Teddy Lupin- Twist In Time

The Death List

Teddy's POV-

"It seems that an explanation is in order." Dumbledore smiled kindly, his blue eyes that I'd only ever seen in paintings twinkling brightly.

"Hi Professor." Alfie said confidently, standing up and sticking out a hand that Dumbledore shook politely, "My name's Alfie, this is Nyx and the one with the pink hair is Teddy. We all came from the year 2009 so that Ted could meet his parents."

"Do you happen to have any Veritaserum on you Albus?" Mad-eye grunted, still looking rather suspicious.

"I do." Dumbledore replied, "But I hardly feel it would be necessary. After all, everything seems plausible and I did have a slight feeling that there would be some point when relatives visited, wanting to meet family." He nodded towards me and my parents, smiling softly.

"Can you tell us about the future?" Sirius butted in, leaning back against his chair from where he'd leapt out of it.

"Could we Professor?" Nyx asked him, I was still buried in the hug between my parents.

"Deaths, weddings and births will be fine." He replied, sitting at the head of the table and motioning for us to do the same. Mum and Dad finally pulled away from the hug, still holding me close as they guided me to a seat.

"We'll start with deaths." I said, still one hand in my Mum's, "In order. Is Cedric dead?"

"Yeah." Kingsley nodded, "End of last year."

"Right." I said, "Next is Sirius." I could see Severus Snape hold back a smirk.

"What!" Sirius yelped, "I can't die! I'm too awesome!"

"You're killed by Bellatrix in battle." I tell him, "I'm sorry. Next is Albus." There was a few gasps of outrage as I said this, some people calling me a liar.

"Oi!" Mum yelled, shutting everyone up, "Its not his fault and he wouldn't say it if it was a lie!"

"And who kills me?" Dumbledore asked serenely, as if he couldn't be calmer about the whole thing.

"Snape." I half whispered, looking sorrowfully at the greasy potions master. After all, me and Dumbledore were the only ones who knew that Snape was innocent. Sirius launched himself off his chair and onto Snape, punching him in the face as they fell to the floor,

"How dare you!" He yelled, smashing his face, "How bloody dare you!"

"Sirius!" Dad barked, jumping to his feet and pulling his friend off Snape.

"He is innocent." I told Sirius calmly, squeezing Mum's hand gently, "But I'll explain that later."

"Who's next?" Molly asked, hugging George and Fred into her.

"Mad-eye." Nyx said sadly, placing a restricting hand on Sirius's shaking shoulder, "By Voldemort." A couple of people shuddered or squeaked as she said the name. Tears started to well up in Mum's eyes and, with a look from Sirius, Dad put an arm around her, hugging her tight to his chest. Mad-eye, on the other hand, just shrugged it off and looked back at me, waiting for the next name.

"My grandad." I said sadly, "Ted, by Snatchers. That's who I'm named after." Mum properly burst into tears this time, soaking Dad's shirt as she buried her face into it.

"Sorry Dora." Was all Sirius said, sad but smirking slightly at my parents.

"Then Remus." Alfie said, reaching across the table and patting my shoulder comfortingly, "By Antonin Dolohov." Dad paled slightly, gently stroking the top of Mum's head.

"And after him, Tonks." Nyx added in, trying to force a smile. Tears were falling from my eyes, but I didn't care. Mum pulled to my feet and into the hug, clinging to me like the world would stop at that exact moment, "Killed by Bellatrix."

"I'm sorry." Albus said quietly, the first time is heard him speak since we discussed his own death, "Such things should not happen to a family."

"After Tonks," Alfie carried on, "Fred Weasley." Both Molly and George let out a strangled cry, pulling Fred into a tight hug.

"Hey guys." Fred joked, "I'm not dead yet." He smiled weakly, but was white as a sheet and shaking slightly.

"And then Snape." I said. He went, if possible, even paler as Sirius did a small victory punch, "But, as I said, he was innocent."

"Anyone else?" Arthur Weasley asked.

"Bellatrix, killed by Molly." I answered, watching as Sirius and Mum thanked her in unison, "Colin Creevey, obviously Voldemort and about fifty others."

"Fifty." Kingsley gasped in disbelief.

"Some underage. Mostly our side." Nyx told him, looking down sadly.

"How did You Know Who die?" George asked me, still hugging Molly.

"Harry." I said, looking at Dumbledore from across the table and nodding once, "He killed him."

"Good." Arthur said.  It was slightly strange knowing that, in twelve years, he would be the grandfather to Harry Potter's children.

A.N- And the writer's block kicks in! I literally can't think of anything to write:-(. Sorry that its really short.
