Hey guys there is some French text in this chap translations will be by the text' side 🙌🙌

"Well?" started Elizabeth, loud so the lot could hear her, she didn't like change- she hated it- Liz believes that if something isn't broken you shouldn't fix it, and the situation these kids had gotten themselves in was certainly a change from her usual routine. Everyone was outside in the garden. The teenagers all stood/sat along with the flowers, except for five. Rose and Scorpius whereby the doors' right side talking in a hushed tone, Dominique and Roxanne somewhere inside, and lastly Victoire who was as far as possible from the group, she stood with the adults by the doors left.

"What's the matter, Lizzie?" Asked Albus not moving from his spot "Something is wrong with Victoire and Teddy" she started looking at Vic and then turning her attention to the now brown-haired 20-year-old "What do you mean?" "Look at her Al, she's far from teddy. When has she ever been far from Teddy?" Albus has to admit the golden-haired girl had a point the two always acted as if they were attached by the hip, she pointed to Ted. "I kissed her." He said walking up to Liz "Tu fait quoi?" [you did what?] Asked Luis as protectively as he could manage -being the younger sibling and all- "Calme toi, gamin" [Calm down, kid] hissed Dominique smirking

"I mean- it was an accident. Dom pushed me!" The young Lupin heir pointing a finger to the curly haired girl "Only because you are too scared to snog her," she noted "Wait! Why is this such a big deal?-" started one of the many, many redheads in a teasing tone as his twin brother continued "-Here we were thinking they fancied each other," finished Fred pointing at him and George.

"I- no I don't - I don't fancy her- I mean. She is perfect- and.. she's just my friend. I don't fancy her" Stuttered Teddy, all his energy and focus was in keeping his hair brown so he wouldn't give his blush and embarrassment away "Eh bien, Je vous avais envie toi. Pardon" muttered Victoire pushing past everyone and going back inside

"Wrong move, mate." Pointed Ron. Ted looked down he reckoned his young uncle was right. When Victoire was sad or uncomfortable she began making excuses in French every single time, ever since the first time she spoke, the boy thought it was the most adorable thing -like everything else about her, according to him- however, he couldn't find the way or the right words to tell her.

    "We ought to call them," Said Hermione a couple of hours later. Albus sat up from the sofa, and for just for a moment he forgot '2:46 p.m December 15, 1995.' He recalled looking at the watch in his passed uncle's arm 'Great.' "They've been worried for the past day and a half" she added, everyone else agreed with her. "Lily's phone is dead." Mumbled Lysander sleepily "We've got Teddy' bracelet" "This bloody thing is sure coming in handy" Sighed Ted placing the silver thing on a table after tapping it trice. "Hey, Harry," "Teddy! You lot had me worried," "Sorry Dad," "It's quite alright, Lily. Everyone's here!" The future Harry said with fake cheerfulness, even though everyone saw right through his act.

     "Just two more hours!" Exclaimed Ruby, only the very top of her brown hair visible. 'Uncle Harry set his bracelet in a high counter' reckoned Rose "Ruby! Never thought I'd say this but, i miss you little sister" Laughed Lily pushing past the crowd to see her family better. "Love you too," Grinned the little girl,

     "On a more serious note," he began "Five of us are going to get you. Who should be the ones to go?" A blonde man walked into the screen and whispered something to Harry "Sure," "Hey Edward, do you mind passing it to Scorpius?" Asked Draco stepping forward "Yeah sure, but I've told you a million times to call me Teddy-" the man nodded "- you are my cousin after all" he grinned "Next time, Edward." Smiled Draco

"Father." Nodded Scorpius looking straight up "At noon yesterday. Your mother breathed your name, and with that, she died. Astoria dedicated every day to you, she changed my life. After the war, she made my life worthwhile" Rose stepped forward smiled kindly at Draco and grabbed Scops' hand "And, Scorpius, when you smile I know a part of her lives on. I know I can go on, and so you must." Finished the blond man a tear escaping his eye wanting nothing except to hold his son

