Watchers

1 Year Later

Harry was sitting with baby Albus Severus on his lap. Ginny sat next to him, watching over the three year old James Sirius. James Sirius was playing with his toy broomstick. Teddy Lupin was talking to Harry. Tonks was listening, but Remus walked over to James, in the kitchen.

"James Sirius is bound to be a quidditch star," James told Remus.

"Yeah. Both Harry and Ginny played good quidditch." Remus said.

"And he's related to me."

"Harry didn't lose a game for two years. Then of coarse, he got knocked off his broom by a dementor..." Remus trailed off. "I taught him how to fight dementors. He wanted to learn. He said every time a dementor came close to him, he heard you and Lily die."

"What's with all the depressing thoughts?" Sirius said, walking into the room.

"Hmm, Moony?" James looked at him. Remus walked back into the living room. Tonks was crying.

"What happened to my mum and dad?" Teddy asked Harry. Harry looked at Ginny. James and Sirius looked at Remus, who had tears rolling down his cheeks. Ginny gave Harry a slight nod. Harry had learned how his parents died when he was eleven, but Teddy was only eight. This question had never come up before, and Harry dreaded the day it would come.

"They died fighting," Harry whispered. He hated talking about people who died fighting Voldemort. "They fought in the second Wizard War against Voldemort." Tonks was sobbing loudly. Now, even James had tears in his eyes.

"A fighter? We're they both fighters?" Teddy asked, showing no hint of sorrow. Harry attempted to smile.

"They were both fighters. I didn't know you're Tonks... er...Nymphadora... ehm... you're mother very well. She did fight Voldemort though. She was very brave." Harry said. Tonks smiled a watery smile. "You're father, Remus Lupin was a friend of my father." James looked at Remus.

"So he was really old?" Teddy said. Sirius chuckled.

"Err... yeah... kind of..." Harry said, smiling. "When I first met him, he was a teacher. A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. One of the best ones we had. He only stayed at school for a year though." Teddy looked interested.

"Why?" Teddy, for some odd reason, was not a werewolf like his father. Remus was very thankful for that, but he still wished Teddy didn't know he was one. Harry looked at Ginny once more, who nodded again.

"He was a werewolf," Harry said. Remus let out a sob. James patted him on his back. Sirius looked solemn and Tonks cried her heart out. Now Lily entered the room.

"A werewolf? My dad!" Teddy said, shocked. Remus didn't know if Teddy was horrified or if he thought it was cool. "That's so awesome!" Even Harry let out a sign of relief. "Did he bite people?" Remus sobbed harder.

"No. He was a nice werewolf." Teddy looked a bit disappointed with Harry's answer. "Anyways. After he was a teacher he worked in the Order of the Pheonix- a group of people who fought Voldemort. Albus Dumbledore was the leader. Al is named after Albus Dumbledore."

"Was dad any fun? Or did he only work? Uncle Bill told me all he did was work," Teddy said. James, Sirius and Tonks smiled. Remus attempted to smile.

"From what Sirius told me, he was all work." Harry said. "Sirius told me that all Remus ever did at school was homework, but I'm not quite sure how true that is. Sirius liked to exaggerate."

"Me? Exaggerate? Never!" Sirius pretended to be offended.

"Who is Sirius? Wait... wasn't that the one they played pranks on?" Harry had told Teddy a few stories about Remus, but never how he died until today.

"That was Severus Snape. Sirius wasn't the biggest fan on Snape. I Sirius was also Remus's friend and also died fighting Voldemort. He was my godfather." Harry said, looking sorrowful.

"Did my dad have purple hair?" Teddy said, putting his hand in his own, purple hair.

"Probably at one point... Sirius or my dad, James, probably gave him purple hair once. Your mum had colorful hair though." Harry said.

"Did Sirius and James bully dad?" Teddy asked. Teddy loved asking questions.

"Um... yes... probably. All I really heard about their childhood adventures as the 'Marauders' came from Sirius. You can never really take Sirius's word for some of the stuff he talks about..." Harry said.

"Did you're parents ever tell you about him?" Teddy asked. Harry looked down. James and Lily stared at Harry.

"My parents were like yours. The died fighting Voldemort when I was baby." Harry said. Lily now started sobbing. Harry hadn't spoken about his parents death for years.

"Do you know anything about them?" Teddy asked.

"Well, I have watched memories. According to my mum, James was an arrogant, bulling toerag." Harry said. Lily sobbed some more and Remus smiled at James. "James was handsome, but not nearly as handsome as Sirius, but of coarse Sirius said that. My mum, Lily, according to Sirius, only spent her time studying and tattling." James hit Sirius's arm.

"It's true!" Sirius laughed. "You know it is!"

"Lupin... er... Remus said my dad had quite a big head and was a quidditch star and he said my mim was always the top of the class at everything."

"MOONY? Big head?" James whined. Remus laughed.

"According to Severus, my dad was arrogant and spent his time strutting around the school and was never nice to anyone. He never really talked about my mum though."

"Nobody said anything nice about me?" James pretended to be angry.

"I said you were handsome! Just not as good looking as me!"

"Not as good looking as you? You're a dog!" Sirius pretended to be offended by what James said.

"Do you ever feel sad?" Teddy's question took Harry by surprise.

"When I was younger I used to. Now I don't really feel as sad. I have my own family now. I truly felt the most sad when Sirius died. He was the only one who understood me." Harry said, with tears in his eyes. Sirius, James, Lily, Remus and Tonks were all crying now. "How about you?"

"Sometimes. But I have a family. They died for something important, though. I still feel a little sad..." The watchers sobbed. Now even Ginny was crying, silently.

Sorry for ending the chapter on such a sad note. I really felt like I needed this conversation in here. The next chapter will be happier, I promise. Please keep reviewing! It inspires me to write more. :)
