Chapter 3: Flaming Weasley Red
Teddy had a huge "family". James, Albus, Lily, Rose and Hugo just being some of his many "siblings" that he saw in the holidays along with Andromeda, but that's the thing, they were "siblings" because he wasn't actually related to any of them, he didn't feel like he actually belonged. There was. However something that he could physically do to fit in.
Ron and Ginny watched the kids playing in the park, Teddy protested that he was too old now but he usually let himself be persuaded. He was currently giving a piggy- back to Rose while Lily clung to his leg like a limpet, trying to stop him from moving. Both of the little girls adored him.
"Aww look, he's changed his hair to red, said Ginny fondly, "Although he really shouldn't be doing it out here where a Muggle could see."
"I personally don't see why anyone would want this ruddy colour," grumbled Ron.
"I think I do," mused Ginny. "He wants to belong."
"With this rabble?" asked Ron, but he was smiling. Just then a passer-by, who had stopped to watch them, complimented the two on their lovely children; which set both Ron and Ginny into fits of laughter. When they had calmed down sufficiently, Ginny spoke,
"He may not be family now, but maybe one day, what with Victoire…" she left the sentence hanging in the air.
