Authors note: Yeah, another chapter! I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
Two days after Harry gave Lily and Teddy "The talk" again, Teddy found himself pacing in his bedroom at his flat. He was trying to think of a present for Lily.
I could get her a new bat for Quidditch! No, James got her one… Oh I could get her a book on….no Hermione always gets everyone books or something. Fucking hell. Try as he may, he couldn't think of anything he could get Lily.
That's when it appeared.
Ted was still pacing when a small box on his bed caught his eye. He didn't know what it was, so he pulled out his wand and walked over to it on high alert. (He was an Auror after all) After performing a few spells to make sure it wasn't hexed or anything, Ted opened the lid.
Inside the small box were two necklaces and a few notes. One was clearly for a female wearer. Both pendent's had a small wolf on it. It looked as if the pendent's hocked together. So, Teddy put to pieces together. Once they merged, a saying in Latin was visible on the back of the pendent's. "Amorem morte carent."
Ted summoned one of the books on his bookshelf. He quickly found the English Translation. "Our love shall never die." Ted quickly pulled necklaces and put them back into the box. He picked up the notes.
The first one said:
Dear Teddy,
After your parents died, I found these and three notes. One was for me; just incase they ever died. The other two were for you to read when you found someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. I know for a fact that you can't think of a present for Lily. I have never read the notes that your parents left you, it was not my place.
Love your Godfather
Harry J. Potter
Teddy didn't know what to think. These necklaces were his parents. He picked up the letter that said, Teddy in a more feminine, yet messier handwriting.
My Dearest Son Teddy,
If you're reading this, then your father and I didn't make it through the war. The thought of note seeing you grown up makes me upset, but I know for a fact that Harry will defeat You-Know-Who. I do not dear write or speak his name, it is a taboo at the moment.
I write this right after giving birth. You are such a beautiful baby. I am so proud to call you my son. Your father cried when you were born, but they were tears of joy. For a few moments, we could forget that there was a war going on and that we could all die at any moment.
I just finished learning to feed you. We just found out that you have my gifts, and your father went to tell Harry about your birth. You are asleep, your hair is turquoise.
I'm sorry, I'm getting off track… I tend to do that…. The necklaces are something your father got after he pulled his head out of his bum and admitted that he loved me as well. When he gave me mine, I told him that he didn't need to get me a gift. But your father is a noble git, so he was hearing none of it. He put a few spells on it, and it is made of silver, to keep other werewolves away. If you put the pendent's together, it will say "Our love shall never die." in Latin. I kind of yelled at your father, because I had a feeling it cost a lot of money. (I later found out that your late grandpa Ted Tonks helped him pay for it)
I want you to give my necklace to your one true love. I will always love you Teddy, no matter what. Don't be as stubborn as your father, even if there is an age difference. Love is love.
Love
Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin Aka Mrs. Remus John Lupin, your mother
P.S. You're a Hufflepuff, I can feel it.
Teddy could feel the tears in his eyes, but he ignored them as he started to read his father's letter.
Dear Son,
I do hope that Harry will never have to give you this letter, but you never know with this damned war. If you are reading this, then you grew up without us, and you have found your true love/mate.
If you do know about werewolf mates, then I am truly sorry that I passed down my genes to you. I heard that it may not kick in until puberty though. I do know that your mother is my mate. I didn't want to admit it, that's why I wouldn't admit my feelings to your mother. I found out about it not long after the wedding, right before I found out she was pregnant.
When your mother told me she was pregnant, I was a coward and ran off. When I found Harry, he told me off. Now that I look back on it, I am thankful that he did. I love your mother and you as well. I'm fight because I want my son to grow up in a world where he won't have to worry about a job because he's a werewolf or the son of a werewolf.
I love you son.
Love
Remus J. Lupin
Ted broke down after that. He couldn't hold back the tears. After he got it all out, he put the necklaces back in the box and wrapper it. This was the perfect gift.