"Dad." Began the boy holding Rose' hand tightly "I love you" "I love you too Scorp, so go enjoy the time you've got left with the past people- that will never stop being weird- And Scorpius" Scorpius looked at his dad wondering what else he had to say "Yes," "Do me a favour and treat Rose right, like I know you will." "He does," Said Rose "Thank you, Mr Malfoy" "He better!" Screamed the future Ron, looking back to notice his wife's stare he corrected his attitude "Glad it's you and not another git that's got my daughters heart"

  "Don't want to break the family party. But," Began future Harry walking up with Ginny and Ruby by his side "You're going to anyways" "Yes, Ron, we need to choose the five people that will come and get the kids," "I want to go!" Volunteered Molly II, Lucy and Ruby at the same time "No! You three are still in big trouble for trying to steal the time turner Percy's car- which by the way dad not cool-" "Sorry, honey" said an old voice from somewhere in the room "I think Daddy should come" Said Lily sweetly "Of course Darling"

  "I see what you mean, she's got him wrapped around her finger." Whispered Sirius grinning to James Sirius who smiled with his arm around Alice' hip. Neville stepped up to the 'camera' "Harry, if you don't mind I interrupt" "Go ahead" "Hey, are you okay? Elizabeth? Alice? Frank? Albus?" "We're alright," Said Albus signalling to him and Liz, Neville smiled and furrowed his brow looking at Frank. The brown-haired boy was frowning leaning on the wall his puffy red eyes were covered by his hair,

"M'fine" he muffled hardly believable. Now it was George's turn to walk toward the camera and look questionable at the young adult "Frank? Is Roxanne alright?" "Ask her" he spit glaring at the floor "I-I'm fine Dad," Said the girl from just outside the call "How about you Freddie?" He asked, "We're great!" Said the two Fred's grinning, George [future] smiled weakly and took his old spot in the couch right by his beloved wife.

  "James? Is there something you wish to tell me?" Asked Neville looking directly at James' arm "I-i no, So... Hey um so this is... Professor" stammered the boy "It's all good James, don't get her into trouble" "I won't, sir" agreed the boy gaining his confidence back in a matter of seconds"No need to call me sir, James" Alice smiled at her day and interlocked her hand with James' "Harry, I think 'Mione should go," suggested Ron at which Hugo grinned stopping his wizards chess game -with Lorcan- "Yes!"

"Should Ginny go too?" Asked Harry looking at her brothers "I can make my own decisions, Har-" argued the redhead woman rolling her eyes lightly. At the same time Bill stood protectively with Ron  "No." they said and so Fleur stepped up to calm her husband down "Mon Amour," [love,] she said grabbing his arm "Alright then. Why don't you choose someone, kids?" Smiled Harry [Future] calmly "How about you, Mr Malfoy?" "Oh I'd love to" Began the man "but I don't think they want to see me, sorry Rose"

"Mamman.." [mum] "Louis?" "Oui. Just wanted to tell you: Teddy embrassé Victoire. Je le dis en français, parce que tu sais comment papa peut être."  [Yes. Just wanted to tell you: Teddy kissed Victoire. I'm saying it in English, because you know how daddy can be.] "commère!" [tattletale!] Shouted Victoire stepping into the room "Ok, stop that. You know I don't like it when you three speak French, I can't understand" Complained Bill. Dominque laughed standing up "Louis said that Teddy-" When the girls' sister ran and covered her mouth. Dom muttered a few words but all that came out was a sound that no one could make out

"Teddy did what?" Harry Asked smiling at Teddy who blushed as his haired turned pink "Nothing.." answered the 20-year-old "Edward Remus Lupin, is it something that got you hurt?" Worried Ginny looking at teddy "No, Gin" he answered scratching the back of his neck watching Victoire drag Dom from the room where everyone was "Is it something that got someone else in trouble?" She continued trying to get a straight and clear answer "No.." "You'll tell me later?" She finished smiling, finally noticing that Teddy's eyes were only looking at one place and it wasn't it her. Victoire, "Of course," He grinned nervously changing his hair back to blue, "As you where.."

Hey lovely readers
Just finished!
Finally,
Next chapter is the last one so I'll save my whole cringe speech for then ...
This one is a long one
Also, the reason I make teddy struggle with his abilities despite being twenty years old is that I've noticed that there are no others with his ability at least not in his life and whilst McGonagall is very skilled and could probably help him I just wrote it like this.
Anyways comment, vote, and/or follow me <3
Love~Chloe
