Time Rewound

Explanations

8th of August, 1995
All Teddy Lupin-Weasley saw was black.
His mouth felt as though it was glued shut with cement. It was as though he was everywhere and nowhere at the same time, being pushed through a tube.
Suddenly, Teddy slammed to the ground with Vic, his cousins, and Scorpius. Teddy grunted and heard many of his cousins cry out. He was lying on his back, his limbs tangled with Louis's.
"AHHH, TEDDY GET OFF ME! " yelped Louis.
"I'm trying, Louis," Teddy exclaimed. His vision was blurry. Teddy and Louis disentangled themselves from each other, with difficulty on Teddy's part.
The room they were in looked like an older, more grimy version of the drawing room they'd been in just minutes ago. Teddy knew what had happened; they'd traveled back in time.
Everyone was shouting, but Teddy couldn't hear a word they were saying. Faint stomping could be heard from outside the door. Teddy tried his best to calm everyone down, but it was to no avail. The stomping grew louder. Jamie was still lying on the floor. Victoire was reassuring Molly that everything would be fine.
The door creaked open and two familiar-looking ginger men stepped into the room. A pale man with long black hair, a man who looked to be an older, scruffier, brown-haired version of himself, and a pale woman with short, brown-purple hair followed them. They stunned Teddy and the other adults. The ginger man with long hair, whom Teddy supposed had to be a young Bill(before he'd been mauled by Greyback), tied Teddy up in ropes, gagged him, and dragged him towards the kitchen.
Teddy knew that if the Order was staying at Grimmauld Place, then it must be 1995, meaning that the scruffy man and pink-haired woman were... his parents. He'd finally get to meet his parents, even if it was in less than ideal circumstances.
Bill hauled Teddy onto a chair, while the other Order members did the same to the rest of the time travelers, including Molly Jr., Hugo, and Amaryllis. The Order must think we're Death Eaters, Teddy thought.
Over at the fireplace, Arthur was flooing someone, though he didn't know who. Molly and Dad were talking anxiously in a corner. Arthur stepped away from the hearth. The fire turned red for a moment before reverting to green.
Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, and Severus Snape walked out of the fire.
Teddy knew complying would be the best thing to do, if they thought Victoire, and the other time travelers were death eaters the order wouldn't hold back.
Dumbledore waved his wand, and the gag vanished from Teddy's mouth.
"Open your mouth," Severus commanded. He poured a clear liquid onto Teddy's tongue. Severus then walked away.
"Are you and your associates death eaters?" Asked Dumbledore.
"No," Teddy replied.
"Then how did you get here?" asked professor McGonagall.
"My cousin Jamie broke a time turner," replied Teddy, jerking his head toward the auburn haired boy on a chair next to him. The order looked appalled.
"May I ask you to elaborate further?" Dumbledore phrased it like a question, though It felt like a command.
And so, Teddy started to explained the events of the past half hour, until Bill interrupted.
"-wait, how would a broken time turner take you back in time, especially 32 years in the past."
Teddy replied, "Well, the first Time-Turners were created in the 1910s, and there were only ten of them. They soon found out that the Turners could take you to any random point in time, but they also discovered that they couldn't destroy them without risking the temporal sand inside sending a bunch of people to who knows where. Obviously, the Unspeakables eventually ironed out the kinks of the temporal sand for the Time-Turner Hermione used," As soon as Teddy finished speaking, he realized what he had said. Shock echoed throughout the room.
Teddy continued.
"Anyway, almost all of the original Time-Turners were shipped out to the Mariana Trench in hopes that no humans would ever find them. The one we broke was the only one that survived because a Black family member had stolen it a year before the Unspeakables decided they were too dangerous. In Fall 1999, an Auror raid found it in the home of Atticus Nott, and his wife Cappella, who's a relative of Sirius."
"But how did this Jamie kid get a-hold of something as dangerous as a time turner?" Asked Teddy's mum.
"Some cronies of the major crime lord 'The Augury' attempted to break the Time-Turner out of the vault it was in; the Hit Wizards couldn't arrest them, and we knew they had other people working against us. They moved the Time-Turner to Head Unspeakable Greengrass's house for two weeks, and then moved it to Auror Williamson's house. The day after that, two men working with 'The Augury' attempted to raid the Greengrass's house; only one of them was arrested, and he's refusing to speak. The Time-Turner was bounced around different safe houses, most of which also got raided, until it ended up at Grimmauld Place," said Teddy.
