OK so lets all repeat it together – Grandma Beth is not JKR. JKR owns the HP universe. Grandma Beth makes no money from fan fiction.
If you get the food network, in the USA, watch the ace of cakes on January 24th. They did a hogwarts castle for the US premiere of HPOTP.
Teddy 4
August 2003
Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley were happily chasing each other around the family campsite on their toddler brooms. Kreacher sat near the fire, keeping a close eye on them. Despite it being August the children were bundled warmly. After all the world cup was being held in the Yukon territories this year.
Teddy knew that Weasleys were not't really his relatives. That the only family he had was Grandma Andromeda, but the Weasleys had always been a part of his life. His grandma had explained, "We all have a family we are born in to, you can't change that. If you are really lucky, and pay attention, you also get a heart family. People who love you and care about you. Teddy we are so lucky, you may be an orphan, but, you have Uncle Harry, the Weasleys, the Longbottoms, the Lovegoods, Uncle Dudley, Uncle Kingsley and the Grangers."
Teddy could hear Grandma Andromeda, Grandma Molly and Auntie Birdy's laughter coming from the nearest tent. Teddy was hungry! Uncle Harry had promised that they would be eating at the food tent Aunt Hannah had set up near Uncle Ron and Uncle Georges WWW marquee. But Uncle Harry, Grandpa Arthur and Uncle Percy were still not back yet.
Aunt Ginny had come back an hour ago exhausted from practice and interviews, she was napping in the tent that looked like a Union Jack. It had a sign "Ginny Weasley – chaser UK. Restricted area. Do not disturb. Violators will suffer from painful curses and be ejected from the world cup." Posted in front.
Teddy and Victoire knew a secret! Uncle Harry had told them this morning. Tonight he was going to ask Aunt Ginny to marry him! That meant that Teddy and Victoire could dress up, like they did for Uncle Neville's wedding, and walk down the aisle.
Teddy even was going to help Uncle Harry ask! Aunt Ginny had gotten Teddy a new quidditch action figure of herself in the England team uniform, flying on a broom. Teddy carried it with him every where. Uncle Harry had asked if he could borrow it tonight. Aunt Hermione was going to cause it to fly to Aunt Ginny and then a note was going to pop out of the end of the broom.
The adults were trying to keep it a secret. Some nasty lady named Rita was trying to find out all about Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny. She was what Aunt Hermione called a "reports her". And not a very nice "reports her".
Aunt Luna's daddy had gotten mad after nasty ol Rita had wrote that Uncle Harry had a fair with Aunt Fleur. He said that witches like her made all "reports hers" look bad.
Uncle George said that Uncle Xeno was a nice "reports her"! Teddy didn't know what was so bad about a fair, but when Uncle Bill had read it he had turned purple and said a word that Kreacher said that Teddy should never say.
Aunt Hermione had tried to suit her, but could not, Teddy didn't know why. Aunt Angelina said it was because nasty ol Rita was slippery, like an eel. That had made Victoire and Teddy laugh!
Finally! Here came Uncle Harry, Grandpa Arthur and Uncle Percy. Victoire squealed as her daddy appeared with a pop beside her, loosening his tie and removing his "banker robes".
Teddy was sitting very still. Kreacher had put him in to his good clothes and said for him not to get his clothes dirty while they waited for everyone else to get ready.
Victoire was sitting near the edge of the campsite playing. "Vat do you haz baby girl?" asked Victoire's mom.
"Bug mammon."
"Eww! Zat is dirty! Put its down!"
Kreacher snatched the bug from Victoire with a strange look on his face. With a smile Teddy did not like, Kreacher walked toward Aunt Ginny's tent and threw the bug at it.
Suddenly loud noises and purple smoke filled the air. All the adults rushed outside with their wands drawn. Loud pops filled the air as multiple witches and wizards, wearing work robes like Uncle Harry's arrived.
Aunt Luna had snatched Teddy up at the same time as Aunt Fleur had picked up Victoire. Teddy wiggled, trying to see around Aunt Luna's friend "Woof".
When Teddy could finally see, there was a witch lying on the ground near the tent covered in what looked like green and pink bumps. Bats were attacking her nose and her legs were looked like snakes! She was screeching "I demand that elf be punished! He deliberately injured me!"
Kreacher was cowering behind Uncle Harry's legs. As Aunt Hermione turned a shade of blue, Uncle Kingsley said "Why Rita he was just fulfilling his oath to the family he serves."
"Zat ess right! He was protecting my bebe!" added Victoire's mom.
Grandpa Arthur asked, "Isn't this your department Percy?"
"Why yes it is!" Uncle Percy was happier than Teddy had ever seen him. "Harry could we borrow a couple of aurors to escort Ms. Skeeter to St, Mungo's prison ward? Ronald would you have one of those wonderful new ankle bracelets you and George invented?"

A few notes: My math says this is the right year for the world cup. Since it is post 9/11 and the horrid subway and bus bombings in London, finding a place to enchant that is not covered by muggle surveillance would be difficult, thus the Yukon. Plus the added daylight would be helpful for a long game.
Heart family – this is a bit of my own philosophy. I have been blessed with a rich and wonderful heart family.
"Aunt Birdy" - Nevile's grandmother, think about her hat. "Woof" - Rolf.
Various other odd words – the many children it has been my pleasure to know have supplied me with an almost endless supply of "big words from a child's point of view" It also helps that despite what my driver's license says I'm 5.
Ankle bracelet. In my world Hermione and Ron have a TV and Ron came up with the idea after seeing the house arrest bracelets the muggles use. This bracelet prevents magical beings from doing any magic, and or transforming.
Finally, I have disliked Rita since the very beginning. It feels so good to set up her squishing!
