Teddy Lupin - Trouble In Time

Chapter 2

"I-I'm your dad?" Remus gasped, eyes still wide from shock.

"Yeah, you are." Teddy said.

"But that means...."

"You fall in love with Tonks." Mrs Weasley said happily.

"And knock up my cousin." Sirius said.

"And-"

"We die." Remus gasped. Everyone looked between him and Teddy with a worried look on their face.

"Is this all true?" Tonks asked, looking between her supposed family.

Teddy nodded solemnly. "I'm sorry. But, if you still don't believe me, here."

Teddy reached down the inside of his shirt and fiddled with something. He slowly brought out a necklace. The necklace was a chain with the name 'Remus' carved into it, and at the bottom was a wedding ring with white and pink stained crystal. Teddy held it out to his parents. Remus took it carefully and gasped. He was wearing a the exact same chain around his own neck.

"Wh-where did you get this?" Remus stammered, looking over sadly at the blue haired boy.

"You gave me the chain the night you two died. Mum gave me a bracelet, but I lost it when I was seven, so gran gave me mums wedding ring." Teddy said. Tonks now had the chain, tracing the ring with her finger.

"But you can't be my son." Remus cried. "I can't have kids. I swore I would nev-"

"But you did anyway. I wasn't exactly meant to happen but, I did anyway." Teddy said quickly. "So blame your balls dad. I can't conceive myself."

Sirius and many of the teenagers laughed loudly. Sirius put his arm around Teddy and smiled. "I like this kid!" he laughed.

"But if you're my son, are you a-"

"I'm not a werewolf. I just get incredibly grouchy and tend to hex anyone who pisses me off." Teddy said. To his relief and surprise, his dad smiled before hugging him. Teddy hugged back.

"Thank you." Remus whispered in Teddy's ear before letting him go.

"So, what is the future like?" a girl with frizzy hair asked. Teddy laughed as he realized it was Hermione.

"It is peaceful. Some Death Eaters around but apart from that, it's great." Teddy said.

"Can you tell us what happens?" a ginger haired boy said; Ron.

"Um, I'm not actually supposed to. I've said too much already. But they are my parents, I had to say something to them, at least once." Teddy said.

"Aw, but then again. We'll all live to see it. Don't we?" Sirius asked.

"Um, well. No, not really." Teddy said awkwardly, running a hand through his hair.

"Ok, apart from your parents that aren't your parents yet, we are all there." Sirius said excitedly.

"Well ... is everyone down here who is staying here?" Teddy asks.

"No. Harry is in a bit of a strop and is sulking in his room." Ron said.

"No he's not. He's right here." A voice said from behind them all. A boy with her black hair, emerald green eyes entered the room.

"Harry! How much have you heard?" Sirius asked happily.

"Most of it. So, this is your future son?" Harry said to Tonks and Remus.

"Apparently so." Tonks replied. "Shall we sit down then?"

Everyone nodded before sitting down, but only after some more chairs were added.

"Look, I dunno if Uncle Harry-" Teddy started

"What, me?" Harry said, surprised.

"Yeah. You're my godfather." Teddy said. "Anyway, I dunno if he'll be able to come and get me because I'm not even sure if he can travel back and then forward in time. Logically, he should be able to, but he has Lily to look after."

"Lily?" Remus, Harry and Sirius asked

"Yeah, your daughter." Teddy explained.

"I think you might need to explain all these future marriages." Remus said, looking at his son who was sitting opposite him.

"Um, well, i think should I start with the deaths. It'll be easier." Teddy said. When everyone nodded, Teddy started eyeing every face before speaking. "Ok, in short, there are about six of you here, I haven't met yet."

"Who?" Mrs Weasley asked.

"Well, there's my parents for a start. Next there is Mad-Eye," Teddy said.

Tonks's head snaps towards her mentor.

"No, but Mad-Eye is, is, Mad-Eye, he can't die." Tonks cried.

"Sorry mum, but it's true." Teddy sighed. "Next, Snape. He dies."

