Ginny: You're definitely up to something

Teddy looked at his cousins and nodded, signaling that it was ok for them to give out information

"Very well, I will start, My name is Teddy..."

"Very well, I will start, My name is Teddy..."

"Wait" James called out, "I think, given that who we are. Maybe it's best to sit down. I for one don't want to be standing when Lil's here keeps prattling on and on." This earned him a smack from Lily to which he responded to with a grin.

"Before we start the introductions, I think it's best if some of us take our leave," Sirius said while glaring at Severus.

"I agree," Teddy said, "It would be too confusing with everyone from the Order here. The people who are relevant to us and our timeline are Harry, Hermione, All the Weasleys, Remus, Tonks, Sirius, Snape, Fleur, McGonagall, Moody, and Dumbledore"

"Very well," Dumbledore said as everyone who wasn't included in Teddy's list made to leave.

Mrs. Weasley sighed knowing she had to get all the kids here. She didn't appreciate having to put them in a potentially dangerous situation, but it seemed as she had no choice.

A few minutes later, after the children were gathered from the other room, Dumbledore beckoned Teddy to start introducing himself

Teddy smiled sheepishly, his nerves firing up at the prospect of meeting his parents. He took a deep breath and began, "Hey, I'm Teddy. I was a Hufflepuff and I already graduated Hogwarts and now I work in the ministry. As I said before most of you are related to us here because we are family. Almost all of our parents are here and I guess it would be more fun if you were to guess" Teddy ended playfully while still sneaking in glances of his parents wondering if they would figure it out

Tonks was the first one to step out and she held Teddy's hand while looking at him. After scanning him over she whispered one word, "Son?"

Teddy nodded with trying to hold his tears back as he hugged his mother for the first time. It took everyone a few seconds to realize that Tonk's assumption was correct. A few hoots and hollers were released around the room. Nobody noticed the teary eyes the next-generation children had.

"Who's the father?" Tonks asked after they both pulled away

"Remus Lupin," Teddy said quietly feeling alien in his own body after that joyous sensation

Tonks immediately turned around and looked at Remus. Once Remus realized that Tonks was looking at him, his face was devoid of all color. He went up to where Tonks was standing with her hand on Teddy's shoulder. His face expressed his unspoken questions but Teddy just nodded to answer one of them. Remus was too shocked to move, wordlessly Teddy embraced his father tightly ignoring the joyous exclamations that were occurring around him.

Meanwhile, Roxanne joked as she turned to Rose and said, "Rosie, I'm not sure if you know this but when two people who hopefully love each other meet..." as Fred and George who were sitting opposite to the next generation snickered as Rose's face matched her father's hair.
