Teddy 12
September 2, 2009
Teddy had remembered to owl his grandma that he had gotten in to Gryffindor, just before he went to bed last night. Just as the food appeared on the breakfast table, Bounty, and owls from all his uncles arrived with letters. Needless to say, one student getting that many letters caused quite a stir.
Professor Longbottom handed him his class schedule. "Ah Mr. Lupin I see you heard from the family!" Uncle Neville said with a wink. Teddy nodded and grinned. It sure was weird to hear his last name, but it made him feel grown up. He wondered if that was the way his dad had felt the first time a professor had called him"Mr. Lupin."
Sandy slid in to the seat next to Teddy and helped himself to a large portion of ham. "I wonder what's up with that lot?" He said, jerking his head toward the Slytherine table. Teddy turned to see what Sandy was talking about. The table seemed to be gathered around different students who appeared to be reading from some sort of newspaper. Teddy shrugged his shoulders and went back to eating, tucking his letters in to his backpack for later.
Classes went pretty well, he only got lost once when a stair suddenly changed direction. Lunch found him eating with one hand and laughing at a letter from Uncle Harry that had been filled with news of James. James had apparently tried to climb uncle Harry's book shelves in his den to get to the invisibility cloak. Aunt Ginny had forbid him to have a second piece of pie after dinner and he had decided to try to sneak down to the kitchen and get him some. All had gone well until he looked down and became terrified.
Afternoon found him with a free period, so he decided to sit outside and read a couple more of his letters. Cathan, Elizabeth and Lolly were sprawled out reading their letters too. Suddenly they were surrounded by Slytherine's Alphonse Skeeter was holding a copy of the "The Wizards weekly world report". "Look we've found the wareboy! " he sneered. "I told you my aunt was right. Hogwarts is putting us all in danger!" "That explains how he overpowered Kieran on the train." said a big dumb looking boy. "Let's put him in his place and whip him like a cur!" shouted a girl.
Teddy's friends tried to help but they were outnumbered. After a brief vicious attack the four of them were left beaten, bloody and unconscious.
"Poppy how could this have happened? I thought we fought the war so this sort of thing would never happen to our children!" Teddy could hear Aunt Ginny from very far away. "I thought that losing his mum and dad was all he'd have to suffer. I never thought someone could hate him, because his father was a werewolf!" Was that his Grandmother? What were they doing here? Why couldn't he open his eyes?
"Andromeda, Molly go get some rest, Arthur and I will sit with him a while." "Oh Harry have you found anything out yet? " Yes mum, the other young man came to long enough to identify their attackers as Slytherine. Headmistress Sprout suspects Rita Skeeter's nephew may have led the attack. Apparently Teddy was bullied on the train by an older Slytherine and was being rescued by a 2nd year Ravenclaw girl when the boy used a spell on her and Teddy knocked him out."
"Dennis, how's your niece doing?" "Much better, thanks." "Andromeda, Harry and I are so grateful she tried to help Teddy. We are just sorry anyone had to get hurt." "Ginny, Voldemort is gone and the sacrifices we made have improved our world. But sometimes stupid just can't be cured. The Rita Skeeters will always find a way to play upon predijuce to create evil."
Teddy wanted badly to wake up and get a drink of water. He was so thirsty, and he hurt all over. Slowly, carefully he opened his eyes. It was dark and he appeared to be in a hospital bed. He turned his head slowly to see if he could find a glass of water. "Teddy, oh Teddy , Mon petit garçon. Beel hurry geet Ginny and Harry he ess awake!"
School term 2009 - 2010
Teddy was in the hospital wing for a total of four weeks. Cathan, Elizabeth and Lolly had been hurt almost as bad as Teddy. Apparently an article by Rita Skeeter had started it all. Somehow she had gotten a picture of Teddy when he had been morphing his face to look like a fox to entertain Roxanne and made up garbage about him transforming in to a werewolf like his dad. If she had wanted to cause widespread panic among the parents of Hogwarts, she had failed. The only students that left had been her own nephew and 5 other Slytherines who had been expelled for endangering the life of other students.
There was never another incident anywhere near as bad as that one while Teddy attended school. It was as if the students and parents remembered why the war against evil had been fought and decided as one that, at least here and now, understanding and peace would prevail.
Aunt Hermione had successfully sued Rita and the rag she worked for. Both had been put out of business. Because of the monetary judgment, Teddy's friends would not ever have to worry about paying for higher education. In addition, a fund had been set up to finance a sanctuary for werewolves.
Christmas had been joyous, the rest of the school year flew by. Before he knew it, Teddy was on the beach at shell cottage with Victoire and all the cousins again.

That's it for now! I most likely will not update until Sunday. I'm going to hand over my laptop and I-pod to the son-in-law to see if he can fix what I messed up! Grandma Beth
