Chapter 6: Devil Brides and Triplets

December 16, 1996; Past

"Watch your language, Ree, there are kids here," Teddy reprimanded a young woman with purple plum hair.

"Seriously, where are we?" Another woman cut in, looking disgusted. It took a minute for everyone from the past to realize there were three other people in the room. The woman who spoke, a pretty girl with long straight black hair and bright blue eyes, a young enfant who looked about four or five with bright green hair and a boy who looked about sixteen with dirty blonde hair who looked remarkably like Neville Longbottom.

"The Burrow," Teddy said, he quickly filled them in on where they are. "So, how did you get here?"

"Oh, that's easy," said the girl who swore. "Where you disappeared at the Potters' a portal opened up. Goldy tripped and sent us flying in too. Fun, right?"

"Yeah, really fun, Reese," the black-haired girl said scathingly.

"Oh, lighten up, Drama Queen."

"Maybe if you stop being such a - "

"Such a what? Go on, finish that sentence."

"Ok, enough. Stop it," Teddy said, wrapping his arms around the "Drama Queen" and leading her to the kitchen to make introductions.

Fifteen minutes later, once everyone had been rounded up in the kitchen, they made their introductions.

"Hi," the blonde boy said. "I'm Frank Longbottom, son of Luna and Neville Longbottom. I'm sixteen and in Ravenclaw."

"Hi," the second beautiful girl resembled an angel and it took everyone a second to figure out why. Her hair was a light gold color that seemed to radiate light. "My name is Goldy, actually it's Sara Anne Lupin, but due to my stubborn hair color, people always call me Goldy," she shrugged. "I'm twenty-one and I'm Teddy's sister."

Everyone turned to Teddy and he shrugged. "Sorry, forgot to mention you," he smiled.

"You forgot to mention that there were two of you?" Remus asked weakly.

"Three actually," the girl with the purple hair chirped. Remus promptly passed out. After he was reawaken with a faint "Wow, he can't stomach much, can he?" from plum girl, a dirty look from uptight black-haired girl and a spell from Tonks, they resumed the introductions.

"I'm Reese Mallory Lupin, Teddy and Goldy's triplet. I was a Gryffindor and this," she said, pulling the little girl who looked a lot like her but she was more adorably cute than beautiful with blue hair now, closer to her, "is Bel."

"I'm Bel," everyone swooned as the cute little girl smiled and continued, "Annabel Marie Lupin, I'm five," she held up four fingers and Reese corrected her. "This is my mommy." She pointed to Reese, who just smiled and plopped her on her lap.

"I'm Rachel Weston, Teddy's fiancée," the black-haired girl held up her hand to reveal a pretty diamond ring. While everyone smiled and congratulated her, Tonks looked at the people from the future and realized their smiles had become rather fixed. Victoire looked especially upset and Goldy looked as though she were really trying to be supportive but there was one person not even bothering to try to hide her displeasure. Reese was glaring at her with a look of anger on her face. Deciding to figure out what her problem was, Tonks turned her attention back to the happy couple. As she turned away, she vaguely heard her mutter, "Congrats Devil Bride."
