It was a dark night, dark and raining to be exact and one boy in all of the wizarding world can't sleep. how can he, it was raining, the full moon was the night before and he did not eat anything because of this. However, he did not tell his father this, for he did not want to. This boy's name is Edward Remus Lupin, but people call him Teddy. Or to his dad, cub. Teddy sighed as he laid his head down on his pillow and closed his eyes for the fourth time that night. However, he could not go to sleep. Teddy then let out a small noise and got out of bed and walked over to his desk. Then he started to write to his friend Victoire Weasley. He knows that she was asleep, but he needed something to do if he can't sleep. however, while he was writing this the door opened. In the doorway stood his father looking worried and maybe a little tired but that did not matter. "Teddy?" His father asked as he stood in the doorway with Teddy turning around fast with a tired look in his eyes.
"Hello," Teddy said with a small smile, but it did not reach his eyes which his dad, Remus saw.
"What is it, Teddy? Can't sleep?" Remus asked as he walked over to his young son who is starting Hogwarts in the fall. Teddy looked up at him with his wide eyes and nodded not saying anything. Remus sighed and walked a little bit closer. "Can I ask why?" Remus asked carefully and in a quiet voice, but his son heard it all the same. The half-wolf sighed but he did not say anything for a while. Which made Remus a little nervous. His son then sighed again and closed his eyes for a minute before he opened them again and said:
"I'm worried that mum. is not proud of me," this is not the reason why he could not sleep but he wanted to get this off his chest. Remus looked at his son with the same look as his son, tired and a little bit sad. Then he let out a breath and smiled at him.
"Of course, she would be. Teddy, what makes you think that?" Remus asked as he puts his hand on Teddy's shoulder with a bigger smile when his son's hair change to match his mothers. "Ted, what would she not be proud of. That's the real question," Teddy smiled at his father, but Remus could still see something in his son's amber eyes. "Teddy, what is it?" Remus asked when he saw his son look away with shame in his eyes. He then saw his son take a breath and then looked back at him with his eyes turning blue.
"I can't sleep on the full moon's and I have not eaten since two days ago. This is why I don't think mum would be proud of me," Teddy said with tears in his eyes as he looked away from his father again. Remus looked at him and sighed also. However, he did not say anything as he nodded slowly and walked over to Teddy's bed with Teddy nodding when Remus patted next to him. Teddy walked over and sat down without saying anything.
"Teddy. Do you think that I'm mad about that?" Remus asked Teddy when he looked at Remus. Teddy sighed and nodded slowly without meeting his eyes. Remus sighed and nodded but he smiled a little. "I'm not mad at you. Teddy, why do you think that? Why would your mother not be proud of you? Is it because of this?" Remus asked Teddy who did not say anything. Remus hummed and then nodded as he looked at the picture of Tonks on Teddy's nightstand and smiled sadly.
"Dad, why am I like this?" Teddy asked after a while making Remus look at Teddy with sadness in his eyes, but he did not say anything for a while for he did not know how to respond to this. Then he took a deep breath and said:
"You are my son; Ted and I don't care what you are like and to answer your question: You are like this because you are special. No other boy is like you. why should you be like anyone else," Teddy smiled at this and nodded. "Now I think Sirius will be home soon. Do you want to make some hot cocoa and wait for him to come home?" Remus asked with a smile making Teddy smile. Then he hugged his father and they walked out of the room.