"Thank bloody Merlin." Sirius muttered under his breath.

Snape's face drained of what colour was there as the young mans words reach his ears.

"Then, Sirius."

"What!" Harry, Tonks, Sirius and Remus cry.

"But no, no I can't die! I'm too awesome to die!" Sirius cried.

"Hey, I didn't choose the future, ok." Teddy cried.

"So who else?" Tonks asked.

"Uncle Fred."

Nobody spoke. Fred and George stared at each other in horror. Mrs Weasley was holding her son in a protective hug, crying and shaking.

"Jeez mum. I'm not dead yet." Fred joked, but his face was solemn, but not as much as George's. He was going to lose his twin. His partner in crime. The one that shared his dreams and life.

"Is that it?" Sirius sniffed, face still pale from his know fate.

"Everyone here, yeah." Teddy sniffed.

"Everyone here? Who else?" Arthur asked

"....Dumbledore."

There was an uproar. Most yelling in disbelief, or yelling at Teddy for lying. Teddy bowed his head, he knew he should have kept quiet. Sirius noticed this and turned into his dog form, barking and growling loudly until they stopped yelling.

"Thank you." Sirius said once he was back to normal. "Teddy, if you could please carry on."

"I dunno what else to say. The only other death, is my grandad, Ted Tonks. That's who I was named after." Teddy said.

"Dad." Tonks squeaked, covering her mouth with her hands, a single, glistening tear rolling down her cheek.

"Sorry mum." Teddy said sadly, placing a hand on top of hers. She smiled, but her eyes still glistened with tears. "Before I start talking about marriages and other things, I think you might want to see this." Teddy said.

He dug around in his jeans pockets until he found what he was looking for. He brought out a crumpled coloured picture which was filled with many kids and some adults. Teddy pointed his wand at it and the picture grew to the size of a plate. Everyone gathered around Teddy and gasped.

"This was taken in summer." Teddy said.

"That's me." Harry, Ginny, George, Ron, Hermione cried.

"Who are the kids?" Molly asked.

"Those three there are James Sirius, Albus Severus, Lily Luna Potter; kids of Harry and Ginny," Teddy started, pointing out three kids. Harry and Ginny's faces turned deep red while Mrs Weasley hugged then both.

"Oh Harry! I knew it." She cried.

"Then there is Roxanne and Fred Weasley; kids of George and Angelina." Teddy continued, pointing them out. Fred and George looked sad and very surprised. "Then Molly and Lucy Weasley; daughters of Percy and Audrey, then Rose and Hugo Weasley; kids of Ron and Hermione." Like Harry and Ginny, the two blushed a deep red as everyone looked between them. "And finally Victoire, Dominique and Louis Weasley, kids of Bill and Fleur." Teddy finished. He smiled widely when he said Victoire.

"Wow, that's a lot of Weasley's." Sirius laughed. Everyone laughed, but Remus noticed his sons face and eyes, glancing down at a very pretty girl.

"She someone special?" Remus asked.

"Yeah, she is." Teddy said, smiling widely.

"Oooh. Teddy got a girlfriend." Fred teased, ruffling his hair.

"Soon to be wife, actually." Teddy said, glancing at the soon-to-be dead twin.

"Excuse me?" Remus cried.

"Yeah, proposed at Christmas. Everyone was happy, thought we are too young though, but they thought it was great," Teddy said, "and Molly was really happy that I'd finally be part of the family."

Molly blushed faintly.

"But, you're only nineteen. It's too soon." Remus said. "Do we need to have a talk?" Remus laughed.

"Nah. Won't be nothing I ain't done before." Teddy joked, winking teasingly at his dad. "Kidding. I'm kidding."

Remus sighed with relief.

"Or am I?" Teddy laughed.

Sirius started laughing loudly at Remus's uncomfortable face. He put an arm around Teddy and smiled.

"He is definitely you guys's son." Sirius laughed messing up Teddy's hair.

Tonks and Remus couldn't help but smile. Even though they weren't dating yet, deep down, Tonks knew her dreams were coming true....for now anyway.
