Chapter 10

Teddy hurried quickly to get to Defense of the Dark arts. He dragged along James, who was slowing him down.

"Will you HURRY UP, Jam- I mean Dana!" Teddy yelled.

"I am trying, ja? These eez lot harder vhen you haff gained almost fifty extra pounds! Besides vhy are you een such hurry to get to class?" James wheezed.

Teddy stopped in his tracks. "Well, in case you don't realize, my FATHER IS TEACHING THIS CLASS! So I kind of wanna meet him, you know? Just a little bit!"

They finally reached the classroom. James looked at him.

"Are you going to be fine?"

Teddy looked apprehensive but then his usual mischievous grin reappeared.

"Ackh, ja! I vill be just fine!" Teddy said mockingly, with a smirk.

James rolled his eyes. "Get een the classroom, John!" He said, opening the door.

Teddy took a deep breath then entered through the door. Professor Lupin stared at him.

Teddy let out an involuntary loud gasp. The whole class turned and stared at him. He blushed then quickly took a seat in the back, staring at the ground.

Lupin smiled at him. "Oh, I believe you are the new student?"

Teddy nodded. "Er, mhmmm."

Lupin laughed a little. "It's okay to be nervous, however I won't bite if it makes you feel any better."

Teddy let out a loud, fake sounding, nervous laugh. "HAHAHA, that was, er, that was very funny!" Everybody kept staring at him. He cleared his throat loudly.

"Continue, please, Professor."

Lupin looked at the class.

"Today class, we will continue learning a thing or two about Boggarts. Has anyone ever seen a Boggart?"

Hermione immediately raised her hand. "I haven't seen one sir, but I can tell you what they are."

Lupin nodded. "Go ahead."

Hermione took a deep breath then said, "Boggarts assume the form of what scares the person the most. For example if someone was afraid of a zombie, it would become one."

Lupin nodded encouragingly. "Great! 5 points to Gryffindor!"

Just then, the room door opened. Snape appeared, wearing his signature smirk.

"Boggarts, hmm? Professor Lupin you make sure to keep Mr. Longbottom out of this lesson, it will do you good." He said smoothly.

Lupin raised an eyebrow. "Really? I was actually planning on making him the first person to try the Boggarts?"

Snape sneered at him. "Well, I would be delighted to see how that works out!" He said in a mocking voice.

Snape took a seat next to Albus and Neville. "Go ahead, Remus, I would love to see how this will end up."

Lupin turned to the rest of the class. "Okay so with Boggarts, you want to be sure to be in large groups, can anyone tell me why?"

Snape snorted. "Elementary, my dear Lupin, elementary."

Lupin decided to ignore him. "You, sir, tell me." He said pointing at Teddy.

Teddy started shaking. "Well, if they are in large groups, the Boggart will be confused-"

Lupin nodded. "Excellent work! 5 points to Hufflepuff!"

"What? An entire 5 points just for that?" Snape sneered. "That wasn't entirely that difficult of a question to answer."

Lupin looked at him. "Well, they've got to get their house points from somewhere, right?" Lupin walked over to Neville. "My boy, you are going to show us how to do the Ridikkulus spell on a Boggart, which is right here in this cupboard." He said pointing to a shaking cupboard. "Now, I want everyone to stand in a line and be prepared as Neville tackles this Boggart."

The class rounded up to the front, with Snape following looking bored and unimpressed.

James rose his hand, then asked, "Sir, but if ve let out the Boggart, then von't ve all haff to say the Ridikkulus spell vhen eet comes to us?"

"Ah, yes. The Boggart will all go around you guys so be prepared." Lupin said. He turned to Neville. "Neville, when the Boggart comes out, can you tell me what it will become?"

Neville turned bright red and quickly glanced at Snape, who was changing the color of a nearby quill in boredom.

Lupin glanced at Snape too. "I see. Well, this should be an interesting class. Okay, Neville when the Boggart becomes, er what you fear the most, I want you to think of it in your Grandmother's clothes."

