A/N: thanks for the review. Sorry it's been taking so long lately.

I'm starting to hate school haha! kidding:)

Hope you enjoy!

Teddy went up to his room. He slowly closed the door behind him. "I'm back, Mum, Dad," he whispered, looking at the photo placed at his beside table. He walked over and sat on the bead. He whipped out his wand. "Accio Badge," he said. Teddy was happy that he had finally turned of age to use magic out of Hogwarts. He placed the badge near the photo. "They've chosen me for Head Boy, Dad," he whispered.

And this love will never let you go

A knock came to his door. Teddy sat up and saw his grandmother. "How was your date?" she asked with a smile. Teddy smiled back. His grandmother never failed to ask him about his day, no matter how late he got home.

"It went great," Teddy replied.

Andromeda reached out for the badge. "They would have been so proud of you," she said as she looked at the family picture. Her eyes shifted to Teddy. "I am very proud of you. You showed all those bullies you had when you were younger, didn't you? You've got all the achievements there is to achieve," she said proudly.

Teddy threw back his head and laughed. "That doesn't matter to me now, Grams. What's past is past. One of the people who bullied me before even became one of my closest friends," he said. Andromeda nodded. She knew this because Teddy had always been pretty open with her and kept little importation from her.

Andromeda placed the badge back to the table. She gave Teddy a kiss on the forehead. "I'm really very proud of you, Ted," she whispered. She walked out of the room.

"Accio Photo Album," Teddy muttered. A photo album came towards him. He smiled as he opened it. Memories flowed out from that photo album. His memories came alive from this. Teddy knew he didn't need a pensive to remember clearly his truly joyful moments.

Fifteen-year-old Teddy looked nervously at the Hogwarts letter. "What if I don't get to be prefect?" he asked and looked at Harry anxiously.

"Won't make any difference with what I think of you," replied Harry. "You're still going to be the house prefect of this Potter household, in charge of my sons and daughter." He gave Teddy an encouraging smile. "Don't worry about it anymore. Just open the letter. I believe Hogwarts is mental if they didn't choose you."

Teddy slowly opened the letter. His eyes widened. "Harry!" Harry beamed. He could tell from Teddy's excited voice what the result is. "I made it. They've made me prefect. They've made me prefect like my dad!" Teddy held the Badge in his hand. "They made me prefect like my dad."

Teddy looked at his smiling face from before. He was very proud of holding that prefect badge. He worked hard for it. It was one of the happiest moments in his life, achieving one of his goals as he held that badge on his palm.

After so many years, Harry had never doubted him even if he doubted himself. Harry stood behind him all the time with encouraging and comforting words. Never did Harry once leave him on his own. Harry found time to show him that he was loved and someone was there to support him all the way.

"I can never be your father, but while he's gone, I'll try to be."

Teddy slipped through the photo and landed on another quite memorable picture of himself when he was sixteen.

"Teddy, a letter!" called his grandmother from downstairs. Teddy ran down the stairs hoping it came from Victoire. He hadn't heard from her all summer since she was busy helping her mother take care of her grandfather in France. Teddy felt downhearted to see a brown envelope on the table. Victoire never send anything but purple envelopes.

"From Hogwarts?" Teddy picked up the envelope. He opened it and dropped in the instant he did. Andromeda turned around quickly, alarmed. Teddy shakily picked up the envelope again. "Grams, I've just been made Captain of the Quidditch team too! It said here that Gorlik is transferring so I'm going to replace him as Captain."

Teddy had never expected to be captain. The Gryffindor team won that year. From someone people looked down at, he became someone people admired and looked up to. Now he knows why Harry told him to hold his head up high and to tough it out.

There is nothing that could ever

Teddy sat up from his bed. He placed the photo album back to the shelf. Memories, happy memories, were all he had to look back upon to keep him grateful and smiling. He knew that he could hold his head up high now, knowing how many people believed in him. It isn't the people who believed in him after he had achieved all these things, it was the people who believed he could achieve all his dreams.

"Teddy, the Potters are here." Teddy smiled widely and raced down the stairs. He saw Harry and his family at the door. Andromeda let them in. "Come on, have a seat. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes," she said and rushed off to the kitchen.

James jumped about. "I can't believe you really became Head Boy," he said. Teddy smiled and ruffled James's hair. James tried to evade Teddy. "Don't ruin the do!" he cried. Teddy laughed. James had most probably copied the line from him.

Dinner with the Potters are never monotonous. There is always something bound to happen. Tonight, the silverware flew about as James tried to trick Albus. Albus chased James around the dining room as the adults laughed at the scene.

