Prologue

Teddy stared around his room for the last time. Since the beginning of last year his room had changed quite a bit. Duelling team posters had replaced the Qudditch posters, hundreds of Daily Prophets were scattered across his desk, an old carton of Every Flavour Jellybeans sat empty on his bedside table, new pictures had been added to his mirror.

A picture of him and the boys, who his father had yet to meet, one of him and Professor Slughorn at his Christmas party- which Slughorn had 'kindly' sent him, his win at the Inter-school Duelling Championships and lastly of him, Remus and Tonks. The three were standing in front a small church in a quaint little town north of Scotland. They all looked happy.

The rest of the room on the other hand had transformed dramatically in a number of hours. All of his clothes, books, the Marauders map, quills and parchment were all packed up into a small rucksack. The rucksack had a special charm, that Hermione had thankfully taught him, allowing it to hold more content then it should be capable of.

His hand reached forward to the mirror, plucking off each moving picture and putting it inside the front pocket of his bag. Teddy then picked up his wand, which was resting on his newspaper covered desk, his eyes skimmed a few of the familiar titles at he did.

'Muggle-born Death Tolls Increases'

'Muggles Dropping Like Flies!'

'New Minister For Magic Elected!'

Teddy stopped for a second, leaning forward to read further.

'When asked about the future of the Wizarding World and how the Ministry intends to respond to the
uprising of the infamous You-Know-Who,
newly elected Minister for Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, had this to say.

"These are dark times, there is no denying. Our world has perhaps, faced no greater threat
than it does today.
But I say this to our citizenry:
We, ever your servants will continue to defend your liberty,"'

Teddy let out a shallow scoff, his eyes flicking to another headline.

'Ministry passes Werewolf Legislation'

With his grip becoming firm on the table edge his green eyes stared back at the previous Prophet issue.

'"We, ever your servants will continue to defend your liberty
and repel the forces that seek to take it from you.
Your Ministry remains strong!"'

"Teddy, you ready?" Tonk's voice came from downstairs. He didn't respond, instead he stared at the paper for a few minutes then picked up his backpack, walking towards his bedroom door. But before he walked out the doorway he turned around, giving one last look at his small, yet perfect bedroom. The hammock, once his favourite place to hang, looked sad, swinging left to right with no one inside it.

His eyes tried to taking in even inch of his room, hoping one day that he'd see it again.

"Teddy?" Tonks stood at the end of the hall, watching him quietly. Teddy remained silent, then he turned around. He was dressed in a pair of long jeans, a brown shirt with the name of his favourite duelling team, 'Violet Vixens', on the front, a jumper was tied around his waist and his wooden wolf necklace, that he'd been gifted in his third year of Hogwarts, hung around his neck as usual. "You okay?"

"Never better." He replied with a smile, but his eyes were hollow, having known much pain.

"Remus is waiting for you downstairs. I'm just getting something before we leave."

Teddy nodded, looking at Tonks. Her hair was chestnut brown and she was dressed in dark clothing so to not stand out. Around her fourth finger with a simple, yet dashing, golden ring. "Alright. Thanks, Mum." He said, taking the stairs two at a time. The word sounded odd in his mouth, but he was happy to be saying it to Tonks, although it was hard to see her as a parental figure.

Remus was standing in the kitchen, leaning of the same Prophet issue as Teddy had been moments ago. He looked up when he heard Teddy descending the stairs. "Got everything?"

"Yeah, Dad." He let his rucksack fall to the ground beside the staircase.

Remus watched him. Teddy was now seventeen, meaning he was officially an adult in the wizarding world. It was scary to watch a child grow up in such a dangerous time in history, and Remus feared the day the two would be separated and would have to go their separate paths.

Teddy had already gone through more than any boy his age should have, yet it was only the beginning.

Teddy wasn't going back to school that year. Now that Dumbledore was gone, Hogwarts no longer felt like a safe place in Remus' eyes and he had refused to send Teddy back there for his seventh and final year. Of course, Teddy had fully supported the idea, he wanted to help the Order as much as he could.

He did though have one reason to wish to visit Hogwarts again and that was his friends. All four boys' parents were sending them back for their final year. Teddy guessed some still believed Hogwarts to be a safe place even after the Headmaster's death.

Arkie, however, had said that she wasn't sitting out of the fight and would be meeting them all at the rendezvous. "Got your wand?" Remus asked for the fifth time that night and Teddy nodded, pulling back his jumper to display his wand holster. "Keep it in hand, we're leaving once Tonks comes back downstairs."

Teddy did so, taking it out of the holster and hiding it tightly in his palm. "How will we be getting to Privet Drive?"

"Apparition. We'll be meeting the rest of the Order there." Remus walked around the kitchen table towards his one and only son. "Are you sure you're ready for this, it's a lot we're asking of you-"

"Dad," Teddy pulled down Remus' hands which had been aiming to touch his cheeks gently. "I'll be fine. I'm sure everything's going to go as planned."

Remus didn't look convinced, but the comment did help. "I'll send Mad-Eye a message then, telling him we're on our way." He pulled out his wand. "Expecto Patronum!" A misty grey wolf, which matched Tonk's Patronus, soared out of the cottage and into the night sky.

There were footsteps on the staircase and Tonks pulled on her travelling cloak as she descended. As she reached the end of the stairs she tripped over Teddy's rucksack but was able to pick herself up. "Sorry." Teddy apologized, picking it up.

"Alright, is everyone ready?" Remus asked, brows furrowed.

"Ready." Both Teddy and Tonks said together.

Crack!

The cottage was empty, as it would be for a long time, and the lights blew out.
