April 1998, Teddy Lupin is born. Tonks kept insisting that I visit them, I did around a week later. He was adorable, with eyes that flickered different colours in time with his hair. I don't think that I had ever seen a couple so happy, they were all teethy smiles and baby voices; to say it didn't break my heart a little when I looked at him would be a lie, it shattered. A million tiny shards that stopped my heart mid beat, but it helped at the same time. Helped me seeing it wasn't all bad I guess.
When the tiny baby changed his hair colour ginger that didn't help me much, the little baby didn't know, and he probably never would. In some weird way that helped.
