"Theodore Remus Lupin, Why are there Chocolate Frogs under your pillow? You know it makes a mess," said Victoire a bit impatiently.
"Now Vicky, you know that I always enjoy a midnight snack," Teddy answered his wife with a twinkle. He pointed his wand at the mess of melted chocolate and muttered, "Scourgify." The mess cleaned up immediately.
Victoire shook her head. "You're hopeless," she said, giggling.
"I can't help it if I love Chocolate Frogs. Anyways, chocolate is good for you."
"Yeah, right. You just say that so you can eat it."
"It is, ask Uncle Harry," said Teddy.
Victoire didn't know what to say. She knew that it was good to always have chocolate with you, especially if you're job will have frequent encounters with the Dark Arts. But still, Teddy didn't need chocolate under his pillow.
Victoire shook her head again. Teddy was stubborn, but then his parents also had been stubborn. She couldn't figure out which one was the more stubborn. To her anyways, it seemed as if Teddy's mum, Nymphdora Tonks had been the more stubborn, but barely. She had died before Victoire's birth, so she couldn't ever ask her mother-in-law.
Her father-in-law, Remus Lupin, had also died before her birth. In fact, both of them had been killed in the Battle of Hogwarts where her Uncle Harry had for once and for all destroyed one of the darkest wizards ever, Voldemort. The name used to bring fear, but now it didn't.
She was brought out of her musings by Teddy kissing her and saying, "I better get to the Auror office. There's a ton of paperwork right now since we've been so busy. I love the action, but the paperwork . . ." He groaned, kissed Victoire again, and walked over to the apparation point and apparated to the Ministry of Magic.
After he left, Victoire went to the kitchen to get something for breakfast, Teddy had gotten his much earlier. She wasn't that hungry and she felt sick to her stomach. She had been feeling this way for a little while, but hadn't wanted to tell Teddy because otherwise he would worry too much over her. She couldn't figure out what was wrong and since she didn't want to tell Teddy anything till she had figured it out, decided to Floo her mum, Fleur.
As soon as Fleur had gotten the message she Flooed over and took a quick look at her. "Victoire, I think I know what the problem is, but I have to do a quick spell to be certain. Is that okay?"
"Yes, mum. I want to know."
Fleur pulled out her wand and did a spell that Victoire had never seen before. "What is it, mum?" she asked.
"Victoire dear, your pregnant.
"What?" shouted Victoire.
"Pregnant, as in, going to have a baby," answered Fleur, amused.
"Teddy and I want children, but we didn't expect them this early. I can't wait until he gets home tonight so I can tell him."
"You could Floo over to the Ministry and ask to speak with him. Harry's head of the Auror office, so I'm certain he'll let you in, especially since it's about family."
"Okay," said Victoire. She walked over to the fireplace and threw in a handful of Floo powder. Sticking only her head in, she said, "Head Auror's office, British Ministry of Magic."
After the dizzying journey she soon as looking out at Harry's office. She looked around for a moment, then spotting Harry said, "Uncle Harry."
Harry was sitting at his desk working on paperwork and looked up when he heard the voice. "Victoire, what are you doing?"
"I need to talk to Teddy. I've got family news," Victoire answered with a smile.
Harry suspected something big, so he said, "All right. Come on over."
Victoire stepped into the fireplace and soon arrived in her uncle's office. "I assume you know where Teddy's office is," Harry said with a grin. Victoire had been here multiple times before to visit Teddy.
"Yes, of course I do. I'll try to be quick otherwise I'll take him from his work."
Victoire left Harry's office and walked down the hall to Teddy's office. She knocked and after hearing the come in, opened the door.
Teddy looked up quickly, expecting to see another one of the Aurors, and the surprise of seeing his wife was on his face. "Vicky, what are you doing here?"
"You definitely are like your godfather. He just asked me the exact same question."
"Just answer it. I'm dying to know why you're here."
"Well, I'm here because I have some news for you."
"It's not bad news, is it?" Teddy asked concerned.
Victoire smiled, she loved playing with her husband like this, but knew she had to get to the point. "No Teddy, it's not bad news. I'm pregnant."
"What?" shouted Teddy, leaping up from his chair and sending paperwork flying everywhere."
"Pregnant, I'm going to have a baby."
"I know that. But what I mean is, you're sure?"
"Yes, mum confirmed it only a few minutes ago."
"Wow, parents," said Teddy, sitting back down. "Want a Chocolate Frog to celebrate?"
"Is that all you can ever think of?" asked Victoire. "And yes, I think I will, but just one, okay?"
"All right, just one," said Teddy, trying to make it seem like he was grumbling, but failing. He reached into his desk and pulled out a bag of Chocolate Frogs and handed one to his wife.
Victoire opened the Frog and put it into her mouth. She wasn't that fond of Chocolate Frog's but was willing to eat them at the moment. She absently turned the card over, obviously expecting to see some old witch or wizard, but then she gasped. "Teddy!" she cried.
"What is it, Vicky?"
"Listen.
Nymphadora Lupin, nee Tonks
1973-May 2, 1998
Nymphadora Lupin, more commonly known by her maiden surname, Tonks, was a brilliant witch, Auror, and wife. She went to Hogwarts and after granduating, studied under Alastor Moody to become an Auror. During her career, she met and married Remus Lupin. They had one son, Teddy Lupin, and both of them were killed in the Battle of Hogwarts where Harry destroyed Voldemort. Tonks was also well known for threatening to hex anyone who called her by her given name, and she would do so.
"Wow, I'd not idea mum was on a Chocolate Frog card. I guess lots of people in the battle are on them," Teddy answered, amazed.
"Perhaps you haven't eaten enough of them," teased Victoire. "Here, you take it. You can put it with all the rest of the family cards."
"There certainly is a lot of them. I've started to lose track of which ones we've got."
"Well, since both your parents were famous enough to get on Chocolate Frog cards, you better get your work done well so you can get on one."
"Maybe, but there's a more important matter at hand. What should we name this baby?"
A/N Just fixing a rather major spelling error that a reviewer kindly pointed out. Thanks.
