I have dedicated a chapter each for Teddy and Daisy. This one is dedicated to Teddy Remus Lupin. Written as Diary Entries.
You will find some similarities between this chapter and the next chapter. But not everything is the same. We may be talking about two people from the same background, but they are two different individuals nonetheless.
Dear Diary,
I met you when Ginny and Harry Potter took me to Diagon Alley to get my school supplies. Mum and Dad are my biological parents. I'll introduce them in a bit.
I had received my Hogwarts letter yesterday. Ginny had held her hand to her mouth and cried when she held it. Harry had shed a few tears too. They were both ecstatic to see my Hogwarts invitation letter.
I caught a few words they said. "Professor Lupin…" This is my biological father, Remus John Lupin. Werewolf, Martyr, War Hero, Member of The Order of The Phoenix, Former Professor at Hogwarts, Former Marauder. "Nymphadora Lupin nee Tonks…" My biological mother. Martyr, War Hero, Member of The Order of The Phoenix, Former Auror.
There were Four Marauders. My father was Moony. Harry Potter's father, James Potter was Prongs. Harry Potter's Godfather, Sirius Balck was Padfoot. That deceitful rat, Peter Pettigrew, who betrayed all his friends, who sold Lily and James to Voldemort, who got Sirius Black locked up In Azkaban for years for a crime he did not commit, who made my father live through hell for years just because he happened to be a werewolf; that conniving little traitor was Wormtail. The Four Marauders created the Marauders Map, something Harry showed me once. It was a map of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade and showed the live location of people within the said area.
Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail were Animagi. They did that to support my father, Remus during his transformations. My mother, Tonks, on the other hand, was a Metamorphmagus. I inherited my Metamorphmagus abilities from my mother! It means I can change my form whenever I want and to whatever I want!
Up until I received my Hogwarts letter, I studied in a muggle school. My younger siblings all studied in that same school after me, and will do so until they receive their Hogwarts letters. We all receive our Hogwarts letters at eleven.
As soon as we went to the Leaky Cauldron, we didn't delay any further and immediately entered Diagon Alley. Harry already had money with him, so we didn't have to go to Gringotts Bank. Otherwise we might have had to.
Hermione Weasley nee Granger and Ronald Weasley and their children also stay with us.
It was a long day but totally worth it. Ginny and Harry took me around Diagon Alley, buying my books, uniform and other school supplies, but also buying me chocolates and ice cream. I got an owl. She is snowy, and Harry says she looks like Hedwig. Hedwig was Harry's snowy white owl while Harry was a Hogwarts student, but she died in the Second Wizarding War. I have named her MOON.
We returned home only to find Daisy and our other siblings sleeping. It suddenly hit home to me that in a few days time I will be sleeping in a dormitory far away from home. My grandmother, Andromeda Tonks passed away a few years ago. And now, I'll be away from both my Ginny, Hermione, Harry, and Ron. Believe me, I cried a lot that night. I held on to Ginny and refused to let go. I didn't want to be alone. I was scared and felt like I would be unloved or forgotten. I kept asking if I will be remembered. Ginny cried, saying "Of course everybody will remember you." Ginny had to let me sleep on her lap that entire night just for my sake, but she did it anyway. I have never felt like an unwanted orphan here, so the idea that I would be unloved or forgotten is absurd and stupid. But I did not know better back then!
Dear Diary,
As September the First approaches, I feel nervous. I know Ginny assured me that they will continue to love me and not forget me. That does soothe me a bit. I wonder which House I will be sorted into, and whether I will make lots of friends. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were known as the Golden Trio back in their time at Hogwarts. They had a solid friendship and were always seen together. They've been on adventures together. Later, Harry fell in love with Ginny, while Ron and Hermione fell in love. They say you meet your friends and soul mates at Hogwarts. I'm not sure if that's true. Anyway, good night.
DEAR DIARY
SEPTEMBER THE FIRST!!
I woke up at five in the morning. Ginny and Harry had helped me pack all my Hogwarts stuff into my trunk last night. Now, they were ready to take me to Kings Cross Station. Hermione and Ron will be joining us. I am eleven, grown up! I should take care of myself.
I had said goodbye to Daisy, Rose, Lily, James, Albus, and Hugo the previous night so they needn't be woken up early in the morning to bid me goodbye.
At the Station, Hermione and Ron hugged me and encouraged me. Ginny and Harry seemed to be trying too hard not to cry. I didn't want them to hold back, really. But, I guess they didn't want me to be nervous. They hugged me a little longer and kissed me goodbye. I said goodbye and went into my train. Next thing I know, the train had pulled off from Platform 9 .
First years traditionally go to Hogwarts from Hogsmeade Station by boat. As I sat comfortably in mine, I saw this glorious tower welcome me with open arms. I think I'm getting too poetic. The point is, I was amazed!
HUFFLEPUFF! I got sorted into Hufflepuff!! That was easily the best feeling in the world!
After the Sorting, I requested Professor Neville Longbottom to send an owl to Harry and Ginny to inform them about me. He happily assured me he would do the same. He teaches Herbology by the way, and was Harry's Gryffindor dorm mate and classmate back in his school days.
Professional McGonagall personally gave me the time table and smiled at me. I know that sad smile too well. She was, of course, remembering my Mum and Dad, the Marauders, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and the other Weasleys. She must have been remembering the Wizarding Wars. I smiled back, and distinctly heard her sniff as she turned away to go back.
Dear Diary,
I saw Victorie Weasley today. She is my cousin, well since Harry and Ginny are my Godparents and adoptive parents.
I have seen her since she was a newborn baby. There is a photo of me about one and half years old holding her as a newborn baby while Aunt Fleur is behind us ready to catch the baby if I drop her.
There was something different about Victorie today, however. Her silvery blonde hair and blue eyes caught my attention. I suddenly have something within me I have never felt before. That something is strongly directed at her. When I told Harry, he said I'm just feeling protective of her. If this is just protectiveness, why don't I feel so strongly for Daisy, James, Rose, Albus, Hugo, and Lily? Afterall I feel protective of them as well.
