One of my favourites! Enjoy!

A couple of weeks later, Lily and April were enjoying some time at Godric's Hollow. James, Sirius and Regulus were playing Quidditch outside with the Prewett twins and a few others. Then the radio crackled loudly - someone was standing at their grave, but they might speak soon. Lily's head spun towards it, and she realised something. It had to be April by now...

"Marauders, get in here!" she yelled out the window.

The boys landed and ran inside.

They arrived, luckily with Ted in tow – he'd been the ref. A number of curious faces appeared at the window.

Then Remus' voice (aha, she'd been right again) joyfully issued from the radio. "Dora's had the baby!"

The group cheered. "It's a boy - Edward Remus Lupin. After Dora's father - and me. Dora insisted."

Ted looked modest. "They didn't have to do that."

James chuckled, joking, "Sounds like little Ted's gonna be arrogant, judging by his namesakes." April hushed him.

Remus continued, and they could hear the smile in his voice, "He's a Metamorphagus, and thankfully he hasn't inherited any...furriness from me."

The group exchanged pleased looks. Remus deserved that. Remus sighed fondly. "I understand what you told me about this, Prongs. I can hardly believe I'm a father... Harry was right...Teddy's so perfect and I was being stupid. I've made Harry godfather." he said, "I've got to get back. I'll visit again...maybe when the war ends, I reckon it'll be soon. Marauders forever - bye Lily."

"Bye Remus."

"Marauders forever!" James, Sirius and Regulus cried. A quiet voice echoed them outside the window, but only James and Lily noticed it.

James laughed and looked around. "I believe some 'told you so's are in order."

Mock-grumpily, Lily and Marlene handed over the chocolate to their respective husbands. Regulus 'paid' James mumbling, "should have known better than to bet with you about Harry."

The Prewett twins and Suzanne had also heard the news and congratulated Ted Tonks, who brought out glasses, filled them with butterbeer and passed them around.

"To Teddy Remus Lupin!" he said, "Good health and fortune!"

They toasted the baby and drank. For the rest of the day, it was as though a small ray of sunlight was shining around them. For how long, they didn't know...

I hope I'm portraying Remus right. Sigh. He doesn't know just how right he is…
I hate to gloat, but – I knew he was an Edward!