"Oh," said Harry looking up. "Hermione and Ron heard about the news. They're coming over to celebrate too," he said.

Teddy's face shone with pride. Ron and Hermione rarely participated in Teddy's parties, except for the birthday parties he used to throw. Both of them were pretty busy about a lot of things because both of them worked full time juggling their kids and work.

Ginny smacked her lips. "I forgot to mention that Bill's coming over too, with his family."

Teddy raised his eyebrow. "It's already eleven o'clock. Why is everybody coming at the hour?" he asked as he looked at the clock. Surely it wasn't the wrong time because he had ended his date with Victoire at exactly ten not too long ago.

Sure enough, the room was later filled with familiar faces and voices, everyone congratulating Teddy on making it to Head Boy. Children ran amok around the house, sons and daughters of Harry's friends and family. Andromeda didn't seem to mind. She said she missed having Teddy running around the house and this was a good change once in a while.

Ron raised his glass. "A toast, to our new Gryffindor Head Boy!" he said. "To Teddy Lupin!"

"To Teddy Lupin!" the crowd chorused.

George playfully pushed Victoire near Teddy. "Don't forget our new prefect as well. To Victoire Weasley!" he said, raising another toast. Everyone cheered. George smiled. "I have never seen a more perfect pair in a long time now. I hope your relationship last." He raised his glass again. Apparently, George had too much to drink. "To Ted Lupin and Victoire Weasley, may your relationship last a lifetime!"

Everyone laughed and the glasses clicked. Both Teddy and Victoire turned red, though Teddy was already red enough from drinking.

Ron shook Teddy's hand. "Remus was right," he said with a smiled. "Teddy Remus Lupin is a great wizard in the making, very great, as far as I can see it." Teddy could see that Ron was proud of him. "Keep that up. Everyone is really happy for you. We expect a lot of great things from you, Teddy."

Hermione walked up to them. "Congratulations, Teddy." Her eyes shone proudly as she looked at her. "You have earned it. You deserve to be Head Boy this year." She looked at Victoire who stood next to him. "And you also deserve to be prefect. Congratulations, dear."

"Thank you," Teddy and Victoire said in unison. They looked at each other and laughed.

Hermione smiled at them. "I could never see a better pair than you," she said to them. "Remus Lupin's one and Bill Weasley's." She looked at Teddy and Victoire. "I hope this doesn't end too soon," she told them, her voice soft and assuring she spoke the truth.

"We hope so too," said Victoire. She looked at Teddy sideways. Teddy nodded.

Just then, Percy Weasley came up to them. "Congratulations, the both of you." He looked at Victoire particularly. "I'm very glad you made it prefect. Well done." He turned to the two and smiled at them. "Very well done, the both of you. Soon, you'll be happy to tell this tale to the children you will have," he said.

Victoire turned scarlet. "We aren't getting married, Uncle Percy," she pointed out.

Percy gave her a suspicious look. "Well, my guess is in a couple of years you will." He looked at Teddy. "Unfortunately, I did not get to know your parents that well, but I do believe they are very proud of you right now. You've grown up to prove yourself to be worthy of all you achievements," he jerked his head towards Victoire, "and my goddaughter. Congratulations."

Teddy smiled. "Thanks."

Percy walked off. Hermione and Ron did too. Teddy took Victoire's hand by surprise. Victoire turned to him. Teddy nodded happily. He felt that this was one of the best days of his life.

"Ted Lupin!" Teddy saw Neville Longbottom, jog up to him. Neville is his Herbology teacher at Hogwarts. He placed one hand on Teddy's shoulder and shook Teddy's hand with his free hand. "Congratulations. I knew you'd make it. I had perfect faith in you that you would seeing how you perform very well in at Hogwarts. I can say you have made everything yours, didn't you? The prefect badge and the Head Boy badge, not to mention becoming Quidditch Captain. Very good work. I expect a lot more from you. It's a shame I won't get to see you this year. Learning to become an Auror, right? What did you get for Transfiguration?"

"He got straights O's." Neville and Teddy looked to see Ginny standing behind them. "Very studious, I believe. He deserves to be everything he is right now." Neville let go of Teddy and Ginny gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "We're very proud of you, Teddy." She looked at Victoire and gave her a hug too. "And also of you, Vicky."

"Family picture!" Teddy turned and saw George with a camera. "It's on and now everybody gather up the kids, since we're all here anyway." George set the camera afloat as the family gathered about the living room. It was a rather large lot, seeing that the Weasleys had very large families. Teddy stood away so that they could have their family picture. George grabbed his collar. "No you don't. You're part of this family. Now come here."

Teddy looked at the camera and smiled.

cause this love to lose its hold
