Teddy Lupin- Twist In Time

1st Word

DON'T OWN ANYTHING!!!!!!! PRIVATE MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS!!!!

Andromeda Tonks's house.

Harry's P.O.V.

"Hey Harry, Hermione, Ron," Andromeda Tonks welcomed the three of us into her house.

"Hey." Ron said, smiling at her.

"Thanks for coming round guys." Andromeda smiled, "Teddys been getting really bored on his own."

"It's fine Andromeda." Hermione smiled back at her, "We love seeing him."

"Do you lot want a butterbeer?" Andromeda asked us.

"Please." We all said together.

"I'll go get some." She smiled at us, "Teddy'll turn up soon.". She turned around and went straight to the kitchen.

As I shut the door behind me Teddy ran into the hallway and headed straight for me. I picked him and swung him round in a massive hug. He shrieked gleefully, hugging me tightly. When I tried to put him down he just screamed loudly and held onto me even tighter. I could see Ron sniggering at me out of the corner of my eye.

"Least Teddy likes me," I smirked at him, shots fired. The grin fell from his face and he swore at me under his breath.

"Stop arguing you two," Hermione sighed at us, taking Teddy from me and carrying him into the living room. Ron stuck his middle finger up at me quickly before following Hermione. I grinned at him, knowing that he wouldn't dare argue with his gifriend.

In the living room Teddy was, probably unconsciously, changing the colour of his messy hair. Ron and Hermione were laughing loudly as his hair started to ripple between orange and dark blue.

"Here are your butterbeers guys." Andromeda walked in, holding four cups of the frothy drink. She gave a glass to each of us, keeping one for herself. I sat on one of the small sofas pulling Teddy onto my knee with one hand and sipping butterbeer with the other.

"What do you think his first word will be 'Dromeda?" Ron said suddenly.

"I'm not sure." She replied thoughtfully, "There are some times when he nearly says Tonks." I saw small tears spring into Andromeda's eyes and tried to change the train of thought.

"Teddy," I said, putting my drink in between my legs and turning the little boy around on my lap, "Can you say blue? Blue."

"B-b-b." He stammered a bit, almost there, before stopping and dipping a pudgy finger in my drink. We all laughed loudly and I was relieved to have the thought taken away from his parents for a couple of seconds. Teddy laughed too and his hair finally decided on an emerald green.

"Did he enjoy his birthday 'Dromeda?" Hermione asked his grandmother. I put my empty butterbeer glass on the floor and listened intently.

"He loved it thanks Hermione." She answered, smiling proudly at Teddy, "He adores the presents he got, especially the one from you Harry." I blushed a bit and grinned happily. For my godson's first birthday I had brought him a colour changing wolf teddy bear. I was pleased that he liked it, I thought he would have done. I looked up and saw that Ron was leaning back on the sofa, obviously trying to impress Hermione.

"Oi lazy," I grinned, standing up and carrying Teddy over to him. Ron had his eyes closed and didn't even know I was there. I sat Teddy down next to him and started to tickle Ron. Ron screamed like a girl and Teddy even started tickling him too, "Wake up!" I said finally, stopping tickling him and collapsing next to him.

"Boys," Hermione said jokingly, rolling her eyes.

"Harry," Ron groaned, trying to sit up.

"It was 'Mione!" I laughed, pointing accusingly at her.

"Not funny Harry." Hermione said angrily, but still couldn't help the corners of her mouth twitching into a smile.

"Do you want me to take Teddy up to bed 'Dromeda?" I asked, looking at my little godson who was falling asleep against my chest.

"If you would Harry." Andromeda smiled thankfully at me. I smiled back at her and stood up, cradling Teddy in my arms. I headed out of the living room and up the stairs, towards my godson's bedroom.

Teddy's room was quite small, but cute nevertheless. The walls were a light blue and covered in old pictures. I could make out pictures of Remus and Tonks among pictures of Teddy himself. I carried the sleeping boy over to his bed and laid him down on it. I tried not to wake him as I changed him into his pajamas.

As I tucked him under the duvet he started to wake and opened his eyelids to reveal the pale brown colour of his iris I had seen every time I looked at Remus.

"Tonks," He whispered once before he looked expectantly up at me, "Tonks," He said again.

"She was your Mummy," I told him, smiling even though tears were beginning to sparkle in my eyes. I picked up a picture off his bedside table. It showed him as a newborn baby, Tonks was holding him and Remus had his arms around the both of them. The two adults were laughing and looking proudly down at their baby son, "That's Tonks." I showed Teddy the picture and pointed at his mother.

"Mummy," He whispered once more before drifting peacefully off to sleep, his hair changing to his mother's shade of bubblegum pink. I kissed his forehead lightly and placed the picture back down on the table.

"Goodnight, Teddy Remus Lupin." I whispered, the words catching in my throat as the tears fell from my eyes.

I headed back downstairs in silence, trying to keep my tears under control.

"Harry," Hermione looked at me in shock as I walked in, "Harry, what is it."

"Teddy's said his first word." I told them, sitting down and looking around at the three pairs of eyes that were fixed on my face.

"What was it?" Andromeda asked me, looking proud but also upset at the same time.

"Tonks." I said quickly and felt guilty as both Andromeda and Hermione burst into tears.

"Tonks." Ron repeated, smiling but unwillingly letting the tears build up in his eyes.

"Tonks." I replied, nodding my head.

Hope you liked it!! I'm ashamed to say that I was crying as I wrote this :-)!! Isn't it such a cute first word!?!?!
