could not be more grateful to them. It also made him very protective of them, he was scared of losing them, scared of being an only child once more and up until James was born that's exactly how Teddy had felt. Sure he had Victoire and his other cousins to keep him company but he didn't have any brothers or sisters. He felt a lump in his throat when he saw Victoire and Dominique together, when he saw what Victoire was taking for granted, the love of a sibling. Victoire never appreciated her sister and that hurt Teddy because that's all he wanted. However one day his Uncle had sat him down and explained that Teddy would have another cousin, only this time it would be Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny's baby. Teddy was so excited, he had helped decorate the baby's room and buy it new clothes. But the day Teddy's life really changed was the day his first brother was born.

"Come and sit down over here Teddy." Grandma Molly told him whilst patting the empty seat next to her.

Aunt Ginny had woke up in the morning, very early mind you, in pain. Uncle Harry had told Teddy that the baby was on its way, Teddy jumped for joy. Today was the day he had been waiting ages for. Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny had brought Teddy with them to St. Mungo's but insisted he stay with Grandma Molly and Grandad Arthur while the baby was being delivered. Teddy wasn't sure what was taking them so long, surely they just collected the baby right?

"Teddy do as your Grandma says." Grandad Arthur told him. Teddy made his way over to his grandparents and sat between the two of them waiting patiently for the baby to be delivered, he always listened to his Grandad because he usually always had something interesting to say. He had decided to go with black hair to match his Uncle Harry's for this occasion, he really hoped the baby had black hair too.

"Did we miss it?" A voice shouted from down the hall. Teddy looked up to see another Aunt and Uncle making their way toward them. The excitement was too much and he jumped out of his seat and ran towards them.

"Aunt Hermione, Uncle Ron!" Teddy shouted. Next to his Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny, Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione were his favourite Aunt and Uncle. He loved his Uncle Ron because he would take him to Quidditch games and teach him to fly on a broom, and his Aunt Hermione would tell him stories of his parents. "Don't worry the baby isn't here yet!"

"Good, we didn't miss anything." Uncle Ron said lifting Teddy into his arms and spinning him around with ease. "Your Aunt Hermione would have my head if we missed our Nephew being born."

Teddy giggled at his Uncle's silliness as they made their way back to where his grandparents sat. They greeted each other and then sat in anticipation, Teddy settled on his Uncle's lap. About ten minutes later Uncle Harry walked toward the group with a large smile on his face.

"Glad you guys could make it, don't worry you'll all get a chance to see the baby. Teddy do you want to come first?" Uncle Harry asked him.

"Yes Please!" Teddy replied jumping out of his Uncle Ron's arms and taking hold of his Uncle Harry's hand.

When they got to the room Aunt Ginny was sitting up in the bed holding something in her arms. She looked warm and tired, Teddy would probably suggest she take a nap. His Uncle led him towards the bed and sat him on top of it. In his Aunt Ginny's arms was a sleeping baby, he had black hair just like Teddy had hoped but not a lot of it.

"What's his name?" Teddy asked as he stared at the baby in awe. He was just so tiny and in that moment Teddy knew he would do anything to protect this baby and anything to make him happy.

"James Sirius Potter, after your Uncle Harry's dad and godfather." Aunt Ginny said smiling at the boy's enthusiasm. "Would you like to hold him Teddy?"

Teddy nodded and Aunt Ginny placed the baby into his arms. He wasn't very heavy Teddy noted. He looked up to see his Aunt and Uncle smiling proudly at the two of them.

"So Teddy what do you think of your new cousin?" Uncle Harry asked him.

"Oh he's not my cousin." Teddy replied. He looked up to see his Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny look slightly confused and a little hurt. "He's my brother."

Aunt Ginny let out a sob and Uncle Harry's smile had never been so big. "Yeah he's your brother Kiddo." Aunt Ginny said whilst ruffling his hair.

This is why Teddy Lupin hated when people stated he was an only child, because the day he became a big brother was the proudest day of his life. It didn't matter that they weren't related by blood, he would do anything to protect James, Albus and Lily. And Teddy couldn't have been happier when he added Dominique to his list of siblings. Teddy Lupin did have siblings, four of them to be exact and he loved each and every one of them with all of his being, but the day James was born was the day Teddy finally felt at peace with his family and he could never thank his brother enough for that.


I would love to hear some reviews from you guys and any suggestions. Fred and Teddy are next.
