The next ones

Charlie's POV
Soon after Teddy left, she stirred. Her beautiful green eyes opened and she smiled widely when she saw me.
"Dad!" She went to get up but I went to her, hugging her.
I straightened up and introduced Susan who explained everything again.

"I'll leave you two alone so you can talk it through, I'll be with Minnie when you've reached your decision." She smiled and left.

"How are you feeling?" I asked her.
"Scared, worried but excited all at the same time."
I chuckled, "your my daughter you'll be fine." I laughed as she did, "but do you want to go? Find out who you really are? It's a big step."
"I do dad, I really do want to go and find out what power I hold." She said.
I nodded slowly. She wanted this.
She studied my face, "you don't want me to go do you?"
I shrugged and she hugged me, "I'll always be your princess dad."
I kissed her head, "and you'll be treated like a queen one day princess." She giggled shaking her head. "Now you get some sleep and I'll tell Susan you're going to be accepting."
She nodded and I left her.

Teddy's POV
The second I saw her dad leave I dived back into the room.

"Lydz" I said.
"Teds what are you doing here?"
"Who was she?" I asked.
"She's going to help me become my true self, apparently I have other powers."
"So you're having more classes?" I asked
She shook her head, "I'm leaving for 8 months."
"You're leaving!" My heart broke slightly.
"Yes but I'll be visiting, what are you going to miss me?" She giggled.
"Miss you. No way." I said sarcastically "Why would I miss my best friend. You are taking my hoodies though." I insisted.
"No Teds I'll be ok."
"No you will take my hoodies, you and I both know how cold you get." I laughed and so did she.
"Come here you." She said pulling me into the hospital bed.

I slipped under the covers and we just held each other. This felt natural and normal. I felt home.

"I'll miss you too Teddy bear." She whispered.
"When are you leaving?"
"I'm not sure yet." She replied sleepily. I kissed her forehead as she snuggled into my chest.

I was at the Potters playing with Harry's kids in the snow along with him and Gin.
That's when James called out to me, "she's back!"
I turned and saw a gorgeous woman running towards me. Her hair was mid back I noticed as she jumped into my arms, quite literally, and placed her lips on my own. She kissed me with such a passion and I only returned the passion... she pulled away and I noticed how her eyes shone bottle green, her lips were full and she smelt incredible. Chocolate and sexy perfume.
"I missed you too Lupin." She sent a wink.
I knew that voice and those eyes.
Lydia.
"Not as much as I missed you Weasley." I found myself saying.
"Oiii don't I get any attention!" Dom said pulling Lydia away from me. "I'm only your best friend and the most amazing cousin in the universe!"
Dom finally let her go and Lydia sent me a wink, not any wink though, this wink made me weak at the knees.
All I could hear in the background was sniggering from James and Albus. I just rolled my eyes.
She had grown, she's was less like the girl who left and more of a woman who I love more then anything.

When I woke, I smiled down at the girl who was snuggling into my chest. The girl who makes my heart beat proudly, the woman who I love and would always love.
I looked over her head to see her dad.

"Mr Weasley." I said swallowing hard as he eyed me, I mean I am sleeping next to his daughter.

"Mr Lupin." He said in a dangerously low and scary voice.

"We were just talking and she asked me to stay I couldn't really say no and-" he cut me off by raising his hand.

"No need to explain yourself Mr Lupin." He smiled gently, "my daughter has her own mind." He chuckled, "your girlfriend wouldn't be so please if she found you with her cousin."

"I'm a free and single man now." I laughed heart fully.

"Ahhh" Charlie nodded leaning back into his chair, "how come? If I'm not introducing."

"She disrespected Lydia. I love Lydz and nobody will ever disrespect her while I'm around." I said smiling down at the most amazing, gorgeous girl I know.

"Yes well, I best get off." Charlie said standing, "dragon's need to be fed and all."

"Wait," I said, "when does she leave?"

"Just after the Halloween feast." Charlie said smiling and disappeared down the hall.

It's only the 3rd day at Hogwarts and we've already found out so much. The girl in my arms started to stir. Her big, doe like, green eyes fluttered opened.
"Good morning." She said sleepily.
"Morning." I said smiling.

Last night's dream came flooding back to me. I fought the urge to kiss her perfectly full, lushes lips and bit the inside of my cheek. She probably didn't feel the same.

"We best get going" she whispered. "Breakfast and classes and all."

I agreed and we left. Our hands, that intertwined over night apparently, were now no longer and my hand felt cold without hers.

I got dressed and sat down at my house table next to my dorm mates. Matt looked knackered already.

"God you look awful mate." I said patting his back.

"I ran this morning with Dom." He panted, "from 6am till 7:30 and god can she run. Jesus Christ."

Leo laughed, as did Ben and I. Cain just raised an eyebrow.

"I never realised you were so unfit Matt." Cain said in a serious tone.

"Yeah well neither did I until I ran from the quidditch pitch to the hospital wing with Teddy levitating behind me, then to the great hall." Matt explained.

"Hey at least you're on the team Ted." Cain said patting me on the back.