"But why were all of you here in the first place?" Asked Sirius, disconcerted.
"Me, Victoire, her siblings, Lucile, Uncle Oliver, Aunt Angelina, and Aunt Fleur were watching the kids here while the rest of their parents, uncles, and aunts were at a ministry meeting, discussing where to hide it next."
"I meant that as in how did youse have excess to Grimmauld Place," said Sirius.
Ah, yes, Teddy thought, that part of the story.
Teddy tried to stop himself, but couldn't.
"Harry's my godfather, he lives there with his wife and Kids, you gave him the house in your will."
Shock fell over the room.
"What do you mean I gave Harry the house in my will? how do you know Harry-" Sirius stopped mid-sentence, as Dumbledore had given a look that said "I'm asking the questions."
"Mr- oh, how rude of me, I forgot to ask you your name, what is it?" Asked Dumbledore.
"Edward Lyall Lupin-Weasley, but everyone calls me Teddy," Teddy couldn't stop the words that flowed from his mouth.
The look of horror on his fathers face would keep Teddy awake at night.
Teddy had no cousins, or uncles, or aunts who could've continued the Lupin surname, he had to be Dad ' son.
"Who's the mother?" Asked Sirius, it might've been funny, if he wasn't glaring daggers at him.
"Nymphadora Andromeda Tonks," said Teddy.
His father blushed, clenching his fists. His mother's hair turned a violent orange. Sirius looked back and forth between Teddy's parents, his eyebrows scrunched up in thought.
"Back to the topic at hand," Dumbledore raised a hand.
"So, to be clear, an original time turner managed to keep smuggled out of the ministry. They find it in the possession of Mr. and Mrs. Nott, then eighteen years later Delphi Rowle attempts to steal it, it gets passed around from place-to-place, until Jamie found it in Harry's study?" said Professor McGonagall.
"Yes, that's what happened," replied Teddy.
"Then, would I be correct in my assumption that Jamie, and the black-haired boy sitting next to Jamie, are the sons of Harry Potter and one of the Weasleys?" asked Dumbledore.
Molly and Arthur both had strange looks on their faces.
"Yes, you would be correct, he's the son of Harry and Ginny," said Teddy.
Jamie made a face; Artie rolled his eyes. Molly squealed with joy, while Arthur looked pleased. Dad and Professor McGonagall appeared nonplussed.
"Really, Ginevra? I'd have thought Ronald, considering how close they are, he was Harry's hostage in the second task, after all," whispered professor McGonagal to Dad, who didn't reply.
"Are the rest of your companions also Weasleys?" asked Dumbledore, the ghost of a smile on his face.
"Almost all of them, except for the blond, he's a Malfoy," replied Teddy.
Everyone craned their necks to stare at Scorpius, the only one of the time travelers blond enough to be a Malfoy.
"Oh, don't worry, Scorpius is a good kid," said Teddy.
Scorpius smiled innocently.
"Well if you say so," muttered McGonagall, similar sentiments being uttered by other order members. Dumbledore murmured something in Snape's ear.
Snape rose from his seat and took out the vial of Veritaserum. He ungagged Scorpius, and poured it down his throat, as he struggled against his chair. Snape stepped away, and Scorpius accepted his fate.
"Mr. Malfoy, Why did Harry Potter let you into his house," asked Dumbledore.
"Because I'm dating his son," replied Scorpius.
"Why would he let you do that?!" Asked Sirius, appalled.
"Because he wants him to be happy," said Scorpius simply.
Sirius Looked unconvinced, but kept his mouth shut.
"Well, I think I'm done here, if that's all the information you have, we'll search for a way to send you back home, of course," Dumbledore rose from his chair, along with Snape and McGonagall. Snape took out a vial of something white. He sauntered over to the time travelers. Snape poured the substance down Teddy's throat. It was sour-tasting and chunky. Teddy cringed. Snape walked off and gave the antidote to Scorpius.
He, McGonagall, and Dumbledore flood out of the room, presumably Hogwarts.
Dad swished his wand, and vanished the ropes, and gags that were on the Time Travelers. Dad then sunk into his chair completely, and closed his eyes. Teddy tentatively moved his chair closer to the table. In the corner of his eye he could see Artie and Scorpius whispering to each other.
"So, I'm going to get the kids, and we'll finish cooking dinner," announced Molly.
"I'll help," piped up Jamie.
Victoire, Lucy, and Hugo also volunteered to help. Molly sent them off to get cooking.
Molly left the kitchen.

**********************************

Eight minutes later, she returned.
"Who the fuck are all of these people?!" exclaimed uncle Ron.
Teddy rubbed his eyes, and sat down, his head aching.
