EDWARD

"Teddy" Remus Lupin was born on sunny day of April. Remus and Nymphadora decided to name his after Nymphadora's father, as to honor him. The sadness of Ted's dead was still present but it wasn't so visible. All the attention in the Tonks residency was now all about little Teddy whom Celeste adored. 

She was so good with him that Remus and Nymphadora chose her as his godmother in which Celeste responded by squealing so happily. But even if things were looking brighter for them, it didn't mean that everything was fine. The war was still on, and the final battle was approaching.

"Aunties," Celeste said when she arrived to the kitchen where Andromeda and Olivia were drinking their afternoon tea. 

Teddy was in a bassinet near them ― the month old baby was sound asleep.

"Uncle Will," she continued when she saw her uncle by the sink washing dishes. 

Her two aunts lifted their gazes from the paper they were reading and turned to look at their niece. 

For a small second, Andromeda thought she had seen Narcissa again. This happened often, her thinking that Celeste was her little sister.

"Yes dear?" She asked and gestured Celeste to sit next to her.

The girl walked over to the table, pecked both aunts' cheeks and sat on an empty wooden chair. She nervously played with a piece of parchment she was holding in her hands. Olivia noticed this and frowned.

"What is that?" Olivia asked and pointed at the parchment.

"Oh it's a letter, from Ginny," Celeste said with her eyes wandering everywhere but never meeting her aunt's. She sighed and handed the letter over to Andromeda and Olivia who were eager to know what had made her niece look so, melancholy.

William narrowed his eyes before approaching his wife and Andromeda. He began to read the letter over their shoulders while his eyes got bigger and bigger.

Celeste's two aunts and uncle read the letter, they read it several times. They thought about what to do or what to say. 

Ginny had expressed her concerns over the safety of every student at Hogwarts and informed that she, Neville and Luna had restarted Dumbledore's Army and were now seeking for Celeste and Leo's help.
