Chapter 28:

Teddy and Regan were sitting together in a back corner of the library, time travel books opened between them and extra parchment littered the table.

"I just don't get this!" Teddy exclaimed for the fourth time. "It's not the getting back part that's the problem anymore—these books aren't helping at all!"

"Okay, so when you say that if you go back now—with Lily still in love with you—then thing's will be messed up, do you mean like minorly messed up?"

"No, I mean like majorly messed up." Regan looked at him doubtfully. "I mean like Lily marrying Remus messed up."

"No!" she cried shocked. "Who is he really supposed to marry?"

"Trust me. You wouldn't know her." Regan just shrugged and pushed the books away.

"This isn't doing us any good, Teddy. What we need is a book that tells you how to attract a girl and do the opposite of everything it says."

"Ha ha. This is serious, Regan. I really don't want to be stuck here forever…Wait, what did you say?" Regan wrinkled her brows in confusion. "About the book," Teddy prompted.

"Um…"

"You said we needed a book telling you how to attract women. Twelve Failsafe Ways to Charm Witches!"

"Teddy, what the hell are you talking about?"

"It's a book. Doesn't help us at all—came out in the 90's—but I just realized something!"

"Do I even want to know?" Regan asked.

"Twelve Failsafe Ways to Charm Witches wasn't an original book. It was the companion piece to a book put out in the 80's—Twelve Failsafe Ways to Charm Wizards. There was a big lawsuit and everything."

"What are you getting at?"

"I knew I recognized your name. You and Ryan—you co-wrote Twelve Failsafe Ways to Charm Wizards."

"You're kidding me," Regan said with a laugh.

"No, I'm really not."

"I wrote a book?"

"With Ryan."

"I wrote a book?"

"A self-help book. It was quite popular. I've never read it, but—"

"Shut up, Teddy," she said with a laugh. "But I think I can help you now that you've boosted my confidence. I guess I can give you some tips on making girls hate you, Mr. Tonks."

Teddy looked at her sheepishly. "Lupin."

"What?"

"Lupin. Teddy Lupin." She shook her head in disbelief. "He's my father."

"Does he know?" Teddy nodded.

"Wow," Regan muttered.

"Now you know why I have to get things back to normal."

"I'll do what I can," Regan agreed.

"About what?" Sirius asked, appearing out of nowhere and sitting down next to Regan.

"Getting Lily and James together," Teddy answered easily.

"That's not the couple I want to see together," Sirius purred, staring into Regan's eyes and drawing small circles on her arm with his finger.

"Can I ask you a question, Sirius?" Regan asked seductively.

"Anything."

"Does that line normally work?" Sirius just watched, stunned, as she got up and left.

"Teddy," he muttered after she was out of eyesight. "Please tell me I'm better with the ladies in the future."

"Yeah, not really." Teddy got up and followed Regan out.
