August 31st.
2010
It was the day before Teddy left for Hogwarts and he was having a steady stream of visitors. The Grangers among them.
It sure was going to be hard not seeing Teddy every week. Hugo and Jean had been teaching science to Teddy and Victorie since they had been 5, now he would be off to Hogwarts. Teddy was talking a mile a minute. He had already told Hugo and Jean about all of his new things, the owl Harry had bought him and the trip to Diagon Alley and now was telling of how they had ran in to George and family at the war memorial in May.
"Roxanne was fussy so I did my animal faces at her. You know she laughs just like Uncle George? She laughed so hard at my fox I just kept doing it! Do you think I'll get sorted in to mum or dad's house? I don't know which I'd like better…" Teddy kept talking faster than anyone could answer.
September 1st
Hugo and Jean had been busy September 1st but part of their minds and hearts were at Kings Cross. Tonight they would be joining the rest of the family at the Burrow and get to hear how Teddy's first trip to the station went.
A somber group ate dinner that night. Half way through an owl arrived with a note from Molly that they had seen Teddy and that he had already made friends.
Neville must have had an owl waiting because, just as everyone was heading for home, an owl arrived telling them that Teddy had been sorted in to Gryffindor.
September 2nd
Jean had just gotten Rose and little Hugo down for their naps when a shaken Hermione apperated in to the sitting room
"Mom it's Teddy he's been hurt badly. We don't know what happened, he was found badly beaten. I am heading to Hogwarts, I'll keep you informed. Oh Mom pray…."
Teddy was in bad shape. Multiple broken bones and a deep concussion. From the looks of him and the other three children they had fought their attackers. Neville and the other professors were conducting a house to house search for any one with suspicious injuries. They knew it was probably useless because the attackers had plenty of time to heal themselves.
The only clue had been a copy of that rag "The Wizard's Weekly World Report" with a picture of Teddy morphing his face and an article by Rita Skeeter.
The family had gathered at Hogsmede when the news came that the other young man had came to long enough to identify their attackers as Slytherine and that the headmistress suspected Rita Skeeter's nephew may have led the attack. Apparently Teddy was bullied on the train by an older Slytherine and was being rescued by a 2nd year Ravenclaw girl when the boy used a spell on her and Teddy knocked him out.
It was a long week for the adults in Teddy's life before Bill brought the news that Teddy was awake, and alert, though hurting. Teddy was in the hospital wing for a total of four weeks.
Apparently an article by Rita Skeeter had started it all. Somehow she had gotten a picture of Teddy when he had been morphing his face to look like a fox to entertain Roxanne and made up garbage about him transforming in to a werewolf like his dad. If she had wanted to cause widespread panic among the parents of Hogwarts, she had failed. The only students that left had been her own nephew and 5 other Slytherines who had been expelled for endangering the life of other students.
Hermione immediately sued Rita and the rag she worked for.
You certainly could not call being a part of the Weasley family dull. Not long after Teddy was up and going again a general alarm went out when James Potter and Freddy Weasley went missing.
Apparently Angie had found the floo powder container empty on the floor and could not find Freddy anywhere. Ginny went immediately to James' room. He was not there nor was he anywhere in the house.
Angie contacted George and Ginny owled Harry. Soon they were contacting every family and friend's household looking for the boys.
The MOM put a trace on both of their fireplaces and confirmed that Freddy had indeed flooed to Grimald Place. Then, it seemed, the boys had flooed to WWW in hogsmede.
Molly and Arthur had not seen them but started searching for them immediately. Angie, Ginny, George and Harry all apperated to Hogsmede to search.
The boys were found outside the gates to Hogwarts. They had decided to visit Teddy. But the wards around the grounds kept them from getting in.
Needless to say there were two little boys who were in a lot of trouble.
