Chapter Three: Teddy and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"

TLVWTLVWTLVWTLVWTLVW

The Deceased were shown the world of the Living once more. They saw a thirteen-year-old boy lying on a maroon and gold decorated full-size bed. The boy had honey blond hair, framing his square/heart shaped face and his turquoise eyes. His cute mouth was shaped into a determined frown that reminded the Deceased almost immediately of what Remus did when he was concentrating on something important. The boy was lying on his stomach with a thick book out in front of him propped up on a pillow.

Since the boy was just sitting there reading, Remus took time to look around his room. Three walls of the room was ever-changing picture of a forest. The other wall was a set colour, but changed just as frequently as the forest. The plainer wall changed colours as well, but stayed in a solid colour and had a desk attached with a computer on top. Next to the desk was a television with some funny looking boxes under it. What intrigued Remus the most about the basic wall was the multitude of pictures that adorned it.

To the left of the computer, there were pictures of James, Remus, and Sirius in their Hogwarts days, pictures of Tonks when she was younger and in her Hogwarts days, pictures of Remus, Tonks, and Teddy, Harry and Teddy, etc. To the right of the computer, there were newspaper clippings. One was the obituaries for Remus and Tonks, another headline was 'The Chosen One: Life After Voldemort 'and the picture showed Harry holding a two-year-old Teddy at the graves of Tonks and Remus. Some other clipping were the announcement of the marriages of each married couple in the Potter/Weasley clan, the birth announcements of their children, job promotions, and more.

Suddenly, it clicked in Remus' brain why they were watching this boy reading.

"Nym, that's Teddy!"

"What?!"

"Yeah, look at the wall that doesn't have a forest on it. The pictures are of us and Teddy, or you when you were younger, or me when I was younger, or Teddy and Harry."

And he was right. The main picture on the wall was one that Remus carried around with him even in death. It was the last photograph of him and Teddy together. Remus was tossing Teddy lightly in the air, and baby Teddy was giggling and every once in a while. Remus kissed Teddy, making him giggle even more. The picture was taken two days before Remus' and Tonks' death.

They heard a sob coming from Teddy's bedside. Teddy had closed the thick book he was reading and tucked in under his arm, leaving his bedroom in tears. He walked down the maroon and gold corridor and knocked on the cherry wood door. A muffled male voice came from inside the room, allowing Teddy to enter. The teary-eyed teen pushed open the door revealing Harry reading behind a large cherry wood desk. Harry pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and saw his upset godson. Teddy circled behind the desk, putting the book down on the desk as his godfather pulled him into his arms.

"What's wrong, Teddy?"

"I was reading – and – and – I miss them!"

Harry pulled his godson's crying form closer to his body, rocking him back and forth, and reached for the book Teddy was reading. The cover read "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". He carefully opened the book to where the bookmark was and saw what Teddy had gotten upset over.

"Teddy, I understand you miss your mum and dad. You know I know how you feel. If I could, Teddy, I would bring Remus and Tonks back for you; I really would. Unfortunately, you'll just have to settle for plain old me, whose way less interesting than your biological parents."

Teddy giggled and sniffled at the same time, causing both of them to laugh. Teddy looked lovingly at his godfather while his hair was a mixture of honey blond and turquoise. Harry wiped the few stray tears off of Teddy's face, smiling lovingly at the teen in his arm.

"I gave you that book for a reason, Teddy. I know you're having trouble understanding why your parents did what they did. Your dad explained it to me after he died and that's why I gave you this book. Ms Rowling does a really good job at explaining what happened in my life. And you're only about 98 pages from the end. You're dad explains why he did what he did in a few pages. You don't have to read it if you don't want to, but it might help you out."

"Thanks, Harry," Teddy whispered as he hugged his godfather. "You're the best godfather a multicoloured werepup could ask for."

Teddy and Harry laughed as Teddy kissed his godfather good night for the second time and tip-toed back to bed to sleep. Harry was behind his desk still and began tidying up as he spoke to no one on Earth.

"Remus, I'm sorry you were robbed of time with your son. He's amazing and funny and kind and sensitive, and so similar to you and Tonks. I know you miss him just as much if not more than he misses you, but you're probably having a blast up there with Sirius and my dad, driving my mum and your own wife up the walls and such.

"Teddy had a hard time going back to Hogwarts. He's in his third year, you know, and he got to go to Hogsmead last Halloween. I met him there and we went into the Shrieking Shack. He wants to be so much more like you, Remus, than anyone else that it drives him insane. We're repairing and restoring the Shack, so than more Lupins can enjoy having a memory of you in their life. But after being in the Shack a few times, he really began to miss you and Tonks even more than usual. He got really upset, wondering why you two left him. I explained it to him: it's an orphan thing. I felt the same way before I knew what really when on with my parents.

"Everyone's been amazing to Teddy. Molly and Arthur treat him as one of their grandsons. Bill has taken him under his wing. I guess it's the werewolf connection that makes their bond so strong. Charlie and Ron and George have been splendid to Teddy. Fleur, Hermione, Angelina, and Ginny treat Teddy as their son. And the kids refuse to accept that Teddy's not a real Potter or real Weasley, especially my kids. He's setting an amazing example for the kids, more specifically my three little munchkins. I guess that's what I get for naming one son James Sirius, the other Albus Severus, and my little baby girl Lily Luna.

"What I'm trying to say is that I'm doing the best godfathering I can. I never want to replace you in Teddy's life. Ginny never wants to replace Tonks in his life either. I know we'll never be his parents, and we don't want to act like we are. His friends freaked out the first time he introduced me as his godfather. They thought he was my biological son, and Teddy was quick to explain.

"He's a great guy, Remus. A lot like you and Tonks and the rest of the Marauders up there. He misses you so much, and loves you even more. I know you'd be so proud of him, Remus, cos I sure am."

And with that, Harry silently bid Remus good night, turning off the light as he left his office.

The Deceased returned to their lives. What Harry said stuck with Remus, and he found himself wondering what his son was doing, how he made friends, what house he's in, etc. Every once in a while, Remus had dreams of what Teddy's life was like, and everything was just fine (except for being an orphan).