Neville nodded weakly and looked at Albus who gave him an encouraging nod. Lupin quickly took another uneasy glance at Snape, then opened the cupboard. The Boggart came out and quickly looked at Neville, and changed into Snape.

"Neville do it now!" Lupin yelled.

Neville gulped then stuttered, "Riddikulus!"

Immediately, Snape was wearing a fashionable old woman's clothes. The real Snape glared murderously at Neville, who gulped and stared to shrink into a corner.

The Boggart quickly moved around the room, with the students yelling Riddikulus.

When it passed by Albus, he froze. Suddenly, everything else seemed to disappear: the commotion of the classroom, the cries of "Riddikulus". All he saw was a gigantic alligator snapping its jaws at him. It kept coming closer and closer till it was inches away from twisting his limbs away from his body.

Albus swallowed, lifted his wand, then cried "RIDDIKULUS!" at the Boggart, which fell in a heap, and turned into a pair of shoes. Albus wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead and breathed heavily.

Someone had a supporting arm around him, and when he turned around, it was Snape who gave him what Albus thought was suppose to be a sympathetic look. Albus continued breathing heavily. He had phobia about alligators, even at the zoo exhibits where they were kept locked up, he still couldn't breathe until they passed the exhibits. Once James learned of his alligator phobia, he started turning random objects into alligators snapping at him.

Albus finally recovered enough to see that it was Teddy's turn. The Boggart turned into Professor Lupin who was looking at Teddy with disgust, and dislike. Teddy was looking quite pale, and Albus noticed that the real Professor Lupin was looking at Teddy closely.

Snape quickly muttered Ridikulus, and shut the Boggart back up in the cabinet. Albus gaped at Teddy. He had no idea that inside, Teddy was feeling that way. Teddy, who was always calm, and funny, his worst fear was that his parents wouldn't have been proud of him?
Class ended 10 minutes later, and Albus wanted to wait to talk to Teddy, but Neville grabbed his arm merrily and pulled him to the common room.

Teddy gathered his stuff quickly, and tried to flee along with James, but Snape grabbed him, and muttered in his ear, "I think it's time he knew, boy." Teddy gulped as Snape pulled him towards Lupin.

Lupin stared at Teddy for a long time, then quietly said, "Severus, who is this student?"

Snape glanced around the class to make sure it was empty. "Well, Remus, this is your son." He said.

Remus looked puzzled. "I don't recall having any children."

Snape rolled his eyes. "I mean, that the five new students that have arrived here are from the future. They arrived here by a time turner, and this is your son."

Lupin looked at Snape. "What? I am not supposed to marry! My kind cannot produce offspring!" He turned to Teddy. "You're a werewolf, aren't you?"

"No sir, I am only a Metamorphmagus, which I get from my mother's side."

Teddy changed his hair color to match his father's, as to prove a point.

Lupin sank down on a chair and hid his face for a while. Teddy looked anxiously at Snape. Finally, he got up and embraced Teddy.
"My son...my son." He murmured.

Snape rolled his eyes at the cliche of it all. "Yes, well in reality your son is in his twenties, but he is pretending to be a third year."
Lupin smiled at Teddy. "Who is your mother?" He asked. "We were married, I hope?" He added quickly.

"Nymphadora Tonks."

Lupin looked confused. "Tonks?"

Teddy nodded. "Yeah, you guys get married in four years..."

"I really do hate to cut us off so short while we are in this joyous bandwagon, but I have to because you are getting late for your next class." said Snape.

Teddy nodded then started toward the door with Snape. He was almost out of the classroom when Lupin yelled, "Wait!"

He ran to Teddy, gripped him by the shoulders, and stared him in the eyes. "I want you to know, that whatever you think, whatever the Boggart has shown you, that you are the best son I could ask for, and I am extremely proud of you. And don't let anyone or anything tell you otherwise. I hope I am the best father you could ask for."

Teddy nodded, looking a little sad, then quickly left with Snape.

Lupin sank into a chair with years of worry and stress fading away from his face. I have a son... This is the best day of my life. He thought with happiness.
