Teddy's POV-

"What do you mean it's me?" Dad, I mean Remus, asked, a bit of suspicion clouding in his eyes.

"What is it Moony?" I heard a voice say, thankfully directing the attention away from us for just enough time for me to take the Time Turner and shove it in my pocket. A man with curly, black hair and twinkling mischievous eyes walked in, humming a tune to himself and looking curiously at us. I recognised him from pictures that people had showed me, he was Sirius Black, Harry's Godfather. Lots of people had said that him, my dad and Harry's dad were best friends at Hogwarts. My Dad's nickname was Moony, Sirius was Padfoot and James Potter was Prongs. They were the Marauders, the greatest pranksters Hogwarts had ever seen.

"Hey." Alfie prompted, trying to break the awkward silence as both men stared at us.

"How did you get here?" Sirius asked, slowly drawing his wand out of his pocket. I did the same before sighing and putting it back in. There was no point in trying to fight, and I didn't know any decent spells.

"We should take them to Dumbledore." Remus said calmly, putting his wand back in the holder and looking to Sirius to do the same.

"Mad-eyes here." Padfoot reminded him, "There's a meeting on in a couple of minutes, it'll be better with all of us."

"EVERYONE!" A loud voice, which I recogniced as Molly Weasley's, echoed through the house, "MEETING!"

"Coming Molly!" Remus shouted back, still looking curiously at me.

"Come on kids." Sirius frowned at us, "Kitchen." He watched in shock as we walked past him, obviously knowing the way to go.

We went single file through the corridor, passing Great Great Aunt Walburga's portrait on the way.

"In you go." Remus said as we reached the door, pushing it open for us. Sitting round the table was a host of people, some I knew and some I didn't.

"Who are you?" A person who had to be Mad-eye Moody snapped.

"We'd rather not say." Nyx butted in, taking the words out of my mouth, "At least not yet."

"Why?" Kingsley Shacklebolt, a later Minister for Magic, "What's the big deal?"

"Why are you here?" Mad-eye interrupted him.

"Manners please Mad-eye." Another voice said, "Try actually having a positive side at the moment." I looked across the table to where the voice came from and gave a small whimper. Sitting there, laughing with Bill Weasley, was my Mum. She had messy pink hair and was twirling a wand that looked so similar to mine in her fingers, "How about we start from the top?" She carried on, "If you want to tell us your names, do it now."

"Nyx Ottobourne." My friend said from behind me.

"Alfie Carter." The whole group of people smiled at the other two before turning expectantly to me.

"Teddy." I said, "I'm not saying my surname."

"Okay." Mad-eye grunted, apparently satisfied with our answers, "How and why are you here?"

"I wanted to see my parents." I told him, fiddling with my fingers, "They died when I was three weeks old."

"Aww, you poor thing." My mum said, giving me a sympathetic look. I started to tear up, but this time because both of my parents were in the room, and didn't even know me. I could feel my hair going ice blue, and looked to Nyx for help.

"We came by Time Turner." Nyx carried on, "Professor McGonagall gave us permission."

"A likely story." I heard Sirius mutter.

"But we have no choice but to believe them." Remus said back to his friend.

"Fine." Mad-eye nodded, "It makes sense." Everyone, except Sirius, agreed with him, so we were allowed to sit down.

"How do we know you aren't gonna curse us?" One of the Weasley twins asked me.

"Two reasons." Nyx said, "First is that we've only been at Hogwarts one day. Second, both of Teddy's parents are in this room."

"What?" Molly gasped, looking at everyone in turn.

"I'm going to take a shot at one thing." Sirius said, "My dearest cousin Tonksie is your mum. Am I right?" She gasped in shock and looked up at me.

"Yeah." I nodded. Mum stood up and hurried towards me, tears welling in her eyes. I hugged her as tightly as I could, sobbing into her shoulder. I breathed in the smell of her perfume, jasmines and orchids.

"Well Nymphie." The other twin grinned as we broke apart, "I feel we should know who you've been sleeping-" He was cut off by Molly slapping him round the back of the head and frowning disapprovingly.

"No, I want to know." Sirius said, leaning back on his chair, "Who is it my cousin shares her bed with?" Both me and Mum blushed bright red, our hair going the same colour.

"Well my full name is," I hesitated slightly, glancing at my Dad, "EdwardRemusLupin." I said the last part really quickly and quietly, nervous about reactions.

"What?" Mad-eye asked.

"Edward Remus Lupin." I said slowly and felt my Mum's hand around my shoulder tighten slightly.

"You knock up my cousin?!" Sirius yelped, staring at my Dad.

"I just knew it would happen!" Molly squealed, looking backwards and forwards between them both. They just stared at each other, mouths slightly open.

"Remus." Mum said finally, breaking the silence, "Say something, please."

"How?" He practically whispered, still looking in shock at me and Mum.

"I blame you two." Sirius grinned mischeviously, "He won't have conceived himself."

"Are you a-?" Dad asked me, ignoring Sirius's comment as he slowly came back into reality.

"No." I shook my head, "Just a Metamorphagus." A smile flashed across his face as he walked over to us.

"This is the first time I've ever hugged you both." I pointed out as I got wrapped up in his arms. I tried to make the moment last forever, just staying with my family, the ones I'd barely even met.

"Sorry I'm late." I heard a voice say and the sound of shoes walking through the door. Mum and Dad drew away from the hug, looking at the man who had just walked in. Standing in the doorway was the Headmaster Albus Dumbledore with a slightly amused, but understanding, expression on his face.

<><>A.N- *sob*. He's met his family!!!! I have been waiting so long for this to happen. Do you like the reactions? Please comment if you want me to change them at all.<><>
